Russian troops’ tactics degraded as Putin runs low on armour | Maxim Tucker

“The nature of the fighting has changed very drastically. The Russians seem to be running low on armoured vehicles. They, definitely don’t want to use them in the kind of wasteful way that they were before.

Russia’s equipment losses in their push on Kharkiv and elsewhere have forced Putin’s troops to degrade their offensive tactics, The Times’ Maxim Tucker tells Frontline on #timesradio

  4. Rockin' that sexy bachelor look with that open shirt James! You go young man. Have to say, doesn't do it for me, but I know many women who are going wild. Keep up the good work James, you sex machine.😊 Anyway I hear that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is very short. Is that true James?

  6. All the analysis I have seen taking stockpiles into account seems to indicate that while russia is using up a lot more material than they are producing and they are using up their UDSSR stockpiles, they still have a lot of old stock they can throw at the problem, to the point where calling it "running low" is a bit of wishful thinking. They are running dry, but very slowly, and they still have rather large stockpiles to cannibalize.

  8. Why arent russians kicking putin out of office? He has thrown away their entire stockpile of Soviet built hardware, cost them a half million russians, and totally destroyed their economy and world standing??? Are they that cowardly?!

  9. Russia will crush the Ukrainian civil infrastructure before they run out of tanks and soldiers I fear.

    The West have to allow strikes deep into Russia. It's an appalling situation.

    What will Europe do If Trump comes in? We have to cut the European dependance on the US.

    You need to start talking about what's really important.

  21. Weel, the terrorists have managed only 1 thing: the whole west is now hostile to anything russian for the coming decades. They are going down slowly but shurely. The terrorist region is becoming a fourth world economy

  22. Ukraine takes out any armour & artillery that comes into range .
    Russian Tanks will.run out in the late fall evidence is already showing with their use of motor Bikes & golf carts to the front lines as tank numbers fall daily .
    The same for artillery which Ukraine have been destroying Ave 50 units daily * several commentators like Forbes, Telegraph & other headline media have all run articles on these Russian shortages.This is down to Ukraine’s drone force improvements performance & Ulraines expertise in weaponry, observation drones detecting targets .

    2025 for Ukraine will see the Russian aggression slow down as their inability to field armoured vehicles disappear & Ukraines field more armour & combined arms

  24. It was the Ukrainians using the small number attacks in the offensive last year after first failing when trying to go in with big numbers/blunt force. Main reason is artillery. Since Ukraine has to count each round, such small groups being ignored, because it’s not worth a shell…

  25. I'm pro Ukraine but lets be honest russia has been able to not break, but bend the frontline wherever they focus their efforts. This paints a picture that Ukraines problems are as bad if not worse.

  31. How old is this interview really. Biden dropped out several days ago! Why not time stamp these posts as to the day of the interview? We need reliable data and not weeks old recycled stuff. Or at least let us know how dated it is.

  34. Putin will be remembered as a tiny, bald, creepy killer terrorist who spend his years wasting his country´s money to go war with multiple countries. He enslaved his people with fear and he will go on until he bankrupts it all.
    Coward. He is terrified, but the rest of the world is tired of his bullying, killing.

  40. i feel like russia has ~2 years left until war goes cold because russia won't have anything left to attack with, guess well see in 2 years if the prediction was right

  42. You released this 4 hours ago, talking about wondering what's going on with Biden… Have you all not being watching the news for the last 3 days? Tf is wrong with you all? Drumpf isn't getting anywhere near the oval office. Wake up dorks.

  46. Typical empty head british talking trash. Two years ago bbc says russia have no weapon, it is taking chips from washing machine and all that propaganda cabbage.
    Russia is taking new territory every day and bushing ukraine back, soon it will reach kiev, poor uk cant do anything about it thank mouth as usual. Warmonger.
