Russia no longer has the opportunity to drop a landing force on Mykolaiv from the sky. This was announced by military expert Oleg Zhdanov on his YouTube channel.
Zhdanov stressed that the drop of troops from the sky on Mykolaiv is technically impossible today, since in all parts of the airborne forces of the Russian Federation there was a change in personnel due to losses.
“Moreover, the change in composition has been dramatic. And already those who are fighting today as part of the airborne troops, most of them, most likely, did not even jump, did not have the number of jumps, and did not even undergo pre-jump training,†Zhdanov explained.
At the same time, he noted that the Russians could have parachuted onto Gostomel, but they did not use this opportunity. "In Gostomel, that first landing force was landed precisely by landing from helicopters. The helicopter landed, landed, then the next one, and so they landed it in turn," the expert said.
“In Vasilkovo, but we need to clarify these data, they say that there was a parachute drop, but they made a mistake and threw it into the forest,†Zhdanov said.
According to the military expert, the lack of confidence in success and / or the low level of training prevented the landing.
"By the way, they (the Russian military) conducted exercises together with the Belarusian army" Allied Resolve ". Russian troops landed near the Suvalsky corridor, where the narrowest passage between Kaliningrad and Belarus, and as a result of their ejection, even two paratroopers crashed And two BMDs shattered to smithereens because when they dropped the equipment, the parachute systems did not open. Perhaps this was due to the poor quality of the parachute systems for the equipment and the low level of landing training, so as not to demoralize people that during the drop someone will break again, they don't use landing," he said.
