If it works use it, no drama no explanation.Really hard to judge when Ukrainians are still rolling around in early 1960s T-64s, and 1950s BRDM-1s, while Americans still use 1960s M113s APCs and aircraft from the 1950s such as B-52s, KC135s and C-130s. As for BM-21 grad being mothballed? Where did you get your information? They have been using those systems in military exercises for a long time. Russia also uses a lot newer MLRSs including upgrades to systems such as BM-30, BM-27s, and TOS-1, as well as many new howitzers. In reality what difference does it make if it’s old or new? Results will be the same…destruction of Ukrainians positions and equipment. Do you feel better when Russia uses newer equipment such as Calibr, Iskandar, Zircon, Orion, Forpost, or dozens of other newer weapons?
I know Ukrainians will use any insults and claims against the Russian army to bolster their moral but it’s futile and pointless.
We also keep using BM21 gave us good edge during kargil war. In any case, if Russia is scavenging mothballed units as he is saying then Ukraine must be having an unlimited supply of weapons.
Let us see after 50 days of war how resupply and maintenance of hardware will be done. While Russia is replenishing they will be stretched now.
