Ukraine also has a solid foundation of heavy industry. The Soviet Union divided Ukraine into more than 9,000 tanks and armored vehicles, and the old inventory was amazing. Some equipment can go to the battlefield after maintenance, and some equipment is not advanced enough, but the quantity is still huge.
Outside the United States, the West seems to have little support. In fact, there are a lot of equipment to help Ukraine. Some European countries did not claim to provide assistance on the surface, but actually secretly sent weapons and equipment to Ukraine, which made the Ukrainian army have a large number of tanks and armored vehicles when attacking, and also achieved good results.
Russia made two fatal mistakes. Not fully prepared before the war. It should buy a lot of advanced equipment from other countries. Otherwise, the front line will not be stretched now. If it bought more drones, precision guided missiles and some more advanced tanks and armored vehicles from other countries before the war, it would not be passive. Compared with Ukraine, Russia's equipment has no big advantage except nuclear weapons, and many of its own equipment has suffered heavy losses.
Moreover, Russia did not strike a devastating blow to Ukraine's military factories, so that they could continue to produce, and Russian troops did not cause too much damage to Ukraine's transportation lines, so that a large number of heavy equipment was transported to the front line, enabling Ukraine to assemble a large number of heavy equipment to fight back in a short time.
To put it bluntly, Russia is not at war with Ukraine, but a country has arrived in NATO.
Now the Russian-Ukrainian war is becoming more and more interesting, fierce and complicated. Why do you say that? It started with a battle between Russia and Ukraine. Russia grabs Ukraine like a chicken. As the war continued. Human and material support from NATO countries has arrived in Ukraine.
Of course, the support of manpower will not be blatant, but put on Ukrainian military uniforms. Against Russia. After all, Russia is also a powerful resource provider for NATO countries. But I think this war will be negotiated in the end. After all, Ukraine can't compete with Russia. This is a fact, NATO can't compete with Russia. In its present form, Russia will not give up easily. Everyone knows that you pushed Putin's temper.
The conclusion is that no matter how many elite troops there are, the outcome of the war will not change.
