On Friday, rt.com<\/a> posted an article about the use of eco-friendly weapons in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Some of the military hardware supplied to Ukraine by the West has become inoperable after being damaged by rodents, Le Figaro has reported, citing a French fighter in the ranks of Kiev\u2019s forces.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eco-friendly weapons provided to the Ukrainian military by the country\u2019s foreign backers are\u00a0\u201csometimes unsuitable for the realities of the front\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cdon\u2019t come out well\u201d<\/em>\u00a0in an actual conflict, the reported in an article on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As proof of its claim, Le Figaro provided an account by an unnamed French fighter, who complained that\u00a0\u201crodents ate the cables on some of the vehicles\u201d<\/em>\u00a0used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the protective sheaths of electrical wires [in the Western-supplied hardware] are made of corn fiber,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0which attracts mice and rats, he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Le Figaro stressed that\u00a0\u201cthe phenomenon is marginal, but it tells the story of the confrontation of the Western military equipment with reality.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWestern vehicles were designed as a technological showcase. But, in the mud and cold, they don’t always work,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0the French fighter is cited as saying.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLuckily, the Ukrainians still had a few crusts\u201d<\/em>\u00a0in their arsenal, he added, referring to the old Soviet-made hardware.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There have been many jokes about having to plug electric tanks in to recharge them before battle, but this is the first article I have read about mice and rats eating the sheaths that are supposed to protect wires. I have, however, seen examples of rodents eating gas lines in vehicles parked near cornfields. Making protective sheaths out of material that is edible to rodents in a place where food is probably scarce does not seem like a good idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
