The Russian obsession with the Lancet drone is hilarious. It's the only piece of modern equipment that they can brag about, so they never miss an opportunity to highlight it lol. Here is the reality, the loss of a single Buk1 system is not detrimental to Ukraine's air defense. When you start...

Two things. 1). It's going to take a while for these Abrams to get into Ukrainian service because the U.S. has to strip them down of their depleted uranium armor and some of their highly advanced systems that they don't want the Russians to get their hands on. They'll be replaced by lesser...

36x F-16s + 40x upgraded Mig-29s from Poland and Slovakia would be a really nice addition. The inventory of available Mig-29s would probably double from where it is now and the Ukrainians already know how to fly them. Meanwhile, the F-16's would bring weapons such as JDAMs and air launched...

No, I sincerely doubt they will. I suspect they'll be sent with standard 120mm Sabot and HE rounds, but I could be wrong! it would be nice because they'll absolutely demolish Russian T-72s and T-80s with depleted uranium.

Canada has made it official that they will send an initial batch of 4 Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine, a smaller number similar to what Portugal is going to send. https://globalnews.ca/news/9438332/canada-leopard-tanks-ukraine/ We're now getting a bigger picture two of what Ukraine's two new...

Official release from U.S. DoD on the first 31 Abrams tanks + supply and support vehicles being sent to Ukraine. The total value of the package is $400 million USD...

We're already upgrading a bunch of our LAV III's to LAV 6.0's. We'll also purchase new LAV 6.0s to supplement the force. The needs for MBTs has definitely not a normal thing for Canada, however, we've been caught unprepared before. When we went to Afghanistan, our Leo 1 tanks were in shambles...

We have 20 Leopard 2A6Ms and approximately 44-45 Leopard 2A4's. Canada has had a substantial maintenance issue with its tanks, however, and doesn't have a lot of them in fantastic shape. I'd be genuinely surprised if we were willing to send any more than 6-8 tanks (similar to Norway) and they...

Not to mention, they had to withdraw from the entirety of the Kyiv region, the entirety of the Kharkiv region and the majority of the Kherson region because they overextended and were getting massacred, while they they ran out of supplies due to horrendous logistics. Yes, they're doing better...

Per the New York Times (quoting a source close to the situation), the Biden administration will send an initial batch of 30-50 M1A1 Abrams MBTs to Ukraine and the decision could be shared as soon as this week. However, The United States tends to announce military aid packages for Ukraine every...

That's fair! Thanks for the correction.

I suspect that we'll be looking at roughly the following in terms of initial Leopard 2 donations... Germany: 15× (2A6) Rheinmetall: 22× (2A4) Poland: 14x (2PL) Spain: 8x (2A4) Finland: 8× (2A4) Sweden: 8x (2A4) Norway: 6x (2A4) Slovakia: 15x (2A4) Czech Republic: 15x (2A4) I'll be surprised if...

It appears as if we're about to see an American / German agreement to send both Leopard 2 and M1A1 Abrams MBTs to Ukraine. Apparently, a coalition of countries, in combination with German industry, are ready to send 100 Leopard 2's to Ukraine. The Americans are going to send approximately 100...

More details have emerged about Estonia's recent military package to Ukraine. Estonia announced that they are sending ALL of their FH70, 155mm howitzers, D30, 122mm howitzers, thousands of rounds of ammunition for, as well as hundreds of M2 Carl Gustav, anti-armor weapons (along with...

I'll believe British and American intelligence figures on the amount of Russians casualties (KIA + WIA) over any source connected to Russia. Historically, WIA to KIA ratio is about 3 to 1 in almost every war. If I had to bet, I'd say Russia probably has about 40K KIA and another 100+K WIA. The...

Cyprus is willing to send its 82 upgraded T-80U and T-80UK tanks to Ukraine, if the West will backfill them with Leopard 2 tanks. The West has also requested that Cyprus send their 43 BMP-3s to Ukraine, as well as their 6 Tor-M1 air defense systems and whatever quantity of Buk M1-2 air defense...

Per the New York Times, Ukraine has recaptured 54% of the land that Russia has occupied during this invasion. It's cost Russia close to 150,000 casualties (WIA / KIA) and thousands of missiles, tanks, IFVs, dozens of helicopters and jets... And they've taken less than 50km of land since the...

There is no rush to announce the transfer of Leo 2s to Ukraine anyways, because what's most important is that training on them be completed. That training has already been greenlit and will start in the coming weeks. At some point we know that Poland, Finland, Sweden, Spain, etc are going to...

I'd gladly trade the destruction of 100, stored, Abrams tanks (and sadly, the death of their brave crews) for the miserable lives of tens of thousands more Russian invaders. The Russians are not our friends. I'm happy to trade my tax money for their lives, as long as Ukraine is willing to keep...

We've started to see 120mm, 81mm and 60mm mortars be announced for Ukraine to the front, as well as much needed 105mm artillery that can handle infantry advances at short ranges. As an example, since December 21st (one month) USA has announced 3 aid packages to Ukraine. Those 3 aid packages...
