Britain’s Secretary of Defense Ben Wallace says according to The Independent that GPS receivers were allegedly found taped to the dashboards of crashed Russian fighter jets of the type SU-34s.
“GPS receivers have been found taped to the dashboards of crashed Russian SU-34s, so that pilots would know where they were, due to the poor quality of their own systems,” says Wallace.
In addition, many Russian vehicles have been found with maps of Ukraine from the 1980s.
There have been reports of poor combat preparation, inadequate equipment and poor morale among Russian soldiers since the invasion on 24 February.
“Russian vehicles had not been properly maintained and many logistics vehicles were immobilized, which led to cheap tires being blown out, all due to poor maintenance or the money for maintenance being spent on other things,” he says.
He adds:
– While Russia has large quantities of artillery and tanks they like to parade, they are not able to exploit them for attack and instead resort to just a lot of arbitrary barricades.

– Make many mistakes
In the Donbas region, Russian forces continue to use outdated tactics, Wallace believes.
“They make a lot of mistakes, but their response is more bombardment and more brutality,” Wallace said NBC News.
– Given that this should be the big repositioning, it has not gone well so far. They still have a problem getting the effect they want.
This week, the British Ministry of Defense stated that the Russian war in Ukraine has revealed that Russia lacks the capacity to carry out precision attacks.

In a intelligence update it referred to Russia’s earlier claim that the country is capable of carrying out precision attacks so that Ukrainian cities would be spared damage, according to the newspaperThe Guardian.
But this has turned out not to be the case, wrote the ministry, which at the same time claimed that Russia’s stockpiles of precision weapons have been sharply reduced since the invasion began on 24 February.
– This has forced the use of available, but older ammunition that is less reliable, less accurate and easier to shoot down. Russia will probably struggle to replace the precision weapons that have already been used, the update said on Monday.
