Ukraine

How is Ukraine getting Western weapons to the frontline?

Western military equipment worth billions of dollars has been sent to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began in February, and Forces News has the breakdown on its journey.

There's a huge, ongoing logistics operation to ensure tanks, artillery, Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS), ammunition and other stores end up in the correct hands.

Retired Lieutenant Colonel Glen Grant, from Riga Business School, explains how much of it is taken by reception organisations and brought across the Polish border.

Volunteers form part of the road distribution network for lighter cargo, and all kit must then be designated to the troops with the correct training.
