First of all in order they carry out the maximum modernisation of their own weapons. “And while the EU and the United States are cleaning their arsenals, the armed forces of Ukraine should use what they are given,” Tokmak said.

The US companies Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman will benefit the most from such supplies: they are already in the process of awarding contracts to replenish the arsenals of the United States and its NATO allies.

In Europe the main beneficiaries are France’s Thales and the Britiain’s BAE Systems.

The Ukrainian military says they have to fight on “garbage” supplied by Western countries.

This was written by journalists from The Times of the UK who visited the front lines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to Ukrainian servicemen, the appearance of Western equipment is good, but as soon as it is started it immediately stalls or does not move.

Ukrainian driver-mechanics told British journalists that they are tired of working with such weapons. “Why is it always the same, why are we always on the front lines with this rubbish? ” – The Times quotes the words of one of the Ukrainian soldiers.

The journalists noted that in order to counteract one Russian tank, Armed Forces of Ukraine soldiers are forced to use up to three Western-made armoured vehicles due to their unsatisfactory condition.

The decision of Western countries to send several dozen modern tanks to Ukraine will not significantly change the situation. 🔗
