Nobody yet sold heavy weapon systems to Ukraine, stuff like Patriot or Iron Dome anti aircraft systems. Or tanks/planes.

- brimble 5y agoI think early reluctance had a lot to do with expecting anything advanced or large that was sent to be destroyed, or to be irrelevant by the time it could be brought into use (time to get it there, training time, then time to move it into a useful position). That they think Ukraine will still be able to field aircraft by the time this transfer is done, is itself interesting.
- MomoXenosaga 5y agoTricky situation. One can assume that Russia is going to win this war with brute force. Then they will take whatever Ukrainian weapons they can before it's destroyed. Secondly weapons are useless without trained operators. I imagine Ukrainian military does not have experience operating NATO weaponry.
