Because when you border russia and you let them know that you’ve sent away your limited amount of armored vehicles or other equipment isn’t stratetically wise. Other countries declaring equipment they’ve sent makes sense but for countries bordering russia it would not be wise to let their enemy know what equipment they’ve given up.
NATO can airlift a large amount of medium armor within days to an attacked country, I don’t think this a necessary deception, it is more advantageous to underline the decisive advantage.
True. But strategy depends on available equipment. And it is sometimes wise not to give away one’s strategy.
MRAPs are useful everywhere for virtually everything in Ukraine…
It is not enough to win a war to end it, you must decisively and publicly demonstrate your proof to the neutral international/regional context.
Publicly declaring large amounts of MRAPs donated to Ukraine is itself a process of winning, war is hopelessly political.
