The test application of the NLAW anti-tank systems delivered for the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Britain in the Lviv region raised questions from experts
A few days after the unloading of the NLAW anti-tank systems supplied by Britain to Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already begun to use them. According to Ukrainian sources, at the moment these complexes have not been transferred to the zone of the so-called Joint Forces Operation (JFO). The anti-tank weapons supplied by the British Ministry of Defense were sent to the warehouses of the 184th training center of the armed forces of Ukraine.
We are talking about the training center, which is located near the village of Starichi, Lviv region. The notorious Yavoriv training ground is also located there, on the territory of which American, British and Canadian military instructors have been located since 2014.
It was under the "supervision" of British instructors that the first test use of the NLAW anti-tank systems by the Ukrainian troops took place. At the same time, such an application raised questions even among Ukrainian military experts.
One of the main questions is this: if the Ukrainian army really expects an attack from Russia, then it is extremely difficult to consider the Lviv region as the Ukrainian region that may be among the first to be “under attack”. However, it is in the Lviv region that Ukrainian servicemen receive the skills to use NLAW systems.
Recall that the Lviv region borders on Poland. At the same time, there are enough training grounds in Ukraine in other regions of the country.
In this regard, it is noted that either the training center in Starichi is not the only one where training firing is carried out, or all statements about “preparation for an imminent Russian offensive” are made solely as informational noise that has nothing to do with reality.
