I'm 100% okay with that. If they don't get used, that means they didn't need to get used.

I don't think that's true. I really do mean it's going to be a logistical nightmare and problematic - unless some of these are crewed by "mercenaries" .These are 4 new weapon systems, and that's just artillery.

Some weapons are easier to "absorb" - MANPADS, Anti-tank weapons.
Others not so much...This is going to be an issue with SP artillery for sure. I also don't know how easy it is to train on a new towed artillery system. The gun itself might not be an issue, it's all the ancillary stuff that goes with it.

Most NATO/western 155 artillery uses compatible ammunition for this reason.

Yup, and Russians use 152mm, though some of their systems are available in 155mm as well.

This seems significant.

Large ammo depot captured by Russian forces.


And where would that be? There's something pretty fishy about that video.
I haven't seen much video of either side using a ton of mortars. Probably not a priority for the Ukes to secure them at this time.

Nice rundown on the complexities of keeping up with the Ukrainian demand for European anti-tank weapons.

Ship also had a normal crew of 510. They're about 90 short.

Germany doing similar. Sending armor to Slovenia to backfill it sending T-84s to Ukraine.

Saw some speculation somewhere that quite a few of the tanks Russia is sending in have been using a 2 man crew, with the commander also serving as the gunner due to personnel shortages caused by soldiers refusing to fight. Also saw stories that there were amphibious forces refusing to participate when Russia want to attack Odessa. Make me wonder if this ship was running with a skeleton crew, and if it had anything to do with the failure to intercept the missiles.

More details on the international Pow-Wow. Say what you want but there's probably as broad an international consensus/cooperation toward assisting Ukraine as we've previously seen short of a full blown active combat coalition.

Know this is the Ukraine thread, but it absolutely always baffled me that the Royal Army has about 400 tanks.

Perfect opportunity for NATO to send the Ukes their old Russian armor and upgrade to better stuff. That way the Russians can get blown to smitherenes by their own weapons. Karma comes full circle a-holes.

The Azov battalion surrounded all sides by the Russians making their last stand beside the Azov Sea, in a stronghold called the "Azov Steel" Factory is about as close to something out the Iliad or ancient myth that I have seen in my life time.

Is that actually new? The last shot looks very similar to the wreck of an An-26 from the first few days of the war

You might want to recheck that. Further down in tweet thread someone says it is not today, spliced video.

"Good Friday today. 64 omsbr Russians. The same one that was in Bucha. Today, some of them ended up crashing into the area of responsibility of 93 OMBr. They stormed the Kholodnoyars. They came. They lay down. Beautiful."

Thanks! Those hadn't been posted when I first saved the tweet. I usually save a batch and then post all at once. I appreciate the heads up!! I'll replace it with another one.

The state department needs to hold a matching conference for the post war rebuilding (Marshall plan). Morale booster for Ukraine and allows them to absorb damage to stay in the fight knowing they have backing to rebuild.

I'll be astonished if we're delivering M777s because, for us, those are first line artillery in active duty units, not tubes sitting in reserve stocks. Still betting on it being the plentiful M198.

I don't think we're delivering any ATM but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that we're cross training Ukrainians on them just in case.
