wdym random tech from the 80s? it’s literally high quality equipment, why Ukraine has been receiving funding? to combat Russia
Let’s see… Challenger 2s are from 1986, Storm Shadows 1994, F-16s 1974, Leopard 2s 1979, Abrams are from 1980, Humvees 1983, Bradleys 1981, M113 1960, the list goes on and on, and only for around 6 percent of the US military budget. Also, I seemed to have forgotten, what happened with Ukraine and Russia in 2014? Didn’t Russia illegally annex territory or something? I really can’t remember!
“only 6 percent” :skull: pffft i mean if it was 7 i would understand, but it’s only 6!! and everything you just listed is still used and operated by the US, it’s not like its some old run down equipment, its new equipment, made this decade.
What happened when the US illegally invaded iraq!?!?!?!1?
Well obviously it’s not run-down, because Western designed armaments tend to do what they’re designed for. Yes, they’re still being manufactured, but what’s being sent to Ukraine isn’t stuff right off the assembly line. Iraq isn’t relevant to this discussion at all.
If Iraq isn’t relevant then Russia “illegally annexing land in 2014” isn’t relevant to our conversation on aid to Ukraine.
I do not know why you are implying Russian armaments don’t do what they’re designed for.
>but what’s being sent to Ukraine isn’t stuff right off the assembly line
so what? if you said for yourself, that “Western designed armaments tend to do what they’re designed for” then it shouldn’t matter if they were made 20 years ago or not
and how do you know the military aid to Ukraine isn’t stuff right off the assembly line?
You said that the West has been arming Ukraine since 2014, which is true. This is because of Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
For one, the T-14 Armata is being used as artillery.
Things depreciate in value over time.
Because that would be silly.
I’m just going to assume that you have been trolling me this entire time. If so, you got me. If not, have a good night and a fun three-day special military operation.
