Why it’s taking months for Western battle tanks to make it to the front lines in Ukraine​

Six Leopard 2 tanks left Spain and are set to reach Ukraine in less than a week, Spanish Minister of Defense Margarita Robles said this weekend. The United States, meanwhile, will start trainingUkrainian forces on its Abrams tanks next month, seeking to get them on the battlefield against Russia before the end of the summer.

But even with shipments and training underway, the fighting vehicles donated by NATO allies to Ukraine will not have an immediate impact on its war with Russia, experts warn.

Steep learning curve:
Modern main battle tanks are complicated pieces of weaponry. Looking formidable and rugged on the outside, much of their effectiveness on the battlefield comes down to sophisticated electronic and computer systems at their core.

Those systems find targets and train the tank’s main gun on them.
Maintaining the tanks, repairing them and supplying the parts necessary requires detailed training all the way from the crews in the vehicles to the logistics trail supporting them, hundreds or maybe thousands of miles from the front lines in eastern Ukraine.

“I would say the ability to train Ukrainian soldiers to support any tanks they are given is almost more important than the type of tank they use,” said Nicholas Drummond, a defense industry analyst specializing in land warfare and a former British Army officer.

Logistical challenges:

In addition to the time needed to train fighters, the tanks need to be maintained, officials said, which means managing the supply chain.

Because the Abrams is American-made, for example, it has “a very long logistics tail stretching back to the US,” said Drew Thompson, visiting senior research fellow at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore.

Key components that wear out or are damaged in battle will need to be replaced with US parts, which would have to be sent to a repair depot in Ukraine or possibly Poland, which is in the process of acquiring its own fleet of Abrams.

Thompson said the Pentagon is good at solving difficult logistical issues, “but the risk is high to both the US and Ukraine.”

“Being able to support Leopards from a European logistics base is definitely preferable,” Thompson said, referring to the model of tanks employed in 13 European countries.

The sheer number of Leopards available makes the support process easier, according to Drummond, who is an adviser to the manufacturer of the German tanks. More than 4,000 of the tanks are in service, and that means “spare parts are readily available from multiple sources,” he said.
 

Son of Kremlin spokesperson claims he served with Wagner Russian mercenary force​

From CNN's Darya Tarasova and Lauren Kent

The son of Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, Nikolai Peskov, claims he served in Russia's Wagner mercenary force in Ukraine.

"I considered it my duty ... I couldn't sit on the sidelines and watch friends and other people go there," Peskov said in an interview with Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda. "When I went there, I had to change my last name. Nobody really knew who I was."

He said he served for nearly six months and received the Medal for Courage.

CNN could not independently verify the claims.

Why it's notable: Children of government figures and Russia's elite have received criticism in the past for failing to fight in Ukraine or go to the front lines.

More background: Nikolai Peskov's interview comes after the leader of Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said Friday that the Kremlin spokesperson's son had served as a gunner with his mercenary force.

Prigozhin did not specify what period of time he was talking about.

According to Prigozhin, Nikolai Peskov served with the Wagner Group for six months under false documents with a different last name, working as a loader of an ammunition supply vehicle. The Wagner chief said Peskov attended a three-week training at their base in Molkino and later "left for Luhansk."

The outspoken Wagner boss has a track record of making unsubstantiated claims, often employing sarcasm, and CNN is unable to verify his claim.

CNN has reached out to Dmitry Peskov for comment but is yet to receive a response.
 
Taarifa ya leo asubuhi huko Bukhmut .

"Strong reinforcements have arrived!
In Bakhmut there are currently only 3 fortified areas left for UA. The large garage complex, high rise buildings and Olympic School complex to the NW.
During the last few days Wagner has made preparations to attack (perhaps even bypass) these areas in a targeted and tactical manner. Time will tell.
But according to current information that I have, the artillery and aviation have been working for a few hours so strongly and enormously as they have not done so far in Bakhmut. Not a minute goes by without grenades flying at UA positions. Preparations for the final shots are underground. Have a little patience, very soon Bakhmut will become Artemovsk." 🤙
