USA is producing roughly 60 "Frankensam" systems for Ukraine, combining existing BUK air defense systems with U.S. Sea Sparrow missiles and an unknown air defense system with AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. A few are in use, but according to the NYT, roughly 60 of the "Frankensam" units will be...

Of course they do! They've been preparing for this war with Israel for two years per reports. They've not only stolen / re-purposed a huge chunk of aid that the West has sent Palestine, they've also received weapon's funding and training from Iran. They're not going to simply lay down and die...

The frustrating thing for the Palestinian people is that all forms of aid will have to go through both Israel and Hamas, which means a lot of things will not be permitted to enter Gaza by the IDF, and many of those things that will be allowed to enter will be stolen by Hamas. As is the case so...

What a hilariously bad post. The EU has provided Ukraine with well over 1 million shells in both NATO and Soviet standard calibers, dating back to the onset of the conflict. The 1 million shells promise from the EU came in late February 2023. The shells were to be delivered over the course of 1...

Ukrainians are choosing to fight for their existence as a nation. That's something easily worth funding, especially given how relatively little it's costing us (the West) to keep them in the fight.

Lol why? The USA still has more than $5 Billion left in Presidential Drawdown Authority and Federal grant authority to provide Ukraine plenty of weaponry throughout the remainder of 2023. They just chose a new Speaker of House and Congress is now negotiating the terms of a new, $61 Billion usd...

It doesn't seem as if this is a full fledged ground invasion yet. It seems like there were attempted negotiations but one (or both) sides didn't find the terms acceptable, so Israel's keeping on with the bombing campaign and starting to trickle armored elements into some areas of Northeastern Gaza.

Lol in the Yom Kippur war they were suprise attacked by a coalition of neighboring countries, aided by multiple expeditionary forces, helped financed by funding across the region. The opposing armies outnumbered the Israeli military substantially and attacked them on a holiday. Not only did they...

Germany 🇩🇪 has announced a new military aid package for Ukraine. The package will include the following... - 1 additional IRIS-T SLM air defense system - TRML-4D RADAR - 4 HX81 Tank Tractors and trailers - IRIS-T air defense missiles - 4 Additional APCS (like Dingo) - 8 Additional Vector...

The EU has agreed to transfer all interest collected on the $180 Billion worth of frozen Russian assets it has in its possession, to Ukraine. In 2023 alone those assets (largely investments) are set to produce $4 billion worth of interest. That $4 billion will be transferred to Ukraine for...

The U.S. is fine. All they have to do is play the role of "bouncer" for Israel and ensure that no other conventional military joins the conflict. They're going to pass a $14.8 billion usd emergency military aid bill for Israel, which, of course, is pennies for them overall when we're talking...

A very small "warning" strike by the U.S. of course, who has a full stockpile of air and sea launched precision munitions available to them, due to the fact that they've given almost no weapons of those categories to Ukraine in their defense against Russia. They'll give the Iranians every...

Quite possible. I'm not going to deny it without any evidence, but I'm also not going to simply believe it because Hamas said it and provided no video evidence to support it. They also said (through the Gaza health ministry) that 500 people were killed in the hospital attack. It appears that...

I mean... They were teamed up against and attacked by a multi-national, surprise force that significantly outnumbered them militarily in 1973... And they systematically kicked in the teeth of their attackers in so substantially that the war was over in less than three weeks, with the attackers...

Any video / photo evidence of the captured soldiers that you can share?

Civilians always seem to get the worst end of these conflicts. I hope they went quickly and without pain and fear.

New Denmark 🇩🇰 aid package for Ukraine in the amount of $500 million usd. Some of the items have been previous hinted towards, but they are now official. Note that the T-72EA MBTs and the BMP-2 IFVs are coming from Czech inventories and Denmark is paying for their refurbishment in the Czech...

New USA 🇺🇸 defense package for Ukraine in the amount of $150 million usd. The package includes the following... - AIM-120 missiles for NASAMS - AIM-9M air defense missiles - GMLRS for HIMARS - 155mm artillery shells - 105mm artillery shells - Javelin anti-armor systems - Stinger air defense...

I said it before and I'll say it again. You got your teeth kicked in by a superior military force, who took those lands from you as a war bounty, when your ancestors chose the wrong side of a conflict. You could have (and still can) go to war with Israel and her allies to take those lands back...

So let's war game what we think happens in the short term if Iranian backed proxies officially join the war and open another substantial front against Israel. Here is my perspective... 1. Rocket barrages into Israel, largely from Lebanon, are intense and lead to significant Israeli casualties...
