Ryan McBeth - Modern, Sophisticated Weapons Key to the Success of Ukraine’s Spring Counter-offensive
GUEST: Ryan McBeth - Influential YouTuber, Author, triathlete, Army veteran and programmer.
----------
NATO members and other western countries have stepped up the supply of weapons to Ukraine. The UK pledged 14 Challenger 2 tanks, the US 31 Abrams tanks, and Germany dispatched 14 Leopard 2 tanks, with more to follow. Other countries are sending anti-tank and anti-air systems, artillery pieces, drones, armoured vehicles, and tanks. Modern, sophisticated weapons are key to the success of Ukraine’s spring counter-offensive, but all this different equipment made in many countries brings challenges. Ukrainian troops need to learn to operate the new equipment and need supplies and replacement parts. To try to overcome the identification challenge, the US has issued Ukrainians with a deck of 52 playing cards of various pieces of hardware to help minimise “friendly fire” incidents.
