They should hand it over to the US.

Would it even be useful for the US, other than seeing how trashy and decades behind Russian stuff is?

In exchange for what
2†
The massive amount of armament we've given them for their little problem?
25
Lol, that’s dumb. That’s a geopolitical bargaining chip right there
2†
No one is giving it back to Russia.
Giving it to the US is in Ukraines best interest, and it would be a thank you for all the Intel and weapons we've been sending them.
I guess you haven't seen all the C-130s with Callsign HEIST flying in and out of Poland, but Ukraine has been giving Russian tech to the US since the beginning of the war.

The US with it's huge military industrial complex is probably the only country that can reverse engineer it. Then they can give Ukraine countermeasures that can defend against that, as well as rest of Europe. Send it to Area 51, or Tonopah and let the engineers have at it.

They gave up over thousand nukes for security and teritorial guarantees. Joe biden can bid on ebay this electronic warfarw system.

They were a liabilty they couldnt maintain, deploy or afford.

They gave up over thousand nukes for security and teritorial guarantees.
And the US upheld that agreement. At no point did the US commit to actually come to the defense of Ukraine.

I'd reckon the tens of billions in support we have already or will be giving make for a good trade.

Well it was an agreement between R*ssia and Ukraine.

Finders keepers. Imagine selling something like this on eBay. All the countries, including Russian MOD bidding on it.

Lol the weapons are all produced in the US and help degrade an enemy.
What is the US going to do stop the aid if they don't get this?
1
how about a truck with several harpoon anti ship missiles
20
Ukraine is alive and standing because of the contributions by American advocacy and Intel sharing. I'm sure they'd want a bargain for it but it would be absolutely stupid for the Ukrainians not to help empower their #1 ally which is the US.

For how long ?

Goodwill. And fucking over Russia.

Info on the reverse engineering that Ukraine is in no position to do

Buk, tor, pantsir, mig-29s, S300/400

Reflagged Polish MiG-29's.

Reverse engineering and getting to know its flaws, its actively employed in Ukr, so they need the intel fast.

Those look literally nothing alike short of being green containers.
It is obviously what it claims to be. Look at the pictures.

The shown system has taken damage. (See the warped metal).The antenna is not visible because it looks to be the front side of the command post, and the antenna is kept on the back, retracted when not in use.
The alleged system is a command post, a container towed by a truck. It looks extremely similar to the one shown in the image. We can also see in the photo evidence of human habitation (buried food waste). Of course it would be theoretically possible to fake this, but I can’t really think of any other system possessed by Ukraine that looks similar, and I highly doubt they are making custom fake Krasukha command posts.
It’s a plausible scenario. The emplacement was taking fire, and retreated quickly due to the fact that it is an EW system with no fighting capability. The damaged command post, which is relatively less important (the valuable piece is the actual EW system) was left behind.

Here's how Ukraine can still win:

The US/Western intel services are just getting an absolute feast of info on Russian weapons systems from this war. Hopefully they shot some more hypersonics off at shopping malls or the like, or even better drive one into a muddy field and abandon it/leave it at an exposed air field and forgot to evacuate it in a confused rout.
That hypersonic was fake news. Russian propaganda.
They claimed the impact was in western Ukraine, hitting an underground cache. Instead they showed an explosion on a rural property in the far Eastern area, under Russian control already.
I can hunt around for the link if you can't find it with an easy Google.
I think the headline was "we have some questions about Russia's hypersonic something something..." More or less.

Well done
