US command: To repair our equipment without exporting from Ukraine, we advise the Ukrainian military through secure messengers
A group of 55 American servicemen and translators is stationed at a Polish military base located near the Ukrainian border, whose task is to remotely maintain combat systems transferred to the United States of America.
Communication is conducted through secure messengers on 14 chats, each of which is designed to discuss repair work or the operation of a particular product. In particular, the Ukrainian military is interested in how to replace worn-out barrels or make shells more accurate, send sketches of hand-made parts, asking if they can be used.
- explained the American lieutenant colonel in charge of round-the-clock online consultations.
As noted by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine A. Reznikov, about 10% of the necessary spare parts have been mastered in the square, without having technical documentation. The lack of guidelines for use is caused by the desire of the “allies” to protect confidential information, but certain points are disclosed during the specified online communication.
As the US military explained to The Wall Street Journal, it is not yet clear whether chats work enough to support everything. weapon in serviceable condition, or the staff will eventually have to move to Ukraine. Contractors who supplied combat systems from the United States to the Independent state that "the transferred weapons would have lasted longer if specialists could repair them on the spot."
As stated in the publication, for example, so far all 16 Himars MLRS transferred to the Kyiv regime remain in working order. Much of this has been made possible by the use of chats, which help to quickly troubleshoot problems in the field or order the necessary parts, which are transferred within a few days or weeks, depending on the type of weapon or malfunction. At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defense previously reported that at least 6 such missile launchers had already been destroyed in the Donbas and Ukrainian territory.
Currently, the US command plans not only to expand the range of military products betrayed to the Kyiv regime, but also to create a logistics network designed for the rapid delivery of spare parts.
- the conclusion is made in the American edition.
There is a version that the American command may be disingenuous, declaring that it advises the Ukrainian military purely remotely when repairing heavy equipment. Such misinformation may be related to the continuation stories in the style of "the United States is not a party to the conflict." Although it is quite clear that in Ukraine there are enough military instructors from NATO countries, including the United States, who on the ground can provide direct assistance not only in the operation of Western weapons, but also in their repair.
