Former Pentagon adviser called Patriot deliveries to Kyiv a farewell gesture before the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

American Colonel Douglas McGregor, who is a former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, called the transfer of Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems to the Ukrainian army promised by US President Joe Biden as a kind of farewell gesture from Washington before the inevitable defeat of the Kyiv regime.

McGregor noted that such a gesture by Washington is an attempt by the White House to justify itself to the Ukrainian society after the impending complete defeat of the Ukrainian army during the armed conflict with the army of the Russian Federation.



According to the ex-adviser to the head of the American military department, this is done so that the Western allies of Ukraine can say that they did everything in their power to support the Kyiv regime, but they did not succeed.

McGregor also called "madness" the policy pursued by the US government towards the Ukrainian authorities, who initially had zero chances of success in the military campaign.

The retired US military has repeatedly stressed that, in his opinion, Ukraine will inevitably be defeated in an armed conflict with Russia, and no support from Western allies can save the country.

He also added that the main part of the military equipment supplied to Kyiv is outdated and not adapted to the modern conditions of warfare, and the supply of NATO equipment turns Ukrainian troops into a kaleidoscope, the appearance of which changes almost weekly.

      And there is also an opinion that by supplying the very first and oldest Patriot, the Yankees want to test the operation of the system on it in action and in conflict with such a technologically advanced adversary as Russia.
      So Douglas' opinion is not the only and most correct one. smile

    Wars are not won from defense, so while there is no offensive by our troops, we can talk about the defeat of the Ukroreich
    it’s premature, although it’s possible that the Ministry of Regroupings and Goodwill Gestures will be able to do something; in the end, 10 months have already passed, some conclusions have probably been made, in addition to re-sticking nameplates from foreign UAVs, you finally look and we’ll actually see modern equipment in the troops in commercial quantities, and not only in the imagination of our minister, well, it is possible that our industry will be revived, and not foreign

      And I'm not worried. I'm just stating a fact. I also see how they are driven. Along the Moscow Ring Road and Semfiropolka. Who would have said about this in February-March. And then an American colonel writes about the defeat of the APU. So far, there are no signs of this.

    With a technologically underdeveloped enemy, it didn’t work out very well (when defending Saudi Aramco, for example). And then there is a chance to completely lose face.))

      Patriot is the equivalent of the S-300.
      Aircraft at high and medium altitude shoot down perfectly.

    Frankly, I *think* there are 2 things going on. Firstly, Russia has managed to almost totally disarm Europe, and the West, as almost everything, not nailed down, has been sent to Ukraine. Secondly, the Ukraine hasn't much of an economy left, yet seems to require about 10 Billion a month to keep playing along, we'll see how long the West caqn keep up that payment.

    A typical disinformation from all sorts of soothsayer colonels there, ala-ulya "The Russian Armed Forces will take Kyiv in 3-4 days - I swear by my mother!" Listen to these "foretellers" and do the opposite. so much so that Putin had to announce the next comprehensive transformations in the army, because it is already obvious to everyone that the RF Armed Forces at the moment are no longer capable of anything serious even in a deaf strategic defense. And the modernization of the army cannot be carried out as soon as possible. So that's all can take a very long time.

    There is not a single American talking head that says something without a definite intent.
    The defeat of the Ukrainians was talked about directly or indirectly, with reservations - but only after the start of strikes on the energy sector.
    And indeed, everything slowed down there, the sharpness disappeared, the society began to get tired sharply, radicalism was replaced by despondency... it is already obvious now...

    This post of a former adviser is calculated on the fact that when this happens - and this will happen, most likely, not on the battlefields, but due to the complete collapse of the outskirts as a state system ...
    So, to the question: why didn’t they win before the collapse?
    And here comes the justification: they say, outdated weapons. Cleans up the image costs of America.

    Lying (they all lie by definition, or rather by nature) an acidic gelding. The first is an order of magnitude cooler than himars - the most up-to-date intelligence from pintossny online. We will not list here the entire line of modern weapons (including all kinds of unmanned aerial vehicles) that our "partners" brought in abundance ... but it either did not go in, or turned out to be much worse than Soviet models in all respects, or, if it showed good performance on ranges with a limited number of shots, then in practice it breaks down quite quickly.

    So far, this is what happens with regards to the capabilities of the Russian army: the Russians obviously overestimated its capabilities - "because 80% are new weapons that do not have ...". But nya - clearly critically underestimated. First of all, air defense and electronic warfare. Yes, for dust in the eyes they praised us, but among themselves, apparently, they considered our army to be completely sham.
