M163 Vulcan Air Defense System (VADS)....what Ukraine really needs for its frontline forces!

Ukraine makes demands for top of the line weapon systems. Why? If we have gear laying around that could be of use NOW, without having to deplete our own stocks of top line gear to protect our own nation, yet still provide them with what they need then why aren't we shoving that down their throats. The M163 Vulcan comes to mind.

According to Wiki we made almost 700 of them.  They would make mincemeat out of low, slow flying drones and provide the capability they need NOW!

Instead it appears that Zelensky has a shopping list and wants the latest and greatest.

Meanwhile Russia is making use of any and everything in their arsenal.

It's almost like this isn't a fight to win but instead of fight for the sake of fighting.
