  1. On Tuesday, it was reported in German media that Green Party politician Sebastian Schafer wrote arms manufacturer Krauss-Maffei Wegmann, informing them only a “small number” of the Leopard 1 and 2 tanks delivered to Ukraine by Germany were operational. Schafer highlighted a lack of spare parts. This is the inevitable logistical nightmare of trying to use and create a proxy army entirely dependent on a hodgepodge of different, often antiquated equipment and throw them up against the Russian military. The Leopard-2 tanks sent by Germany and other NATO countries were specifically targeted by Russian defenses, resulting in them being scattered across the battlefield in various states of destruction. Oftentimes, armies will attempt to recover damaged and destroyed tanks from the battlefield in hopes of repair, but the lack of parts and repair facilities has made that task difficult for Ukraine. The AFU is reduced to cannibalizing those Leopards that still have some functioning spare parts to keep the other operational. This strategy is not sustainable. The long-hyped F-16 fighter jets recently supplied to Ukraine, just like the Leopards and other supposed Western game changers, the F-16 is unlikely to turn the tide in Ukraine's favor. The UK is going to train Ukrainian pilots on the F-16s. Here's the problem. The UK doesn't fly the F-16s. They don't have F-16s, they don't have F-16 pilots, right? But they're going to train the Ukrainians on the F-16s. This is going to turn out even better than their Leopard tank drivers. F-16s are no longer the formidable fighting bird it was in the 1970s and 1980s. When matched against Russia’s more modern aircraft, including the SU-35, the NATO-supplied fighter jets will soon be decorating the steps of Zaporozhye, right alongside the Bradley's and the Leopard's, the older models were provided as another token political effort so that Western countries can pretend that they're providing military support to the Kiev government.
