After Ukraine received American anti-tank complexes Javelin, the Russian occupation forces in the Donbass were in a situation where they have no analogues to the Armed Forces, the journalist and military expert Yury Butusov said in a comment to the Gordon publication.
"Javelin's supplies to Ukraine mean that the level of our defense capability has increased by an order of magnitude. For the first time we received weapons of a new generation, which has no analogues in Russia. It qualitatively surpasses any similar Russian technique. This gives us a tactical advantage and allows us to change the character of military operations in the Donbas, "he stressed..
According to Butusov, in the event of major breakthroughs or attempts by Russian troops to attack, they will be conducted in the open area by armored units.
"Having Javelin, you can destroy a huge number of Russian military equipment in a matter of minutes," the expert said..
In his opinion, the use by the Ukrainian side of Javelin will cause panic among Russian troops in the Donbass, since out of 10 shots nine are guaranteed to hit the target.
"The enemy will not even have time to understand what is happening. With a competent tactical application, such weapons level out any opportunities for Russian troops to quickly carry out major operations. This is a psychological weapon - any hit will cause the opponent to panic. Russian military equipment does not have protection from Javelin. Their tanks are predominantly of the past generation. For Javelin this is the optimal target, "the journalist stressed..
