In the Polish city of Rzeszow, there are active preparations for sending American M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine. The appearance of the technology is associated with a new package of military assistance, which was recently approved by the US House of Representatives and which is awaiting approval in the Senate and the signature of the president.

These events are relevant against the backdrop of statements by American officials about their readiness to immediately send weapons to Ukraine after completion of all necessary procedures. Leaked documents from the Zhytomyr Armored Plant indicate that the equipment requires significant repairs before operation. In particular, it is necessary to replace injectors and spark plugs, which is associated with a long storage period and difficult operating conditions on Ukrainian territory.

Experts emphasize that even high-quality Western military equipment can quickly fail without proper care and preparation, especially in conditions of active combat operations.
