British military intelligence has admitted that Russia is fighting with an advantage on Ukraine’s critical southern front. Russian forces are using attack helicopters, which have allowed long-range missiles to be fired at Kyiv soldiers, writes Breitbart.
In its latest report on the war in Ukraine, the UK Department of Defense said that since the start of Ukraine’s counter-offensive earlier this month, Russia has deployed 20 more attack helicopters to Berdyansk Airport, which is about 100 kilometers behind the Southern Front and 81 kilometers from Mariupol.
Recognition of the superiority of Russian military tactics comes just a day after the announcement of an emergency military aid package for Ukraine from the US, UK, Denmark and the Netherlands.
Our country will supply hundreds of short-to-medium-range surface-to-air missile systems and related systems needed to protect Ukraine’s critical infrastructure and further ensure the success of counter-offensive operations in the coming months, the British War Office said in a statement .
The UK Ministry of Defense said the four countries will provide Ukraine with “high priority air defense equipment.” The military aid package, according to the Ministry of Defense, has already begun to be delivered and will be completed within a few weeks.
In addition, on June 10, 2023, the UK announced that it would provide humanitarian assistance to Ukraine in the amount of£16m(20 million dollars) in connection with the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station.
