Military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine use artillery on the battlefield much more professionally than the Russian military. And in general, Ukrainians are much more dexterous in maneuvering on the battlefield.. Mark Milley, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated this during a briefing following the results of the third meeting of the Contact Group on Defense of Ukraine in Brussels, Ukrinform reports..
“I will say this: the Ukrainian artillery, the skills of the Ukrainian artillery units are very, very good,” said Mark Milley. “Ukrainians are fighting in a very effective way, both in terms of tactics and firing, as well as maneuvers.”.
General Milli highly appreciated the level of mastery of Western weapons by Ukrainian artillerymen, in particular, M777 howitzers provided by the United States together with allies. “And we expect that they Ukrainians will also master the HIMARS system,” said the general.

According to Milley, the Russians are not effectively using their fire advantage on the battlefield.. “The Russians resort to chaotic fire, which does not always achieve an effect militarily,” Milli pointed out..
Recall, on June 14, US Deputy Secretary of Defense for Political Affairs Colin Kahl said that the four previously announced HIMMARS MLRS are just the beginning of the supply of jet systems and the Pentagon will provide them more. And the next day it became known that the United States would be transmitting intelligence to Ukraine to more effectively use advanced missile systems on the battlefield..
