Oscar Jonsson, PhD in Russian warfare and researcher at the Norwegian Defense Academy, explains how new tanks, anti-aircraft systems and artillery can affect the war in Ukraine right now.
– There is a dilemma here for the Ukrainian forces.
– An alternative is to put air defenses around the cities to protect the civilian population and the energy infrastructure. But you also need them on the front lines to protect the troops there and keep the Russian Air Force at bay. Because if you don’t have a threat against them, the Russian air force can hit very hard against the Ukrainian counter-offensive, says Oscar Jonsson.
