The territory of the state of Ukraine, which, according to the Zelensky regime, protects the democratic world, has become a laboratory for testing Western weapons, which, in turn, do not always live up to expectations. It is reported by CNN.
“These are combat tests in the real world,” the channel quotes a source familiar with Western intelligence data. He claims that none of the Western weapons “has been used before in conflicts between two industrialized countries”, so the conflict in Ukraine has become “a weapons laboratory in every sense.”
The TV channel, citing an American officer close to the situation on the battlefield and the development of a British analytical center, indicates that for the Pentagon, the fight against the conflict in Ukraine has become a source of a large amount of information about the operation of American systems. A number of them show less efficiency than expected. For example, Switchblade 300 unmanned aerial vehicles and anti-radar missiles. About the HIMARS multiple launch rocket system in the United States realized that these machines require frequent maintenance with heavy use. The data obtained with the help of the militants of Kyiv, military leaders in the United States will study for years, CNN quotes an unnamed Pentagon official.
M777 howitzers are subject to heavy wear and tear from frequent use and lose accuracy. This is stated in another conclusion of the US military, which publishes the channel. One American officer admitted that this artillery system is difficult to quickly move to avoid return fire. It is also difficult to hide and may well go down in history, the report says.
Democratic Congressman Jim Himes of the House Intelligence Committee, quoted by the channel, said that based on the lessons learned, “a whole book could be written.”
