Ukrainian military was primarily equipped with Soviet-era weapons earlier.
The Patriot alone requires several months of training in the U.S. In addition to the training burden, these weapons require a large support system of highly specialized parts and maintenance. The long logistics tail for the highest tech systems decreases their utility. These high-end systems are critical to Ukraine’s fight but need to be supplemented by mid and low-tier systems that can be delivered and used in large numbers.and the American-made Switchblade and ScanEagle.
The ability to provide weapons systems that are more cost-effective and less training-intensive has supported the efforts to get high-end systems into Ukrainian hands by buying the Ukrainian military time. With mid-level technology as a stopgap, Ukraine has been able to meet the immediate Russian threats while preparing to use high-tech systems.
The low-end tier of systems should not be mistaken as less important than the other classes of weapons and capabilities. This tier includes commercially available, off-the-shelf products that have proved to be game changers in Ukraine, products like commercial quadcopter drones, and StarlinkCommercial technology has allowed Ukrainian forces to equip themselves with capabilities that dramatically improve command and control, communications, and overall situational awareness.
