    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Much of the stuff you're talking about hasn't even made it into the country yet lol. Just because a system has been announced, it doesn't mean it's actively being fielded. Ukraine has 2-3 of the now 9 promised NASAMS batteries. The rest had to be produced and the Ukrainians had to be trained how...

    We don't recognize them enough but man has Estonia pulled their weight in the effort to supply Ukraine with weapons. Good for them! Reports indicate that they just donated another 10 FH 70, 155mm howitzers, 10 D30, 122mm howitzers, hundreds of RPGs, an unspecified number of Carl Gustav ATGMs...

    Mobility really is the key to tank hunting and the HMMWV with a TOW system is one of the cheapest, most effective ways to quickly engage an harass tanks. The maximum effective range of the TOW missile is 4500m, the same maximum claimed range as a T-72 tank. The key is that a TOW missile, by...

    The USA also admitted to allocating $100 Million to the training of Ukrainians pilots. They kept the timeline, airframe and other details purposely vague, but let's be honest here, it's already in the works. Here's the thing, if we know it's happening in some capacity, so does the Kremlin. But...

    Hahahahaha this is the most comical thing I've ever read. 12,000 casualties for Russia? Bahahahaha U.S. General General Mark Milley had this to say yesterday at Ramstein. "In terms of casualties, you know, the numbers of casualties in war are always suspect in --- but I would tell you that...

    Leopard 2 MBTs are going to make their way to Ukraine in the next couple months, alongside British Challenger 2 MBTs. The writing is on the wall. A Western Tank Company consists of 14 MBTs. There are 4 companies in a Battalion (56 tanks total). I think that you'll eventually see a slew of...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    It's a very simple concept that would benefit all three countries. Let me explain. Germany is reluctant to send their Leopard 2 tanks (of which they have a healthy number in storage) to Ukraine at this time. Turkey already fields the leopard 2 as their most advanced main battle tank (Altay will...

    Heading into Ramstein tomorrow, here is a comprehensive list of all the Western equipment promised to / delivered to Ukraine thus far in 2023 (January). Note that I did not include equipment that was bought months ago, and has previously been noted (such as Polish Krabs and German Panzerhaubitze...

    Details of the American, $2.5 Billion Package For Ukraine has been announced and it's another substantial weapons load. It's evident that they're preparing Ukraine for a significant offensive. Between this package and the one the Americans announced two weeks ago, they've now committed 2 full...

    You can add an additional 18 M109A6 Paladins the that list. USA will likely announce them tomorrow, bringing the total they've committed to 36. Also, while not self propelled, the 120-130'ish M777s and the 20-30 FH70's that Ukraine has left in their inventory (after some were destroyed) are also...

    Nothing on the battlefield is invincible. Not even close. But the Abrams is an enormous upgrade (range, sensors, systems) than the MBTs Ukraine currently has. Russia's most common MBT is the T-72. That makes up the majority of the tanks they're using in Ukraine. Abrams outranges all models of...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    I've long said that I think Turkey should send 100 upgraded M60A3 Pattons to Ukraine. Germany (financed through 3rd party countries that don't have tanks to send) should then backfill Turkey with 30-50 Leopard 2's (in a swap), as long as the Turks are willing to wait a year or so for them to be...

    Britain 🇬🇧 has also announced that it will send 600 Brimstone missiles to Ukraine. Brimstone missiles have a range of 20-60km depending on the variant. They're exceptionally accurate and will be able to supplement GMLRS and GLDSB.

    I just came to post this. 19 CAESARS is an enormous donation. That's an entire battalion of self propelled artillery, to go along with the battalion (18) of M109A6 Paladins that the U.S. will announce tomorrow, the 12 Archers that Sweden announced this morning and the 8 AS-90 that Britain...

    This is a perfect opportunity for the West to completely outfit 2 new battalions (1400 men) with Western equipment between announcements today and tomorrow. The key is to have Finland, Estonia, Netherlands, Norway and Denmark combine to match the Swedish donation of 50 CV90s, bringing the total...

    I still think it's going to be a little while until we see Abrams' and Leopards announced for Ukraine, largely for logistical / support reasons. I do think it's coming eventually, but right now it's not the focus of the West. At the moment, I believe the West's focus is the following. 1). The...
