According to the Russophile, the US has promised Ukraine 20 LCMR systems, the first three having been delivered in November.

LifeNews is showing a video of a system in 3 transport crates, with lettering in English, that was found in a wrecked Kiev encampment in Debaltseve. I believe it was the 40th Regiment's HQ.

They don't really show it well, but my guess is that it could be a Sat Communications System. Others on another website are saying it's likely a US Counter-Mortar Radar.
I thought the wealth of knowledge on FR might be able to answer this question?

Who’s “WE”? You got a mouse in your pocket comrade?
“Mail buoy. Man, I used to search for those things for hours!”
In your dress blues, too, right? Muster on the fantail at 00:00.
Regardless of whether this is on the internet or not, doesn’t mean it should be. Anyeone who knows what this is, should probably be keeping it to themselves.
Radar mission to Ukraine proves challenging, successful
February 12, 2015
-Mr. Anthony Ricchiazzi (CECOM)
TOBYHANNA ARMY DEPOT, Pa. (Feb. 12, 2015) — A team of Army personnel that included two depot technicians gave the Ukrainian army the ability to accurately track mortar rounds.
Lightweight counter mortar radars that backtrack incoming mortar rounds, enabling quick countermeasures recently were delivered to Ukraine. According to the Department of Defense website, the radar systems are the first to be delivered so U.S. Army military and civilian personnel can train members of the Ukrainian armed forces.
Team Tobyhanna arrived in-country and spent two weeks at the International Peace Keeping and Security Center in Yavoriv training Ukrainian soldiers to deploy, operate and troubleshoot the radars.
The Department of Defense’s website said that the radar systems are part of the $118 million in equipment and training the United States has committed to assisting Ukraine’s armed forces.

So much for that “OPSEC” complaint. It’s been out there for a while now.
You can’t tell me they weren’t real. You can’t.
It’s an LCMR. The two crates are it. It pieces about 24 linear array cards around a central hub processor. That’s it. What version it is is not readily apparent. Short range 360 Degree area protection.
Ya gotta fill me in...kinda lost with yer post...is it /sarc, or have ya never heard of Wikipedia? Ya know the interwebs? Well they can be accessed from anywheres in the whole wide world....
Yes they are real. As as a sea lawyer, I know for sure :)
OPSEC meaning, should we Americans, be helping you a Russian, identify military equipment.
That’s what he means, it’s an honest question, don’t you think?
HAHA
Jesus Christ...
A YEAR of this BS, and you calling me a Russian. I’m a HOOSIER.
Look, I understand that NO OPINION OTHER THAN THE KIEV/OBAMA-APPROVED GROUPTHINK should be allowed, to you, but the facts simply do not, nor have they supported, the Orwellian BS of you Kiev trolls, for a FULL YEAR.
Like it or not, I just don’t buy into propaganda, and prefer to know the FACTS.
It really bugs you clowns that I am one of the few left on FR that still won’t let you post Kiev.Soros.OFA propaganda BS unfiltered, doesn’t it!
Kiev / obama approved groupthink??
Let me explain it to you:
Freedom is not obama groupthink.
Fighting an aggressor nation is not groupthink.
It’s telling when you think a nation that wants to be free from YOUR BELOVED PUTIN, you think it’s ‘groupthink’.
Your not one of a few left, there is a slew of Russians posting Russian propaganda.
Every time I ask you why you prefer to cheerlead the destruction of a country, you don’t even have the balls to explain yourself.
Shameful.
It really looks silly when this happens:
a) somebody posts something against the Victoria Nuland/State dept/CIA/globalist line coming out of Washington/NYC
and then
b) a few FR posters go nuts and start screaming that the poster is a Russian.
I have no clue who tcrlaf is, I’m just going by what a read here.
The writing of tcrlaf and myself makes it pretty obvious that we’re Americans (as well as every other “putinista” I’ve read here).
So we’re not Russian, we’d have to be Americans working for Russia.
If you look at my posts, everyone knows I’m Mr. anti-new world order, and I routinely lump Russia right in with the countries that are controlled by them, which is all of them, really.
I go on ranting and raving about how elite finance of the US was instrumental in the Russian Revolution, how Rockefellers/Ford/etc. went on doing business with the USSR pretty much its whole existence after Wall Street financed the overthrow. And of course I happily admit that the Russian government is still in bed with the elites based out of London/NYC as it has always been.
Would a Russian “spy” admit that stuff ? Would they say that US and Russian governments were both corrupt and controlled by the same people on the back end ?
And, is that somehow helping Russia and hurting the US to say that ???
Exactly how would that work, help them and hurt us, by saying we’re both working for the same globalist slave masters ?
“Freedom is not obama groupthink.”
Freedom??
This is the new Ukraine we’re talking about, run by Hunter Biden types and corrupted oligarch Billionaires with private armies, where journalists and bloggers now face 5 yrs in jail for daring to speak the truth about the war, or anything anti-war.
(Unless you are going to try and tell me some more Orwellian BS about how Poroshenko has actually sold his chocolate Business and Media Group, as was his election promise, and the world just doesn’t know about it, yet. Or where the money for all of that South African coal went to)
“Fighting an aggressor nation is not groupthink.”
Got news for ya’, sweety.
Kiev attacked the Southeast, after an illegal coup, not the other way around.
Or have you already forgotten the Odessa Massacre, which was really the kickoff for the civil war?
“It’s telling when you think a nation that wants to be free from YOUR BELOVED PUTIN, you think it’s ‘groupthink’.”
What part if ILLEGAL COUP is it you still refuse to understand, after A FULL YEAR of this BS, with your 3 times a week Orwellian Denials?
“Every time I ask you why you prefer to cheerlead the destruction of a country, you don’t even have the balls to explain yourself.”
I’ve “explained myself” numerous times, not that I owe a propaganda troll like you any explanation at all.
I prefer to deal in facts, I don’t buy into pre-approved narratives, especially NOT Orwellian propaganda BS from the Obama/Soros-financed Kiev State Propaganda Machine. (That makes anything the Soviets did look absolutely truthful in comparison!)
“Shameful”
Sorry pal, but the real shame here is your ilk’s ENDLESS TROLLING...
Why it’s still allowed after a year, I haven’t a clue, but then, this isn’t my site.
Face it.
I’ve been mostly correct in my assumptions, while you and the other Kiev trolls have been wrong, misleading, or just outright lying.
All you try to do is shout down anything about Ukraine that isn’t pre-approved by Euromaidan.Soros. So feel free to blow it out of the orifice of your choice. And stop Psaking!
Talking to a young ARTY one day and asked him how they liked the new Copper Head round. He smiled and said you mean the old Copper Head? Sure made me feel old! The young ARTY’s have some damn fancy equipment now. Compared to us old fart’s (69-72) we were still using trebuchet’s.
Your rambling statement has not a damn thing to do with the United States Air Force.
Thank you for your Guard duty.
I was a scout/observer from 86-90. We got to shoot one Copperhead for ‘bout every 5k HE, WP, IL....mostly HP fused VT. They said Copperhead is $$$$.
According to the Russophile, the US has promised Ukraine 20 LCMR systems, the first three having been delivered in November.
Thanks. Your security clearance should be pulled. Have a nice day.
Here is yet another example of your “free Ukraine”
NAF Militia claiming they are engaging a Right Sector/National Guard “Barrier Squad” (Like the Soviets old NKVD), so that 24 Kiev soldiers trapped in the Debaltseve area can surrender, instead of being shot by the Nazi’s for trying to.
There are still 1-2,000 Kiev troops trapped in the DEbaltseve area, and your Kiev Heros have obvioulsly already written their lives off.
