North Macedonia has a total or 12 MI-24 attack helicopters, 8 of which are currently grounded (with no plans of ungrounding them) due to a lack of spare parts and cost of overhaul. I'd like to see those helicopters go to Ukraine, even if Ukraine has to use money from the European security...

Latvia has approved another $74 million in military aid for Ukraine, with no specific details about the aid given at this point. This announcement has now brought the Latvian contribution to $392 million, more than 1% of their GDP. That's an enormous amount for a small country. For...

Poland 🇵🇱 was going to send their Mig-29s eventually. I suspect that they've already sent a couple of them in the form of "spare parts", earlier in the conflict, but they should still have 20+ left. Hopefully, Slovakia 🇸🇰 will follow suit and send their 11 Mig-29s as well, as they discussed...

They already have. Absolutely no doubt about it. Whether they've denied it or not. Pakistani ammunition has absolutely arrived in German ports, destined for Ukraine. Britain also flew numerous flights, with C-17's, full of Pakastani ammunition, to Romania and Poland. Pakistan is ABSOLUTELY...

It's not about paying what they're worth. Pakistan needs Western "aid" and badly needs foreign currency to circulate in their system . Send it in the form of an overpayment for 200 MBTs. "We'll pay $1.5 million for each tank, with spare parts and ammunition. For every tank you sell us, it comes...

Oh yeah, Pakistan is desperate. Their economy is in shambles. They've also moved more in the direction of co-building tanks with China. Those Chinese model tanks make up the bulk of their tank forces. If I'm the West, forget 44 of their T-80s. They were originally sold 320 of them by Ukraine in...

Per a Pakistani media source, Pakistan 🇵🇰 has agreed to sell Ukraine 44 T-80UD MBTs, in exchange for cash from the West. No news yet on who is financing the purchase, but this wouldn't be the first time that Pakistan has sold weapons to the West, destined for Ukraine. Previously, they've sold...

Make no mistake, Ukraine is losing a lot as well, but not nearly as much as Russia. The Russians are throwing everything they have into the grinder, while Ukraine practices defense in depth, from deeply established, easily re-suppliable positions. Ukraine is also getting a lot of help from...

I hate to inform you of this, but Russia is getting their teeth kicked in right now, by all available evidence. 1. The overwhelming majority of Russia's best troops are already KIA, WIA or MIA. They've had entire brigades of their very best forces made combat ineffective because of catastrophic...

We're getting more details about the absolute hell the Russians are facing around Bakhmut. Not only have they lost ten's of thousands In their attempt to take the city, Ukraine is slowly withdrawing from the city, while flanking the Russians in the north and fixing Wagner positions with high...

They're training on them in Britain, right now. They've release several videos of them training lately. The truth is that Ukraine really isn't lacking artillery pieces right now, so there isn't a huge rush to get them in country. What they're lacking is sufficient ammunition to fire 10,000+...

Posted that one yesterday! 28 is a nice upgrade.

Update on the number of artillery pieces donated to Ukraine by its allies. This list will not be fully comprehensive because some countries simply refuse to disclose donations and quantities of donated items, but this is what we know. This list also does not include rocket artillery or MLRS...

Everyone is self-interested. We in the West did not care about Georgia, and especially, about Chechnya. We care about Ukraine for a couple reasons. 1). It's the largest country in Europe by landmass. We don't want Russia regaining such a large piece of territory on NATO's border with Poland...
