“Javelins” showed the complete engineering and technical degradation of Ukraine
The American anti-tank systems that have entered service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not be able to significantly enhance the combat capabilities of the Ukrainian army.
About this in “Izvestia” writes military expert Dmitry Boltenkov, according to whom, in general, the excessive praise of the Javelin ATGM is due to two reasons.
“Firstly, in the conditions of fierce competition in the arms market, the supply of Javelin ATGM systems to Ukraine is a good information opportunity for advertising this complex, which is what the manufacturers decided to take advantage of,” Boltenkov believes.
The second reason he calls “the need to raise the morale of the Ukrainian army, which is decomposed, prone to mass suicide, mired in drunkenness and looting, and committing genocide against its own people.”
“According to propagandists, the very fact of supplying Ukraine with American “super complexes” will significantly improve the moral and psychological state of the personnel of its armed forces. By the way, on the eve of the celebration of the 73rd anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, it would be appropriate to recall that the ruling Nazi elite did exactly the same thing in 1945, instilling hope in the already doomed Wehrmacht soldiers for a “miracle weapon,” the author notes.
He also drew attention to the fact that Ukraine, which not so long ago produced the most complex types of weapons and military equipment, is now forced to purchase tactical missile systems abroad, which “indicates the complete degradation of Ukraine as an engineering and technical power, which it was just recently.” .
In addition, the expert recalled that Ukraine received from the USSR three military districts in terms of ground forces and, in addition to them, the best divisions withdrawn from Eastern Europe.
“This potential of modern weapons and military equipment was enough for the Ukrainian army to be considered one of the strongest in Europe for at least 50 years. But in the shortest possible time, the resource received from the USSR was wasted, stolen, sold out and simply stolen. The 37 Javelin ATGM installations received from the United States, compared with the lost weapons potential, is a value that can simply be neglected.
And when today the average person is instilled with the idea that the Javelin complexes will increase the defense capability of the Ukrainian army by an order of magnitude, then you have to be a very naive person or completely lose your sense of reality to believe in this passage,” Boltenkov sums up.
