I’ll keep it short and simple: one thing that I was discussing with my fiance, about the hostilities in Ukraine, is that, apparently, Western nations are refraining from sending more modern weapons to help Kiev’s regime precisely because they’re aware the Russians would capture them and, soon enough, there’d be both counter-measures for those plus suspiciously similar designs appearing in Russia and, mayhaps, China.
Or would that be too difficult to happen? What are your thoughts?
Makes sense. I got curious because, well, countries like Saudi Arabia and Iraq did get things like M1A1 tanks (sure, aren’t the A2, but still), so I wondered what stopped Uncle Sam to send those, and UK to send stuff like the Challenger 1. While they’re more obsolete than their frontline arsenal, they still have quite a few types of technology their more modern versions still employ.
