We have already talked about old Russian T-54/55 tanks. When they were sent to the echelons, we showed them to be numerous and advancing. My assumption at the time was that the Russian army would use them as artillery systems. Such a comment was made by Igor Rajev, NBS reserve colonel and military analyst, in the TV24 program “About the war in Ukraine with Igor Rajev”.

This means that a cannon remains a cannon in Africa as well.
It can fire at a set distance and can deal the same damage as artillery rounds –

accuracy sucks. But having 100 of them is better than having no artillery systems at all. And in this case it is like that swag artillery replacement. But it is artillery, explains Rajev the strategy of the battlefield.
Yes, the barrels of these old tanks wear out faster, the firing distance is shorter, but – yes, the colonel admits. The firing distance depends on the tank, 10-15 kilometers.
A whole company of such tanks arrived a month ago, they were immediately assigned to the howitzer battalion, which means – artillery units. The crew is –
they need to tell the direction, where to shoot, at what angle to raise the cannon, and only in the chest and in the mace. Nothing more is required of them.
Accuracy low, which means more rounds need to be fired to hit the target.
By the way, which phase of the day is the most active? Night?
Rajev admits that it is difficult to say now. In Bakhmut, it was extremely clear that the Ukrainian side was much more active during the day, the Wagnerians were more active during the night. This can be explained by the fact that the Wagnerians had better night vision devices and they had more of them than the Ukrainians.
The good news right now is that Ukrainians are at war day and night. Which means that, probably, they somehow managed to eliminate this shortcoming, admits the military man.
How can Wagnerians have better devices?
“What does a private military company that can buy the best do? They can buy enough of what they need because money is money.
It is such an exclusive formation that the Russians have created.
The Chechens with their Ahmad unit did not take anything, they have all been taken out, they are in the Belgorod region, where a strong Ukrainian position has been established – from there these units can attack the Russian territory in three directions. And to cover the Belgorod region, Ahmad was transferred there, the Wagnerians were also taken there. They themselves claim, as Rajev knew to say, that they will not participate in hostilities until August 5, so that they can regain their strength, train new soldiers and go into battle again.
Rajev believes that these units are deployed there to eliminate pro-Ukraine units.
“But we have to understand that we will most likely see activation in that area around the end of summer. It must be understood that the information war never stopped.” We kept hearing what Prigozhin was saying: I have no ammunition, I can’t do anything, I have nothing to shoot with. At the same time, if we saw the supply data – they shot more than regular Russian army units.
