The United States report acknowledged that the Ukraine's continuous combat capability is declining

Author:Global Times Time:2022.07.06

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] The Ukrainian Army was forced to evacuate in just one week in Lixica, allowing the outside world to generally question its combat capabilities and will. A US Congress report released by the U.S. Navy Society on July 4 also confirmed this view, that is, the UN military's continuous combat capabilities are rapidly declining.

According to the US Navy Society website, the Congress's report mainly focused on the performance of the battlefield in Ukraine and the future outlook, in order to weigh the US government's continued support for Ukraine. The report shows that Ukraine currently faces the most severe challenge from personnel.

The Ukraine is unable to maintain Western advanced equipment. The picture shows the American "Hamas" rocket launcher.

The report states that the excellent performance of the Ukraine in the early days of the Russian and Ukraine conflict broke out, and most of them were attributed to the initiative of the trained personnel. "Since 2014, the Ukrainian army has gained valuable practical experience during the militia -supported militia -supported militia -supported militia in the Donbass region in eastern Ukraine. The eight -year Wudong war has enabled Ukraine to have a large number of trained and experienced veterans. Soldiers. They, together with other foreign volunteers with combat experience, constitute the backbone of the Ukraine's backup forces without having to conduct long -term training. In addition, the rich experience of the Ukraine's reserve power means that they can quickly take over artillery, Tanks and other support systems, which is essential for the Urpicious Army to resist the Russian army in multiple regions. "

However, after the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine conflict, the Ukraine continued to suffer serious casualties. The report said that in early June 2022, Ukrainian officials estimated that as many as 100-200 soldiers daily were killed in the operation, and the loss of the Ukraine's regular army and technicians may be high. In order to make up for the vacancies brought about by the casualties, veterans with combat experience have been supplemented with a large number of regular forces, and the Urpotal Reserve forces have to recruit recruits again. However, these recruits and volunteers have almost no military experience and must be trained for longer.

Ukraine lacks the ability to maintain Western precision weapons

The report states that in terms of training these recruits, the Ukraine faces two major obstacles. First of all, the Ukrainian army originally established a professional group of professional non -commissioned officers in accordance with the NATO standards to serve as the grassroots backbone of the army. Relying on these professional officials, the Ukraine could perform combat tasks efficiently. After the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine conflict, the Military officer was reduced by a large number of officers, but the veterans supplemented by the reserve troops reduced the influence of insufficient professional non -commissioned officers to a certain extent. However, as the war continues, not only the problem of insufficient professional non -commissioned officers is more severe, but also the supplementary recruits lack experience, and the ability of the Ukraine to complete the task has also decreased significantly.

Secondly, the Ukrainian army was anxious to supplement the front line, which led to the reduction of recruits training to the minimum. The report believes that if the Ukrainian army wants to fight against the Russian army in Russia and Ukraine's conflict, it is necessary to allow recruits to master the ability to participate in complex military operations and the skills to operate advanced weapon systems. This requires more training.

In addition to the loss of personnel, the United States report also mentioned that the serious losses of the Ukraine in terms of equipment have also affected its continuous combat capabilities. "Perhaps due to the loss of battlefield and logistics maintenance, some Ukraine can no longer be supported by motor vehicles." On June 15, the Ukrainian military high -level estimates that some Ukraine's equipment loss was as high as 50%. This reflects the urgent demand for heavy weapons such as tanks, armored vehicles and artillery.

The report mentioned that the Ukrainian army was in obvious winds in artillery. Although the West provided some equipment, the Ukrainian army still mainly relies on the weapon inventory of the Soviet era. The Russian army destroyed Ukraine's defense and military industry through long -range missiles, which has seriously affected Ukraine's ability to maintain, repair and produce heavy weapons and ammunition. Although some Central and Eastern European countries can still produce the equipment of the Soviet era, especially small weapons and shells, observers believe that the production capacity of these countries is far less enough to meet the needs of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian Air Force and air defense systems are still operating effectively, and the dispatch of the Russian Air Force has been quite constrained. However, the report said that it is unclear how many remote air defense systems in the Ukraine still maintain their combat capabilities. "Under the threat of the remote strike force of the Russian army, the Ukraine could not deploy a limited number of remote air defense systems to near the front line, forcing the Ukraine front line to rely on the number of single -soldier air defense missiles to make up."

The report finally summarized that since the outbreak of the Russian -Ukraine conflict, the United States has provided Ukraine with more than $ 6.1 billion in security assistance, and the United States and European allies mainly provide training, logistics, intelligence and military assistance. Because Western aid weapon systems need a long time of training to be used normally, the current training of U.S. and European allies focus on the minimum on -site operation. This method allows the Ukraine to quickly put Western weapons into the battlefield, but the lack of professional maintenance and repair of damaged equipment will cause these precision weapons to soon lose their combat capabilities for various reasons.

Some analysts believe that as a consultation material for the United States, this report's introduction to the current situation of the Ukraine is more realistic than the description of Western media. As the report said, the dilemma encountered by the Ukrainian army can be solved by simply increase military assistance. It also faces a series of core challenges such as training and equipment.
