It stands to reason that Ukraine is getting low on British and French supplied Stormshadow / SCALP cruise missiles. They only received a limited supply and France and Britain don't have immense stocks of them to send to Ukraine. ATACMS would ensure that Ukraine would continue to possess an...

Lol... Russia has been using depleted uranium rounds since the outset of the war. The USA did not introduce them into the theater.

First loss of a Challenger 2 MBT in combat! Another reminder that nothing is invincible in war and that we have to keep the influx of weapons for Ukraine up, because losses are inevitable! Britain has a couple hundred more Challenger 2 and doesn't plan to upgrade them all to Challenger 3...

This is a silly notion. The West is not going to send their top of the line anything to Ukraine, so that Russia can better / fully understand the capabilities of those weapons. That has nothing to do with "not caring" about Ukraine. That's all about geostrategic decisions. By the way, those same...

"The armed forces will receive 1,500 tanks in 2023. This number will also include modernized vehicles removed from storage," I'd be willing to bet significant money that Russia comes nowhere close to producing / refurbishing 1500 mbts in 2023. The year is more than half over and there is no...

I hope he does a wonderful job of procuring military help from the West for his country!

The "hope" you keep referencing is simply not true. Russia is taking extreme measures right now to keep liquidity within their system and to stop the Ruble from collapsing even further. The Ruble has lost more than 20% of its value vs the USD. Significant inflation is a real problem right now...

Their GDP will grow a little bit, but is falling behind their rivals, significantly. The Russian deficit is also going to balloon this year. They're expected to spend north of $200 Billion usd this year, after Putin signed a military spending bill of $52 Billion usd for 2023. Combined with...

Perfect! The more money Russia has to spend on expensive military equipment destroyed by cheap drones, the greater their deficit grows and the less money they can afford to spend elsewhere. Keep in mind that Russia does not have a large economy. They have a really small GDP and the people are...

The United States 🇺🇸 will announce another military aid package to Ukraine next week. The package's value may be as high as $375 million usd according to a source. The package will consist of a variety of goodies, but notable among them are 120mm M829A2 depleted uranium rounds for M1A1 Abrams...

Per Politico it has been confirmed that Ukraine will receive the first 10 of the USA's pledged 31 M1A1 Abrams MBTs in September. It appears Ukraine will receive the tanks in two batches of 10 and one batch of 11, throughout the fall. The West is doing a nice job of making timely deliveries to...

More news on weapons deliveries for Ukraine... Britain 🇬🇧 has delivered 23 Scimitar Mark II AFVs to Ukraine. They have several hundred of these units in storage and are going to modernize them and send them in batches. Australia 🇦🇺 will donate 160 Slinger anti-drone systems to Ukraine...

Interesting article from David Axe at Forbes, who has been doing an excellent job of covering the details of equipment deliveries to Ukraine. Per Axe, Ukraine's experienced 93rd Brigade has rotated to the rear to train on the use of Swedish CV90 IFVs. Sweden publically donated 50 CV90s to...

Ukraine is losing what you would expect to lose on the offensive and is having it backfilled, accordingly, from Western stocks. If you lose 20 IFVs and 20 MBTs in one sector, over a week, they must be replaced in order to keep up the offensive.

New military aid package for Ukraine from Germany 🇩🇪... The package has been announced as delivered. - 10 Leopard 1A5 MBTs - 1 TRML-4D RADAR for IRIS-T - 16 Vector Reconnaissance Drones - 4 Heavy Trucks - 4 Heavy Trailers - 13.1 million rounds of mixed ammunition. Note: This is the second...

Russia is absolutely panicking down there. Ukraine has caused soooo much attrition to their artillery in the south over the last 3 months and Russians have no clue how to fight a war without simply using artillery to destroy a settlement before trying to capture it. They're such low skilled...

This general is an obese clown... Like seemingly 90% of Russian military leadership. What an embarrassing slob. 🤡 By his logic, I guess the West should supply all the munitions neccessary for Ukraine to flatten Minsk in Belarus, considering they've been allowing Russia to attack Ukraine from...

Hopefully they can keep this up. Continually sending swarms of cheap drones (by the dozens and hundreds) to strike Russian airfields and important infrastructure, makes this war incredibly costly for the Russian military and better yet, the Russian tax payers. Their economy is showing signs of...
