Is there any nation on earth that wouldn’t prefer the weapons made by American allies to Russian allies?
—————-
Yes, many. 45 countries, they get much, much more “ bang” for their bucks. India and China comes to mind…..many more:

…after the Ukies Patriot missile debacle, we haven’t heard much more about the glorious Patriots.( fail). Of course we won’t mention Poland, ( tons of Russian equipment even when in NATO) or the countless other TCN’s.

Hint: You really need to pull up what the Ukie soldiers say about our Bradley’s M113’s and Strykers….they didn’t name the Zaparhoznia salient “ Bradley Square” for their stellar performance.

Didn’t Ukraine refuse to accept any more M777s after the fragile aluminum/titanium crappers started falling apart after ~30 shots ?

The question was “Is there any nation on earth that wouldn’t prefer the weapons made by American allies to Russian allies?”

Not what they have to settle for based on what they can pay.

Ukies don’t know how to use our equipment... M113s are tin cans, Bradley ivfs are tin cans with a bigger gun and tow missles, same with Strykers. It’s a waste to even give them to the Ukies.
