UK Proposes Sending Surplus 4x4s to Aid Ukraine's Winter Campaign
-
Despite controversy, the proposal to send old "Chelsea tractors" from London to Ukraine should proceed quickly, as it's just a bureaucratic issue to resolve.
-
With action from the Transport Secretary and military logistics support, this can provide a useful Christmas present of vehicles to Ukraine.
-
4x4s are valuable for mobility in winter conditions, including getting supplies to soldiers on the front lines.
-
Older UK vehicles are easily maintained and less vulnerable to Russian drones than military vehicles.
-
Rather than scrapping these vehicles, extending their lives by sending them to Ukraine fighting for Europe's security is worthwhile, even if some environmentalists object.
