What a trash military.

By the way, we've told earlier that Russian soldiers take stolen from Ukrainians cars out of Belarus, and we’ve noticed that mostly Mitsubishi L200 were among the stolen cars.

Sounds like potentially a few BTGs or more depending on the ratio of said vehicles and logistical support. https://t.co/NUDOfLuCrK

General Atomics ready to send unmanned aircraft to Ukraine if it gets US approval. https://t.co/fREEZlEt1W

That is quite interesting. They make Reaper and Predator drones.

---

the list doesn't say drones but my prayer is #1 already being used or #2 inbound hot.

They also need to ADD irrigation equipment to the aid list.....Sunflowers need water too!

Some things don't need to be mentioned on the list and some things need to be on the list not actually going.

There is apparently a storm currently in the Black Sea as well. Repairing battle damage and a fire in 10 foot swells would be oh so much fun.

Tee hee.

"In the temporarily occupied Melitopol, unknown people killed 70 Russian servicemen during night patrols, among them "Kadyrovites" - probably the Ukrainian resistance movement, according to Ukrainian intelligence."

I suspect that number is somewhat inflated. If it isn’t and this isn’t a one-off attack, the Russian rear area security situation is deteriorating rapidly. https://t.co/huPeDa0xvt

Everyone worried about Military Equipment from The United States taking a Large Amount of Time to arrive in Ukraine, that is not something to worry about, the USAF seems to have Activated a Majority of its Airlift Capability and have been able to get Assets there within 48 hours.

The Primary things people should be worried about is how slow it is taking for Transfers to Ukraine to get Approved by Western Countries, like The U.S Congress is currently on a 2 Week Easter Recess instead of passing, Bill S.3522 Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022.

Supplying partisans in occupied areas would probably be 3 or 4 on my list of priorities as a Uke commander. Partisan attacks are such a huge force multiplier it's unreal. It wastes a ton of people, resources, intelligence and so forth to secure areas or force you on to secure roads only. Then you damage resupply, morale, and do it in areas with lower quality troops (generally) which creates more gaps in coverage. The obvious Russian response though will be massive and brutal retaliation.

So this was the flagship of their fleet?

Related: AIRLIFT

Seems like those M109s we saw were indeed bound for Ukraine.

⚡️The US will deliver 18 155mm Howitzers to Ukraine. The US will train a small amount of Ukrainian forces on these. Using a “train the trainer” concept in which the forces trained by the US in Poland will go back to Ukraine to train their colleagues.⚡️

EDIT as first circulated photo appears fake.

Yes, they have been boasting how it was the most powerful ship in the Black Sea

JUST IN: President Biden announces $800 million MORE in U.S. military aid to Ukraine after a call with Zelensky.

The U.S. will provide artillery systems, armored personnel carriers, and additional helicopters to Ukraine. The Pentagon hasn’t given these systems to 🇺🇦 before. pic.twitter.com/ir0CwBnWaI

— Jack Detsch (@JackDetsch) April 13, 2022

Looks like the helicopters are a go.

.

Isn't this the trains shipments we saw videos of already in neighboring countries heading to Ukraine?

---

Well this 800m more just added today. Maybe we are moving stuff proactively so that once approved they are ready to be delivered.

Not photographically, no. Photos few and inconclusive as to ID thus far.

"No fair. You don't get to attack us back. Only Russia is allowed to attack. MOMMMMMMM!"

First off this could be prevented if Russia wasn’t almost 50 days into their illegal invasion of Ukraine.

Secondly, this should have been part of the first stage of operations for Russia. We have only seen minimal targeting of C2 capabilities.

Lastly, just wtf 🤦🏼‍♂️ https://t.co/8brD2nmszv

That'll sting more than losing a few hundred tanks.

It's my understanding Russia doesn't have much of a navy at this point. At least nothing that is very effective.

Wait, you mean that coal fired carrier that has to travel with a tug boat doesn't intimidate you?

Probably just another Russian feint. I'm sure the military wanted to lose this ship.

Russia just lost a cruiser which they said was the most powerful ship in the Black Sea. Besides that they only have 2 operating frigates and only one more carrier. if the cruiser was sunk Russia lost a ton of capabilities on the coast.

These are photos of the actual Moskva, for comparison.

Yep. Which is why posted that nothing was conclusive and why I then deleted it and posted pics of the actual cruiser for us to compare to any future pics that are put forward.

Not always in a position to save a source, do immediate research, and come back to it. Sometimes it's easier to post as a way to bookmark and then between myself and the rest of the board, verify accuracy. Trying to get out the door to the vet atm so this was one of those times.
