Recently, it was reported that Czech carried a large number of Soviet-made tanks on trains and were transported to Ukrainian in a mighty manner. In this regard, there were many discussions in the outside world: NATO is going to be prepared to intervene in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict? Russia responded: It is not ruled out that the possibility of using nuclear weapon is not ruled out. It seems that a fierce battle is about to enter the countdown.
This time, the Czech Republic transported T-72 tank and BVP-1 infantry fighting vehicle to Ukraine. This is also the first time that NATO countries have provided Ukraine with heavy equipment like tank since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Czech television said it was a gift after agreement with NATO allies. In addition, the Czech Defense Minister announced that the government has approved the donation of military equipment worth 133 million kroner to Ukraine for free. For security reasons, it is not clear what kind of equipment it is. It also approved to accelerate the procurement of military supplies and some defense modernization projects from 2022 to 2024, with a total value of about 48 billion kg.

So, judging from the photos released on the spot, the trains transporting tanks and infantry fighting vehicles in the Czech Republic did not carry out any concealment, which can be said to be a swagger. In addition, using transportation tools such as trains is very easy to detect Russian drones and other reconnaissance equipment. Once discovered and destroyed, they are basically a few missiles and .
So, isn’t the Czech Republic really afraid of Russia when it blatantly transports weapons and equipment to Ukraine? In fact, the old T-72M1 and BVP-1 are much behind in performance compared to the T-64BV and BMP-2 in Ukraine. Among them, BVP-1 is the Czechoslovakian version of BMP-1 in the Soviet era. T-72M1 is equivalent to T-72A. Although the T-72 series tanks have been exported, none of the T-64 has been sold to the outside world. Now, they use the imitation version of the T-72M1 tank to fool them, which is simply a beggar.

So, can these old stock equipment decades ago really fight against the steel torrent of the Russian army? Obviously unrealistic. In addition, these two types of tank and armored vehicles were almost made in the early 1980s. It has been forty years now. After the independence of the Czech Republic, a large number of Soviet-made equipment have been abandoned and dismantled, leaving only a small number of them with good quality, but they have long since been seriously worn and aged in machinery, and are simply military garbage. Even if they are given to Ukraine, they will not have any substantial effect.

At the same time, Germany also supported some Soviet tanks and armored vehicles of the former East German People's Army to Ukraine, while Ukraine requested support for weasel infantry fighting vehicle , and Germany did not respond to this at all. Therefore, at this time, Ukraine should fully understand that NATO countries and former Warsaw Pact organizations are just polite and do not give it to others when they are facing crises in other countries. Facts have proved that Western countries only hope to use Ukraine to consume Russia's strength and do not want to truly aid Ukraine.
The Russian-Ukraine conflict has continued to this day. On the one hand, it may be that the Russian army has not been able to quickly achieve strategic and tactical goals and is still maintaining continuous attacks. On the other hand, Ukraine has also lost a large area of its territory and is still fighting with the support of NATO. In short, it can be seen that the United States and NATO really want to see Russia-Ukraine continue to fight for a long time and gain a lot of benefits from it.
