    Since the outset of the conflict the Russian simps have been routinely claiming that the West is not only greatly exaggerating the quantity of Russian armor that Ukraine has destroyed, but also that we've all been exaggerating the effectiveness of systems such as the Western made Javelin and...

    You need not worry about the West. A smaller number of banks are truly struggling. Most will be fine. Russia on the other hand, is a complete disaster. Not only do a significant portion of their people live in poverty, 20-25% of their population still doesn't have indoor plumbing. In many...

    Happy to see this as I was posting about wanting to see it happen a couple weeks ago... North Macedonia 🇲🇰 is donating its 12, MI-24 attack helicopters to Ukraine. Ukraine already flies the MI-24n but these will add to the fleet. My understanding is that some number of these helicopters are...

    Yes, this is closer to a master list of what HAS arrived and has been promised / purchased. Of course, my list is what is expected to arrive in Ukraine in the first half of 2023 (between January and July). Many of the weapons that you accurately listed, won't arrive in Ukraine until the back...

    If Ukraine can use the MI-24's as nothing more than parts for their existing fleet, it's still a big help. Hours add up on each air frame and parts wear out. Also, North Macedonia is likely to have some of the weapons that they use as well. Sending those alongside the air frames would keep...

    North Macedonia has a total or 12 MI-24 attack helicopters, 8 of which are currently grounded (with no plans of ungrounding them) due to a lack of spare parts and cost of overhaul. I'd like to see those helicopters go to Ukraine, even if Ukraine has to use money from the European security...

    Latvia has approved another $74 million in military aid for Ukraine, with no specific details about the aid given at this point. This announcement has now brought the Latvian contribution to $392 million, more than 1% of their GDP. That's an enormous amount for a small country. For...

    Poland 🇵🇱 was going to send their Mig-29s eventually. I suspect that they've already sent a couple of them in the form of "spare parts", earlier in the conflict, but they should still have 20+ left. Hopefully, Slovakia 🇸🇰 will follow suit and send their 11 Mig-29s as well, as they discussed...

    They already have. Absolutely no doubt about it. Whether they've denied it or not. Pakistani ammunition has absolutely arrived in German ports, destined for Ukraine. Britain also flew numerous flights, with C-17's, full of Pakastani ammunition, to Romania and Poland. Pakistan is ABSOLUTELY...

    It's not about paying what they're worth. Pakistan needs Western "aid" and badly needs foreign currency to circulate in their system . Send it in the form of an overpayment for 200 MBTs. "We'll pay $1.5 million for each tank, with spare parts and ammunition. For every tank you sell us, it comes...

    Oh yeah, Pakistan is desperate. Their economy is in shambles. They've also moved more in the direction of co-building tanks with China. Those Chinese model tanks make up the bulk of their tank forces. If I'm the West, forget 44 of their T-80s. They were originally sold 320 of them by Ukraine in...

No news yet on who is financing the purchase, but this wouldn't be the first time that Pakistan has sold weapons to the West, destined for Ukraine. Previously, they've sold...

    Make no mistake, Ukraine is losing a lot as well, but not nearly as much as Russia. The Russians are throwing everything they have into the grinder, while Ukraine practices defense in depth, from deeply established, easily re-suppliable positions. Ukraine is also getting a lot of help from...

    I hate to inform you of this, but Russia is getting their teeth kicked in right now, by all available evidence. 1. The overwhelming majority of Russia's best troops are already KIA, WIA or MIA. They've had entire brigades of their very best forces made combat ineffective because of catastrophic...
