Don’t forget that they handle the HIMARS, too, because the United States did not trust the Ukrainians to keep them out of the Russian’s hands.

And of course, they have a huge number of “advisors” and they also handle incoming weapon logistics.

This is the way we fight wars these days. We do it all except the fighting and dying. We “farm out” that part...:-)

” United States did not trust the Ukrainians to keep them out of the Russian’s hands.”

That is pure propaganda. You have no way of knowing that in any case. The secret of HIMARS is entirely within the rocket, the GPS guidance system, and as a munition that stuff is “open” to the enemy as any dud round will permit enemy examination.

It is nice for the Ukrainians to be our ‘human waves’, although I think our alliance with the Azovs really gives them no choice.
