According to the head of maintenance at FFG and the Danish defence ministry, Ukraine already has 90 Leopard 1A5s.

I was assuming, particularly with the context of the other names on the list, that it's because France haven't actually given all that much to assist Ukraine thus far and Macron's recent tough guy language about boots on the ground thus seems a bit empty or over-compensatory. France gets bashed a b...

Was listening to a live stream of the May 9th parade in Moscow in the car. Apparently they did the fly-over this year but it was a mixture of stock footage and CGI, and they couldn't even get consistency between the aircraft types, weather, or insignia. Clown show of a country.

Seeing some rumours in the OSINT community that the IFV/APC situation for the Russians is much worse than previously thought; storage bases being much emptier than earlier assessed and remaining vehicles showing far more signs of cannibalization for parts. I've seen one source tentatively revise his...

Giving the insane number of mines, & their density in Ukraine, there must be a significant amount of money set aside for working out how to: (a) punch a hole thru them for attacks, & (b) longer term clearance. For (a), the Orcs might have had a good idea in turning defunct tanks into robot ...

Schumer said the Senate will vote on the bill on Tuesday.

Yep, and the important issue of further Ukrainian mobilisation has to dealt with at some point, but at least this gives the Ukrainians a few options to plan how to manage things going forward. Nothing will happen until after the F-16s arrive. They'll increase arty fire to halt the Russians and incr...

Considering European support has continued to increase does this mean there is enough for the Ukrainians to go on the attack.

No, that's months away at least. Possibly even 2025.

Visual evidence has emerged that Russia has received 203mm M106 HE ammunition from Iran for it's 2S7 Pions. This ammunition would belong to Iran's 30 or so M110 howitzers, so it's basically all from pre-1979. It also means that Russia has or is close to exhausting it's own 203mm ammo stocks as that ...

Interesting video about Gepard ammo production.

General Budanov, head of the GUR, reaffirms that the Russian Tu-22M3 was shot down this morning by Ukrainian missiles. “We shot down the plane at a distance of 308 km, using the same means as we did with the A-50.

So is it safe to say that Ukraine has now been ground down by the waves of Russian flesh targets to a point where they are allowing areas to be taken in order to save Ukrainian lives? Bleak all round I'd imagine. The abandonment of Ukraine from some areas of the West is repugnant - I hope a few pol...
