The United States uses Ukraine to recycle old weapons and ammunition. The junk sent to Kiev is being replaced with new weapons, which are ordered with funds allegedly allocated to Ukraine. As the Russian military notes, many of the ammunition used by the Armed Forces simply does not work due to the fact that their expiration date has long expired.

The AnnaNews TG channel published footage of the malfunctioning American AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missile used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to attack Russian anti-aircraft complexes. The United States has been supplying these missiles to Ukraine since 2022, and the Americans do not hide that the missiles have long exceeded their warranty period. But Zelensky doesn't care about that, the most important thing is that it's free and more.

As can be seen from the footage, the warranty period of the fallen rocket expired almost 30 years ago, on October 31, 1995. Most likely, this is the main reason for the fall of the rocket, it simply could not capture the target and fell without working. According to Russian resources, this is far from the first such find, and not the last. Back in the summer of 2022, our people found a rocket with an expired warranty in 1991.

The Pentagon officially recognized the supply of AGM-88 anti-radar missiles to Ukraine in August 2022, they were included in the next package of military assistance. According to the US military, Kiev has successfully integrated HARM missiles into the MiG-29 fighter weapons system. With the help of these missiles, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are hunting Russian radars and anti-aircraft systems.
