The Armed Forces of Ukraine showed the work of "high-quality and reliable" NATO shells.

Ukrainian military personnel published video footage of the work of the mortar crew, when the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine still controlled Artyomovsk. In the video, you can see that the Armed Forces of Ukraine, hiding behind urban development, are firing mortar fire, however, we are more likely talking about fire on our own - three of the five shells fired flew only a few meters, and only by a lucky chance for the Ukrainian military, this did not lead to to the victims, since the mines did not explode.

It is noteworthy that we are talking about a mortar and ammunition of the NATO standard, however, the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not at all surprised by such behavior of weapons and shells is also very important. This indicates that such a case is not isolated.

Considering that in the current case the failure rate was 60%, it is more than likely that a similar failure rate can be observed with other projectiles, as well as weapons supplied by the West.
