Wonder what the value is of that fancy kit? Some expert on radio said $800M will last about 7 days. Presume this must include supplies/ammo/disposable items.USA sending some serious kit over.
Russia aren't going to win this war.
You do have to wonder whether some of these drones are actually being flown from Las Vegas etc. rather than someone in Eastern Ukraine……USA sending some serious kit over.

Not sure what the value of each unit is, but those drones are one time use only. They aren't reconnaissance drones or howitzers that you can use over and over again, they're one-off weapons. Lot of $$$ there for one use items!

Not just that. Cut off Ukraine from its ports and they strangle the economy. Massively reliant on their ports for agricultural exports in particular.Rumblings from one of the Russian generals that Moldova will be next if they can take enough of Ukraine to link up with Transnistria.

I believe they've had Russian soliders in there for some time aiding some dissidents who wished to remain in the USSR?Rumblings from one of the Russian generals that Moldova will be next if they can take enough of Ukraine to link up with Transnistria.

Even a 1x use is amazing when it can take out a vehicle full of soldiers, or 5 of them can while out a whole tactical hq.Not sure what the value of each unit is, but those drones are one time use only.

edit: Just saw something which says this latest $800m included 40,000 artillery rounds
I’m sure the uk and other country’s will free up some Of their reserves for them.Poland and Bulgaria getting gas supply cut off tomorrow....
We don’t have any reserves. The Tories let private companies close down our gas storage depots and redevelop them.I’m sure the uk and other country’s will free up some Of their reserves for them.
I wonder how these tanks will get into Ukraine . Are roads and rail network in and out of Poland to Ukraine generally under Ukraine control ?Germany has just announced that they’re supplying 50 tanks to Ukraine. That’s going to piss Russia off.
Or polish controlI wonder how these tanks will get into Ukraine . Are roads and rail network in and out of Poland to Ukraine generally under Ukraine control ?
Russian forces primarily in East and Southeast - long way from polish border. Attacks near Polish border are either by long range missiles or aircraft.I wonder how these tanks will get into Ukraine . Are roads and rail network in and out of Poland to Ukraine generally under Ukraine control ?
But all this shows is that once again the excuse about not being able to work our way off it for years and years is bullshit. We can do it if we want to. We just can't be arsed and the nice people who own all the oil want to be able to afford another yacht.
fuck you putin
Depends on the direction of travel. Can’t see it being an issue.I wonder how these tanks will get into Ukraine . Are roads and rail network in and out of Poland to Ukraine generally under Ukraine control ?
I know someone who’s done a few trips delivering with an organised charity. First trip they did through Hungary who by all accounts were complete cunts and held them up at the border with Ukraine for best part of 24hours, second trip they did through Poland and apparently drove the trucks onto a train in Poland which took them into Ukraine where they then drove of the train to a nearby warehouse before returning by the same train. Last trip he did was with vehicles (Toyota pick ups and ambulances) which they handed over in Poland at the border. Basically he’s said there’s no issues at the border so long as it isn’t the one with Hungary.Russian forces primarily in East and Southeast - long way from polish border.

Potential for strikes from Belarus territory also. Russians don't have capacity atm to send ground forces to deal with Polish border area.
Moving anything between Hungary and Ukraine by rail is slow as different gauge railways. We had long delays moving agricultural crops and inputs between the 2 countries by rail.I know someone who’s done a few trips delivering with an organised charity.

Lmao we have billions in reserves the fuxk you get your info from?We don’t have any reserves. The Tories let private companies close down our gas storage depots and redevelop them.
This was by road. They held them at the border. It was a proper experienced charity too and all paperwork was in order. They basically held them up for the sake it.Moving anything between Hungary and Ukraine by rail is slow as different gauge railways.

That said still a lot of pro-Russian anti-ukrainian feeling amongst some Hungarian political groups. More noticeable now Hungarian election finished.
FFS they aren't going to attack Poland, Poland is in NATO, this means NATO would have to defend them and we have already done this to death.
I see Johnson has been heavily criticised in Poland for ‘loose lips’.

He just can't bloody help himself can he?
I'd cheerfully acknowledge the government appear to be doing good work in supporting Ukraine with weapons, but surely the sensible thing to do is to not overblow it for the purpose of domestic politics. Less talk, more weapons, would seem to me to be the smart strategic approach.
I can see we're still hugely behind the pace on helping refugees from the conflict though, which remains inexcusable, imho.
