I'd love to see both Turkey and Greece come to an understanding and send a few Leo 2's each. I'm with you that 10 each would be great. Alternatively, Cyprus has been vocal in the fact that they have about 80 T-80U's that they would like to upgrade. Ukraine already uses the T-80 and procuring...

I've mentioned something along this line before, but I think it remains true. In order for Ukraine to be able to go on a lasting offensive that the Russians will struggle to stop, Ukraine will need more Western MBTs, IFVs, APCs and artillery. Now, the artillery is slowly arriving and plans have...

Expect the official fall of Bakhmut pver the next couple days, as Russia pushes from the north and breaks through the last lines of defense, and Ukraine finishes their tactical withdrawal back towards Chasiv Yar and the high ground, where they've been preparing new defensive positions for about...

A critical addition to Ukraine's defense capability is going to be the Switchblade 600 drones that the USA announced in their latest weapons package for Ukraine. Each drone costs roughly $150,000-$200,000 and it has the same warhead as a Javelin missile, made for destroying armor. The drone has...

Croatia is officially sending 14, MI-8 transport helicopters to Ukraine. The process is ongoing and will be completed over the next couple weeks. They helicopters are important to Ukrainian logistics and their ability to move key supplies to areas surrounding the front. Furthermore, it allows...

There would be nothing better for the West than if China decided to do some version of "lend / lease" for Russia and the collective West pulled even 10-20% of our manufacturing back to our collective countries and cut off all Western humanitarian aid to China in response. Their economy is hyper...

I'd like to see Finland up their donation number of Leo 2s. I fully understand their unique position of being right on the Russian border and not yet part of NATO, but they have about 200 Leopard 2 tanks. I'd like to see them commit at least 10 of their Leo 2A4s. They don't have to send their...

Thanks @Woland !! At the time I made my post, the additional Canadian tanks were rumored, but not confirmed, which is why I had them in my "expected deliveries" category, but they've, obviously, now been announced. As for the Sweden Leo 2's, I've made that mistake before and I continue to do...

USA will announce another $2 Billion weapons package for Ukraine tomorrow. The package will come in the form of USAI funds, rather than drawdown authority. I'll provide the full details of the package tomorrow, upon its release.

We're getting a clearer picture of the tank battalions that will be sent to Ukraine in 2023. A Ukrainian tank battalion consists of 31 tanks. This is what the battalions will look like from what we know so far. Battalion #1 (Jan-Feb) 28x T-55 (Slovenia) 3x T-72 (Czech Republic) Battalion #2...

Information regarding more military aid for Ukraine. U.S. President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to Kyiv today and announced a new, $460 million aid package for Ukraine which includes the following: - Undisclosed number of additional GMLRS for HIMARS. - Undisclosed number of additional...

Good for the UK! Whether it's Storm Shadow, or another long range variant, even 100 missiles with range out to 150+km will make a huge difference. Ukraine's goal is to choke the Russian offensive of supplies, and the Russian military leadership has moved many of its weapons and ammunition...

I've been following the production buildup of artillery rounds for Ukraine closely and this is roughly what I've come up with so far. Note that not all production quantities have been released. USA: Their intent is to ramp up to 40,000 rounds of 155mm production per month by this spring (April...

Think about that level of incompetence. More than 200,000 killed in action and significantly wounded, somewhere between 40-55% of their active tanks, more than 50% of their cruise / ballistic missiles, a budgetary deficit that is now growing at $25 Billion per month to because of the cost of the...

Ukraine shot down two Russian aircraft today per their Ministry. Russian Su-24 and Su-25 aircraft were shot down in Ukrainian air space. Russian sources are confirming at least 1 of the shoot downs.
