According to the report, Russian soldiers in Ukraine are unhappy that they are forced to fight with old infantry fighting vehicles, which they call aluminium cans.
“In mid-October, in the face of Ukrainian offensives, Russian armoured vehicles losses increased to over 40 a day: roughly equivalent to a battalion’s worth of equipment,” says the British Ministry of Defence.
According to British Intelligence, in recent weeks Russia has received at least 100 additional tanks and infantry fighting vehicles from the Belarusian side.
“Armoured units and artillery are central to Russia’s way of war; the force in Ukraine is now struggling partially due to difficulties in sourcing both artillery ammunition and sufficient serviceable replacement armoured vehicles,” concluded British Intelligence.
