A couple points. 1). Ukraine doesn't need to destroy ALL Russian artillery. It has to destroy Russia's most capable, most accurate artillery, namely a high number of its rocket artillery and and high end self-propelled artillery. Russia can field all of the D-20 and D-30 guns it wants. All they...

For those interested in what The United States' 🇺🇸 capacity is to continue supplying Ukraine with GMLRS for HIMARS, Lockheed Martin has upped the production line to 10,000 rockets per year and is exploring avenues to further up production to 14,000 rockets per year. Of course, not all of the...

I think that you are under the impression that Ukraine is going to waste their manpower like Russia did in the Bakhmut area, in WW1 / WW2 style attempts to penetrate the Russian lines by throwing waves of infantry into the teeth of prepared Russian defenses. That's not the tactic they're going...

Until the Russians have an effective answer for Ukrainian counter battery fire, and can match the combination of drone corrected, GPS guided munitions and GMLRS raining death down on Russia's outmatched / outranged artillery, it's going to remain a really bad problem for Russian troops. Russia...

They're just artillery food. Russia will bunker them in and try to use them as short range turrets, with low accuracy. Ukraine will hunt them from a distance using drone corrected artillery fire, cluster munitions, and GMLRS. I suspect their effectiveness will be extremely minimal and as a...

Canada 🇨🇦 had announced that it will send another $410 million usd to Ukraine. The funding is for... - Expansion of training for Ukrainian troops in Europe. - An Officer exchange program to be hosted this summer in Canada. - Drones and drone technology. - Macro financial aid.

A Ukrainian soldier with a Javelin anti-armor system or an NLAW is FAR more valuable than a Russian T-55 and it's not even close. Considering the Ukrainians have millions of potential soldiers and thousands of modern anti-atmor systems as their disposal, a T-55 MBT is almost useless in modern...

France 🇫🇷 will send another $187 million USD in military aid to Ukraine. While the contents of the package have not yet been released, it's widely speculated that the package will include the following, at a minimum... - SCALP-EG Cruise missiles - 155mm ammunition - Additional AMX-10RC IFVs...

What sticks out to me most about that footage is two things... 1). How old and beat up a lot of the equipment is. Now don't get me wrong, Ukraine is using a lot of old stuff as well, in similar condition, but it's a constant reminder that much of this equipment is Soviet era in nature, because...

More important would be the expedited process of sending Abrams and K2 MBTs to Ukraine so that the Poles can send more of their Leopard 2s and PT-91 Twardys to Ukraine. Additionally, anything the West can do to help Poland speed up the production of Rosomak IFVs, RAK-120 self-propelled mortars...

New arms packages for Ukraine announced at the NATO summit. Britain 🇬🇧 announced that they are sending Ukraine a package that includes the following... - 70 combat vehicles of an unspecified type. - An unspecified quantity of logistics vehicles. - Thousands of tank rounds for Challenger 2...

Turkey is not getting F-35s while they own Russian made S-400 SAM systems. Any reasonable person fully understands why that's an enormous liability given how many countries are going to be employing the F-35 as their front line fighter for years to come. Turkey would already have F-35s if they...

I really want to see the United States make a couple key weapons sales to Turkey, such as the new F-16s they badly want (and deserve in my opinion). In return, if I were the Americans, I would request the following package be sent to Ukraine. Turkey absolutely can do it, as I'll explain...

Updated list of important Western armor / artillery donated to Ukraine. I've included the numbers damaged / destroyed via picture evidence according to Oryx. Main Battle Tanks Leopard 2A4/5/6/R: 92 donated (11 damaged / destroyed) Abrams M1A1: 31 donated (0 damaged / destroyed) Challenger...

The United States 🇺🇸 had a stockpile of 3 million cluster munitions that they have little use for. Digging into that stockpile will help them bridge the time needed for Europe and and The United States to further ramp up 155mm, 105mm, 152mm and 122mm artillery shells production. South Korea 🇰🇷...

New military aid package for Ukraine from Germany 🇩🇪 has been announced. The package is worth $600 million Euros and contains the following.... - 2x Additional Patriot launchers - 40x Additional Marder 1A3 IFV - 25x Leopard 1A5 MBT - 5x Bergepanzer 2 ARV - 25,000 155mm artillery shells - 1x...

The boss move would be for Turkey to give Ukraine 24 Firtina, 155mm howitzers and sell them an additional 48 more at an agreed upon price. Then South Korea could transfer 12 K9s to backfill part of the Turkish donation, without directly sending any weapons onto the battlefield. Ukraine 🇺🇦 gets...

According to the Wall Street Journal, Poland 🇵🇱 recently (and quietly) transferred 10 MI-24 Attack helicopters to Ukraine. With the Czech 🇨🇿 news that they'll also be handing over 6-10 MI-24s to Ukraine, it's obvious that Ukraine wants to get more tactical air support involved at the front...

Some video updates from the last couple days. As you can see, everything is going as planned for Putin and the Russian military is performing exceptionally well... Russian BM-27 Uragan and supporting equipment destroyed near Zaporizhia.... https://mstdn.social/@noelreports/110678191081062230...

What a huge day for Ukraine in the equipment department. News that EU 🇪🇺 USA 🇺🇸, Italy 🇮🇹, Turkey 🇹🇷, Czech Republic 🇨🇿 Slovakia 🇸🇰 and Germany 🇩🇪 are providing additional military aid, all dropped within the same 12 hours. For those that missed it, here is a collection of what was announced...
