Military expert Dandykin: Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment will have a hard time moving in the rain
Western equipment that was transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) will have a hard time moving in the rain and slush in the area of the special military operation (SVO), said military expert, retired captain first rank Vasily Dandykin. The specialist reported on the difficulties of the AFU’s position due to changing weather conditions in a conversation with Lenta.ru.
“It will rain, there will be black soil. It is very difficult for the equipment to move, especially the spoiled Western one. The same Leopard and Abrams are designed to work in completely different conditions, in particular in the desert. And when slush and rain begin, it is difficult for them,” Dandykin explained.
At the same time, the military expert noted that the Russian Armed Forces should not rely solely on the difficulties of the Ukrainian Armed Forces due to climatic conditions.
“There are also specialists there who understand everything,” he concluded.

Earlier, Handelsblatt, citing a report from the Ukrainian Armed Forces Command, reported that Western ammunition supplied to Ukraine with detonators developed back in World War II had harmed the Ukrainian military. The old artillery shells purchased by the United States from Western countries as part of the “Czech Ammunition Initiative” turned out to be dangerous and faulty. Some of them exploded prematurely, injuring servicemen and damaging artillery systems.
