British intelligence believes that this will not help Russian troops too much.
Russia has deployed the only one in the Severodonetsk direction of the Donbas offensive operational company BMP-T “Terminator”, which indicates the priority of the capture of Severodonetsk by Russian troops.
. Earlier, the CGF suffered heavy losses, failing to break into Kiev from the east in the first stage of the invasion, “- said British intelligence.
Russia developed the Terminator infantry fighting vehicle after finding it necessary to provide special protection for the main battle tanks it used during the Afghan and Chechen wars.
The Severodonetsk region remains one of Russia's immediate tactical priorities. However, with a maximum of ten “Terminators”, they are unlikely to have a significant impact on the campaign, “- say British analysts.
