They probably gave biden his spiked grape juice in his sippy cup, and he woke up in Ukraine and just wondered around. THAT was the surprise. The label 'Dementia Joe' just doesn't do his state of mind justice.
Apparently he had to get permission :rofl:

Race Of Logistics: NATO's Military-Industrial Crisis
Race Of Logistics: NATO's Military-Industrial Crisis | ZeroHedge


As proven by Stoltenberg’s press conference, there should thus be no doubt that NATO is experiencing an unprecedented military-industrial crisis, which is responsible for reshaping its members’ narratives and overall strategy towards the Ukrainian Conflict.

This self-declared “race of logistics”, which he also described as a “war of attrition”, first of all proves that the bloc wasn’t prepared for waging a prolonged proxy war against Russia otherwise they’d have preemptively retooled their military-industrial complexes accordingly. The New York Times’ recent admission that the anti-Russian sanctions are a failure also suggests that NATO completely miscalculated in this respect by expecting Russia to collapse as a result of those restrictions, which didn’t happen.
Interesting post on Twitter regarding ammo supplies to the Nazi Wagner group. In a world of misinformation I'm willing to bet Russia's struggling to supply its own forces never mind these homegrown goose steppers.

The allied forces have been largely reactive so far but I've seen posts that indicate things are ramping up slowly. If I come across the links I'll post them here.

I also came across the story of willow run. For me this is the pinnacle of engineering excellence and its truly staggering what can be achieved when needed. Link below

With the article posted by @gwminor48 still fresh in my mind I stumbled upon this recent interview with Stephen Kotkin giving me more to think about lol. While i haven't watched the entire interview i watched enough to say that wherever you are in the world or whenever you are politically there's something for you to run with in here

Thanks, Stephen Kotkin and the Hoover Institution are well worth the time to watch ..

" .. and so they ( EU ) are a success we can talk about the EU we live here in a country ( USA ) where the left loves the European Union and yet the will not let us teach Western Civilization on a college campus where Western Civilization is evil to them ( the left ) and yet they love the European Union and then the right they detest the European Union and yet they ( the Right ) want Western Civilization to be taught on the college campus .. so it's a very strange situation that we find ourselves in .. " - Stephen Kotkin

How very interesting ..

That's right Russia, keep following this insane madman....you are allowing this genocidal POS to destroy your country...as well as possibly the world now. Grow up...you didn't do anything when he attacked, mutilated, raped a sovereign nation, are you going to do anything now?

Interesting story and video showing the mess the Razi's are willing to work, rest and play in. It also shows the trajectory of himars through several floors. Translation in second tweet

"I will be sorely disappointed if Tucker Carlson hasn't already booked his ticket" :rofl:

Yuri Tucker gets another mention concerning a claimed 200k in a 81k stadium. This is reporting Russian style :D

"Was @TuckerCarlson the opening act?"

Also reports of the crowd being wooed with cash and sausages.

"A rally in Moscow held by President Putin has appeared to have failed to engage the country, with crowds enticed to attend with money and sausages."

Russia is sending their most modern next generation Tank. T-14 Armata has a unmanned turret and the crew are in the front of the tank in a armored crew capsule. Its also equipped with active protection system, i.e a AESA radar to detect incoming rounds and then uses soft kill( laser,infrared dazler, smoke screen) or hard kill( fires of buck shot type canisters) to defeat the incoming projectile. It also turns the turret to the direction of the threat.



This tank formation is supported by BMPT terminator, this is repurposed T72 tank chassis equipped with twin 30mm gun and ATGMs, basically same firepower as a Attack helicopter. So far only one has been known to be destroyed by artillery. Otherwise this think packs a punch, hard to detect due to low profile and has modern Flir and night vision.

This BMPT terminator was made from the lessons learned from Chechen urban war, where tanks suck due to poor vision, limited mobility and piss poor gun traverse.

Basically every tank nerd is waiting to see how these perform, since this will directly impact the future of AbramsX prototype tank, which was made in response to T14 Armata.

I didn't see a lot of trees falling in that clip from Zoka. Must be firing blanks :D

Your right though. With the new equipment arriving things are going to get interesting.

China will use ukraine to test its weapons, they are going to take taiwan one way or the other. While US and Nato is busy depleting their weapon stockpile. UK, France, Germany and every other EU country can give all of their tanks and Russia will still have 5 to 1 advantage in numbers.
While the US is yet to start making export variant M1 abram for ukraine.

@Griswalduk
Russians have started producing western analogue ammo
USA Excalibur shells guided by GPS vs Russian Krasnopol laser and glonass guided. Seen footage of them hitting moving armor, so must be lased by a UAV.

Himars/M270 also has a russian analogue Tornado S which is Glonass/GPS guided with 120km range, started appearing in ukraine since this year. The chinese also have clones.

This may explain why US or UK announced they are going to give higher range weapons, since current Himars being sent to ukraine has a 80km range.
