New USA 🇺🇸 $375 million aid package for Ukraine has been announced. It's clearly a package to support an offensive. - Additional GMLRS for HIMARS. - Additional 155mm shells. - Additional TOW missiles for Bradleys. - Additional Javelin anti-armor systems. - Additional AT-4 anti-armor systems l...

If they are actually getting 45 F-16's, I would image that they'll come slowly, in batches of 10-12, as they are retrofitted for Ukrainian purposes. I can't imagine a reality in which 45 F-16s will be delivered to Ukraine in 2023. If they can all be retrofitted / upgraded by the end of 2024...

What I would like to see going forward is the transfer of American items to Ukraine, paid for by 3rd parties, while the U.S. continues to fund critical supplies such as ammunition, missiles and air defense systems. As an example, there is no reason why Canada + Sweden (just an example) can't...

Per Politico, USA 🇺🇸 will announce another $375 million arms package for Ukraine in the coming days. The package will include artillery shells, armored vehicles and anti-tank armored vehicles, per the report. I'll post the full contents of the package as it's released.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 is reporting that overnight in the Donetsk region, a drone spotted 10 T-90 Russian MBTs camouflaged in a forest. They claim to have eliminated all 10 in a HIMARS strike. While plausible, I'll wait on video confirmation from the drone before I'm overly excited. Big news if true...

I think that Ukraine wants those protecting places like Kyiv and Kharviv / Lviv. Ideally, USA and Germany would donate an additional battery each, or maybe a countries like Canada and Britain could pair up to buy a battery off of the USA and ship it. Those batteries could then be layered with...

Below is the list of air defense systems that have been publicly delivered to / committed to Ukraine so far. We know that more have been sent based on pictures that have emerged, but they remain publicly unconfirmed, therefore, I won't speculate. Stationary Air Defense Systems Delivered 1x...

Saw this as well. 5 more packages at $600 million USD each over the next 3-4 months, is no joke. Lots of toys can be sent. Especially used items, at a bargain price, using drawdown authority.

That's why I'm targeting the end of the year for F-16s in Ukraine. My guess is that the first pilots start training in the June-July time frame, both in the USA and some European countries. Meanwhile a plan is put in place to select the exact aircraft, with the exact systems, that the West wants...

Per the New York Times, pressure is mounting on U.S. President Joe Biden to join the coalition of countries willing to provide F-16s to Ukraine. Congress members are now writing him letters to ask him to move in that direction. USA has more than 1100 F-16s, a number of which are in storage, and...

USA 🇺🇸 is planning $60 Billion in military aid for Ukraine in 2024, in anticipation of the war continuing beyond this year. The package will go to Congress for approval in the fall. It will be distributed to Ukraine throughout the year in tranches similar to what we've seen to this point. Expect...

Just waiting for confirmation from an official source, but it appears that Norway 🇳🇴 is sending Ukraine 3 of their ARTHUR counter battery radars. They are also transferring 8 additional M270 MLRS to Britain for modernization. In turn, Britain 🇬🇧 will, apparently, send 8 of their modernized M270s...

Well, it's official. Britain and the Netherlands will build / lead a coalition of countries to provide F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. The news was announced after British and French statements that they will begin training Ukrainian fighter pilots this summer...

Macron and France 🇫🇷 have announced that they are sending SCALP, long long range cruise missiles to Ukraine. SCALP is the French version of Storm Shadow. They are being sent to supplement the British donated version.

In the last year of non-stop fighting in Ukraine (May 16th, 2022-May 16th, 2023) this map shows the territorial gains of each nation. Russia, despite losing more than 100,000 soldiers in the timeframe alone, as well as a significant quantity of their modern army equipment, has lost substantially...

Per Oryx, the jointly supplied Italian / French SAMP-T air defense system has now arrived in Ukraine for their use against Russian missile bombardment.

I don't think this was previously shared on the board, despite being announced a couple weeks back. The U.S. Army signed a $2.4 billion usd contract with Lockheed Martin, to produce PAC-3 missiles for Patriot missile systems. The contract starts immediately and the production line is scheduled...

Bisbis, my guy, your takes just keep getting worse. Mussolini bet on a German victory and joined the aggressor in an attempt to conquer Europe (and much of the world). He was completely cucked by Hitler. He didn't fight back against the aggressor, he joined them in their conquest of their...

I think this is a good take. I do believe that there have been an initial cadre of Ukrainians pilots that have been training around the world. I do think there are at least SOME that are in the advanced phase of training on one or more western airframes. I don't think for a second that they...

Another donation happened quietly as well. It wasn't publicly announced beforehand, but Romania has donated at least 4 (pictured) 122-mm MLRS APR-40 systems to Ukraine. There might be more, but I can't make that claim given that they are not pictured and Romania hasn't noted the donation...
