“Canada” announced the introduction of tanks. Analysts say it can change the game.

Declares that Germany and the Netherlands armored personnel carriers (IVF) are being delivered, including ammunition, to Ukraine. and is cooperating with Denmark on the delivery of Leopard 1 battle tanks as well.

In addition, the German leader added that 18 high-performance Leopard 2 tanks have been sent to Ukraine. The Leopard 2 is the long-awaited piece of equipment that Ukraine has been waiting for.

The Leopard 2 tank is considered a piece of equipment that could change the balance of a war that has been going on for almost 14 months because it is being fought mainly by tanks and artillery.

In the past, Ukraine only had older Soviet tanks such as the T-64, which were very limited, for example, requiring 20 minutes to warm up. The vehicle does not have a GPS system (GPS), which makes it inefficient to move and attack enemies.

More importantly, the T-64 was designed for soldiers to sit on artillery shells. If the tank is attacked, the driver has almost no chance of survival.

On the other hand, modern tanks like the Leopard 2 will allow troops to advance faster and more safely.

The armor is strong. It can protect the crew from chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.

The Leopard 2’s main armament is a digitally mounted Rheinmetal 120 mm smoothbore cannon. There is a camera to deflect the beam and a monitor. This makes the attack very accurate.

With features like this, many believe that the Ukrainians will be able to change the course of the war if there are enough Leopard 2s.

apart from Germany Previously, several European countries such as Poland, Portugal and Canada had also supplied Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.

Before the Leopard 2 was gradually delivered to Ukraine, the Allies trained Ukrainian soldiers to use this tank in several European countries.

Tank training exercises in Ukraine at the Bergen military base in northern Germany.

The training was intense. Because the German Army decided to shorten the training period from around 7-11 weeks to just 5 weeks. So that this group of Ukrainian soldiers can return to the front line as soon as possible.

One of those trainers said Even if the training time is less But Ukrainian soldiers showed good skill and capable enough to use this modern tank.

As well as the Leopard 2 battle tank, which will be used as the main battle tank. In this exercise, Marder armored personnel carriers also took part in the exercises.

Armored personnel carriers are another important element of ground combat. These vehicles are designed to transport troops and equipment to frontline areas. Including being able to use it well in combat in certain situations

over the last few months the Allies sent a large number of these armored vehicles to Ukraine. Germany sent 40 Marder armored vehicles to Ukraine.

The United States sent the M2A2 Bradley (M2A2 Bradley), which in addition to transporting 3-6 soldiers per vehicle. A 25 mm caliber machine gun can also be mounted on top. and has an anti-tank missile base when facing enemies in open areas

As well as Leopard 2 tanks and armored vehicles. Ukrainian Defense Minister, Olexi Resnikov, today revealed that the British Challenger 2 main tank has arrived in Ukraine and is ready to be deployed on the battlefield immediately

In addition to inspecting the damage in the region of Zaporizhia, the Ukrainian leader also visited the fronts of the battlefields in the regions of Zaporizhia and Dnipropetrovsk.

After this, the director of the IAEA is expected to travel to investigate the damage to the Zaporizhia power station. Europe’s largest nuclear power station After on March 10 of the past The plant was cut off by Russian missile attacks.

In addition to progress in Zaporizhia another important movement came out today from soldiers on the front line in Bakmut. The battlefield where both sides are currently fighting fiercely.

by the front line commander in Bagmut he came out to say implicitly The reason why the Ukrainian soldiers have to hold their strength in Bagmut is that they want to exhaust the Russian army to prepare for the upcoming counterattack

All that happened was the arrival of western weapons. A trip to the frontline areas of the leadership battleground in Ukraine. Or come out and talk about the purpose of the immobilization in Bagmut in the Donetsk region.

These make many parties think that These were warnings about the upcoming Ukrainian spring counterattack.

As for the area that will become the starting point for counterattack operations, it can start in Zaporizhia. southeast Ukraine The main target areas for Ukraine in this round It is expected to be the city of Melitopol. which is in Zaporizhia

Because it is an important transport route for Russian military supplies. which can be connected in many directions whether the city of Mariupol the city of Zaporizhia the eastern side of the Kherson Oblast; and Dshanki, Russia’s main military city on the Crimean peninsula.

Hold Melitopol This would allow Ukraine to cut off supply routes to the above cities and would be able to cut off Russian troops in the eastern side of Kherson. could leave the troops on other fronts, which would allow Ukraine to launch a war to retake the remaining Kherson region

However, the spring counteroffensive operation had an important condition: Ukraine must have enough weapons, personnel and ammunition. Because the Russians placed Zaporizhia troops firmly. After occupying this area for almost a year

Now Ukraine allies like the European Union and the United States. rushing to deliver artillery shells Equipment for explosive disposal units Large quantities of drugs and medical supplies for Ukraine to prepare for the offensive to retake this area
