During the retreat, the loss of equipment of the RF Armed Forces was calculated in tens of units, not hundreds. Moreover, most of the left weapons were destroyed by the Russians themselves, so as not to leave them to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But the habit of hiding the truth about what is happening remains, notes MI6.
The Russian troops are still divided due to the low level of junior and middle managers, as well as the habit of hiding the real situation at the front. Speaking of which said in British intelligence.
“For instance, in recent months, two companies subordinate to the Eastern Military District have escaped after their commander is killed. Other officers probably lied in an attempt to cover up this incident,” the scouts said.
However, the recent withdrawal of Russian troops from the right bank of the Dnieper to the Kherson region occurred in relatively good order compared to previous major Russian withdrawals during a full-scale war.
The scouts noted that such actions were most likely due to a more effective unified operational command of the occupation forces under the leadership of Sergei Surovikin.
According to the agency, during the retreat, the loss of equipment of the RF Armed Forces amounted to tens of units, not hundreds. Moreover, most of the abandoned weapons were destroyed by the Russians themselves, so as not to leave them to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Recall, on November 18, the British Ministry of Defense said that the RF Armed Forces were manning units withdrawn from Kherson. They will be transferred to the Bakhmut direction of the Donetsk region. According to intelligence, the Russians are building new trench systems near the border with Crimea, as well as along the Seversky Donets River between the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Earlier, on November 12, the spokesman of the Eastern Group of Armed Forces of Ukraine Serhiy Cherevaty said that the transfer of the invaders from Kherson to the east it can affect the intensity of the fights. The Ukrainian army is reducing the potential of the Russian armed forces in the south of the country.
