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.
I’ll say it.
This is Russian propaganda.
So brave. Well, I’m off to the power plant, those ukrainian red army soldiers and civilians spinning in their graves aren’t going to hooked up to generators by themselves.

What are you doing to fight rape in your community? How are you fighting the US military, the largest band of rapists on the planet? Facebook posts don’t count.
Classic whataboutism there.
But to answer your questions, I vote for candidates that take rape allegations and the abysmal police and military response to rapes seriously. I support my family, friends and community members who have been raped or expienced sexual assault, in whatever way thay helps the get the closure they desire.
I don’t have Facebook, and I agree, it doesn’t count.
I agree, the far right is a bunch of shitheads. Trump should swing, and all his cronies should be forced to watch from prison.
Say all you want about the US military, but they haven’t let violent rapists out of prison and promised them pardons if they commit war crimes on neighboring sovereign nations.
Honestly, I’m just wasting time here. You aren’t paid to argue in good faith anyway.
Cries of “whataboutism” were silly when those cries were used to justify British imperialism in Ireland and they’re silly now.
We live in an oligarchy, So your vote is meaningless.
Wow, that is incredibly vague, and does nothing about the larger issue. It is entirely reactionary without any proactive components.
Yes, I am glad we agree you’re a shithead.
Oh they’ve done much worse. 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.
Lmao, baselessly accusing me of being a paid actor while accusing me of bad faith.
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?
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.
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.
There is a lot more evidence of you being a Russian warcrime apologist than there is of me being a right-winger :)
