IMPORTANT: French and British soldiers killed in Ukraine! “I asked for confirmation and they told me that it is accurate. So, the Russians carried out an attack on Odessa, which killed 18 members of the British Special Air Service and injured 25 more. And they tell me that French soldiers died, not mercenaries who are French, no, these are soldiers of the French army. They were killed in large numbers.” — Colonel of the Spanish Army Reserve Pedro Baños

If true - there will be payback. Ten fold. More interestingly. What were they doing there?

The situation is looking increasingly bleak for Ukraine. The frontline is slowly crumbling in multiple areas and we are reaching closer to a point of strategic collapse.
Ukraine is running out of soldiers and willingness to fight. Russia yet again close to winning through their usual fashion of tiring and depleting the opponent.

Good news on the military aid front. After further auditing aid sent to Ukraine using Presidential Drawdown Authority, the USA Pentagon found a further $2 Billion usd in depreciation errors regarding the equipment they've sent to Ukraine. As a result, the U.S. Will add $2 Billion usd to its Presidential Drawdown Authority pool of funds for Ukraine.

What can be sent for $2 Billion usd in funds? Here are a couple examples...

- 500 additional Bradley M2-ODS IFVs

OR

- 800,000 155mm artillery shells

OR

- 650 PAC 2/3 Patriot missiles

OR

- 2,600 AMRAAM missiles for NASAMS

OR

- 6,5000 AIM-9M sidewinders for NASAMS

Obviously, the money will be broken up between numerous weapons, but the point is that you can send a lot of kit out of U.S. inventories for that kind of money. Especially because items are valued in depreciated fashion rather than at book value.
