Since May 1, Moscow has held a large-scale NATO weapons exhibition, in fact, the purpose of the display is not to promote NATO weapons and equipment, but to show Russia's achievements during the Ukrainian crisis, because the NATO weapons on display are captured on the battlefield, including the M1A1 Abrams main battle tank provided by the United States to Ukraine, and the Leopard 2A6 main battle tank provided by Germany to Ukraine. Through the NATO weapons exhibition, Moscow showed the world the essence of NATO's arch fire during the conflict in the Ukraine crisis, and at the same time directly humiliated NATO, because no matter what weapons are provided, they cannot change the situation on the battlefield, but will have to pay a heavy price for no reason.
Moscow held a relevant weapons display, after the United States announced that it would provide $6 billion in military aid to Ukraine, before the United States had provided more than $40 billion in military aid, and the Pentagon announced $6 billion at a time, which seems to be a big deal, in fact, judging from the military aid plan announced by the United States, in fact, the United States does not have much money to continue military aid to Ukraine, because although the military aid appropriation approved by the US Congress is more than 60 billion US dollars, in fact, most of it is the cost of the US military itself, and the United States maintains part of the military aid to Ukraine, and has been providing weapons through loans, highlighting the cunning of the United States.
When the United States plays tricks, it will not allow European Western countries to also take the opportunity to make money, but to ask Europe to provide real weapons and equipment, and recently Germany has promised to provide a set of Patriot 3 air defense systems. When Ukraine urgently needs Patriot anti-aircraft missiles, Israel has already made a move, and the Israeli Ministry of Defense recently announced that it will permanently mothball Patriot anti-aircraft missiles.
According to Russian media reports, targets in Russia were hit by Ukrainian airstrikes on May 1, and Ukraine used drones and other long-range strike weapons to launch attacks on Ryazan, Bilgorod and Kursk regions in Russia. Russia responded with anti-aircraft fire against the incoming drones, and the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have defeated Ukraine's cross-border strikes. Judging from the news disclosed by foreign media, Ukraine continued to strike at Russia's energy facilities on May 1, after Ukraine had repeatedly attacked Russian refinery facilities, which caused Russia's refined oil production capacity to suffer a heavy blow.
Moscow has publicly demonstrated the results of destroying NATO equipment, while Ukraine has humiliated Russia with long-range strikes, and in fact, multiple targets in Russia have been hit, which has exposed the inadequacy of Russia's air defense capabilities, and also represents that Russia has not yet established an effective buffer zone. The United States pledged to provide $6 billion in weapons and equipment, which has made the Kyiv authorities in Ukraine feel like a shot in the arm, and it can be seen from the fact that Ukraine has once again started a big gamble by projecting six tactical surface-to-surface missiles provided by the United States.
