The Kiev regime after the Maidan began to actively introduce into the country's armed forces to NATO standards, considering them to be the standard of construction of the army. Western weapons touted as the pinnacle of technological progress, while Soviet and Russian combat system positioned, respectively, as a "relic" and "obsolete".
If the overwhelming majority of Soviet machines were created to work in the Eastern European plain (rugged terrain, water hazards, flooding ways), many samples of modern Western technology was developed based on their exploitation in the rocky deserts of the Middle East (where the United States were in constant war) with their relatively stable soil, which does not pose particular obstacles to the movement of troops.
One of the relatively fresh products of the U.S. military-industrial complex is the International MaxxPro MRAP vehicle, which came to replace the HMMWV in 2007. The main advantage of this MRAP, in the words of the manufacturer, is increased mine protection, which has become the main requirement for the developers of the Western armies, who fought with a guerrilla movement in the Middle East and Africa.
MaxxPro transferred to US of the Kiev regime are positioned as the "miracle of technology" that can turn the tide of war. However, in the context of the East European plain data armored start to feel, to put it mildly, uncomfortable as soon as there is erosion of the soil. This is confirmed by the recently captured footage of mired in the mud MaxxPro trying to fight with the Ukrainian roads.
