The Ukrainian servicemen neutralized 20 to 30% of the armored forces of the Russian army – Pentagon

The Russian Armed Forces lost 20 to 30% of their armored forces capacity in battles with the Ukrainian servicemen.

This is stated in a press release from the Ministry of Defense of the United States.

The Pentagon noted that in terms of artillery, the Russian forces outnumber the Ukrainians.

The estimate varies, there are data stating the outnumber is in the range of four, five, six to one. Some analysts state it is 10, 15 to one, others say 20 to one.

General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that the true accurate number is classified.

“What the true accurate number is, I’ll keep our assessments in the classified realm, but they outnumber them,” Mark Milley said.

According to the American general, war is not just a game of numbers, the main thing is how you use weapons.

“The Russians are just doing mass fires without necessarily achieving the military effect, shall we say. The Ukrainians, on the other hand, are using much better artillery techniques and they’re having a pretty good effect on the Russians,” Mark Milley said.

According to the Pentagon, the Russians have lost 20 to 30 percent of their armored forces.

“So the Ukrainians are fighting a very effective fight tactically with both fires and maneuver. And that’s significant,” said Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Previously, on June 15, US President Joe Biden announced the allocation of a new $1 billion military aid package to Ukraine.

Resulting from the conversation with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, in particular, Ukraine will receive additional artillery and coastal defense weapons, as well as ammunition for artillery and advanced missile systems.
