More dead Russians that nobody cared about and nobody will miss... Oh well. I wonder if Russia will even take these corpses back at the end of the war, or if it's better to say they are simply "missing" so the Kremlin never has to pay their next of kin?

Interesting development that Turkey has quietly joined the "Leopard 2 coalition". Remember that the Turks didn't announce the transfer of their Kirpi APCs either, nor the transfer of long range artillery or drones. They just did it quietly, similarly to Bulgaria. If I'm NATO I'm now mounting...

Russians getting massacred by Ukrainian marines using artillery, ATGMs and drone dropped munitions.

NATO has 1000 more M777's in their inventory. We can replace the loss of a few by Ukraine without losing a wink of sleep. Russia will have to destroy a hell of a lot more than they have before it will become any kind of an issue. BAE has also said that they're more than happy to keep the...

Russians being slaughtered by the dozens in their daytime attempts to assault Vuhledar, into the teeth of drone supported, Ukrainian artillery. Per usual, nobody in Russia gives a shit about these people and how frequently they're wasted. Some of their families will receiver some flowers...

Looking across the countries that are supplying weaponry to Ukraine, I suspect we'll see a good deal of the following be committed to the war effort over the next coming months. - 44x Additional Leopard 2 MBTs: On top of the initial 88, which is two battalions worth. I think additional 44 will...

The Ukrainian goal is not to win at Bakhmut, rather, it's to force the Russians into a meat grinder situation, where they throw personnel into a wood chipper and lose hundreds of their more capable armored vehicles and expend more ammunitions than they can replace in the process. While the...

Poland has been absolutely fantastic in terms of how much armor they've been willing to give Ukraine in response to the Russian invasion! Once they've given all they feel they can, I suspect they'll join the Czech Republic in helping modernize / repair hundreds of T-72 variants from across...

I need to see indication that they can build them to some sort of scale before I'm going to count them as potentially difference making. For example, can they build 18 of them (a full battalion) and put them into service THIS year? If they can, that's meaningful, but I'd like to see some...

The Russian obsession with the Lancet drone is hilarious. It's the only piece of modern equipment that they can brag about, so they never miss an opportunity to highlight it lol. Here is the reality, the loss of a single Buk1 system is not detrimental to Ukraine's air defense. When you start...

Two things. 1). It's going to take a while for these Abrams to get into Ukrainian service because the U.S. has to strip them down of their depleted uranium armor and some of their highly advanced systems that they don't want the Russians to get their hands on. They'll be replaced by lesser...

36x F-16s + 40x upgraded Mig-29s from Poland and Slovakia would be a really nice addition. The inventory of available Mig-29s would probably double from where it is now and the Ukrainians already know how to fly them. Meanwhile, the F-16's would bring weapons such as JDAMs and air launched...

No, I sincerely doubt they will. I suspect they'll be sent with standard 120mm Sabot and HE rounds, but I could be wrong! it would be nice because they'll absolutely demolish Russian T-72s and T-80s with depleted uranium.

Canada has made it official that they will send an initial batch of 4 Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine, a smaller number similar to what Portugal is going to send. https://globalnews.ca/news/9438332/canada-leopard-tanks-ukraine/ We're now getting a bigger picture two of what Ukraine's two new...

Official release from U.S. DoD on the first 31 Abrams tanks + supply and support vehicles being sent to Ukraine. The total value of the package is $400 million USD...

We're already upgrading a bunch of our LAV III's to LAV 6.0's. We'll also purchase new LAV 6.0s to supplement the force. The needs for MBTs has definitely not a normal thing for Canada, however, we've been caught unprepared before. When we went to Afghanistan, our Leo 1 tanks were in shambles...

We have 20 Leopard 2A6Ms and approximately 44-45 Leopard 2A4's. Canada has had a substantial maintenance issue with its tanks, however, and doesn't have a lot of them in fantastic shape. I'd be genuinely surprised if we were willing to send any more than 6-8 tanks (similar to Norway) and they...

Not to mention, they had to withdraw from the entirety of the Kyiv region, the entirety of the Kharkiv region and the majority of the Kherson region because they overextended and were getting massacred, while they they ran out of supplies due to horrendous logistics. Yes, they're doing better...

Per the New York Times (quoting a source close to the situation), the Biden administration will send an initial batch of 30-50 M1A1 Abrams MBTs to Ukraine and the decision could be shared as soon as this week. However, The United States tends to announce military aid packages for Ukraine every...

That's fair! Thanks for the correction.
