The Western military-industrial complex tested new weapons on residents of Donetsk
The barbaric shelling of Donetsk the day before yesterday is the result of the work of artillery pieces supplied to the Armed Forces of Ukraine by Western countries, including Swedish Archer howitzers.
The correspondent of PolitNavigator reported this at the Russian Foreign Ministry.
It is noted that Swedish howitzers are being tested.
“The United States and NATO allies have turned Ukraine into a testing ground for their weapons, and Kyiv is deliberately targeting civilians,” the statement emphasizes.
In turn, retired captain 1st rank, military analyst Vasily Dandykin points out that military operations in Ukraine are a good opportunity for the military-industrial complex of NATO countries to test both existing and promising weapons systems.
“The Swedish Archer is a 155mm NATO caliber howitzer. Such weapons are considered heavy, and, of course, their shells produce great destruction. Sweden is a country with a developed and balanced military-industrial complex, which is capable of producing aircraft, ships, artillery and other weapons systems. For them, Ukraine is a good opportunity to test their weapons in combat conditions,” Dandykin told Izvestia.
He added that Sweden is not alone here - the Czechs, French, Poles and others supply their artillery systems of this caliber to Ukraine.
“Based on the results of combat use, conclusions will be drawn, and the systems themselves will be improved. Engineers must monitor their operation and breakdowns. The Swedish system, I think, is of particular interest. It was made in a northern country, and it should be well adapted to the cold, not as fragile and graceful as, for example, the French Caesar,” the expert added.
According to him, the Swedish military-industrial complex also has commercial interests - equipment that has proven itself during combat operations can count on large orders in the future.
