Something to watch for in a future military aid package from USA 🇺🇸. We all know that USA 🇺🇸, Canada 🇨🇦 and Australia 🇦🇺 combined to send Ukraine 190 M777 howitzers in 2022. Since then, as expected, they've faced attrition from Russian drone strikes and counter battery fire. According to the...

None of what has happened over the 2 months in Congress has meaningfully slowed down the delivery of aid to Ukraine in any way. The quantity of the items contained in each package has declined, but the delivery schedules of American weapons has not changed. For example, Ukraine received their 31...

This is, obviously, sarcasm correct? Because despite all the "dooming", Ukraine is going to have a $150+ Billion war chest in 2024, substantially higher than they had in either 2022 or 2023. Simultaneously, they'll receive technological upgrades throughout 2024, including, but not limited...

Russian air defenses continue to prove deeply inadequate against modern weapons. Their legacy systems and stand alone units are routinely getting smashed by GMLRS and FPV Drones. Meanwhile, their S-300 and S-400 systems have been victimized by Western cruise missile strikes. There is a reality...

New USA 🇺🇸 military aid package for Ukraine. The package is worth $100 million usd and contains the following... - 1x Additional HIMARS - Additional GMLRS - Additional Stinger AA missiles - Additional 155mm artillery shells - Additional 105mm artillery shells - Additional TOW missiles -...

That comment by Gary is the type of cringy extremism held by many that makes peace in the region so hard to achieve. It's also the exact type of rhetoric that causes Israel and some percentage of their allies in the West to not really care if their tax money is spent on bombs and guided...

New announcements for military aid for Ukraine today. The United States 🇺🇸 announced that they will provide spare parts for Ukrainian F-16s to be repaired with. A multi-national coalition is creating a repair hub in Poland, keeping the aircraft as close to Ukraine as possible for return speedy...

They tried and they got their teeth kicked in. The VKS proved woefully incapable of operating with the Army in a combined arms setting. Essentially, their bombers and fast jets have been reduced to long range standoff platforms. When they try to involve their CAS (SU-25 or KA-52) they start...

The way you differentiate it from a mock Russian village is that you don't see toilets outside, so you know that the dwellings have indoor plumbing. Almost 2024 and 20% of Russians still go to the bathroom outside... What a sad country.

I am skeptical that Ukraine will regain all lost ground. I just don't think that's very realistic, at least in the short term. They've done an amazing job as is of retaking as much ground as they have, causing such significant Russian retreats last year. I am going to continue to focus on the...

Expect to hear it come out soon that South Korea is going to send USA another large batch of artillery shells (500 thousand to 1 million) to backfill U.S. stockpiles, so that the U.S. can continue to aggressively ship their own shells to Ukraine. South Korea's constitution does not allow them to...

As previously reported, USA 🇺🇸 bought Gepard anti-aicraft systems from Jordan 🇯🇴, for donation to Ukraine. We now know that the USA purchased 60 Gepards, for $118 million usd. These 60 systems will play a huge role in Ukraine's air defense, especially against Shahed drones, which they've proved...

Actually, primary CAS for Ukraine right now has come in the form of MI-24 helicopters and FPV drones. Those have been, by far their most consistent CAS platforms as the line of contact.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 has already committed $42 Billion usd towards the war for 2024, a 40% increase on what they spent in 2023. USA 🇺🇸 will, eventually pass the $61 Billion usd that Biden is looking for. Germany 🇩🇪 has committed an additional 8 Billion Euros for 2024. Canada 🇨🇦 will at least match this...

Germany 🇩🇪 will double the amount of military aid to Ukraine that they had initially intended to send in 2024. The original plan for Germany was to send $4 Billion usd in military aid in 2024, but Germany has decided to double the amount of aid that they will send to $8 Billion. Canada 🇨🇦 has...

Some fine dressed ladies and gentlemen! Heck, they even invited some people dressed as wizards. Always interesting to see the apparel choice of people from around the world! We've got some funny dress in our neck of the woods as well!

I'm always shocked by what seems like a lot of money to people that live in that region. $7 billion, seems like so little in the grand scheme of things, similar to the $4 billion USA gives Israel every year. For context, $3.4 Billion worth of trade (goods and services) crosses the USA / Canada...

A Nov 1st Ukrainian 🇺🇦 strike on the Russian command centre in the Dnipro region killed 3 of the command group's most senior officers, according to published Russian obituaries. Colonel Vadym Dobryakov (Deputy Head of the Dnipro Control Centre) Colonel Oleksandr Galkin (Deputy Head of the...

Maybe a 4th would have driven the point home? On a serious note, I'm glad you got out alive!
