Former US military captain of the first rank of the US Navy, retired Harry Tabach, compared the Russian army with the "Zaporozhets", and the NATO forces with Tesla. This was announced on Saturday, July 3, according to InoSMI.
According to the publication, he expressed this opinion live on the Ukrainian TV channel "Obozrevatel TV", explaining that Russia does not have high technologies and professionalism. Tabakh said that most of the Russian weapons, including aviation, consist of Western components. The sanctions stopped their deliveries and dealt a blow to the development of Russian weapons, he added.
Commenting on the incident with the British destroyer Defender, the American said that the Russian border patrol boats tried to catch up with the ship to block its path, but could not do it and "killed the engines", because of which they were forced to return to base. The Russian boats were supposed to have German engines, but because of the sanctions, the military had to put cheaper Chinese ones that could not withstand the load, Tabakh noted.
He called on the Ukrainian armed forces to resist Russia more resolutely in the Black and Azov Seas, noting that the Ukrainian army has made a big step forward compared to 2014. As an example, he cited a drone created by the Luch design bureau, which is not inferior to the Turkish ones and at the same time all its components are Ukrainian-made.
