Very clear video of Ukrainian paratrooper shutting down a Russian drone with a brand new LMM Marlet missile from the UK
Some black markets have Kalashnikovs, grenades, RPGs. In the Ukraine it is tank engines and A2A missiles.
Ukraine is the most corrupt country on the planet. Most of the gear that the west is giving them is ending up on the black market, not being used by Ukrainians. Some of it is even being sold to the Russians. They make Afghanistan look like honest people.
Have you seen the video of a Ukrainian soldier selling a brand new good looking BTR to 2 Russians soldiers? It's crazy. Happened last week. The Russians paid him in dollars and rubbles. And the BTR had ATGM missiles in it as bonus.The saddest thing is the amout of delusional people claiming this must be russian propaganda, somehow. When anyone who has followed Ukrainian military news even before the coup, was quite well aware that the place is a black hole of corruption and shady handling of weapons.
I also blame OSINT types for trying to pretend the country is not a den of corruption anymore because it might hurt their think tank cheques.

When you donated (or even sold) all your modern & NATO weapons to the Russians/DPR/LPR...
So much for NATO unifying platforms. Is there a single thing that is universal among NATO countries? Even NATO ammo has non standard specifications.Jesus, what a mismatch of equipment and parts. I'm gonna guess they don't expect it to last long enough to worry about some pesky logistics
