USA confirms all 31 M1A1 Abrams MBTs that they have committed to Ukraine have arrived, along 120mm depleted uranium rounds. These tanks will be used to reinforce the Ukrainian brigades that feature Western MBTs.

All 31 Abrams Tanks in Ukraine, US Military Confirms to VOA

Military officials say it could take time before the Abrams are sent to the battlefield, as Ukrainian troops make sure they have needed support elements in place.

FPV drone VS TOR air defense, the classic 400 dollars killed 60 million dollars.
150,000 times the profit

Well...this is over exaggeration. A Tor battery of four vehicles cost approximately $60-100 millions. (Depending on the variant)
Thus, 1x Tor system cost $15-25 millions.

This is correct.

On a side note, it will be interesting to see how many Switchblade 600 drones get introduced into the theater in the coming months. They have substantially longer range than Russian Lancet drones and pack a similar punch. I doubt Ukraine will get nearly enough to saturate Russian assets, but they could serve to ramp up the strike distance against Russian air defense units and their longer range, quality artillery. Having a similar capability to the Russians will be a nice upgrade for the Ukrainians.

Interesting news regarding 155mm artillery shell deliveries from France , for the Caesar 155mm self-propelled howitzers. Throughout 2023 France has been sending Ukraine approximately 1000 155mm artillery shells each month. However, in cooperation with Australia, the French will up that number to 3000 155mm artillery shells per month. France will send Ukraine at least 36,000 artillery shells in 2023.

Meanwhile, French manufacturer Thales has been building 2 CAESAR systems per month to sell to clients, in January 2024 that number will rise to 8 CAESAR units per month. Belgium , Lithuania and Czech Republic have all ordered units to replace existing artillery in their inventories and both Britain and Bulgaria are evaluating CAESAR howitzers to replace their own respective artillery. Mean while, France will look to replace the units they've sent to Ukraine and will likely send additional units as they become available. Thales is scheduled to produce 96 CAESAR units in 2024.

The ukranian are still has a long way journey to make for their crimean pilgrimage . And the bears are starting to get their shit together ...
While the said freebies are coming in piecemeal . nothing but an emergency aid just to keep the ukraine afloat and be useful for the west agendas

The “bears” just got two airports blown off with 9 helicopters on them, with a shiny new toy from the US, which is the oldest and weakest version of ATACMS. That’s just with a 75 km range weapon. In a few weeks, the Ukrainians will have the new 150 km range ammunition for HIMARS that will allow them to strike at will at any target in the occupied territories, including Crimea.

The Russians are not winning in Ukraine, and they will not win in the future as well. The economical and technological superiority of the US and EU is so big, that the Ukrainian aid can be sent without affecting the donor nations in a meaningful way. Only Putin and his supportes fail to see that.

That’s great news! A four times increase in production will allow for new countries to buy CAESARS, while at the same time Ukraine will be able to receive additional units.

Maybe 4 units will go to other countries, and 4 to Ukraine each month.

This is they kind of production ramping that is needed in order to saturate the Russians in a long term conflict.

As one Ukraine solider said about ruzzians at the beginning of the War - "Thank God that they are so stupid"

Ukrainian missiles were shot down near Sevastopol on October 18. The Ukrainian army tried to strike with anti-aircraft missiles of the Soviet S-200 air defense system, converted into a strike version. The missiles were reportedly shot down by a Russian S-400 air defense system in the Kara-Koba area. Both Ukrainian missiles fell in a deserted area.

There will be more ATACMS missiles

OCTOBER 19, 2023, 2:49 PM

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, said that the US will supply long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine on a permanent basis.

He said this on the air of the 1+1 TV channel, "European Truth" reports.

Kuleba answered in the affirmative when asked if the delivery of the first batch of ATACMS means that the US will transfer them continuously and in larger quantities.





He also hopes that in the future Ukraine will receive ATACMS missiles capable of hitting targets at a distance of 300 kilometers.

According to the New York Times, the United States has transferred about 20 long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine.

According to the New York Times, the United States has transferred about 20 long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine.

USA will slowly feed M39 ATAMS munitions to Ukraine over the coming months. Eventually, they might get a few of the longer ranged warheads, but, largely, the USA has sensitive numbers of the more modern MGM-140 rocket and isn't building more in any large capacity (if at all) because they are about to begin large scale production of the new PrSM (Precision Strike Missile), which will serve as its replacement.

Roughly 1100 M39s were built, however, a number were upgraded, others were fired, and others still were retired. We don't know what state they are in for refurbishment... It seems reasonable to think that the USA would be able to provide 100-200 M39 rockets over time and less than 50 MGM-140 rockets.

Regardless, ATACMS are a little bit of a stopgap. As Ukraine runs low on Stormshadow / SCALP cruise missiles, the M39 munition will give them a longer range strike capability to fill the void temporarily. Eventually, however, GLDSB will become Ukraine's primary, ground launched long range weapon, supplemented by their own domestic missile production. Meanwhile, F-16 fired JASSM cruise missiles (supplemented by some Taurus cruise missiles) will be Ukraine's primary air launched long range weapon, beginning in the first half of 2024.

It has been an absolutely devastating 72 hours for the Russian war effort. First, it was revealed (through satellite imagery) that the destroyed / critically damaged helicopter total from the Luhanks and Berdyansk ATAMS strikes was actually 16-21, after previously noted to be 9. That's a huge chunk aircraft to lose in one day.

To compound matters, the Russians continued their disasterous push towards Avdiivka, with close to a dozen videos emerging of them taking significant losses to APCs, MBTs, artillery and personnel. Ukraine exaggerates numbers of Russian losses for propaganda purposes, but we're talking about one of the worst single days of the war for the Russians to this point.

Germany sent a small military aid package to Ukraine, including 3 Gepard air defense systems (bringing the total delivered to 49) and reconnaissance drones.

Germany sends new military aid to Ukraine with drones and Gepards

On Friday, the German government reported on the shipment of another package of military aid to Ukraine over the past week, which included Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, drones and heavy trucks.

USA officially requested $105 Billion usd in aid from Congress, with $61 Billion of it earmarked for defense and macro financial spending for Ukraine. Military support from USA remains steadfast in ensuring a Russian defeat.
