British military sources accuse the Armed Forces of Ukraine of embezzling expensive weapons transferred to Kiev by the West. This is reported by The Telegraph newspaper.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces combine weapons provided by the West with Soviet-style tactics, which "is a mistake leading to the reckless waste of a significant amount of NATO weapons," the article says.
According to the source, the Ukrainians were ordered to present video recordings of the "correct use of weapons," but the footage shows how the Ukrainian Armed Forces randomly open fire simultaneously from five or six NLAW anti-tank installations.
"Volleys worth more than 100 thousand pounds sterling each (more than 125.2 thousand dollars)," emphasizes the newspaper quoted by Strana.
The sources also noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces, because of their "Soviet approach" to equipment and weapons, repeatedly left Javelin complexes on the battlefield, which can be reused and cost more than 100 thousand dollars. According to another interlocutor of the newspaper, the Russian Armed Forces often get anti-tank weapons abandoned by Ukrainians from Western supplies as trophies.
"The Russian army now probably has more Javelin complexes than the British army," the British source emphasized.
