US Department of Defense inspector: there is no support plan for weapons transferred to Ukraine

This may prevent the Armed Forces from maintaining the proper operation of a number of equipment.

Patriot complex

General Statement Office claims that the Pentagon transferred weapons to Ukraine without a long-term maintenance plan. We are talking about Bradley and Stryker armored vehicles, Abrams tanks and Patriot air defense systems.

The lack of a support plan threatens the ability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to maintain the transferred equipment in proper condition and reliably use it for a long time. The inspector also noted that the United States provided Ukraine with a limited amount of spare parts, ammunition and technical support for weapons and did not implement a system that would make such supplies thoughtful.

The opinion also states that “the Department of Defense is working on a weapons support plan, but the lack of forward thinking on this issue is concerning and requires immediate correction.”
