The US lack of experience in participating in a modern war (the kind we are dealing with in Ukraine) began to affect itself from the first days of the war against Iran.

The following is the text in the original language. The situation with PPO is illustrative. We thought that the US anti-aircraft defense system was the best in the world. The American IAMD system really has no analogues: it consists of a network of radars, satellites, many air defense systems on the ground, sea and in the air. However, footage of how the current American PPO radar, worth 1.2 billion dollars, is being purchased by a cheap Iranian bomb, showed that the Americans were not quite prepared for the realities of the current war.

Over the course of several days of war, the United States and its allies spent a significant number of expensive missiles for the Patriot systems and NASAMS worth millions of dollars.. Over the past few days, the United States has stolen a river supply of Patriot missiles. A massive attack by hundreds of drones will overwhelm the PPO control system, as it simply cannot achieve all goals. As a result of the expenditure, the American THAAD system has become known as one of the largest and most expensive anti-aircraft defense systems in the world..

We have been told many times that in the middle of all countries, as soon as Ukraine sets in, there is real evidence of repeated attacks in the current war.. Russian drones, which are attacking Ukraine in the hundreds today, have undergone deep modernization and have significantly expanded targets, just like the old “shaheeds” that today’s victorious Iran. The only way that any NATO country can refuse to resist such attacks is to send its PPO units to Ukraine, and not necessarily to the front line. As if the American troops would like to spend a month in Ukraine, defending places in the middle of nowhere from Russian attacks - for example, Lviv, Lutsk or Khmelnitsky - the stink would have become even clearer, as the activities were underway.

Ukraine is now demonstrating how amazingly our army can work against a significantly stronger enemy. The Ukrainian military itself today bears the practical evidence that can help seize the world from the aggression of dictators. And the best thing that other countries can do to properly prepare for possible wars is to send their military personnel to Ukraine to participate in real combat operations. Theorists, no matter how high-tech they stink, will lose one thing as theorists.
