What does the writer mean by “accuse”? Seems more like an observation.
US/NATO admit they send their oldest stuff. The vast majority of the $$$$ given to Ukeland actually goes to military contractors [Raytheon, Lockheed, etc] to build replacements for the stuff given today. Obviously. US/NATO didn’t build $300Billion in weapons over the past 18 months. They gave the stuff sitting in storage, some for decades.
Is it really an “accusation” when the parties admit it is true?
As for “Ivan’s old stuff”, you do realize the russkies have and successfully deployed hypersonic missiles, right? No Wester country has them or any defense to them. First deployed to blow up a mercenary staging area on the western edge of Ukeland some time ago, something like 200 ‘volunteers’ lost their lives. So much for “old stuff”.
US seriously underestimated russia, and seriously overestimated NATO capabilities, and really haven’t done anything to change that since the outbreak of the war. I do not want to see NATO mass graves, or Polish/Baltic cities in ruins, or god forbid anything here. Blustering emboldens the idiots who will mistake it for support of direct war against the russkies, which would be a huge mistake with unforeseeable hardships for our country. Don’t be duped by the russophobes. Most know little of what they are talking about.
Remember: Biden let in, then spread throughout the country, millions of able bodied foreign men. If .01% took up arms? We’d be in a world of hurt.
So even with old, outdated equipment, Ukraine is STILL able to hold off former-superpower Russia, going on 2 years now!
Impressive!!
Have I not read that several of Moscow's "unstoppable" missiles have been shot down by our obsolescent Patriots?
I'm not so sure what deploy means and seriously doubt Ivan actually has anything beyond some kind of prototype. They don't even have a navy and their single Aircraft Carrier is a POS.
80 years of history shows if Ivan can't copy it, he won't get it.

Moscovian Kinzal missiles are just faster Iskandar ballistic missiles, they are not real hypersonic missiles. They are shot down by Patriot 3 batteries on a regular basis.
These US and Russia have both had hypersonic missiles since the late 50s and 60s. They aren’t new.
But sure, Russians fired a couple of their new ones, but they don’t have many and that has nothing to do with the majority of their military equipment. Most of the Russian stuff is plain crap.
