Read previewLetting Ukraine attack Russian military targets directly with its "wonder-weapons" is beginning to turn the tide of the war in Kyiv's favor, says a retired UK colonel. AdvertisementLast month, Politico reported that the Biden administration had given Ukraine its permission to use US-provided weapons on Russian targets in Kharkiv. AdvertisementThe recent turn of events, de Bretton-Gordon said, wasn't something that Russia could simply withstand by relying on attritional warfare. Last month, Russian leader Vladimir Putin hinted that European countries who'd encouraged Ukraine to attack Russia directly could face reprisals. Representatives for Ukraine's and Russia's defense ministries didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from BI sent outside regular business hours.

This was the same problem that partially brought Nazi Germany to its knees, wrote Hamish de Bretton-Gordon and James Holland in a commentary published on Wednesday by The Telegraph. They recalled how Nazi Germany had obsessed over the quality of its tanks, chiefly the King Tiger, but meanwhile only managed to produce less than 500 of them. AdvertisementIn total, Nazi Germany built just under 50,000 tanks during the war, while the US built over 100,000. The sheer numbers made a difference in World War II, and they'll make a difference now, de Bretton-Gordon and Holland wrote. Russia's mass-production gameIn June 2023, de Bretton-Gordon praised British armor for its quality in his commentary on the war in Ukraine.

This has given Russian forces the chance to make small but steady gains. It's one of 30 settlements that have seen heavy bombardment by Russian forces, Kharkiv Governor Oleh Syniehubov said on Monday. AdvertisementHolding on until Western aid comesMeanwhile, chronic delays in Western support has left Ukraine badly under-supplied in ammunition. Advertisement"This year represents a window of opportunity for Russia," military analyst Michael Kofman told the Times. "But if the Russian military is not able to turn these advantages into battlefield gains and generate momentum, there's a fair chance that this window will begin to close as we enter 2025."

☆ Russia's inflatable decoy tanks are 'not credible' and need to be way better to trick Ukraine, expert says
  + stars: | 2023-09-27 | by ( Sophia Ankel | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Russia is using inflatable tanks as decoys in Ukraine. The Russian decoys are too obvious and unlikely to trick Ukraine, he said. However — the imagery becomes a lot less intimidating once you realize that they are inflatable decoys and not real war machines. A Ukrainian UAV spots Russian inflatable decoys of T-72 tanks. Decoys — whether they're inflatable, wooden knockoffs , or high-quality lookalikes — can be highly effective on the battlefield, de Bretton Gordon continued.

☆ Putin claimed the UK is ramping up nuclear tensions by sending Ukraine depleted uranium armor-piercing shells. The UK says that's nonsense.

The component: depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, which have no role in nuclear weaponry. Depleted uranium, a by-product of the nuclear enrichment process, is used in making penetrating tank shells because it is extremely dense. "There is no way that you could create a nuclear reaction or a nuclear explosion with depleted uranium." The UK MOD also cited research that it says shows the health risk of depleted uranium munitions is "likely to be low." Depleted uranium is much less radioactive than the original fuel.
