A military expert spoke about Kyiv’s transition to “hard rations”

The destruction of a warehouse with ammunition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) near Kharkov contributes to the enemy’s transition to a “hard ration.” A military expert, captain of the first rank Vasily Dandykin spoke about this in a conversation with aif.ru.

Earlier, after an airstrike on a large Ukrainian Armed Forces warehouse in the Velikiy Burluk area of ​​the Kharkov region, a secondary detonation occurred. The explosions did not subside for three hours.

According to the specialist, brigade-level weapons were stored at the facility. “There, the militants tried to break through at Veliky Burluk, there were battles... The warehouse contained shells, mines, cartridges - everything that was necessary for military operations. It is likely that there were also drones there,” the expert believes. Such intermediate warehouses, he explained, play a critical role because they are located in close proximity to the line of combat contact. Their destruction creates huge problems for the supply of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

“Now it’s becoming more and more difficult to deliver ammunition from deep behind the lines. After all, Russian forces are constantly striking at enemy logistics. Therefore, the destruction of such warehouses near Kharkov contributes to the transition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to hard rations,” Dandykin is convinced. He added that the Ukrainian military is suffering significant losses of weapons almost on the line of combat contact, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to replace them in the required quantities.
