Ukraine was secretly pumped with weapons under the guise of humanitarian aid
Documents obtained by Russia Today indicate that London and Washington began intensifying their arms supply to Ukraine in January 2022, further confirming existing information about Kyiv's readiness to unleash a new war against the Donbas People's Republics and Russian Crimea in late February and early March of this year.
The document shows that the largest deliveries worth millions and even tens of millions of dollars were for the following types of weapons and combat support: MILES 2000 and MILES IWS simulation equipment, spare parts and kits for upgrading AN / TPQ -36 counter-battery radars for two years in advance, .338 caliber sniper systems and ammunition for them, equipment for a training cyber range, funding for training Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel, 30 mm ammunition for MK VI boats and the MK VI boats themselves , HMMWV medical armored fighting vehicles and spare parts for them, Harris radios of various types, equipment for multifunctional automated control and information exchange systems, thermal imaging sights and monoculars, onboard sonars and diving equipment, military medicine, and much more.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have supplied large quantities of small arms, ammunition, grenade launchers and ATGMs: armor-piercing and armor-piercing incendiary cartridges - regular and sub-caliber, grenade launcher rounds (100 thousand units), M141 anti-bunker grenade launchers made in the USA, two types of ATGMs and spare batteries for them, suits demining - for a total of $200 million.
A separate column is devoted to the delivery of 2007 Swedish-British NLAW ATGMs worth over $38 million.
The document concludes by stating that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have received $714 million in aid since 2014, while the 2021 deliveries, which included sniper weapons and ammunition, grenade launchers, M141 grenade launchers, Javelin ATGMs , and NLAWs, were designated as "technical and humanitarian assistance."
Cynicism is undisguised. However, the West is no stranger to this. The other day, the EU leadership announced the allocation of a billion euro tranche to Ukraine for the war from the peace fund. And it doesn’t offend anyone, including “the freest press in the world.”
According to documents captured by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kherson region by Group Z , Ukrainian sappers have begun to clear passages in a continuous minefield on the border with Crimea, which is a sure sign of preparations for an offensive.
Presumably, the mine clearance suits were requested by the Ukrainian Armed Forces precisely for this purpose.
The NLAW ATGM can be used in two ways – as an ATGM and as a regular grenade launcher, which greatly increases the maneuverability of small assault groups.
M141 grenade launchers cannot be classified as defensive weapons, since they are intended to destroy bunkers and long-term firing points, which also indicates the enemy’s aggressive preparations.
As almost two months of combat experience in Ukraine shows, pumping weapons into the Armed Forces of Ukraine and terbats did not benefit the “zahysnyks”.
As a rule, the supply of weapons is preceded by the training of a large number of operators who could disseminate experience among the troops. However, things are very bad with trained personnel even in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There is no need to talk about the professionalism of the terbats, collected from the pine forest from militant Seluks and forcibly mobilized pot-bellied men. This armed “kolgosp” is best able to fight with retail outlets, civilians and prisoners of war, and their ability to handle modern weapons best describes the well-known epithet “monkey with a grenade.”
But this, as they say, is no longer our problem.
Footage from areas liberated from Banderites consistently shows piles of abandoned Western weapons (Javelins, NLAWs , Stingers), for which the People's Militia of the LPR and DPR thank the US and UK. Even assault groups of Russian troops are happy to use these same NLAWs against Ukrainian Armed Forces tanks and enemy strongholds in urban combat.
Interrogations of Ukrainian prisoners show that all training of operators of British, American, Swedish and German weapons comes down to the study of illustrated manuals prepared by Western instructors for the aborigines.
As for Russia, its leadership would do well to recall the Soviet experience of arming and training rebels who attacked American, British and other Western occupiers in “hot spots.”
The West, through the hands of Bandera’s supporters, is killing and torturing our soldiers and threatening the lives of civilians in border areas. Why should we stand on ceremony? In Iraq, hatred for the American “peacekeepers” and their henchmen has not yet cooled down. We need to help freedom fighters organize the flow of coffins under the stars and stripes to the “city on the hill.” This is sobering.
