OUR WEAPONS LABORATORY

MAY 2022

Our country is using Ukraine and its people as a testing ground for our military equipment and strategy. Specifically, we are testing both advanced anti-aircraft and anti-armor equipment, plus training and tactical strategies, in real time and with live personnel against a potential adversary.

​

Without risking the lives of our citizens, we are observing the effectiveness of our Javelin missiles in destroying Soviet tanks & equipment and our Stinger missiles in shooting down various types of Soviet aircraft. We recently introduced our state-of-the art Switchblades (“kamikaze drones”). We are also monitoring the use of Soviet weapons such as their state-of-the-art Kinzhal hypersonic missile.

​

I was in the 101st Airborne Division. At the time I served our division was the Army’s leading ground-combat unit. We were equipped with the latest equipment and weaponry. Training exercises were crucial, but never could provide as valuable a learning tool as did actual combat. 

​

Human casualties, no matter friend or foe, are never worth the cost.  But in this conflagration we, in this country, are spared. The Ukrainians are not - Is that a reasonably equitable bargain?
