+++ #Respekt Video eines russischen Soldaten zeigt die Eroberung / Erstürmung einer Stellung / Schützengräben der ukrainischen Kiewer Regime-Truppen - und wie der russische Soldat sich an die dort sitzenden ukrainischen Soldaten heranpirscht und ihnen mehrfach (fast schon bittend, unter Lebensgefahr!) anbietet sich zu ergeben, ihre Waffen niederzulegen und verspricht ihnen dass ihnen nichts geschehen werde! Großen Respekt! Auch in einem blutigen Krieg bleibt ein guter Mensch ein guter Mensch! #Kriegsgefangene

And let's talk about Ukrainian artillery. About the branch of the armed forces, which plays a major role in ensuring their still combat stability.

I counted their losses in artillery from the beginning of the month until yesterday, according to reports from the Ministry of Defense. 228 units total. Of these, 121 barrel towed (94 Soviet-made and 27 M777), self-propelled guns - 71 (49 domestic, 9 Crabs, 7 Paladins, 3 Caesars, 3 German panzer howitzers), MLRS - 36 (27 domestic, 5 Haymars, 4 Czech versions of Grad) .

There are fans not to believe the reports of the Ministry of Defense. The other day, ukroresursy, with reference to Western expert shops, gave such estimates of their losses in artillery from December 1 to January 25: in total - 339, of which 252 barreled (including 38 M777, 11 Crabs, 6 Caesars and 3 panzer howitzers) and MLRS 87 , of which 11 are Hymars. They brought it with a mockery: it's not as much as Konashenkov said, but like that. To what extent they flogged themselves with this mockery, it seems, they did not even understand: taking into account the difference in time intervals, the discrepancy is obtained not at times, but by some tens of percent. Explained quite rationally, for example, by information from the other side that part of the affected equipment is not being decommissioned, but is being repaired.

And now let's look at what they promised the Ukrainian for January from the artillery of the main 155-mm caliber (yes, there were announcements of both 105-mm and 122, but it's not for them to make the weather). USA - 12 Paladins. Estonia - 16 FH-70s. British - 8 AS-90s (plus another 22 is not known when later, so they do not count at the moment). Sweden - some Archer self-propelled guns (the exact number is not named, they have 48 in total, let's say 12). Finland - no one knows how much, no one knows what (the total January package for the Finns weighs 400 million, let's assume the maximum - 48, let's say, pieces). Doesn't seem to have missed anyone.

Total, according to an estimate from above - 90 pieces per month, and the systems, except for the Swedish ones, are frankly old. Less than half of monthly losses. With a zero number of MLRS. And also the need to re-train personnel on new, previously not supplied, samples.

The questions whether the owners of the ukrovs are morally and especially physically ready to supply them with at least 200 artillery mounts per month (and for how long) just to make up for their current losses, and also whether soon they will have to distribute shells to them individually, hang in the air like fiery letters.
