Russia Ukraine war, page-222878

WASHINGTON, May 29. The conflict in Ukraine has exposed multiple setbacks in US weapons, dispelling the illusion of their superiority, journalist Andrew Cockburn said in an article for the Responsible Statecraft news website.

The standoff between Russia and Ukraine "has pitilessly exposed our defense system’s deep, underlying, faults," he wrote.

The article’s headline said the conflict ripped the veil off of US weapons superiority.

As examples of poor performance, Cockburn pointed to Abrams tanks, which often broke down and proved vulnerable to Russian attack drones, and M777 howitzers, which "proved too delicate for the rough conditions of sustained combat."
