None of those US and UK weapons are achieving anything on the battlefield. Their success story is only on Twitter. Starstreak, Javelin and Stinger have been trash riddled with battery issues and other problems.

Ukraine are achieving most success with Soviet weapons. Their best anti-tank weapon has been Stugna and Igla manpads have helped with helis. Ditto their s300 batteries.

That’s why US and U.K. have been running all over the globe to buy weapons from countries that have Soviet weapons for Ukraine.

Because they don't want to expose their military equipment to Russia

The same stinger missile us used to Chase out Russian lead USSR from Afghanistan

Like you, I used to think Stinger missile was the game-changer in the Soviet-Afghan war but it wasn’t. That was just American propaganda to claim a victory for itself.

According to US military experts who wrote reports after the war - Stinger missiles weren’t that effective in Afghan as well. Taliban had most of its success with how they perfected their use of RPGs, Igla and Chinese weapons. Those were the game-changer. People always forget that China and the Soviets didn’t get along during the war and the Chinese supported Taliban with everything.

Taliban also showed how effective they are with RPGs in shooting down helis because they shot down dozens of American helis during the Afghan invasion in 2003 including 2 Chinooks carrying over 45 US Navy SEAL 6 special forces whilst killing all of them.

If Stinger were that good - how come no other country has been able to use them effectively apart from the lousy claims in Afghanistan?

Another misconception is that the Soviets lost in Afghanistan. But after the Soviets left Afghanistan - the puppet government they left there survived and outlasted the Soviet Union. However, when the US left Afghanistan - the puppet government they left there collapsed and was overthrown the next day.

Post one clip out of the hundreds of clips Ukrainians have posted of destroying Russian tanks or helis/Jets where western weapons were used successfully. I only saw one clip of Javelin and the tank kept moving almost unscathed and the lousy Starstreak one hit a heli with no proof.

Almost all the videos Ukrainians have posted are of Stugna-P and their Soviet era AA batteries. And there are videos of Ukrainian soldiers complaining about NLAW and Javelins and their battery problems and how they’re not working.

Wall Street Journal also just posted an article that the U.K. is searching everywhere to buy Soviet and Russian weapons for Ukraine. So if all these western weapons are the game changer - why are they trying to buy Soviet and Russian weapons?

I can’t speak for the western artillery weapons and missiles that they’re sending now. Those ones are just getting to the frontline and we would know how effective they’re in the next few days/weeks.

If western weapons are the game changer - they won’t be doing this:

U.K. Is Shopping for Old Soviet Military Gear to Give Ukraine

The U.K. is buying Soviet- and Russian-made defense equipment to provide to the Ukrainians to help them fight off the Russian invaders, the country's defense minister said.

"Large parts of the [ministry of defense] and defense attachés around the world have been looking," Ben Wallace told reporters in Washington.

"Sometimes we've bumped into the Russians looking, by the way, in some countries, looking also for some of their resupplies because...they're running out fast," he said.

Mr. Wallace said 23 countries have stocks of Russian equipment.

"If you really want to get it to the Ukrainians tomorrow morning so they can continue to fight...find what they're trained on, find what they need," he said.

Afghanistan, which the Soviet Union invaded in 1979, likely has old stocks of Soviet gear, but Mr. Wallace suggested not even the Russians would venture there to buy arms.

cheesy cheesy @ how long it takes to master weapons.

We’re talking about handheld weapons and artillery here - not fighter jets and helis that have sophisticated electronics.

Manpads and ATGM are quite easy to learn and you can master how to use them within a few days. And you can master artillery within a month max.

Stop exposing your ignorance. Javilin, Nlaw are the majority killer weapons against russian Tanks in Ukraine.
Stinger messed up Russia Helicopter in Soviet Afgan war.
The Reason UK is also sourcing Soviet made weapons too for Ukraine is because Ukrainian soldiers are already acquaint using Soviet weapons, and do not need training for it.

Wonder why they stopped talking about them once they arrived in Ukraine. But before they arrived - they were the game changer on Twitter, lol.

M777s aren’t a game changer - Russia has superior weapons with flame throwers and smerch. And their artillery is very accurate. So they don’t even need to do much to destroy m777s. Every time they receive fire - they’ll just target it with artillery, lol.

Yeah, I followed this story. Here's the thing though: I got to read about it through the Russians on Telegram. They admitted there were some losses at the initial attempts BUT they did finally succeeded in crossing troops and equipment across the river. The Russians are still advancing and I'm certain to a reasonable extent that the Donbass will be in their hands in a few weeks.

As for the claimed 1,500 losses, Ukrainians and pro-west supporters club, abeg fear God na. that lie is too much!
