Pot calling kettle black. How much of what was listed in Russian inventory before the Ukraine invasion turned out to be missing (presumed sold) or damaged beyond repair?
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️The US Army has damaged spare parts for Abrams, Bradley and Stryker due to improper storage, Defense Express claims. The Pentagon inspected Defense Logistics Agency distribution centers, where about 2 million units of components worth $3.8 billion were located.

It turned out that 67% was spoiled. So 80 gas turbine engines worth $90 million lay in the open air for 3 years without packaging. Tank tracks and diesel engines were lying on the grass without proper preservation.

It’s not hard to guess who will get this illiquid property. The other day, the United States reported that a batch of 31 Abrams tanks had already arrived in Ukraine. On paper it looks formidable - almost like an American tank battalion! In fact, these cars are veterans from the time of Grandfather Reagan, who fought in Desert Storm.

If suppliers treated old tanks in the same way as spare parts for them, then Ukrainian rear officials may have serious problems maintaining the combat effectiveness of the Abrams. Something tells us that a lot of exciting adventures await American cars in the NWO zone.
