Additional news coming out of France today. Macron said France will train Ukrainian pilots moving forward. No promise was made to provide Ukraine with fighter jets and it was not disclosed on which aircraft Ukrainians will be trained to fly in France. Macron specified that the training can start...

New news coming out of Europe over the weekend. While Zelensky visited France 🇫🇷 Macron promised a new military aid package for Ukraine. In typical French style, not all details of the package were made public, but one component of the package was. France promised to send more AMX-10RC tank...

Russian artillery around Bakhmut has been getting devastated this week. The question now is whether or not those experienced crews have been getting killed as well. Russia has TONS of artillery, but they're slowly burning through their best stuff and, presumably their best crews... Meanwhile...

This is not true. The West is committing tons of military equipment to Ukraine that won't arrive until late 2023 and throughout 2024. Ukraine had millions of men in terms of manpower and tens of thousands that are currently training Britain, Germany, Poland etc. While it would not be good if...

I posted about this earlier today, with a link. I appreciate you following up with another post to emphasize just how big of a commitment this is from a country not named America.

If it is Ukraine 🇺🇦 I think a more realistic explanation is that they realized that Russian aircraft were flying carelessly through the Bryansk region, feeling safe. They then set up an air defense system close to the border, but kept it offline until they were ready to execute the operation...

News is starting to spread that during his visit to Italy 🇮🇹 yesterday, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni made a substantial military commitment to Zelensky. Details have not yet been released, but among the possible commitments include... - SAMP/T air defense systems - Aspide air defense...

Huge news out of Switzerland 🇨🇭. It appears they their Parliament has voted in favour of backfilling Western Allies who donate their Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. The Swiss have nearly 100 Leopard 2A4 MBTs in storage. They are willing to sell an undisclosed number back to Rheinmetall, who can then...

Enormous new military aid package from Germany 🇩🇪 has been announced. It's the largest single non-American military aid package of the war, totaling $2.7 Billion euros. Contents of the package include: 30 Leopard 1A5 MBTs 20 Marder 1A3 IFVs 18 Panzerhaubitze 2000, 155mm self-propelled howitzers...

I think you'll see a mixture of Ukrainian (upgraded) T-84 Oplots and KF-51 Panthers. I think you'll eventually see Ukraine purchase about 500 of the cheaper Oplots and about 250 of the Panthers, giving them about 750 new MBTs in total. We're probably talking about 5-7 years from now, however...

A couple interesting pieces of news today. Belgium announced a new, 92 million Euro defense package for Ukraine today. The package will consist of armored vehicles, weapons and ammunition of undisclosed types. It will also include humanitarian supplies...

Lol, this isn't WWII. Ukraine isn't going to charge in against Russian tanks in some head-to-head battle. MBTs will be used in a completely different manner. The first goal will be to use long range strike assets such as cruise missiles, GLDSB, GMLRS (HIMARS), JDAMS, Kamikaze drones, and air...

I suspect Su-24 aircraft would be suitable launchpads for Storm Shadow, but would have required retrofitting to have taken part in quiet. Another possibility is that either the Polish or Slovak Mig-29s (or both) that were donated to Ukraine, have been upgraded in a manner that makes them...

Truthfully, It doesn't really matter what missile / rocket Ukraine gets, as long as it meets these 4 characteristics. 1. It has range between 200-300km, giving Ukraine the ability to execute strategic strikes in all of Ukraine, Crimea and when necessary, western Russia. 2. They are available...

Czech Republic will donate 2 batteries (each consisting of 4 launchers + associated radars) of Kub air defense systems to Ukraine. According to the Czech Prime Minister Petr Pavel, his government will also send "quite a large number" of air defense missiles. The Czechs are replacing the Kub...

While the battle for Bakhmut will be over relatively soon, with Russian Forces (mostly Wagner) controlling approximately 80% of the city, can we all take a second to appreciate how long the Ukrainian defense of the city has lasted, and how long it fixed Russian troops in place for? It's cost...

Please. This is the shortest term memory ever. You folks in the East have been invading each other, killing each other and doing horrible things to each other since before many of the nations in the West even existed. Who do you think we learned how to be awful to other people from? Just...
