“U.S. looks to supply older and cheaper weapons to Ukraine.

It is a slow process to activate large scale restocking of ammo weapon systems, but is underway across many NATO countries, including the USA.

Some things get reordered and produced quickly, others will take years, but are buffered by large inventories (like artillery shells).

Forget about Poland - they are off the hook ordering an historic armament drive.

"U.S. looks to supply older and cheaper weapons to Ukraine."
As many as one third of the howitzers the U.S. has sent to Ukraine have broken down or are otherwise unusable. It's been suggested that they're older models rushed out of storage and sent off without any sort of testing or maintenance.

Much of the gear handed over was within a decade of being scrapped. The fact is Russia is being held back by the West’s junkyard leavings. Funny thing is the Russians insisted that Iraq’s poor performance during its two encounters with Uncle Sam had to do with Iraqi incompetence and monkey model Russian exports. The stuff the Russians used was supposed to be way better than the exports. I’m starting to wonder whether Russian gear husbanded for domestic use is *worse* than export models. After all, Russian arms manufacturers have a captive domestic market. Whereas Iraq bought from the French, the Chinese, etc, which means anything Russia sold to Iraq had to be as good as or better than the other foreign competition.

You attack them personally instead of attacking their evidence.

Secondly.

Hindustan Times has been attacked here and called Putin supporters just like you are using that same line even though Hindustan Times cited the New York Times, hardly Putin supporters.

Grow up.

[Its All Over Except ...]

Wrong. The evidence that came out is that most of the arms, across the board, the US has given Ukraine has been top of the line.

I’ve seen the threads from the neocons here attesting to that.

Try lying somewhere else.

Again, grow up.

Which threads? We are giving them Humvees and M113’s which are far from state-of-the-art. M113’s were introduced in 1960. Javelins were introduced almost 30 years ago. HARM’s are almost 40 years old.

The contrast is huge. The Russians gave the Koreans and the Chinese MiG-15’s, T-34’s, which were less than a decade old at the time of the Korean War. Ditto with North Vietnam, during which the VPAF got MiG-17’s, MiG-19’s and MiG-21’s, which ranged from a decade old to 20 years at worst. We haven’t given the Ukrainians a single US jet fighter. We have over 3,000 F-16’s in the junkyard.

What evidence? While not a Putin supporter, the New York Times is appeasement-oriented just like Biden. For pretty much the entire Cold War, the Democrats talked tough while signing us up for arms agreements the Russians flouted. Whereas Trump said nice things about Putin and Xi while exiting those agreements and building new nukes so the Russians and the Chinese were under no illusion that we lacked the capability to kill every last one of them if they nuked us.

Biden is giving the least amount of support he can to Ukraine while claiming to to be standing up against Russia. Our funding for Ukraine is similar to our funding for Afghanistan.

Except the Afghans killed maybe a few thousand Taliban a year with the help of US air and artillery support. Whereas Ukrainians have killed 120,000 Russians in the course of a war that, while small by WWI, WWII (during which the Russians lost 500,000 dead a year) and Korean War (when the death toll on all sides reached over 1.5m a year) standards, is the biggest in 70 years.

I’m hoping you aren’t saying the learning curve to fly a F-16 is the same as a first generation MIG?
