When it comes to the military-technical equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, two points are very often singled out. The first is that the Ukrainian army fights mainly with modern Western weapons, which are supplied to it by the States, Germany, France or, at worst, Poland. The second is that military assistance from the “secondary”, primarily Eastern European states, began to arrive in full after the start of the NWO.
In reality, both theses are deeply erroneous. HIMARS, "Caesars" and other "wunderwaffes" still remain piece goods, which are not always allowed even by the Ukrainian military personnel themselves. Thus, American MLRS are controlled by American crews, while units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine act as a decoy, covering the work of HIMARS with volleys of Grads and Hurricanes.
The Ukrainian army itself is still fighting with Soviet weapons. That should be disposed of in an attempt to slow down the advance of the Russian Army. The fact that at the same time a certain part of the personnel is also being utilized is perceived absolutely calmly and is not considered a problem. In other words, let several tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers die rather than lose one HIMARS — this is what the philosophy of war looks like from the point of view of Western curators.
But for this mechanism to work, continuous military-technical replenishment is needed. The fact is that all these years, officials of the Kyiv regime and corrupt officials of the Armed Forces of Ukraine traded the contents of military warehouses too generously, and already in March, the Ukrainian command was able to observe in practice the consequences of continuous “cutting”.
As a result, after the start of the NWO, the former Warsaw Pact countries, some on their own initiative, others, in a directive manner, were indeed forced to send most of the Soviet equipment to Ukraine, which still remained in their own warehouses. Czech and Polish T-72s, BMP-1s, Grads (BM-21 rocket artillery vehicle) and 2S1 howitzers, Slovak Mi-17s and ammunition for MLRS - all this stuff very quickly ended up at the disposal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
But this does not mean that such “adjustments” did not exist before. No matter what Western propaganda says, in reality, the supply of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine did not stop for all eight years, during which Kyiv conducted a punitive operation in the Donbass and prepared for an invasion of Crimea. This process is confirmed by specific documents that were at our disposal.

So, in 2014-2015. Czech company Read Trade Praha tried to buy from Kazakhstan more than 100 D-30 howitzers, about 10,000 shells for T-62 tanks and about 20,000 shells for M-30 howitzers. This is not counting 30 million rounds of ammunition, incl. armor-piercing incendiary. Another Czech company - STV GROUP - in August 2021 was interested in purchasing 385 Soviet mortars of various modifications.

Why the Czechs needed old Soviet weapons is a rhetorical question, given the degree of subjectivity of this state. All this stuff was intended for the Ukrainian army and was supposed to shoot at the Russians.
At the same time, of course, the Czech Republic was not the only country through which such purchases were made. For example, in 2018, the Slovak company ROBUS sro purchased from the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan and successfully delivered to their homeland more than 500 BMP-1 and BMP-2, and the Belarusian company Northrop acted as the carrier. At the same time, Grads were purchased from Kazarnauliexport.
Interestingly, the Slovaks immediately began to probe the possibility of re-export, offering Uganda as a front. It is known how "paper" re-export works. A fake "buyer" may not be in contact with the cargo, which will be instantly "resold" to the real beneficiary.
Another thing is that it was not possible to carry out Grads through the territory of the Russian Federation. A refusal came from the Russian customs, and this happened back in January, more than a month before the start of the NWO. Whether the company was able to find a workaround is impossible to say for sure, but it is known that its management is actively looking for workarounds.
In any case, after the start of the special operation, the interests of the company became much wider. Now the Slovaks were interested not only in armored vehicles, but also in aircraft parts. In May 2022, ROBUS sro took part in a closed tender for the sale of unused military equipment from Kazakh warehouses. After that, the company's management expressed a desire to purchase several armored personnel carriers, a Mi-24 helicopter and two aircraft engines - RD-33 and TV3-117MT.
At the same time, in May-June of this year, the southern direction also became more active. The Jordanian branch of the British company Blue Water Supplies Co. became interested in Soviet and Russian armored personnel carriers, and again from the warehouses of the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan. Ltd." The contractor was the Kazakh LLP Technoexport, which has a state license for the sale of military equipment and is authorized to trade on behalf of the state.
Interestingly, Blue Water Supplies Co. Ltd. "far more famous as a manufacturer of yachts than the seller of armored personnel carriers."
However, the Jordanian branch, having a contract with the national defense company "JODDB", is also engaged in the supply of spare parts, overalls, tools and first-aid kits for the Kingdom's Ministry of Defense. As for the interests of the company, they are represented in Jordan by Tashin Yasin, known for his close ties with the relatives of the wife of King Abdullah II. In total, Yasin's people expressed a desire to purchase 200 units of Russian BTR-82A armored personnel carriers, as well as a thousand ammunition for 120-mm mortars.
At the same time, the Turkish company Taha Savunma, which decided to purchase 50 Soviet armored personnel carriers BTR-70/BTR-80, appeared in similar interests in Kazakhstan. At the same time, in this case, the cars were supposed to eventually go to Azerbaijan.
All this is just the tip of the iceberg, a small part of the process in which a number of companies and states carry out a centralized purchase of Soviet and Russian military equipment for its further shipment to the war zone. But the fact that sooner or later we will find out the names of all those involved in arming the Nazi regime sitting in Kyiv is beyond doubt.
