Belgium 🇧🇪 has committed to sending Ukraine $665 million usd worth of military aid in 2024. The military aid will consist of tanks (being refurbished in Germany), artillery shells (as part of the EU commitment), ammunition, uniforms, etc.

Of course the appropriate response would be to completely flatten another evacuated neighborhood and any key sustainment infrastructure in Gaza in response. War is extremely ugly. Every time the enemy has success against you, the way you show respect for their effort is unleashing unrelenting...

Much easier said than done. Although this does represent an opportunity to deeply diminish Iran's regional / global power. Naturally, they're going to be stretched really thin if they want to support all of HAMAS, Hezbollah and the Houthis simultaneously, and "big brother" Russia has its hands...

Not a fan of the direct use of poisonous / toxic gas. Things like mustard gas are outlawed by the Geneva Conventions for obvious reasons. That said, I don't expect the IDF to go down in the tunnels either. My preferred method to chase HAMAS out of the tunnels would be... 1. To set segments of...

Poland's 🇵🇱 President, Donald Tusk is in Kyiv visiting Ukraine. A new military aid package for the Ukrainians has been announced, however, the details of the package have not yet been disclosed. More importantly, however, Poland and Ukraine have signed an agreement allowing ongoing, direct...

The sad reality is that USA has more than 2500 Bradleys in storage and has 700 A4 models on order, with an open order to double that number if need be. USA sent Ukraine 186 Bradleys, of which, 60-70 have been damaged and or destroyed, but they've been fantastic in their "tip of the spear"...

If you genuinely feel disrespected by somebody (in this case me) typing "lol", then I apologize. No disrespect intended. That said, it seems like a silly thing to take personally. But I digress... Pakistan 🇵🇰 had absolutely no problem getting get PGMs through Iran's defense network in...

France 🇫🇷 has released compressive details regarding some of the military aid they will donate / provide to Ukraine throughout 2024. Below are the details. 78 additional CAESAR, 155mm howitzers: It was announced today that Ukraine purchased 6 additional CAESARS for immediate delivery. French...

USA 🇺🇸 will provide Ukraine with 17 "FrankenSAM" systems, using Soviet era BUK and KUB SAM platforms, retrofitted to fire RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missiles. The U.S. has hundreds of surplus sea sparrows that have been made obsolete by newer "evolved Sea Sparrow" missiles. With a range of approximately...

My hunch from yesterday has been confirmed. France 🇫🇷 will send several hundred AASM GPS guided kits, along with 500lb bombs to Ukraine. These units are very similar to JDAMs and will allow Ukraine increased ability to strike Russian positions at the front with accuracy and significance.

The European Union 🇪🇺 is now confident that they will finalize a deal with Victor Orban and Hungary in the next few weeks that will see Orban lift his VETO, allowing the 50 Billion Euro aid package to Ukraine to pass in short order. Orban is expected to get some EU concessions in return, but...

So much for Slovakia 🇸🇰 not sending any additional weapons to Ukraine. It turns out (as I thought) it was simple grandstanding by Prime Minister Robert Fico, because Slovakia didn't have much left in its inventories that it could afford to donate. That said, Slovak Parliament voted to allow...

France 🇫🇷 announced a new military aid package for Ukraine today. The details of the package include the following... - 40 Additional SCALP-EG cruise missiles. - " Several hundred" aviation bombs. No word on exactly which aviation bombs will be sent, but Ukraine has wanted French AASM, GPS...

Lol... Russia's S-400 / S-300 network, supported by Pantsir's and older systems have repeatedly failed in Crimea to to intercept small quantities of SCALP-EG / Storm Shadow. In fact, S-400 / S-300 have proven incapable of saving even themselves when overwhelmed by a combination of Ukrainian...

They don't need to be willing to pay a very high price if the goal is simply to do substantial damage to Iran's military. We're not talking about invasion. We're talking about destroying key Iranian weapons facilities, air bases, etc by way of TLAMs and JASSMs.

Lol at the IRGC posturing again, by "retaliating" against U.S. missile attacks by firing near a U.S. base. Just another attempt at saving face for their own populace and the neighboring countries that respect them... In reality, they know that a strike on a U.S. base in the region that kills...

What they need to support the left bank is fairly obvious and it's largely contigent on the U.S. passing it's $61 billion usd aid package. Additional ATACMS: USA has some 350'ish of the older model M39 rocket with 160km range. They have an additional 1200'ish of the M57 rocket with a unitary...

Per the Institute For The Study of War... Ukraine produced 50,000 FPV drones in the month of December, 2023. That total is expected to rise to 83,000 per month throughout 2024, with a total of nearly 1 million FPV drones assembled domestically in 2024. 200 Ukrainian companies are now involved...

I've seen numerous sources confirming the loss of the A-50. If it is true, which it appears to be, it will mark the single biggest strategic asset loss to the Russian military since the sinking of the Moskva and the destruction of the Rostov-on-Don. Strategic level asset loss is an enormous blow...

Very interesting development. Ecuador 🇪🇨 and the United States 🇺🇸 have agreed on a deal in which Ecuador will send USA $200 million usd worth of Soviet era weapons to USA, for transfer to Ukraine, in exchange for $200 million usd worth of American made weapons. The specific details of the deal...
