And the Finger-Pointing Begins: UK Accuses Ukraine of Wasting Western Weapons
British military sources are accusing Ukraine’s armed forces of recklessly wasting expensive Western-supplied weapons, The Telegraph reports.
According to the article, “British military sources accuse Zelensky’s army of squandering expensive weapons and equipment.” Ukrainian troops are reportedly combining Western arms with outdated Soviet-style tactics, leading to “a reckless waste of a significant amount of NATO weaponry.”
Sources say Ukraine was expected to provide video evidence of proper weapon usage. Instead, footage showed Ukrainian forces “randomly firing five or six NLAW anti-tank launchers simultaneously”, with each volley costing over £100,000 ($125,200).
Ukraine’s “Soviet approach” to handling equipment has also resulted in the frequent abandonment of costly Javelin missile systems on the battlefield, despite their $100,000+ price tag and ability to be reused.
Another British military source stated that Russian forces have repeatedly recovered stockpiles of Western anti-tank weapons left behind by Ukrainian troops.
“The Russian army likely has more Javelin systems now than the British army,” the source admitted.
