That pundit better be careful of every window he's around. He better be aware of every flight of stairs he traverses. He better be careful of everything he eats and drinks. Don't dare tell the leadership of Mother Russia that things aren't going to plan... Of course they are. They always planned...

The Netherlands will join USA and Germany in sending Patriot Air Defense Systems to Ukraine. The Patriot Pac 3 missiles are important because of not only their range, but also because of their ability to intercept Russian ballistic missiles. Ukraine's ability to intercept drones and cruise...

How embarrassing is it that Admiral Kuznetsov, Russia's failed attempt at an aircraft carrier, is stuck at a pier, yet again, undergoing maintenance? In typical Soviet fashion, that thing is a complete piece of garbage. The only time in it's sad existence that it's ever been involved in combat...

NATO, genuinely, should bomb Belarus to rubble. There are enough NATO aircraft and missile launch locations within 500-700km of the Belarussian border, to turn the sad infrastructure in that country into dust. Russia won't do anything about it, except whine, cry and throw a little girl fit, like...

Nobody would dare believe numbers released by Russia because they release purely delusional, intentionally embellished numbers, purely for propaganda purposes. They have legitimately claimed to have destroyed more items of some equipment than has been sent to Ukraine. It's actually embarrassing...

Russian T-62's = Mostly garbage Russian T-72A / AV / B = Mostly garbage BMP-1 = Garbage MT-LB = Garbage BTR 60 = Garbage A significant amount of the Russian armor that you're so excited about, is trash. Hundreds of pieces were abandoned when the Kharkiv front collapsed. Hundreds more pieces...

Details of the new UK aid package to Ukraine are emerging. 14x Challenger 2 tanks 30x AS-90, 155mm self propelled howitzers (will come in 3 deliveries) 100's of armored vehicles of various types 100,000 artillery rounds 100's of Starstreak air defense missiles 100's of GMLRS ammunition for...

Nearly a year later and you still don't get it. I'll try one more time, but I doubt it's going to make any impact on you. I've come to terms with that reality. The West does not think its equipment is magic, nor does it think that a relatively small number of Western weapons are going to...

Per the UK Prime Minister's Office, Britain not only send the squadron of 14 Challenger 2's that we've been hearing about, but more importantly (and unexpectedly) Britain will send approximately 30, 155mm AS90, self propelled howitzers. This is hugely significant as 30 represents approximately...

So just a recap of some of Western equipment that has been announced for Ukraine recently, and / or is expected to be announced for Ukraine in the next couple weeks. 50x Bradley M2 IFVs (USA) 40x Marder IFVs (Germany) 12x Challenger 2 MBTs (Britain) 12-14x Leopard 2A4 MBTs (Poland) 18x M109A6...

As you noted, a company of Leopard tanks is typically 14 units. Poland has noted that their intent is to send the Leos at part of an international coalition of the willing. Finland, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Portugal, Germany, Canada, Austria, Greece and Turkey, the world is...

I really do hope the Americans send Strykers, because it would open Canada up to do the same. The Stryker is actually built in Canada (in London, Ontario) and we call it the LAV. Canada is in the process of upgrading 600 of them to the LAV 6.0 standard that is currently in production. That said...

Canadian Minister of National Defence, Anita Anand, announced today that Canada will be purchasing a NASAMs air defense battery from the United States and donating it to Ukraine. This will mark the 7th NASAMs promised to Ukraine, with the United States already donating 2 of their own and...

I actually fundamentally agree with this statement. Canada has no geographic concerns about invasion. The only country that could successfully do it and logistically support their invasion to the point of success, is our neighbour's to the south, the U.S. With that in mind, there is nothing...

Nobody with any sense would believe that with the country highly vulnerable to Russian airstrikes (via missile attack) that Ukraine would just stupidly have 600 soldiers hanging out and sleeping in the same dorm. Any sensible person realizes that soldiers are spread out across regions, in...

With the likelihood of Leopard 2 tanks being sent to Ukraine in the near future increasing significantly, let's talk about what a commitment of 150 of them might look like who could reasonably provide them in numbers that are reasonable. Germany: 20 Poland: 20 Spain: 20 Finland: 15 Sweden: 15...

I've been pushing the idea of Turkey sending their upgraded M60s for a while now. They're logistically easy to maintain and still capable against a lot of Russian junk armor. Turkey has more than 700 of them in reserve. Obviously their Leopard 2s and Altays are there Frontline tanks these days.

Exactly. Some of these guys seem to be huffing the hopium/copium cocktail. The Americans not only have 6200 Bradleys, They're in the process of buying 700 more of the newest model. They'll happily give Ukraine several hundred M2 models. Less for them to store. The Brits are phasing out their...

This is a really uninformed take. The reason the USA is sending Sea Sparrow missiles to Ukraine is because they have thousands of them stockpiled and the Ukrainians have retrofitted (with U.S. help) their Soviet made, BUK launchers to fire them. Because they can't get Russian missiles for their...

Zelensky confirming that Scholz and the Germans are sending Ukraine "dozens" (you'd assume at least 3 dozen) Marder IFVs, as well as the previously mentioned Patriot Missiles Battery, to match the American contribution. Merry Christmas Ukraine! Can we get upgraded Slovakian and Polish...
