How Ukrainians salvage damaged weapons as they wait for aid I DW News
Переглядів 435,306
16 днів томуAs aid has slowed to a trickle, Ukrainians have been forced to improvise to keep their frontline troops supplied. DW’s Nick Connolly takes a look at how they're coping in this exclusive report from a Ukrainian military facility.
These desperate measures are underway as lawmakers in the US have approved a bill providing almost 61 billion dollars worth of aid and military support to Ukraine. The package had been delayed for months due to cross-party wrangling. Democrats joined forces with some moderate Republican lawmakers to push the bill through, though the majority of Republicans voted against it.

It's less than 8% of our military budget, but it technically replaces older munitions that are going to be destroyed due to shelf life. And yes, we have to pay a exorbant amount to dispose of those weapons, possibly 1/2 the cost of what we are giving to ukraine. So in one way, we are saving the cost of disposal by letting ukraine dispose of them on the front lines.

@midwesttraveler2485 14 днів тому
Exactly. Most people don't realize it costs 10k dollars to decommission a single stinger missile. It's better just to empty out our old stocks to send to Ukraine. And then use the allocated funds to replenish it with newer equipment. In military terms, it's called force modernization. We do, after all, only have a limited storage capacity.

Russia is going to win this SMO/War by the end of this year and all this does is prolong the destruction of Ukraine until after the November election because Joe Biden cannot be seen as losing a war and especially losing to Russia.

The scale of this war is downplayed in the minds of some people. Let me remind you that on both sides about a million people are taking part in the hostilities, half of them on the front line, which stretches for about a thousand kilometers. More than 1,200 units such as wheeled and tracked vehicles, aircraft, and ships the size of small city blocks are used every day. Hundreds of tons of fuel, ammunition, provisions and wounded are transported. Tens of thousands of tons of ammunition of different calibers are used, which are also transported.

From 2016-2021 USA economy was stagnant. After Ukraine war, USA received an addition 2 to 7 Trillion dollar in annual income. All at the cost of about 60 billion in almost 3 years to Ukraine. A drop in the bucket compared to return that the USA gets back annually. The "money" that was sent to Ukraine not only returned to the USA in annual income but with dividends unheard of since WW2.

The US is simply throwing good money after bad money. Ukraine is burning about 7 billion A MONTH, according to a report by the BBC published on 21 April, 2022, titled “Ukraine War: Country needs $7bn a month in aid, Zelensky says”. So the aid will last only a few months before Zelenskyy asks for more.
