New arms packages for Ukraine announced at the NATO summit. Britain 🇬🇧 announced that they are sending Ukraine a package that includes the following... - 70 combat vehicles of an unspecified type. - An unspecified quantity of logistics vehicles. - Thousands of tank rounds for Challenger 2...

Turkey is not getting F-35s while they own Russian made S-400 SAM systems. Any reasonable person fully understands why that's an enormous liability given how many countries are going to be employing the F-35 as their front line fighter for years to come. Turkey would already have F-35s if they...

I really want to see the United States make a couple key weapons sales to Turkey, such as the new F-16s they badly want (and deserve in my opinion). In return, if I were the Americans, I would request the following package be sent to Ukraine. Turkey absolutely can do it, as I'll explain...

Updated list of important Western armor / artillery donated to Ukraine. I've included the numbers damaged / destroyed via picture evidence according to Oryx. Main Battle Tanks Leopard 2A4/5/6/R: 92 donated (11 damaged / destroyed) Abrams M1A1: 31 donated (0 damaged / destroyed) Challenger...

The United States 🇺🇸 had a stockpile of 3 million cluster munitions that they have little use for. Digging into that stockpile will help them bridge the time needed for Europe and and The United States to further ramp up 155mm, 105mm, 152mm and 122mm artillery shells production. South Korea 🇰🇷...

New military aid package for Ukraine from Germany 🇩🇪 has been announced. The package is worth $600 million Euros and contains the following.... - 2x Additional Patriot launchers - 40x Additional Marder 1A3 IFV - 25x Leopard 1A5 MBT - 5x Bergepanzer 2 ARV - 25,000 155mm artillery shells - 1x...

The boss move would be for Turkey to give Ukraine 24 Firtina, 155mm howitzers and sell them an additional 48 more at an agreed upon price. Then South Korea could transfer 12 K9s to backfill part of the Turkish donation, without directly sending any weapons onto the battlefield. Ukraine 🇺🇦 gets...

According to the Wall Street Journal, Poland 🇵🇱 recently (and quietly) transferred 10 MI-24 Attack helicopters to Ukraine. With the Czech 🇨🇿 news that they'll also be handing over 6-10 MI-24s to Ukraine, it's obvious that Ukraine wants to get more tactical air support involved at the front...

Some video updates from the last couple days. As you can see, everything is going as planned for Putin and the Russian military is performing exceptionally well... Russian BM-27 Uragan and supporting equipment destroyed near Zaporizhia.... https://mstdn.social/@noelreports/110678191081062230...

What a huge day for Ukraine in the equipment department. News that EU 🇪🇺 USA 🇺🇸, Italy 🇮🇹, Turkey 🇹🇷, Czech Republic 🇨🇿 Slovakia 🇸🇰 and Germany 🇩🇪 are providing additional military aid, all dropped within the same 12 hours. For those that missed it, here is a collection of what was announced...

Ukraine has likely suffered close to 150,000 casualties (WIA, KIA, MIA and POW) since the outset of the war. I'd say the range is probably 120,000-160,000. They've also lost a lot of armor, artillery and aircraft Namely, at least the following... MBTs: 700-900 IFVs / AFVs: 800-1000 APCs /...

Poland 🇵🇱 would just send more Krab 155's or Dana 152's if anything. Ukraine already uses both systems and placed a big order for additional Krabs with Poland last year. Makes more sense for them... That said, Poland is also supplying 24 M120 RAK self-propelled mortars. It's hard to ask much...

The United States can easily send 500-700 of them. They have several thousand M2 ODS models that they are phasing out, with the new M4 taking their place. It's costly to store them. Might as well send them to Ukraine, they're already paid for. They'll continue to send them in battalion sized...

USA 🇺🇸 has announced a new, $800 million. USD aid package for Ukraine. The package is robust and contains some new capabilities. - 32x Bradley M2 ODS IFV - 32x Stryker APC - 31x M109 Howitzers - PAC 2 / 3 Patriot Missiles - AIM-7 air defense Missiles - 155mm artillery shells - 155mm DCIPM...

Italy 🇮🇹 will send additional M109-L Howitzers to Ukraine. You can see them being prepared to be shipped here. Italy had 221 M109-L in service, however, they retired them in favour of the Panzerhaubitze 2000. They previously donated 60 M109-L to Ukraine and have 160'ish left in storage. It's...

He was running out into the road anyways, they should have pushed him out in front of the convoy, rather than pulling him back from it... Problem solved.

Czech Republic 🇨🇿 will send an unknown number of MI-24 attack helicopters to Ukraine, with 100,000 pieces of "large calibre ammunition". Nice little donation from the Czechs! https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/czechia-ukraine-helicopters-help-train-082148654.html

If you think Russia has 20,000 MBTs in reserve that can be fielded in this war... Then I have a bridge in New York to sell you. Here is the real story. Russia had between 10,000-12,000 tanks at the start of the war, including those active and in reserve. Those numbers have been accumulated by...

The U.S. has 3 million of them in storage and no real use for them. Might as well send them to Ukraine and let them rain hell down on the Russians with them. 1. They're already paid for and will cost extra to be decommissioned if they're not donated and used. It's literally cheaper to send them...

F-22 was / is so advanced and ahead of what the U.S. adversaries have, that they built enough of them and don't need anymore. Between F-22 and F-15EX, the U.S. will continue to have the best air superiority fighters in the world for some time. Storm Shadow was a capability gap weapon, created...
