American edition: Estonia is trying to completely update its arsenal by sending obsolete weapons to Ukraine

Ukraine's Western partners are using the military conflict to their advantage with might and main. According to Politico, many countries are using the situation to upgrade their arsenals.

According to the American publication, the military conflict in Ukraine allowed some countries to upgrade their arsenals quite well by supplying Kyiv with old weapons and receiving compensation for them in terms of new ones.

The thing is that the countries providing military assistance to Ukraine can count on compensation from the European Peace Fund, which in the European Union serves to purchase weapons, including for Kyiv. The Fund compensates countries for 84% of the funds spent on Ukraine. However, this is where the question arises, because each country calculates this very cost according to its own methodology, taking new weapons as a basis, and not supplied junk.

For example, Finland in their documents indicates 100% of the cost of new equipment, Latvia - 99%, Lithuania - 93%, Estonia - 91%, France - 71% and Sweden - 26%. Moreover, out of this six, Estonia is trying to upgrade its arsenal to the maximum, supplying Ukraine with old scrap metal, demanding to compensate for it with modern weapons. So, according to one of the European diplomats, having sent a batch of old Strela MANPADS left over from Soviet times to Kiev, the Estonians demanded compensation from the European Union as for modern American Stinger MANPADS.

In Tallinn, they did not comment on the accusations, but earlier in Estonia they said that they were counting military assistance to Ukraine on the basis of the "replacement cost" of the sent weapons and intended to receive "worthy compensation" from the European Peace Fund.

Estonia is trying to completely upgrade its arsenal by sending obsolete weapons to Ukraine

Is it only Estonia? Yes, all countries that supply military equipment to Ukraine, most often still Soviet-made or Western, but from the Cold War era, are now trying to do this

Western partners of Ukraine are using the military conflict to their advantage.

So it turns out to be about money?!?
And I was thinking about democracy, the independence of Ukraine, and for all the good against all the bad...

Estonia also joined the tank coalition like Lithuania?

[Sovpadenie]

Mutually beneficial partnership)) Under the trend of helping the Outskirts, the allies want to snatch more for themselves. Therefore, everyone is interested in prolonging the conflict.

It's a little sad that the military industry in the west is starting to wake up as a result of the NWO. Countries that once did not even think about weapons are beginning to allocate funds for it, and all the profits will go to America and countries with a developed military industry. Not to mention they are restoring munitions factories that have been covered in grass and moss for 30 years. It looks like the beginning of a new "arms race".

It looks like the beginning of a new "arms race".

An arms race is when each of the opposing sides produces huge amounts of weapons, trying to establish parity with the enemy or overtake him.
The military-industrial complex of the United States and its allies will eventually be able to produce technologically advanced weapons on a huge scale, and our military-industrial complex is able to keep up with it?
So no, this is not an "arms race" - this is a unilateral strengthening of the armaments of the West.

The Peace Foundation buys arms...

One of us is definitely crazy.
It remains only to determine the whole world or me.

Today they listed who and how much they demand compensation for the rubbish delivered to the ukroreikh. It turned out that only one Sweden - an ideological kibalchish - only 26% of the amount of new weapons. All the rest, giving rusty half-century-old iron to the chubaks, demand from 80 to 100% of the cost of new Western weapons or replace the given junk with the latest Western models.

Because Sweden can produce itself, the rest are sucked, France surprises.

How profitable it is to give away tons of expensive weapons for nothing, and to buy new American rubbish on credit at exorbitant prices. For the money of the American military-industrial complex, the "free American press" will tell you something else.
