Russia's outdated weapons have proven to be no match for Ukrainian defences as the latest intelligence report from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) shows 55 percent of Russian forces have been wiped out in the Donbas region.
Ukrainian forces are gaining an advantage in the war against Russia thanks to new US-delivered artillery weapons that are lighter and more maneuverable in their defence against Russian offensives. The new weapons’ deliveries come as Ukraine is struggling to hold the line in the coveted, eastern Donbas region where Putin-led Russian forces have multiplied attacks over the last few weeks. The new technology allows them to fight more rapidly and with ease, according to James Longman’s ABC exclusive report.
Reporting to ABC viewers, Mr Longman said: "That is the M777 US-made howitzer. It is the long-range piece of artillery that Ukraine says is making so much difference to its war."
Walking away from the howitzer, Mr Longman continued: "Once you fire, you’ve got to move. And the beauty of this particular gun is that it’s lighter than anything the Russians have got.
"So, it can be moved out of position before the Russians reply. These weapons are the most advanced Ukraine now has in its arsenal."
In an interview with an artillery commander who was trained by the United States in Europe to use this type of equipment, Mr Longman reports that the commander says: "the howitzers are so lightweight and easy to move that the enemy can’t understand how we work so rapidly and open fire from the areas that are usually not suitable for artillery."
