It was rumored earlier in the conflict, so it wouldn't shock me, at all, if Turkey is supplying weapons quietly. We know about Bayraktar drones, BMC Kirpi APCs and the rumored use of TRLG-230s last summer... I don't have proof, but this seems to be in line with Turkey's past donations.

Italy 🇮🇹 has now, quietly, sent upwards of 60× M109L howitzers to Ukraine. The first batch were sent in 2022. A video emerged recently of another substantial batch being sent, after being upgraded by Italian industry.

Far bigger news than a soldier (sadly) being beheaded... South Korea 🇰🇷 has agreed to "lend" the United States 🇺🇸 500,000 155mm artillery shells. South Korea has made it clear that it doesn't want their shells going to Ukraine, but what this does is backfill American inventories so that they...

It was noted recently that Poland 🇵🇱 is selling Ukraine more weapons. It appears the complete package will include... - 200 Rosomak APCs - 24 M120 Rak self-propelled mortars - 100 Piorun MANPADS - Undisclosed numbers of heavy trucks to carry mortars. - undisclosed numbers of BMP-1 IFVs.

Denmark 🇩🇰 confirmed that they will be sending (in agreement with Germany and The Netherlands) 100 refurbished, Leopard 1A5 tanks to Ukraine. These tanks were sold to a private Germany company and will now be bought back to send to Ukraine as infantry support vehicles. Germany is also rumored...

Videos like the ones released by the Russians today do nothing to help their cause. It doesn't intimidate the Ukrainians, it emboldens them to fight to the death rather than be captured and it causes them to respond in ruthless fashion against the invaders. How many times do you think Ukrainian...

Ukraine is reportedly training 9 assault brigades for their imminent counter offensive. It has been noted that 6 of those brigades will feature armor that has been donated by Ukraine's allies. It's expected that these 6 brigades will be a combination of conventional armored brigades, as well as...

That's a quality amount of weaponry purchased from the Poles. I'll be really curious to know the final cost and the estimated delivery schedule. I'd be curious to know how many items, if any, are able to be delivered in 2023.

Of course the Russians are going to keep working towards victory and employing whatever weapons they can. They can't afford to lose this war. I'm afraid it's all for not though, as long as Ukraine maintains staunch Western support. When you see the types of packages the USA 🇺🇸 announced today...

New USA military package for Ukraine worth $2.6 Billion USD. This is an enormous package of goodies, that reinforces numerous capabilities and adds some new ones. Here is what the packages consists of. Hint, it very much looks like the type of package you would announce ahead of an offensive...

That's a reasonable take by Milley. Russia has north of 300,000 military personnel in the occupied regions of Ukraine, The West would have to be training 3-4x more Ukrainian personnel and commit to doing so for multiple years, in order for Ukraine to produce the necessary manpower to simply push...

USA 🇺🇸 to announce new, $2.6 Billion military aid package for Ukraine on Monday. More to follow!

Since the outset of the conflict the Russian simps have been routinely claiming that the West is not only greatly exaggerating the quantity of Russian armor that Ukraine has destroyed, but also that we've all been exaggerating the effectiveness of systems such as the Western made Javelin and...

By now we all know what Western MBTs and IFVs have been slated for Ukraine and will / have arrive in the coming months. As a quick recap, below will be the newly supplied equipment largely used Ukraine's next offensive... Main Battle Tanks / Tank Destroyers 31 Abrams M1A1 (USA) 28 Challenger 2...

You need not worry about the West. A smaller number of banks are truly struggling. Most will be fine. Russia on the other hand, is a complete disaster. Not only do a significant portion of their people live in poverty, 20-25% of their population still doesn't have indoor plumbing. In many...

Happy to see this as I was posting about wanting to see it happen a couple weeks ago... North Macedonia 🇲🇰 is donating its 12, MI-24 attack helicopters to Ukraine. Ukraine already flies the MI-24n but these will add to the fleet. My understanding is that some number of these helicopters are...

Yes, this is closer to a master list of what HAS arrived and has been promised / purchased. Of course, my list is what is expected to arrive in Ukraine in the first half of 2023 (between January and July). Many of the weapons that you accurately listed, won't arrive in Ukraine until the back...

If Ukraine can use the MI-24's as nothing more than parts for their existing fleet, it's still a big help. Hours add up on each air frame and parts wear out. Also, North Macedonia is likely to have some of the weapons that they use as well. Sending those alongside the air frames would keep...
