Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar
- Thread starter areksnumbr1sxylady
- Start date
On these last day of the NATO summit, Biden just announced the largest military package yet for Ukraine
Ukraine will receive:
* 600 Main battle tanks
* 500 long range artillery systems
* 600,000 artillery shells
* 140,000 anti tank ammunition
* Long range guided rocket systems and ammunition, anti ship missile systems and ammunition and also anti air systems and ammunition

Maybe an attempt to influence Russian government thinking - 600 main battle tanks is going to take some time to deliver on and I dunno what they would be unless the US plans to pull some of the older Abrams that are sitting in their 100s parked up.
That seems very sus/dubious tbh.. give what they've been willing to supply before.
Looks like it's not a US delivery alone even though it was announced by Biden and not Stoltenberg. This is a NATO coalition delivery; many countries and even some outside NATO will be assisting to service this list

Lots of things like tanks/jets that turned out to be not-true. Gonna wait to see what happens here.
That's a lot of training that needs to happen for mbt's for example.

I've not too long come from a trip to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It was interesting to see first hand some of the side-effects the war has had in the Baltics. In Latvia they seem to be finally standing up for themselves on Russian issues and there was a big protest to take down a contentious war memorial in Rīga, something that would never have happened a few years ago.
I think in a sense they are glad that the rest of the world is seeing some of the **** they've had to endure for decades. Years ago I visited the former KGB building in Rīga, where many Latvians were taken and never to be seen again. They even had some of the spent bullet casing left in a room where people were shot.
The receptionist at the hotel where I stayed was a Ukrainian refugee. There are quite a few working in Rīga now.
On the 4 hour coach journey from Latvia to Lithuania I just happened to be sitting next to a Belorussian guy and we had an interesting chat as I was 'forced' to share his bottle of whisky for most of the journey. He was basically ****** off that the war was happening. As he stated it in Russian, "it's an unnecessary civil war among brothers".

It seems the traditional Russian bribery and corruption system is breaking down a bit:
A Russian mother paid a big bribe to get her son moved to a safe area:
Some DNR guy trying to get a certificate to say he's not fit but the price has gone up from the equivalent of $2,000 USD to $20,000 USD

Probably the only time you will get anything right
No I've never defended the Ukrainian Nazi element Azov but plenty of people in this thread have.

America have been drip feeding $1bn at a time, but then they pledged $40bn, so this is the start of that, funnily enough you can't just magic 600 tanks out of thin air
