Ukraine-Kiev Gate, February 27, 2022 – The vehicles of the Russian army deployed in Ukraine are facing an unexpected fuel crisis due to the fact that the Ukrainian air defense system is performing better than what US intelligence estimated before the invasion.
The invasion of Ukraine was met with stronger than expected opposition from our army, and was accompanied by unexpected difficulties in supplying with the forces of the aggressor country; This was reported by CNN, citing high-ranking US officials.
The defense minister said Russia was suffering more casualties in personnel, armored vehicles and aircraft than expected, which can be explained in part by the fact that Ukraine’s air defense system is performing better than what US intelligence estimated before the invasion.
A senior US official confirmed to CNN that Russia was expecting a quick victory, and may have overlooked a plan to provide adequate supplies for its forces, and as it has proven difficult to provide Russia with fuel and ammunition for its large military group.
The official explained that its lines are undoubtedly at risk.
“At our current estimation, he should have involved more logistics, especially fuel, which we thought they had planned from the start of the operation,” one of the officials said.
