US weaponry in Ukraine demonstrated its ineffectiveness in modern battles, and Washington has drawn the appropriate conclusions, La Nouvelle Tribune wrote on June 9.
According to the newspaper, realizing the seriousness of adaptation and innovation, the United States will accelerate the development of new variants of its prized weapons.
The publication writes that the battles in Ukraine have taught the United States a serious lesson that its prized advanced US weaponry is probably not at all ready for modern warfare.
The unexpectedly weak defenses and low effectiveness of US and European weapons “underscore the importance of adaptability and innovation” and “calls into question their adaptability to modern warfare tactics,” the publication writes.
A clear proof of this was the Abrams tanks, an advanced variant of the US arsenal, which on the frontline “exposed significant flaws in their design in the face of modern threats.” Known for their protection, these vehicles proved problematic due to armor that was not strong enough, even to protect the tank from cheap drones.
As the publication notes, the USA reacted quickly to their failures. US military officials have confirmed that the Abrams is proving to be “not ready for modern air attacks,” and are already offering lightweight and high-tech variants of the Abrams tank, the M1E3. The same happened with the US Bradley IFV, which has not shown the necessary effectiveness, and the US military is increasingly interested in the prospective XM30 IFV being developed to replace it.
