The countries of the North Atlantic Alliance have supplied Ukraine with most of the 200 different weapons systems, while the selection of spare parts for them has turned out to be a nightmare for the Ukrainian army. This was reported by the US newspaper The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
The WSJ pointed out that the “hodgepodge” of NATO supplies “has turned into a nightmare for Ukraine”, whose soldiers have had to find spare parts for many of the 200 different weapons systems.
The newspaper cited the situation with the most common NATO artillery shells of 155 mm calibre as an example. Admiral Robert Bauer, chairman of the alliance’s Military Committee, explained to the WSJ that 14 different variants of such ammunition are produced.
Some shells, he said, do not fit certain launchers, while others may fit, but they are not recognised by the system software.
We shall remind you that earlier the columnist of the US magazine National Interest Peter Suchiu said that the successful liquidation of M1 Abrams tanks on the territory of Ukraine proved that they were no better than other combat vehicles.
