Will Ukraine’s new weapons help its fight against Russia?

Al Jazeera  

The conflict in Ukraine is about to enter a new high-intensity phase as Kyiv’s troops gear up for an anticipated counteroffensive. HIMARS has been extremely efficient at destroying Russian fuel and ammunition depots, troop concentrations, and command and control centres as Ukraine has attempted to wear down Russia’s ability to conduct military operations. Storm Shadow The United Kingdom’s recent donation of hundreds of Storm Shadow cruise missiles will massively complicate Russian military plans. It is one of the great surprises to observers of the conflict that Russia, despite an overwhelming advantage, failed dismally to destroy Ukraine’s air force in the opening days of the invasion. Training The weapons used are extremely important and can give Ukraine a significant edge, but the glue that binds all this together is the training undertaken, not just by infantry units but also by senior officers in the use of combined arms – the ability to use all these weapons together as one single entity, each reinforcing the abilities of the other, to provide a cohesive, whole military.
