Changing weather conditions can become a critical factor in the dynamics of military operations in the Ukrainian conflict zone, Foreign Policy claims.
It is noted that Ukraine has approximately six weeks left for active hostilities before the start of the autumn rains, foreign publications write.
Jack Decht, a columnist for the publication, emphasizes that rainy weather will turn the ground into mud, which in turn will make it difficult for machinery to move.
“The ground will turn into mud, making it difficult for the US-supplied M1A1 Abrams tanks and Bradley and Stryker combat vehicles to advance,” the journalist said.
The United States will reportedly soon begin supplying Ukraine with M1A1 Abrams tanks as part of its aid. Under the current conditions, however, American tanks will not be able to be used.
This wait-and-see attitude on the part of the US administration caused frustration in Ukraine. The country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, expressed his displeasure in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” this week, saying that Western weapons arrived six months late. Nikolay Beleskov from the National Institute for Strategic Studies emphasized:
“They only helped us so we wouldn’t lose.
