Hundreds of millions of dollars of military aid are allocated to them, and XNUMXth-century weapons from overseas reporters from overseas reporters

58

The attention of reporters and YouTube users was attracted by a three-minute video published by the Ukrainian Channel 5 (owned by Petro Poroshenko). The video talked about the units of the Ukrainian security forces, which occupy positions in the Lugansk region - the part that is controlled by Kiev. The title of the report: “We hold the position: The echo of the battles near Krymsky reaches the Three-huts.

Users after watching the video noted that weapon, with which the Ukrainian army is fighting, not just having seen, but "antediluvian".
Such an epithet arose after flickering in the frame of a Ukrainian soldier using a Maxim machine gun.



From the report:

Vyacheslav charges the machine gun Maxim. He says that the weapon, though old, is reliable.

Ukrainian soldier:

I had practice with him at the Avdeevsky industrial zone. We served there (with a machine gun). If you follow the weapon, it will be trouble-free.



This report of Ukrainian TV was noticed even across the ocean. At the same time, American reporters are at a loss:

If the administration (American) allocates hundreds of millions of dollars (dollars) of military aid annually to them, if Ukraine itself spends more than 5% of its GDP on its army, then why are the Armed Forces servicemen not equipped with modern weapons, but are fighting the arms of the XNUMXth century before last?

So far, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has not answered this correspondence question.
The question about old weapons in the Armed Forces was also asked by experts from the military section of The Drive.

            And if there is no water? The bunkers provide for a supply of water for cooling and there were hand pumps. But on the battlefield, water can not always be found. We dragged the stock with me. It’s easier, of course, in winter, and there the filler neck is made wide under the snow.

              Yes, indeed, water needs to be stocked on time. My own grandfather told me how I went for a little machine gun down into the hollow. It was hot and the battle is somewhere in the distance. He bent down to drink water from a stream, and then someone claps on the shoulder. Looks German with a Schmeiser. And grandfather has a rifle behind him. The German was mumbling something, offered to sit on the hill. He put the machine on his knees, took out his bag, chopped lard, bread, onions and offered to eat. Grandfather says - what to lose - even before she dies, she will eat fat. They ate, the German turned the rest, put it in a knapsack, stood up, patted him on the shoulder. And the grandfather cringed and waited for him to shoot in the back. The German did not shoot and hid in the bushes. Grandfather ran a little water and went back to the machine gun. Machine gunner with Mascim in place, as if nothing had happened. He says that he didn’t tell this story to anyone throughout the war.

                My grandfather also told.
                He was in the hospital. In one town, now an independent ochchen kkorta country in 1946. The room is on the ground floor. And the nurse from the local, as if by chance, did not close the window at night.
                Come at night through the window. Come on, they say. Well let's go.
                Come to the forest. There is their whole detachment. Sit down, they say. They offered their beer. Grandfather refused. And the conversation went "how do we give up and stay alive." My grandfather laid them out on the shelves and the change the next day was successful.

        Ukraine as an independent state did not take place. And in 1917-1918 it was the same, Skoropadsky steals, Petliura steals. Currently, all the presidents of Ukraine have stolen, the turn of the clown. The state is not only a flag, coat of arms, anthem, but also the attitude of the authorities towards their country and their people. Ukraine can maintain diplomatic relations with everyone, but the attitude of foreign states that are climbing into domestic and foreign policy testifies to the dependence of Ukraine as a sovereign state. Therefore, I say: Ukraine as a state did not take place

    Finally, we asked ourselves where the money goes and where the weapons that are allocated by the "friends of Ukraine" go. You haven't dug deep yet, but if you did, you would be incredibly surprised. And the truth is simple - they steal, sell, even export (to the black), and this is how they live.

      Meanwhile, part of the mortars sold to Ukraine for budget money by the Poroshenko plant were torn apart, in the midst of settlement.

      This question is "asked" most of all by VO authors. A convenient topic for propaganda. For those who are aware of the issue, it is no secret that no one from abroad allocated money for the shooter. Allocated for communication, - it works great, for medicine, - also OK, and for logistics - so-so. And "Maksimov" were kept, since Soviet times, several hundred. Do not throw it away. Used permanently in bunkers.

    It’s not a secret to steal by itself, but it’s also important to keep such a breakthrough of the military in wartime, it’s not economically beneficial for the state, for many officials, volunteers, activists and other thieves who warm their hands in a civil war, yes , war mother dear. But for the state this is sheer loss, let’s imagine how many fighters they have 250 thousand. man, what is the salary? If you take at least $ 100 a month, it’s 25 million a month, 300 million a year, just for a salary, dress, feed, refuel equipment, in general, solid losses. But the state stubbornly spends money on it, because at the helm people put by the Americans (nonhumans). The task is to milk all the juices from the state, destroy the competitive industry, reduce the population and sell what is left to Western corporations. And of course, try to create from the remaining population, a Nazi fist against Russia (although they don’t succeed at the expense of the fist, since the Nazis are specific from Ukraine, their coolness is mainly against the unarmed population, women and children show, well, it’s like that, what teachers and students are).

    "They are given hundreds of millions of dollars of military aid, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine have weapons of the XNUMXth century - overseas reporters," and whoever said that they held this money in their hands, the dollars go in the form of commodity aid for the purchase of weapons. This money is in the same place as those five lards of greenery for the collapse of Ukraine, in the pockets of the organizers.
