The US press quotes a sergeant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: We were given a foreign laser rangefinder, but no one knows how to use it
JIM LR
The American press comes out with publications that talk about problems with foreign weapons in Ukraine. If earlier it was only about the fact that Western weapons “not enough” is being supplied, now a search has begun for other reasons why the Ukrainian army continues to lose territory on a daily basis. Recall that today the Kyiv regime has lost control over 22% of the territory.
The New York Times article cites evidence from the Ukrainian military, which says that there are more and more Western weapons in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, only the military personnel do not know how to use them.
As an example, the story of the junior sergeant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmitry Pisanka, who is included in the calculation of the anti-tank gun in the southern direction, is published.
Ukrainian sergeant:
We were given a foreign laser rangefinder JIM LR for aiming at the target, but no one here knows how to use it. I tried to understand the instructions in English using the Google Translate service in order to understand at least something.
The JIM LR is essentially a multifunctional thermal imaging binocular with a rangefinder and aiming function.
The NYT material says that the Ukrainian authorities often call on the West to supply modern high-tech weapons, hoping that they will bring victory. But, as the publication writes, Ukrainian troops should be able to use it.
From the material:
Otherwise, the problem that the Ukrainian sergeant faced when trying to use a laser rangefinder will spread to Ukraine on a much larger scale.
The conclusion that the author makes in a major American publication:
Analysts now believe that such an approach could repeat the failure of the United States in the case of the supply of modern equipment to the Afghan armed forces. There was a lot of equipment, but there was no one to serve it.
