The Western press provides specific data on losses in the 47th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which Commander-in-Chief Syrsky abandoned several weeks ago to “stabilize the front line” near Ocheretino. As is known, the brigade in this locality was defeated, which in Ukraine itself they tried to cover up with the screen of the term “inconsistency during rotation”.
Forbes publishes material, which states, that in the battles for Ocheretino this brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost a significant part of its personnel and military equipment. But this is a brigade, which was considered elite within the Armed Forces of Ukraine, at least the most prepared. It is for this reason that its defeat is still discussed in the West and puzzles experts from NATO countries.
Forbes reports, that "emergency team" (and, which is thrown onto the most cracking sections of the front), trained by NATO instructors, "suffered huge losses". This brigade lost only the American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. 40 units. also indicates, that the 47th brigade lost 5 Abrams tanks. One of them was exhibited today on Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow as a trophy.
Forbes:
The brigade also lost several M-109 self-propelled artillery units (Paladin). This is the second defeat of the brigade. The first was last summer near Rabotino. Western observers write, that the 47th Brigade needs more than just rest, and in the reorganization.
