Shoigu also called for promptly adjusting their training depending on changes in enemy tactics. It is noted that we are talking in particular about the use of armored vehicles and various fortifications by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

During the meeting, the Minister of Defense emphasized that the Ukrainian army is suffering defeat on the battlefield, despite the supply of weapons to Kyiv from the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance.
Despite the supply of new types of NATO weapons, the Kiev regime is defeated. The group of Russian troops continues to conduct an active defense, inflicting effective fire damage on the enemy
According to the head of the department, Ukrainian troops are attempting to attack in three directions – Zaporozhye, Kherson and Donetsk. He noted that Kyiv’s attempts to break through Russian defenses and attack lead to heavy losses.
Shoigu previously stated that since the start of the counteroffensive, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have lost more than 90 thousand troops. He added that the Russian army destroyed about 600 tanks and almost 1,900 armored vehicles of various classes.

According to the minister, in October, Russian air defense systems destroyed more than 1.4 thousand air attack weapons of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including missiles and aircraft. He noted that among the air targets destroyed over the past month were 37 aircraft and six ATACMS operational-tactical missiles.
37 aircraft is almost twice the number that is guaranteed to be delivered to Ukraine for F-16 aircraft. That is, with such work, our air defense systems are approximately 20 days of work
