Ukraine is armed to the teeth right now and their soldiers are better trained.


Ukraine is sending territorial defense forces to the front with just ten days of training, in total.

They’re critically deficient in heavy weapons, from artillery to tanks and armored fighting vehicles.

They also don’t have enough trucks.

Maybe more to police the political unrest, as in rebellion brewing. This includes the areas occupied since 2014. Russia is screwing them over royally, not paying for military service, etc...

Finnish intel has reported that 80% of Russia's total combat ready forces are already engaged, and entire garrisons are empty of troops.

Russia has made another request for "peacekeeping" troops from Armenia and other satellite states.

20,000 rounds isn’t shite. When I saw that I was very disappointed in Canada they can do so much more. If you have 100 howitzers then 20,000 rounds is only 200 per gun. They can go through that in a day or two with they way this war is playing out. It’s all about artillery and rockets. Everything helps but they need rounds in the millions not a few thousand. We just can’t supply that all ourselves. France should really be held accountable, they could offer so much help.
It helps when there's actually a target. I'll guess these misses were from the Russian side, but who knows?

They kept Ukraine independent for a short time until 1920/21

That was a German client state. Berlin created it as a buffer and a way to deal with the Bolsheviks, who they belatedly worried would pose a threat to Germany.

Germany was in no position to make decisions about the status of other countries in 1920.

Have any of you non political military junkies seen any evidence of any use of our new advanced weapon systems in this conflict yet. I am bitching about that little while ago to ole buddy and told some shite like “maybe we have or maybe he haven’t used anything, maybe you don’t know how to ducking look. probably just ducking with me but curious

There will be a delay between application and reporting, but we may hear about it on one of the many Twitter pages mentioned before. Also, Mr. Rockford gave us this site, which has daily (or more) updates. Mr. Davydov is Ukrainian and has sources. Believe me, we are all waiting and as we speak there are babies all over Ukraine being named 'HIMARS'.

Plenty of videos of the new howitzers in action. I've also seen switchblade videos.

We've seen video and footage of the M777's and Switchblade 300's being used.

There have been quite a few sightings of self-propelled artillery that have been donated by other nations.

Here's a video from earlier today. Can we spell 'counter battery'? It seems the newly-arriving HIMARS are the cure for Snake Island as well.
