US Has Trouble Tracking Weapons Sent to Ukraine
CNN, Sputnik ^

Posted on 04/19/2022 1:54:49 PM PDT by captain_jonas

The United States lacks the capability to reliably track the array of weapons being sent by the Biden administration to Ukraine, CNN reported on Tuesday, citing sources briefed on US intelligence.

"We have fidelity for a short time, but when it enters the fog of war, we have almost zero," a source said. "It drops into a big black hole, and you have almost no sense of it at all after a short period of time."

The Biden administration factored in the risk of providing weapons to Ukraine that may end up in the hands of militias and other groups that the US does not want to arm, the report said. However, officials currently view a failure to adequately arm Ukraine as a greater risk, the report added.

Ukrainians are probably just selling them (not that I blame them. It’s basically free money)

Impossible. Ukraine and Zelenskyy are infallible.
They ride unicorns that poop Skittles.
There has never been any crooked dealings in the land of our Messiah.
Hail Zelenskyy.

They’re being sold as we speak.

What’s left will go to the Russians.

Mil.gov complex is happy... everyone else loses.

Remember that news story from 2 days ago that said the Pentagon noticed that Ukraine, based on their requests, was going through a week’s worth of military equipment in just one day? So either the Ukes are horrible shots or 75% of their stuff we give them is being sold on the black market, most likely to Muslim groups in Europe getting their hands on anti-aircraft weapons

We need to know what is there to collect pay-off cash when we leave. The Benghazi and Afghanistan arms for cash scam.

Here s an idea.

How about we track the Billons of dollars in our high tech military arms and equipment that Biden gave to the Afghanistan Taliban?
