Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 25. Juli 2022

Veröffentlicht am von

Im andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine stehen die russischen Streitkräfte nach britischen Angaben vor dem Dilemma, ob sie die Offensive im Osten verstärken oder im Süden die Gegenwehr gegen eine ukrainische Offensive ausbauen. Die ersten Gepard-Flugabwehrsysteme aus Deutschland sind in der Ukraine eingetroffen. Der Sammler am 25. Juli 2022:

• Die ersten Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard aus Deutschland sind in der Ukraine angekommen. Verteidigungsminister Oleksij Resnikow sagte laut Medienberichten am (heutigen) Montag, die ersten drei Gepard seinen bereits an die ukrainischen Streitkräfte übergeben worden.

Die Ukraine soll insgesamt 30 dieser Flugabwehrsysteme erhalten – auf der bislang jüngsten Übersicht der Bundesregierung über Waffenlieferungen an die Ukraine standen sie noch als nicht geliefert. Der Gepard waren bei der Bundeswehr bereits vor mehr als einem Jahrzehnt ausgemustert worden; das Großgerät stand seitdem bei der Herstellerfirma KMW. Da die deutsche Heeresflugabwehr damals aufgelöst wurde und kaum noch aktiven Soldaten Erfahrung mit diesem Waffensystem haben , dürfte die Ausbildung – über die es bislang keine Informationen gibt – eine Herausforderung gewesen sein. Unter anderem wurden Ausbildungsgeräte aus einem Museumsdepot der Bundeswehr geholt.

Mit den 30 Flakpanzern erhält die Ukraine auch 59.000 Schuss Munition – 6.000 von der Industrie, 53.000 soll, gemäß Liste, die Bundeswehr besorgen. Die Munitionsversorgung für diese Systeme erwies sich als Problem, weil die Herstellerfirma dafür in der Schweiz sitzt und die Regierung in Bern eine Abgabe an die Ukraine untersagt hatte. Unklar ist bislang, wie die Folgeversorgung mit Munition aussieht.

• Ergänzung: Nach weiteren Angaben Resnikows wurden mit den von den USA gelieferten HIMARS-Mehrfachraketenwerfern inzwischen 50 russische Munitionsdepots zerstört. Aus der Reuters-Meldung:

Ukraine said on Monday its forces had used U.S-supplied HIMARS rocket systems to destroy 50 Russian ammunition depots since receiving the weapons last month.
In comments on national television, Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov underlined the growing impact that the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) are having as Ukraine tries to repel Russia’s invasion.

• Das britische Intel Update:

Inconclusive fighting continues in both the Donbas and Kherson sectors. Russian commanders continue to face a dilemma; whether to resource the offensive in the east, or to bolster the defence in the west.
On 18 July 2022, intelligence identified a Russian military vehicle refit and refurbishment facility near Barvinok, in Russia’s Belgorod Oblast, 10km from the Ukrainian border.
At least 300 damaged vehicles were present, including main battle tanks, armoured personnel carriers, and general support trucks.
In addition to its well documented personnel problems, Russia likely continues to struggle to extract and repair the thousands of combat vehicles which have been damaged in action in Ukraine.

The enemy’s personnel is demoralized. The russian command in some directions is throwing manpower into the attacks without the cover of armored vehicles. In this way, the officers keep the equipment in working order and try to take revenge on their subordinates for deliberately disabling the weapons. A similar practice of sabotage is widespread among the privates ranks of the occupiers in order not to participate in combat clashes with Ukrainian soldiers.
