Recently, it has been reported that a number of weapons that have been "touted" by the Western media to aid Ukraine have not played an actual role on the battlefield. Some Pentagon officials admitted that a "land-launched small-diameter bomb" with a range of more than 150 kilometers did not show any effect on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield. Earlier, a high-level US military official revealed that due to the lack of synthetic operations and other factors, the US-made "Abrams" tank is also frequently exposed to danger.
US Department of Defense official: Due to the electromagnetic interference of the Russian army, the "land-launched small-diameter bomb" is difficult to work
The British "Daily Telegraph" reported on the 26th that some Pentagon officials admitted that the "land-launched small-diameter bombs" provided by the United States to Ukraine failed to play a role due to various factors such as signal jamming imposed by Russia. William Laplant, the U.S. undersecretary of defense for procurement and maintenance, said there were a number of reasons for this, including electromagnetic interference from the Russian military.
The "land-launched small-diameter bomb" is a gliding bomb with a range of about 100 miles, developed by Boeing, and is less expensive than the missiles used in the Army's tactical missile system sent to Ukraine by the United States. According to the British media, the "land-launched small-diameter bomb" was delivered to Ukraine in late January, when it received great attention, and some military experts said that it could force Russia to move supplies farther from the front line, but the final result was the opposite.
Ukrainian army: Reports of the withdrawal of "Abrams" tanks from the front line are untrue
On the other hand, Ukraine's 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade pointed out on its official social platform on the 27th that some media reports that the U.S.-made "Abrams" tanks were withdrawn from the front line were untrue. The Ukrainian military stressed that it would not let the Ukrainian infantry lose such powerful fire support, but it would not publicly disclose the purpose, location and details of the transfer of tanks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
US media: The Russian army widely uses drones and American-made tanks were destroyed because they were difficult to conceal
Previously, US media reported that the Ukrainian military had withdrawn the US-aided "Abrams" main battle tank from the front line of operations, because this tank has frequently become the target of Russian drones. According to reports, due to the extensive use of drones by the Russian army to reconnoiter and strike Ukrainian tanks, and the lack of defensive countermeasures on the Ukrainian side, a "Abrams" tank worth about $10 million was destroyed because it was difficult to conceal. Grady, deputy chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US military, said that the Ukrainian army uses "Abrams" in a single way of fighting, lacks synthetic operations, and in an environment where drones are ubiquitous, armored clusters are in danger.
Analysts have pointed out that the United States and the West have exaggerated the effectiveness of US-made weapons for the sake of the interests of military industrial enterprises and the needs of diplomatic strategy.
Russian Defense Minister: The Russian army has shattered the "myth of superiority" of Western weapons
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on the 23rd that the Russian army has broken the "myth of superiority" of Western weapons and will further strike at the weapons and equipment provided by Western countries to Ukraine.
