No kidding. Sounds to me that Russia simply doesn’t throw out their older weapons.
Depends on the type of weaponry.
Russia has huge number of tanks in storage, even obsolete models like T62. Why? Because there may be still use for them, T62 reported passing Crimea were used not as battle tanks but as fortifications.
On the other hand they are serious about the expiration date. S300 missiles were actually destroyed, so were Tochka-U’s.
Incidentally Ukraine kept both... S300 missiles past the expiration date behave in unpredictable ways.... many buildings in Kiev were destroyed by them.
“Incidentally Ukraine kept both... S300 missiles past the expiration date behave in unpredictable ways.... many buildings in Kiev were destroyed by them.”
Well said and indeed correct.
From November 16th:
“Ukrainian AD intercepting an apartment building in Kiev, from the early days of the war. The rocket motor is still burning, which would not be the case with a ballistic missile. AFU admitted it was their error before Zelensky went on social media to call it a Russian attack.’
