Western-made armor is failing in Ukraine because it wasn’t designed to sustain a conflict of this intensity, a military analyst told The Wall Street Journal.
Taras Chmut, a military analyst who’s the head of the Come Back Alive Foundation, which has raised money to purchase and provide arms and equipment to Ukraine, said that “a lot of Western armor doesn’t work here because it had been created not for an all-out war but for conflicts of low or medium intensity.”
“If you throw it into a mass offensive, it just doesn’t perform,” he said.
Chmut went on to say Ukraine’s Western allies should instead turn their attention to delivering simpler and cheaper systems, but in larger quantities, something Ukraine has repeatedly requested, the newspaper reported.
Cries of “whataboutism” were silly when those cries were used to justify British imperialism in Ireland and they’re silly now.
Why are we bringing this up? What does this have to do with the 100% Geneva Convention Violation warcrime run Russia has been doing in Ukraine for over a year at this point?
Yes, I am glad we agree you’re a shithead.
Shithead, maybe, rightwing… I don’t think I really need to defend myself from this point. It’s hilarious how out of touch you are.
They’ve killed millions of people in West Asia over the last two decades. Most women in the military experience some form of sexual violence, and those women are on their team.
War is hell comrade. Go ahead and post some numbers about Russia’s record on those items before you point a finger at the US. Before you yell whataboutism, remember that the topic in this conversation was the warcrime that Russia is currently commiting.
Lmao, baselessly accusing me of being a paid actor while accusing me of bad faith.
There is a lot more evidence of you being a Russian warcrime apologist than there is of me being a right-winger :)
