Sweden 🇸🇪 has announced a signed agreement with artillery shell manufacturer Nammo to increase artillery shell production for Ukraine. No details regarding the numbers associated with the agreement were released...

A-10's are just such an easy target in modern warfare. There is a reason the USA 🇺🇸 is phasing them out quickly (age of airframe not withstanding). There are moder. Helicopter platforms with much better CAS capabilities, IMO, although I acknowledge that they're not likely to make their way into...

More information regarding the $255 million usd worth of drones that Britain 🇬🇧 will send Ukraine. The package will consist of drones numbering in the "tens of thousands" and they will be assembled in both Britain and Ukraine. The drones will be broken down into 3 categories.... - Long range...

I'm not going to sit behind a screen and pretend that I know what Ukraine needs more than their military does, but I can't see a reality in which A-10s would be at all survivable in the current landscape, for the same reason that both Ukraine and Russia have been losing SU-25s at such an...

Following up on UkroTurk's post above. Britain 🇬🇧 has announced that they will provide Ukraine $2.5 Billion pounds ($3.2 Billion usd) worth of military aid in 2024. Initial deliveries of contents from this new package will begin in in April. The package includes the following... - Unknown...

My contention was / is not that the West will send those quantities of military supplies to Ukraine in 2024, it's simply that they could, at a cost effective price, without sacrificing affecting active military stockpiles at all. Both the American and EU military aid packages are going to pass...

The biggest myth perpetuated is that NATO and the West cannot supply Ukraine with what it needs to fend off Russia, while simultaneously supporting Israel. What the two nations need in terms of war materials are very, very different. What does Ukraine need to fight their war and drain the...

I think the Houthis will continue to try to be a thorn in the side of Israel's Allies, but the Western world / 1st world countries are simply not going to allow important shipping lanes to be held hostage in this day and age. Commerce is too imporant and safe passage for ships is vital to...

Britain 🇬🇧 revealed that the AIM-132 ASRAAM air defense missiles that they have sent to Ukraine are intercepting aerial targets at a 90% success rate. The ground launched ASRAAMs are being fired from an undisclosed number of Supacat HMT mobile launch platforms (essentially a truck with a big...

I'm not suggesting that you're incorrect, but the numbers I'm referencing are accurate from any source I can find. For example, GDOTS in Quebec has a standing contract to produce 3000 domestically made shells per month. Those shells are made exclusively in Canada. They have surge capacity up to...

General Dynamics Ordinance and Tactical Systems Canada is who I was referring to when I noted "General Dynamics". They produce shells in Quebec, Canada. BAE also creates artillery shells in Southern Wales and Northern England. Their operations are not limited to their U.S. based production lines.

Estonia 🇪🇪 announced a commitment of $220 million usd for Ukrainian defense, each year between 2024-2028, totaling $1.3 billion usd. Some people may scoff at that commitment as relatively insignificant, but keep in mind that Estonia is home to little more than 1 million people. That is a...

You are absolutely chasing ghosts my dude. Not only is the Muslim population in the Western world as large as it had ever been and continuing to grow exponentially through immigration, Muslims have largely integrated themselves into Western societies and largely participate as peaceful...

If Ukraine can hang on another 8'ish months, their supply of artillery shells is going to grow exponentially as we move towards 2025. Here is recent breakdown of expanding Western artillery shell production capacity. It will increase substantially throughout 2024, and by 2025 the West's shells...

Ukraine 🇺🇦 should seek peace, only when they as a nation are ready to do so. The West should respect their wishes to make that decision and continue to support them as much as possible in their destruction of the Russian army in the meantime. It's costing us pennies on the dollar (compared to...

Are you done? 29,000 bombs dropped. 24,000-25,000 lives lost. Objectively, one of the smallest figures we've seen in any modern war involving an air campaign against urban centers. There is nothing even CLOSE to a genocide happening in Gaza. If Israel wanted to kill 1 million+ Palestinians they...

Nobody (at least not me) said there wasn't. We're watching the narrative change in real time, however, as anybody with even half a brain on their shoulders understands that if Israel was actually attempting anything close to a genocide they would have accomplished far more killing after dropping...

Hard to find anything approximating an offcial number, but from the variety of sources I've seen, Israel has likely suffered 2000-4000 casualties (KIA / severely WIA) since the beginning of their invasion. I've seen highly exaggerated totals coming from Arab / Muslim sources in the region, but...

Japan 🇯🇵 has officially ammended its military equipment export policy in order to ship Patriot air defense missiles to the United States, allowing the Americans to dig deeper into their own stockpiles in support of Ukraine. Japanese industrial powerhouse, Mitsubishi, manufactures Patriot...

BAE announced that they are restarting production of spare parts for the M777 howitizer. They've received a $50 million order from the U.S. Army for undisclosed spare parts. They are now expecting a followup order from the Americans for additional M777 howitzer units...
