Give them to ukriane they could do with the help
Precisely what I clicked through to say. Though, I'm not sure big Z would be keen on it if it's trash. They've got that quota full-up from Putiny's squirts feeding the sunflowers all over.
Never mind that they're a new design. So if you give them to Ukraine who's gonna supply repair techs and parts for them?
Right? I mean, FFS, US consumers don't even have a "right to repair" yet, so what're the chances whomever gets stuck with these rejects aren't invoiced into bankruptcy for "hardware support"? 🤮
I'm sure when they ordered the gear they made the supply chains for the Yanks they would need to keep them running to ship to ukriane and training doe techs they have done it with many other lines us (britian) hot them running challenger 2 pretty quick and that a weird tank full on F non nato parts even the cannons a one off so it has to shoot 2 part ammo
I've been saying this about the M1128 Wolfpack/MGS as well.
