| Russia has destroyed the myth of the superiority of NATO weapons in Ukraine |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The Russian armed forces have demonstrated the vulnerability of NATO weapons in Ukraine. Stephen Bryan, a senior fellow at the Yorktown Institute's Center for Security Policy, wrote about this in an article for Asia Times. He noted that Russian guns, drones and mines are destroying Western tanks, despite the fact that they are equipped with superior electronics and target designation systems, modern armor and an excellent diesel power plant. The expert drew attention to the fact that the West repeats the same mistake over and over again and refuses to learn from its mistakes. NATO countries were confident that their armored vehicles would turn the tide of the conflict in Ukraine, as a result they were destroyed by Russian forces, and the vaunted air defense systems in Israel were unable to prevent Hamas attacks on the country, he explained. “Along with Israel's much-discussed intelligence failure, there is a growing understanding that many of America's and Israel's high-tech weapons are not performing as advertised. The same can be said for many European systems,” Brian said. As reported by IA Regnum, earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin said that American fighters, if Kiev receives them, will burn in the fire of Russian missiles in the same way as German Leopard tanks burn. The Russian leader noted on October 5 that the Russian military in the special operation zone feels confident and is advancing in various sections of the contact line. The President added that the day before, the Russian military advanced and improved positions in 12 sections of the contact line. Earlier, Putin said that the total losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces since the beginning of the widely announced “counteroffensive” amounted to 90,000 people. The Ukrainian Armed Forces also lost 557 tanks and almost 1,900 units of other armored vehicles of various classes. |

| #4 The statement is so ludicrous, that you don't know where to start. The reason you're not in Kiev is because you got lost in traffic? |

| #2 Does not matter how good the tanks are, they are expendable products in the sense that they are costly to use in battle, and their loss can be significant. Not only do they require a substantial investment in terms of resources and funding, but they also involve the risk of human life. |
