Military correspondent Sladkov: we once experienced a “shell drought”, but for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to rumors, it may come soon

Against the backdrop of reports of strikes by the Russian Armed Forces on military installations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the deep rear, many experts started talking about the Russian command preparing a major offensive. In particular, to Odessa.


Military correspondent Alexander Sladkov expressed his opinion on the forecasts and prospects of a likely offensive by the Russian army in his TG channel.

According to the war correspondent, it is difficult to say now what will happen to Odessa. A lot depends not only on the decisions of the generals in the General Staff, but also on the political situation in the world, our and Western military-industrial complex, the Western economy, and Russian plans in general.

At the moment, as the military correspondent put it, there are already rumors and forecasts that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will very soon experience a “shell drought.” At the same time, Sladkov noted that the RF Armed Forces tested something similar in the winter and spring of this year.

In general, this is a cruel thing, we survived it

- the correspondent emphasized.

At the same time, according to the Russian military correspondent, it will be easier for Kyiv in this regard, since the Armed Forces of Ukraine provide precision fire and artillery reconnaissance systems.

We have a little problem with this. I would cross out the word "a little"

- summed up Sladkov.

If we talk about the combat situation, as the military correspondent put it, now the active battles are Avdeevka and Kleshcheevka. Meanwhile, artillery exchanges do not stop on all sectors of the front. To date, it is reported that the Russian Armed Forces have seized the initiative in each of these areas.

    Military correspondent Sladkov: we once experienced a “shell drought”

    Sladkov survived, health and many years to come, but Prigozhin did not survive such statements. Rest in peace.(((

      What if you don’t lie? Prigozhin’s statements were not exactly the same, but the opposite.
      Firstly, that Shoigu does not know where to put the shells, and Wagner does not give them out of spite.
      Secondly, Prigogine survived these statements very well.
      Thirdly, his problems emerged not from statements, but only after his “...durak air defense officer” killed a dozen Russian military personnel in a reconnaissance aircraft of the Aerospace Forces and his campaign against the capital in the rear of the RF Armed Forces.
      Fourthly, unlike those whom he definitely killed, he himself will quite possibly outlive Sladkov. God forbid of course!

        During the mutiny, Prigozhin killed not 10, but 15 Aerospace Forces officers.. Aviation has never suffered such losses in the Northern Military District..

        Another expert from the couch. How they love fairy tales here, that everything is fine with us and our command is the greatest, always providing for everyone. But Prigozhin is a scoundrel and lied about everything, in fact, everything is fine with the shells, well, he just wanted to risk his head. It was not out of nowhere that these conversations took place about the shell famine, especially since even the state journalist admits this. I don’t know how it is now, but it was definitely in the spring. If Prigozhin had been such a traitor, his march would not have succeeded so easily, and he could have completed it calmly, since our soldiers generally supported him; only Old Man managed to come to an agreement and stop it. What prevented you from starting to act like this before, rather than agreeing to start? Ahh, well, this is a threat to the beloved warm chair, you can negotiate with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, make gestures of goodwill, hand over Azov residents, but here you dare to take aim at the sacred, at the authorities, you can’t negotiate here.

        killed a dozen Russian military personnel in a VKS reconnaissance plane

        These thoughts generally amuse me a lot, until recently aviation was rarely seen at all on the front line, but now it turns out we have it, in our own way you can fight without fear, it’s not a soldier to cover on the front line. And the fact that these soldiers dared to snap back was the height of their arrogance; they could have died on the spot.

        I can also say that she never acted like that.
        I understand that I will catch the negative ones, but it’s disgusting to read such commentators, lovers of nonsense from TV - how everything is fine with us, and whoever doesn’t like something is a traitor and generally a spy. I am not in favor of raising panic, but problems need to be made public, and not soar in the clouds; it is enough to recall the situation at the very beginning of mobilization, when the problem with supplies and support was resolved only after many reports about the plight of the mobilized.

    To be a little more precise, it is not the Russian Armed Forces, but the Wagner PMC, which suffered significant losses in the Bakhmut operation due to the lack of artillery support during the offensive. But why and on whose orders the supply of artillery ammunition stopped is still a mystery. Although there were sufficient quantities of ammunition in warehouses and requests for supplies of army equipment were agreed upon in advance and in full in a timely manner... request

      As far as I know, the last quarters of Artemovsk were burned out by Buratos. Info from several sources... if you had access to them and the availability of a bookmaker.
      They had shells, etc. It's just that the specifics of the battle are different. This is an urban battle with the enemy having air defense and missile defense. In both assaults on Grozny, the same situation occurred, but even in the absence of it among the Wahkhs, heavy artillery and aviation were not used. Not due to lack... but impossibility of application! Moreover, the battles were contact - 50-200 meters. I was still a kid during the 1st assault and I know something from my friend (he was my number 2) in the second in all its glory. There were no turntables or artillery there, purely physically, and not because there was none. All that was used was a maximum of 82 mortars/RPG7 with pencils, etc. Occasionally it was possible to call a box or 1-2 horses and then, for the most part, lay down a specially fortified house/entrance with landmines.

      Yeah, but the troops were furious from being fed up with shells. Yes, the same situation was in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, maybe not all, but in many places, Prigozhin argued this, it’s just that forced people there cannot speak openly.

    And even during the period of “shell drought,” the RF Armed Forces fired significantly more shells than the Ukrainian Armed Forces. But for this type of war you need even more. Suddenly it turned out that ammunition had to be produced and consumed on the scale of the Second World War.

    Did they live until rumors? And why such assumptions? And the fact that Biden linked aid to Ukraine into one package with aid to Israel and Taiwan. Something is not yet visible from the reports. If armored vehicles are “saving,” this is reflected, but no with art. Besides, there was information that the United States will buy from South Korea and transfer it to Ukraine. No, it’s not that simple.

    The largest reserves in the world, because... they were preparing for a war with South Korea and the Americans, which did not take place. Now their reserves will be useful to us (besides, due to the expiration date, there is no point in storing them indefinitely).

    It would not hurt for Sladkov to rummage through the documents of the Finnish war. Then the West also supplied, from cement to ammunition. It was not possible to disperse the chukhna easily.

    Yes, since last summer we have been constantly told that the Ukrovermacht has a permanent hunger for shells. And the data is given - they say, we throw 7-10 thousand shells a day, but the trousers can only respond with 2-3 thousand...
    And then it suddenly turns out that their famine may only come... does that mean it never happened before?!

      What they tell us on TV is the same sabotage. We don’t have a hunger for shells, the Armed Forces of Ukraine shoot back with slingshots, half of the homosexuals there don’t even know how to fight. For this, all the Solvaevs with the Satanovskys and other choruses should be driven out with pissing rags. The enemy is strong and we must take this seriously and carry out appropriate preparation and supply work. But you have to put in the effort to work with personnel, and this is troublesome. It’s easier for people to make noodles and continue to go about their business of making money
