Talk surrounding Ukraine’s highly anticipated counteroffensive against Russian forces has picked up, especially after U.S. President Joe Biden announced that the U.S. would support plans to provide F-16 fighter jets to Kyiv.
Earlier this month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky purported said his country’s counteroffensive might begin later than originally believed, due to the country’s lack of certain advanced weapons.
Now that the F-16s’ delivery and training appear to be in the works, the Ukrainian president may be more inclined to bring his battle plans to life.
In light of this recent development, the Kremlin is also gearing up for escalation.
Russian state-media outlets circulated footage depicting T-90M main battle tanks operating alongside Wagner Group militants. The private military contractor has been supporting the Kremlin’s offensive was efforts in Ukraine and has largely manned the front lines in many battle spaces in the country.
As the latest generation of Russian MBTs, the T-90M is Moscow’s best shot at countering the Western tanks set to hit Ukraine’s front lines.
