Lol... Russia's S-400 / S-300 network, supported by Pantsir's and older systems have repeatedly failed in Crimea to to intercept small quantities of SCALP-EG / Storm Shadow. In fact, S-400 / S-300 have proven incapable of saving even themselves when overwhelmed by a combination of Ukrainian...

They don't need to be willing to pay a very high price if the goal is simply to do substantial damage to Iran's military. We're not talking about invasion. We're talking about destroying key Iranian weapons facilities, air bases, etc by way of TLAMs and JASSMs.

Lol at the IRGC posturing again, by "retaliating" against U.S. missile attacks by firing near a U.S. base. Just another attempt at saving face for their own populace and the neighboring countries that respect them... In reality, they know that a strike on a U.S. base in the region that kills...

What they need to support the left bank is fairly obvious and it's largely contigent on the U.S. passing it's $61 billion usd aid package. Additional ATACMS: USA has some 350'ish of the older model M39 rocket with 160km range. They have an additional 1200'ish of the M57 rocket with a unitary...

Per the Institute For The Study of War... Ukraine produced 50,000 FPV drones in the month of December, 2023. That total is expected to rise to 83,000 per month throughout 2024, with a total of nearly 1 million FPV drones assembled domestically in 2024. 200 Ukrainian companies are now involved...

I've seen numerous sources confirming the loss of the A-50. If it is true, which it appears to be, it will mark the single biggest strategic asset loss to the Russian military since the sinking of the Moskva and the destruction of the Rostov-on-Don. Strategic level asset loss is an enormous blow...

Very interesting development. Ecuador 🇪🇨 and the United States 🇺🇸 have agreed on a deal in which Ecuador will send USA $200 million usd worth of Soviet era weapons to USA, for transfer to Ukraine, in exchange for $200 million usd worth of American made weapons. The specific details of the deal...

Sweden 🇸🇪 has announced a signed agreement with artillery shell manufacturer Nammo to increase artillery shell production for Ukraine. No details regarding the numbers associated with the agreement were released...

A-10's are just such an easy target in modern warfare. There is a reason the USA 🇺🇸 is phasing them out quickly (age of airframe not withstanding). There are moder. Helicopter platforms with much better CAS capabilities, IMO, although I acknowledge that they're not likely to make their way into...

More information regarding the $255 million usd worth of drones that Britain 🇬🇧 will send Ukraine. The package will consist of drones numbering in the "tens of thousands" and they will be assembled in both Britain and Ukraine. The drones will be broken down into 3 categories.... - Long range...

I'm not going to sit behind a screen and pretend that I know what Ukraine needs more than their military does, but I can't see a reality in which A-10s would be at all survivable in the current landscape, for the same reason that both Ukraine and Russia have been losing SU-25s at such an...

Following up on UkroTurk's post above. Britain 🇬🇧 has announced that they will provide Ukraine $2.5 Billion pounds ($3.2 Billion usd) worth of military aid in 2024. Initial deliveries of contents from this new package will begin in in April. The package includes the following... - Unknown...

My contention was / is not that the West will send those quantities of military supplies to Ukraine in 2024, it's simply that they could, at a cost effective price, without sacrificing affecting active military stockpiles at all. Both the American and EU military aid packages are going to pass...

The biggest myth perpetuated is that NATO and the West cannot supply Ukraine with what it needs to fend off Russia, while simultaneously supporting Israel. What the two nations need in terms of war materials are very, very different. What does Ukraine need to fight their war and drain the...

I think the Houthis will continue to try to be a thorn in the side of Israel's Allies, but the Western world / 1st world countries are simply not going to allow important shipping lanes to be held hostage in this day and age. Commerce is too imporant and safe passage for ships is vital to...

Britain 🇬🇧 revealed that the AIM-132 ASRAAM air defense missiles that they have sent to Ukraine are intercepting aerial targets at a 90% success rate. The ground launched ASRAAMs are being fired from an undisclosed number of Supacat HMT mobile launch platforms (essentially a truck with a big...

I'm not suggesting that you're incorrect, but the numbers I'm referencing are accurate from any source I can find. For example, GDOTS in Quebec has a standing contract to produce 3000 domestically made shells per month. Those shells are made exclusively in Canada. They have surge capacity up to...

General Dynamics Ordinance and Tactical Systems Canada is who I was referring to when I noted "General Dynamics". They produce shells in Quebec, Canada. BAE also creates artillery shells in Southern Wales and Northern England. Their operations are not limited to their U.S. based production lines.

Estonia 🇪🇪 announced a commitment of $220 million usd for Ukrainian defense, each year between 2024-2028, totaling $1.3 billion usd. Some people may scoff at that commitment as relatively insignificant, but keep in mind that Estonia is home to little more than 1 million people. That is a...

You are absolutely chasing ghosts my dude. Not only is the Muslim population in the Western world as large as it had ever been and continuing to grow exponentially through immigration, Muslims have largely integrated themselves into Western societies and largely participate as peaceful...
