Lieutenant General, former Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Igor Romanenko named the types of weapons that will help Ukraine to cope with Russia. Assessing the situation in the east of the country, he urged “not to engage in hats” and “conduct asymmetric actions with the enemy,” writes the Comments.ua portal on Wednesday, October 20.
“Russia is a powerful military state. We cannot exhibit so many armored vehicles, combat aircraft – helicopters, airplanes, manpower. They have missile weapons, and we are just creating our own. Not to mention the navy and nuclear weapons. We need to properly equip our troops. To rely on new developments, on non-traditional types of weapons, ”said Romanenko.
According to him, Ukraine lags far behind Russia in defense capacity, since most of the equipment and weapons in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, at best, are modernized since the times of the USSR.
“All the years of his reign, Putin was engaged in strengthening the defense capability. And in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the proportion of modern weapons in different types of armed forces is 65-75%. Whereas we have 15-20%, ”the general emphasized.
Earlier, on October 16, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny called a way to restore the country’s sovereignty. This will help “Cossack and insurgent blood.” And a day earlier, the adviser to the head of the office of Volodymyr Zelensky, Oleksiy Arestovich, said that Ukraine was working on scenarios in the event of a military conflict with Russia.
