Poland gave quite a bit the first few months including its own dirt cheap anti tank MANPADS, albeit very short range, but lots of them, also tanks and artillery which was before news media started reporting. Fuel was coming from somewhere outside of Ukraine as well. Almost all of their refineries had been shutdown several years ago

I have been told that Polish Intel has been most helpful as well. It's not like Ukraine needs our satellites with all the commercial satellite recon available, Maxtar being just one

UPDATE ON UKRAINE 02 August 2022
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
The Sierra Leone-flagged cargo ship RAZONI left the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Odesa on 1 August, headed to the port of Tripoli in Lebanon loaded with 26,000, tonnes of Ukrainian grain. This marks the first grain shipment from a Ukrainian port since the invasion began, enabled by an agreement on a grain export transit corridor between Ukraine, Turkey, the UN, and Russia on 22 July.
The reported strike on Russian Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol on Navy Day is the latest setback for the Black Sea Fleet in the five-month-old war against Ukraine, which included the loss of its flagship, the cruiser MOSKVA, in April 2022.
Following the reports of cancelled parades, it is unlikely that the Black Sea Fleet can manage high profile public events alongside its wartime activities.

Russia Is Building ‘Ghost Bridges’ With Radar Reflectors In Ukraine
After two strategic bridges in occupied Kherson were crated by Ukraine, Russia deployed radar reflectors as a crude and puzzling countermeasure.
The battle for bridges continues in Ukraine with newly obtained satellite imagery revealing that Russian forces have situated a long array of pyramidal radar reflectors in the water near the recently cratered Antonivskiy Bridge and an also recently cratered nearby rail bridge, both of which cross over the Dnipro River. The bridges are vital spans that are critical to supporting Russia’s occupation of Kherson in southern Ukraine.
Days ago, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data revealed what looked like a pontoon bridge being constructed alongside a rail bridge just up the river from Antonivskiy Bridge. But satellite imagery showed there was no pontoon bridge being constructed. Subsequent high-resolution satellite imagery obtained by The War Zone from Planet Labs now shows a large array of objects dispersed across the channel on the west side of the Antonivskiy Bridge. A smaller number of similar objects can be made out on the west side of the nearby rail bridge.
also has some interesting satellite imagery...

Only protects against Harpoon missiles apparently. Within 15 miles of where Ukraine could place regular artillery. They could Russianize it

The USS Ronald Reagan carrier and destroyer Higgins are steaming off the coast in the Philippine Sea so China isn’t going to do anything but fly close to the airspace. They don’t want to go air to air with us I promise, especially not with 4 B-2 bombers sitting in Australia.

In their defense....no one really knew how long the Ukrainians would resist. We didnt want to give them all kinds of major weapon systems if they just fold in two weeks

This is a pretty common show of force that happens right? I feel like every 3 months China or Russia will test the airspace borders.

HIMARS accurately hit their targets: Russia accuses the USA of participating in the war
Tuesday, 2 August 2022, 16:49
The Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation has accused the USA of participating in the war on Ukraine’s side, claiming that Ukraine allegedly coordinates targets which are hit with HIMARS [high mobility artillery rocket systems - ed.] with Washington.
Source: Russian propaganda information agency TASS, with reference to Ihor Konashenkov, representative of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation
Details: Konashenkov stated this in reference to the deputy head of Russian military reconnaissance Vadym Skibitskiy, who allegedly told The Telegraph that before launching HIMARS missiles, Ukrainian intelligence services coordinate their actions with American intelligence services. This coordination "allows Washington to stop any attacks if it isn’t satisfied with the target."
Quote: "All of this proves beyond any doubt that Washington, despite claims of the White House and the Pentagon, is directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine."

Occupiers Accidentally Blew Up Their Own Train With Ammunition In Kherson Region
During the shipment of ammunition from the echelon of military equipment at the Kalanchak station in Kherson region, the Russian occupiers used powerful smoke systems, after which an explosion sounded in the area of the works. The personnel of the invaders fled in panic. This was reported by the Defense Intelligence at the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on Tuesday, June 2.
The Defense Intelligence noted that on July 31, a train with military equipment and ammunition arrived at the Kalanchak railway station in Kherson region, which the invaders began to unload at 8 a.m. the next morning. For masking and protection, the Russian military used powerful smoke.
"At about 11:20 a.m., an explosion occurred in the area of the work. It was not possible to accurately determine its nature due to the dense smoke screen. However, immediately after the explosion, the echelon began to move in the direction of Crimea without any warning. Enemy personnel fled in panic. Presumably, the explosion was the result of careless handling of ammunition during unloading or fire, which arose as a result of the inept use of pyrotechnics during the creation of a smoke screen," the intelligence report said.

I mean this is almost 100% true. Hell, we’re probably giving them the targets and targeting information in the first place.

Ruskie's want a nice and easy war where they can roll over any inferior opponent without any push back.

I’m sure they’ve known all along. They’re choosing to make it public now because they believe it will benefit them in some way.

The Russian people have been force fed a lie that their system and culture are the dominant force in Eastern Europe and the world. Only way they can explain getting their arse handed to them by the Ukies is to blame America for it.
