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.

Fox always has General Jack Keane on- as he was today. He is singularly uninformed and never mentions anything actually original or analytical. A viewer would be more educated following this thread than listening to 90% of the "experts" on the news.

he literally stated today that Ukraine only has artillery with less range than the Russian artillery which puts them at a disadvantage. and here we see M777s being provided which is probably the best tube in the world.

Know this is the Ukraine thread, but it absolutely always baffled me that the Royal Army has about 400 tanks.
The WWIII plan was for British tanks to quickly be moved across the channel to be used to counter attack any Soviet breakthroughs.

I think some were also sent to the gulf

That makes sense to me. Could they be transported through the Chunnel?

This is actually a bit of a change in course as I believe, at first announcement, M198s were specified. That's interesting. Hmm.

How do the Russians actually believe that crap? There's no way they can. They have to just be lying when they say they buy it. Seriously?

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


Found it. Recycled footage from February

Well he is right...it is a proxy war now...but it would not have been anything if they had not tried to roll over a weaker neighbor.

I'd say that equating that to genocidal intent toward the Russian people is, to put it mildly, a stretch.

But like you said, Russia brought this on itself by invading a sovereign nation out of expansionist desire. Our current administration had given them a pass on Nordstream 2 for eff sake. We haven't exactly been all that aggressive toward them.

Oh I agree...I was just talking about the proxy way part. Also noting they fully brought it on themselves.

Russians be dumb. And genetically endowed with a paranoid gene, apparently.

Example. Actual quote from a Russian expat in France I'm engaging with. Discussing how Putin can utilize Wagner and other extremist elements but claim Naziism as justification for invasion.

"I checked: Wagner is not a Nazi. And if Wagner had a relationship with VP, it's impossible because Putin wants to exterminate the Nazis. So not logical."

All points I've posed are passed through this filter. If Putin says something that is contradicted by facts and evidence then it's impossible for those facts and evidence to be legitimate. It's inherently illogical for anything to be factual if it violates Putin's assertions. She had the same "logic" for Bucha and Mariupol. Even videos and photos with no evidence of tampering are "clearly fake".

EDIT: Most recent reply on Wagner from Russian lady in France re: Wagner and Russia. And I swear I have no clue what propaganda joke she pulled this from. NATO generals said that Russia doesn't work with Wagner Group. Riiiiight…

"Well, even NATO generals have said so. If you don't believe NATO, who do you believe?
A few days ago I saw several articles: but the evidence has since disappeared from the net. I will try to find you the evidence that I had seen."

It would be interesting to distribute the modern equivalent of a bunch of FP-45s all over eastern Ukraine. Give the men, women and children a way to defend themselves

After doing some digging regarding the weapons storage captured by Russians in Balakleya, the following seems to be the case. Balakleya was taken by Russia days into the war. This isn't a capture of recent weapons deliveries. It also explains the carefully choreographed nature of it.

It's well produced propaganda in a secure area long held by Russians. This captured stash has no impact on hampering the current supply status of UAF and either

1) was off the board almost immediately.
2) is in large part Russian munitions portrayed as captured Ukrainian munitions.
