Brian Perlitek, a former independent geopolitical researcher and writer for the U.S. Marine Corps, shared his views on Russian weapons that have proven to be the most effective on the battlefield. The researcher ranked the ranking of the 5 most important and influential Russian weapons in its own operation in Ukraine: "Pantsir-S1"The American military expert said: "The Pantsir S1 missile system is a mobile platform that provides air defense," adding: "During the military operation we saw that it intercepts drones, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and even guided missiles of the "Hemars" model.Describing this as a testament to Russia's air defense capabilities, which Western analysts have recognized as the best in the world."Lancet drones" The expert described that the munitions used on these aircraft constituted a revolution in drone warfare, and are capable of destroying everything from artillery and tank positions to air defense systems and radar devices.The expert pointed out that the ability of aircraft to fly long distances contributes to reducing the enemy's area in addition to not endangering soldiers and equipment.T-90 tankThe expert pointed out that Russia has always been world-famous for manufacturing tanks, whether it was the T-34 during World War II or tanks. Describing the T-90M tank as the top Russian armor tested in battle, the T-90M tank is capable of detecting targets and hitting them day or night and has a firing range of up to 4 kilometers (5 kilometers in the case of using an anti-tank guided missile launched from a tank). Berlitek noted that "unlike the U.S. Apache attack helicopters that made their name in Iraq against inadequately trained and poorly equipped forces, the Russian KA-52 attack helicopter operates in a modern combat environment unlike anything U.S. forces have ever worked in." The enemy was at a distance, which reduced Russian losses. Russian artillery has also prevented adversaries from approaching Russian positions at great cost to the enemy.Russia has invested in this area over decades to become more important and powerful."Russia's superiority in artillery has not only created tactical and strategic advantages for Russia on the battlefield, but a position of geopolitical power due to the collective inability of the West to match the power of Russian artillery fire," he said. Given that Russia possesses first-class weapons in all areas of warfare, the state's concerted military efforts provide effective offensive and defensive operations on the battlefield.
