The Pentagon concluded a contract with the New York company SRCTec LLC for the production of these systems for Ukraine at a cost of more than $12 million. The funds were allocated within the framework of the Initiative for the Promotion of Security in Ukraine.

On Russian state TV they're saying the quiet part out loud; admitting Russia's "military" strategy is now based around killing and freezing enough Ukrainian civilians to force Kyiv to capitulate. https://t.co/yNIBlQVnby pic.twitter.com/CIAP6XnOb3

At Dzyga's Paw, we receive a lot of drone footage from the units fighting on the frontline. This footage was taken in the town of Soledar, close to Bakhmut. Russians spend thousands of shells for 3 months trying to break the frontline. They are failing. pic.twitter.com/3o41xg6CJZ

It was revealed to me in a dream that producers of key cruise missiles and components for them (engine producer ODK Saturn for example) have been actively expanding their workforce -> They most probably work 24/7 -> Western suppliers didn't disconnect machines they sold to Russia https://t.co/JufFLbDMuP

Western = Western European (primarily German) + the role of Asian Tigers (Taiwan, Korea) increased in the last years. Out of American companies - HAAS plays a major role. There is a bunch of small suppliers: Australia, Brazil, Turkey and mainland China but they do not matter much
— Kamil Galeev (@kamilkazani) November 19, 2022
Australia - ANCA, Turkey - Eroglu, China - DMTG. They did supply their machinery to Russian missile producers, but their share is very small. They don't matter much. Brazilian Rotoline matters even less. It's Western Europe, Taiwan and Korea who matter. And @Haas_Automation

This indicates to me that Ukraine believes Russia will begin trying to level Kherson from distance.
Ukraine will soon begin evacuating people who want to leave the city of Kherson and the surrounding areas, senior official says - REU

Germany is a special case though. When it comes to Italy, Spain, etc. I don't have evidence of their *government* officials supporting and promoting participation of their business in Russian buildup. In case of Germany I do

Concur. For all the talk of equipment being lost or funds being diverted into the pocket of Ukrainian oligarchs there is ample evidence tat the Ukrainians are putting it to good use against. Dollar for dollar the funding being spent by the US on the war in Ukraine is more effective at deflating the Russian expansionism threat that any other dollas spent since the beginning of the Cold War. Charlie Wilson's War doesn't come close.
Compared to the vast majority of the Pentagon budget, the weapons and munitions sent to Ukraine are almost all beef and very little bun. The Joint Chiefs should be envious (and they probably are, but not for the right reasons).

He was probably too critical of the "special military operation" on air.
Judging by use rate, the stockpiles of missiles are likely dwindling, but expectations that sanctions might quickly affect Russia's defense industrial production also strike me as unrealistic. Many of the early stories about production line shutdowns did not appear credible. https://t.co/4x027eXzbb
— Michael Kofman (@KofmanMichael) November 19, 2022
The first order problem Russia has is simply defense industrial output. Even with increased shifts, missile production is very slow relative to use. The second will be when they burn through stockpiles of components, and find access constrained, the third is likely machine tools.

well Russia ran out of fueling tankers back in April so...
Andy went over there to report for Task & Purpose in March and saw the need for an organization od experts to provide training and equipment advice to the Ukrainians. He's a great human being and his reputation precedes him everywhere he goes.

Russian forces are closing of certain areas in Melitopol and turning them into military bases whilst occupying villages and towns around Melitopol.

There is also significant reinforcement of the outskirts noticed.
There are reports of intense battles raging around Zaitseve South of Bakhmut. Russian Wagner troops are said to have tried storming Ukrainian postions there yesterday, but the the attack was repulsed taking heavy casualties. #Ukraine #Russia #Putin #UkraineWar #UkraineRussiawar pic.twitter.com/D69JoApJZJ

the UK has not had a real air defense gun system in decades. they (like most countries ) gave the AD mission to the airforce and disinvested most of the army ADA like the US did about 20 years ago.

they could, there were 600 built, and probably the best ones were the dutch ones (95) that were retired in 2006. how many are still out there, and in what shape? just to get the first 50 took months and the ammo situation is still not sorted out 100% (thanks swiss).

Explosions were heard on the territory of the occupied Zaporizhzhya NPP and near it in the evening of November 19 and in the morning of November 20. More than ten explosions were recorded, Energoatom says reports at least 12 hits at the plant site, reported the @iaeaorg.

Also how much R&D are we getting now on our drone, anti drone tech. My guess is we'll have rethink some of,our combat tactics snd weapons going forward with how drones have dominated the battle field in UKE74OA said:"These sums pale into insignificance when set against a total US defense budget of $715bn for 2022. The assistance represents 5.6% of total US defense spending. But Russia is a primary adversary of the US, a top tier rival not too far behind China, its number one strategic challenger. In cold, geopolitical terms, this war provides a prime opportunity for the US to erode and degrade Russia's conventional defense capability, with no boots on the ground and little risk to US lives."Rossticus said:

Shelling occur not only in Kherson area but also in all other places over the right bank. For example damage after recent strikes in Beryslav and Kozatske areas.
There were already reports about both wounded and killed civilians.

Monetizing the US 'lessons learned' is incalculable but enormous. However, the political/military/economic 'lessons learned' by our NATO allies is probably 10x's larger and even more important.BQ_90 said:

A pathetic show of force against those who were forcefully conscripted and refused to fight in the war that no one understands. This combined with blocking forces suppose to force refuseniks to fight, but it will only cause internal volatility in putins shaky foundation https://t.co/Ybiy6p59nM
