Dice que algunas unidades han perdido hasta un 50% del armamento pesado; en total unos 1300 IFVs, 400 tanques y 700 piezas de artillería. Lo que me llama la atención, es que en el artículo original, parece estar haciendo un cálculo aproximado; lo que marqué en negrita es lo que me desconcierta:
Y algunos ya están haciendo las cuentas, ¿tenían 800 tanques y 1400 piezas de artillería operativas al comenzar la guerra?, o estarán inflando las pérdidas para conseguir más armamento ¿?. En fin, es otro dato más a tener en cuenta.Think about this: one brigade occupies around 40 kilometers of the fence line. That means that to cover the active combat conflict we need 40 brigades. Every brigade is 100 infantry fighting vehicles, 30 tanks, 54 artillery systems — just for one brigade, and we have 40 of them.
I'm not going to talk about the anti-tank guided missiles or anti-tank guided weapons for now. I’m just talking about heavy weapons. As of today, we have approximately 30 to 40, sometimes up to 50 percent of losses of equipment as a result of active combat. So, we have lost approximately 50 percent. … Approximately 1,300 infantry fighting vehicles have been lost, 400 tanks, 700 artillery systems.
That is a mathematical estimation we can make based on the length of the frontline and the intensity of the conflict. So, I'm giving you this estimate just for you to understand how significant the requirement is based on the intensity of the conflict.
So, think about it. If the current need for artillery systems is 700 vehicles, that needs to be replenished because they were destroyed. And we have only received 100 vehicles for example from [foreign] aid.
