LOL “Green” movement strikes out again – Rodents damaging Western hardware in Ukraine – Le Figaro
Eco-friendly weapons are unsuitable for the realities of an actual conflict, the French paper claims
Some of the military hardware supplied to Ukraine by the West has become inoperable after being damaged by rodents, Le Figaro has reported, citing a French fighter in the ranks of Kiev’s forces.
“rodents ate the cables on some of the vehicles” used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. “Some of the protective sheaths of electrical wires [in the Western-supplied hardware] are made of corn fiber,” which attracts mice and rats, he said. Le Figaro stressed that “the phenomenon is marginal, but it tells the story of the confrontation of the Western military equipment with reality.”
“Western vehicles were designed as a technological showcase. But, in the mud and cold, they don’t always work,” the French fighter is cited as saying.

US Sees Ukraine As “Active & Bountiful Military Research Opportunity”; WaPo Reports
“The war remains an active and bountiful research opportunity for American military planners as they look to the future, officials say,” the Post reported. A senior defense official explained, “We immersed them in this conflict to make sure they were understanding the implications for warfare.” A second official told the outlet that the Ukraine war will be “an enduring resource.” (at the expense of “Ukraine is struggling to arm its forces and has suffered 500,000 casualties.”)
“Senior defense officials” of the west are fools. What they should learn from Russia’s SMO is that they are generations behind in the most important war technologies, that they are incapable of winning a war against Russia or China and that they should close their military bases world wide and mind their own business.
