I'm not suggesting that you're incorrect, but the numbers I'm referencing are accurate from any source I can find.
For example, GDOTS in Quebec has a standing contract to produce 3000 domestically made shells per month. Those shells are made exclusively in Canada. They have surge capacity up to...
General Dynamics Ordinance and Tactical Systems Canada is who I was referring to when I noted "General Dynamics". They produce shells in Quebec, Canada.
BAE also creates artillery shells in Southern Wales and Northern England. Their operations are not limited to their U.S. based production lines.
Estonia 🇪🇪 announced a commitment of $220 million usd for Ukrainian defense, each year between 2024-2028, totaling $1.3 billion usd. Some people may scoff at that commitment as relatively insignificant, but keep in mind that Estonia is home to little more than 1 million people. That is a...
You are absolutely chasing ghosts my dude. Not only is the Muslim population in the Western world as large as it had ever been and continuing to grow exponentially through immigration, Muslims have largely integrated themselves into Western societies and largely participate as peaceful...
If Ukraine can hang on another 8'ish months, their supply of artillery shells is going to grow exponentially as we move towards 2025.
Here is recent breakdown of expanding Western artillery shell production capacity. It will increase substantially throughout 2024, and by 2025 the West's shells...
Ukraine 🇺🇦 should seek peace, only when they as a nation are ready to do so. The West should respect their wishes to make that decision and continue to support them as much as possible in their destruction of the Russian army in the meantime. It's costing us pennies on the dollar (compared to...
Are you done?
29,000 bombs dropped. 24,000-25,000 lives lost. Objectively, one of the smallest figures we've seen in any modern war involving an air campaign against urban centers. There is nothing even CLOSE to a genocide happening in Gaza. If Israel wanted to kill 1 million+ Palestinians they...
Nobody (at least not me) said there wasn't. We're watching the narrative change in real time, however, as anybody with even half a brain on their shoulders understands that if Israel was actually attempting anything close to a genocide they would have accomplished far more killing after dropping...
Hard to find anything approximating an offcial number, but from the variety of sources I've seen, Israel has likely suffered 2000-4000 casualties (KIA / severely WIA) since the beginning of their invasion. I've seen highly exaggerated totals coming from Arab / Muslim sources in the region, but...
Japan 🇯🇵 has officially ammended its military equipment export policy in order to ship Patriot air defense missiles to the United States, allowing the Americans to dig deeper into their own stockpiles in support of Ukraine. Japanese industrial powerhouse, Mitsubishi, manufactures Patriot...
BAE announced that they are restarting production of spare parts for the M777 howitizer. They've received a $50 million order from the U.S. Army for undisclosed spare parts. They are now expecting a followup order from the Americans for additional M777 howitzer units...
Germany 🇩🇪 announced the delivery of a new military aid package to Ukraine. The contacts of the contents of the package delivered include the following...
- 1x Skynex air defense system
- Skynex Ammunition
- IRIS-T SLM air defense missiles
- 10x Marder IFVs
- 2× TRML-4D air defense radars

This is how the entire world should treat Russia... Like they're a joke. They're not going to start launching nukes so nobody ought to be afraid of them. The world should just start treating them as the unwanted, redheaded stepchild of the world that they are.
One can only hope!!
It would kick the West's ass into getting serious about providing support to Ukraine. Russia is operating on 75% of a war footing anyways, but the West is trying not to escalate the conflict. If Russia just declares war, the West can stop being afraid of being the party...
ASRAAM's as I mentioned earlier. Essentially, a domestically produced AIM-9 Sidewinder. They can be used in both NASAMs and FrankenSAM Buk systems. They can also be fired as air-to-air interceptors by the F-16s that Ukraine will soon get.
USA 🇺🇸 defense contractor Raytheon will continue producing AIM-9X and AIM-9M Sidewinder missiles at maximum capacity, for the foreseeable future. Raytheon will continue building 2500 AIM-9 missiles annually, as Ukraine uses a hight volume of them in their NASAMs and BUK air defense systems...
Britain 🇬🇧 announced today that they will send 200 air defense missiles to Ukraine in response to last night's attack by Russia. The type of missile was not specified, but it's believed to be ASRAAM, which are compatible for Ukraine's NASAMs systems. Each ASRAAM is valued at approximately...
Mass saturation? That's not a new tactic, it's a tried, tested and effective one. Russia launched 122 missiles and 36 drones last night. The attack cost them more than $1 Billion usd. They would do it more often, but they can't. Launching volleys of 100+ missiles on a consistent basis would see...
I suspect that Russia will keep their SU-57s far away from Ukrainian air space, out of sheer terror that they will be yet another Russian weapon that underperforms its Western "equivalent." Patriot systems will likely make quick work of them, and some more Russian aerospace engineers (just like...
New military aid package for Ukraine from USA 🇺🇸 was announced this afternoon. The package is valued at $250 million usd, leaving USA with roughly, $4.15 Billion usd worth of Presidential Drawdown Authority left to use. The contents of the package include the following.
- Additional AIM-9...
