You ask how has Russia overun the UAF .
One main cause is that their supplied equipment that costs a fortune is next to useless .
Tanks are literally non starters -- see below .
The same is true for air defence systems but that is a separate report .
Add to that, and you have fifteen year old lads , women and over fifties dying in the trenches , -- and you are seeing a macabre and surreal, sad and horrible joke war being enacted .
I expect madman midget Zelensky to be gone in days , but , in fairness, I have been saying this for the last few weeks . Whether a Zaluzhny replacement can restore a vestige of sanity is debatable but what is happening now is almost beyond words
Below from Simplicius the Thinker on Substack .
Meanwhile, things continue to go poorly—or outright collapse—for Ukraine. In the last report I had conveyed how much of their Western equipment no longer works; Ukrainian soldiers themselves complained that Western artillery systems are not built for war, their barrels have all worn out, etc. This extends to Abrams tanks, which were said to be useless as their filters clog up within minutes of fighting, forcing mechanics to constantly change them to prevent the engine suddenly dying.
Now we have new confirmation from German MP Sebastian Schafer that very few of the delivered Leopards even function anymore, as they’ve all “worn out” and Ukraine has no way to repair them:

Very few of the Leopard 2A6 battle tanks given to Ukraine by Germany remain in service, Green Party MP Sebastian Schafer has claimed. Many of the tanks are battle damaged and spare parts are reportedly in short supply, he added. In Ukraine, only a small number of Leopard 2 tanks of the modern A6 modification are used, since independent attempts by Ukrainians to repair them end in even greater breakdowns, and there is a shortage of spare parts in Lithuanian repair shops, said Sebastian Schäfer, a member of the Green party
