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.

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.
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.

Could you resend the video?
Haven't had the time to watch it

Perhaps. It could also just be people not wanting to believe the people on 'their team' are not exactly squeaky clean. This sports team view of the world is ridiculous and stupid. It just isn't that simple, folks.

Ukraine, in my experience, is wildly corrupt even on a day to day basis. The Bite was ridiculous. While I love the Ukrainian people, their inability to deal with corruption was maddening.
