scratches head.
Remember how you laughed at the propellers of a decommed Russian destroyers being stolen?
and our equipment is more is both grammatically and physically.
you had more equipment, past tense
now 1/10 of it belongs to Russia, 2/10 is on the black market and another 1/10 is in the hand of hardcore Neo-Nazis.
Great job as always!
What?
Like.
No.
Because you are wrong.
The information you have is misinformation spread by Russia to discredit the Ukraonians and the US.
The footage and photos of US equipment being sold in black market is from years ago and is not recent. Like, at least 5 years iirc.
2. Russia has mostly captured used tunes and the like, and has not captured anything of substance.
They havnt captured or destroyed HIMARS.
What, they got a couple M777 destroyed? Captured a couple Javes?
So what? That isn't even 1/10th.
At least US equipment is actually usable and not getting flat tires because they bought them from China.
Even the worst maintained HUMVEE would do better then the best maintained PANTSIR...
And let's not even get started on Nazis.
Russia has the biggest Neo Nazi groups in the world.
Wagner is led by a man who has SS tats. It also has a whole part of it that are the Russian version of Azov, and are kuch much MUCH worse.
And you do know what kind of equipment was stolen right?
Thermal scopes (Which are not something that is a US militarybonly thing.
Most optics US uses are able to be bought by civies)
Night vision goggles.
Which are...probably the 14s. Aka stuff civies can buy and are easily able to be replaced, so easy in fact they get lost and break constantly and are heavily replaced.
And a few radios.
Probably the only thing they care about, and as far as I can find they got back.
Fin fact, unlike the Russians, American comms are useless for more then what they were using Beafongs for.
Thiugh it depends on the radio. But without encryption they are useless.
So congrats. A soldier stole things that are easily replaced, unlike a particular country that can't replace its SAM systems
