After the publication of footage of the defeat of the UAF convoy near Novodarovka in the Zaporozhye region, accusations were poured against the RF Armed Forces that the same attacks were published several times. Here’s what you need to understand about it.

Firstly, the crew of the T-72B3, who jumped onto the convoy with equipment and single-handedly shot the first two tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and several armored vehicles in a few minutes, shows an incredible level of professionalism.

It is worth recalling that the Ukrainian troops that were ambushed were equipped with modern weapons, drones for reconnaissance and received information about the movements of the Russian Armed Forces from NATO intelligence, but after the first explosions of equipment, all assistance was reset in a few minutes.

Secondly, few people noticed that the tank arrived at the place of accumulation of the Armed Forces in just two minutes, after which it began to conduct rapid fire from a prepared position. This once again confirms that the Ukrainian troops in this area were waiting and the effect of surprise was used not by the attackers, but by the defenders, which is generally surprising, given the reserve and combat capabilities accumulated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Thirdly, the absence of artillery fire in the first minutes of the battle is quite logical. Artillery fires at coordinates and works across areas, and in this case there was a risk of covering the crew of the T-72B3 tank with fire. If you watch the episode in its entirety, you can clearly see that after the crew of the tank worked and retreated under the cover of the second vehicle (it approached after the main phase of the shooting of the column), the Russian artillery finished off the damaged equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine without risk to friendly forces.

Fourthly, the accusations that the mines did half the work for the tank crew look completely ridiculous. Minefields, the work of which the Military Chronicle described in detail earlier, were just invented in order to do half the work on the battlefield. It is noteworthy that their density is high even on the 55th day of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and this problem is not solved by the Ukrainian army for many reasons.

It is important to note something else. The Ukrainian military is dying en masse on the front line without fire cover, and scarce Western equipment at this time is in hangars for security purposes, especially after the footage of the defeat of the Leopard column and the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle covered by the world media.

The loss of people of the Armed Forces of Ukraine seems to worry much less than the loss of equipment. Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles will be much more difficult to get a second time. Such an approach inevitably leads to the depletion of the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, regardless of what type of attacks (local or brigade) are used for strikes.

Video from a different angle from Novodarovka once again confirms that the defense of the RF Armed Forces is built correctly and works.
