We're getting more details about the absolute hell the Russians are facing around Bakhmut. Not only have they lost ten's of thousands In their attempt to take the city, Ukraine is slowly withdrawing from the city, while flanking the Russians in the north and fixing Wagner positions with high...

They're training on them in Britain, right now. They've release several videos of them training lately. The truth is that Ukraine really isn't lacking artillery pieces right now, so there isn't a huge rush to get them in country. What they're lacking is sufficient ammunition to fire 10,000+...

Posted that one yesterday! 28 is a nice upgrade.

Update on the number of artillery pieces donated to Ukraine by its allies. This list will not be fully comprehensive because some countries simply refuse to disclose donations and quantities of donated items, but this is what we know. This list also does not include rocket artillery or MLRS...

Everyone is self-interested. We in the West did not care about Georgia, and especially, about Chechnya. We care about Ukraine for a couple reasons. 1). It's the largest country in Europe by landmass. We don't want Russia regaining such a large piece of territory on NATO's border with Poland...

113 additional Bradley 2ODS (USA) 40 additional Marder IFV (Germany) 25 additional more AMX10-P (France) 50 Warrior IFV (Britain) 50 LAV 6.0 IFV (Canada) Those 275+ additional IFVs would go a long friggen way in equipping 3 more armored brigades and none of those countries would have their...

I'd love to see both Turkey and Greece come to an understanding and send a few Leo 2's each. I'm with you that 10 each would be great. Alternatively, Cyprus has been vocal in the fact that they have about 80 T-80U's that they would like to upgrade. Ukraine already uses the T-80 and procuring...

I've mentioned something along this line before, but I think it remains true. In order for Ukraine to be able to go on a lasting offensive that the Russians will struggle to stop, Ukraine will need more Western MBTs, IFVs, APCs and artillery. Now, the artillery is slowly arriving and plans have...

Expect the official fall of Bakhmut pver the next couple days, as Russia pushes from the north and breaks through the last lines of defense, and Ukraine finishes their tactical withdrawal back towards Chasiv Yar and the high ground, where they've been preparing new defensive positions for about...

A critical addition to Ukraine's defense capability is going to be the Switchblade 600 drones that the USA announced in their latest weapons package for Ukraine. Each drone costs roughly $150,000-$200,000 and it has the same warhead as a Javelin missile, made for destroying armor. The drone has...

Croatia is officially sending 14, MI-8 transport helicopters to Ukraine. The process is ongoing and will be completed over the next couple weeks. They helicopters are important to Ukrainian logistics and their ability to move key supplies to areas surrounding the front. Furthermore, it allows...

There would be nothing better for the West than if China decided to do some version of "lend / lease" for Russia and the collective West pulled even 10-20% of our manufacturing back to our collective countries and cut off all Western humanitarian aid to China in response. Their economy is hyper...

I'd like to see Finland up their donation number of Leo 2s. I fully understand their unique position of being right on the Russian border and not yet part of NATO, but they have about 200 Leopard 2 tanks. I'd like to see them commit at least 10 of their Leo 2A4s. They don't have to send their...

Thanks @Woland !! At the time I made my post, the additional Canadian tanks were rumored, but not confirmed, which is why I had them in my "expected deliveries" category, but they've, obviously, now been announced. As for the Sweden Leo 2's, I've made that mistake before and I continue to do...
