Worrying warning for Ukraine

Western weapons systems supplied to Ukraine are rapidly becoming obsolete amid the many military innovations developed during the conflict, the Atlantic magazine reported.

“ The pace of innovation on the battlefield has left some long-awaited Western weapons systems virtually obsolete by the time they are delivered ,” the Atlantic said.

The authors of the article note that any new equipment of the Ukrainian forces is met with resistance from Russia, and Russian innovations appear at such a rapid pace that they surpass the US and NATO defense industries. The journalists cite the example of the HIMARS multiple launch rocket system, the effectiveness of which continues to decline significantly during the conflict.
