UK MoD Russian troops have depleted, at least temporarily, the combat capability of deployed formations in Ukraine and are having one of the slowest rates of offensive operations since at least January of this year.

Military expert Pavel Narozhny also noted that the fire pressure of the invaders at the front is significantly weakened. He told Channel 24 about this.

Combat capability is very low

According to the expert, the Russians are blown away.

This is evidenced by the speed of their fire, the number of artillery systems that they bring to firing positions, the number of shots they fire and their accuracy, etc. Narozhny emphasized.

He stressed that, of course, there are sections of the front on which the occupiers can still maintain tremendous pressure. Specifically – in Bakhmut. After all, they threw a very large number of personnel and military equipment there.

“But in general, the combat capability and, most importantly, the offensive capability of the Russian army is now very low,” he said.

Proud of advancing the 500 meters

The military expert drew attention to the fact that Russian propaganda tells how they seized a certain plant located in Bakhmut.

They pride themselves on advancing somewhere between 500 and 600 meters ahead. And this is a huge army, in which there are millions of people. This is all they can tell about their successes,” the interlocutor emphasized.
