If the Ukrainians make it through this, they will be wanting and buying something other than old soviet/russian built airplanes. So better that Lockheed or boeing gets the eventual orders for F-16s or Super Hornets, instead of grypens, rafales, or typhoons But bidet proba doesnt think like that |

What exactly does Leo 1 bring to the table? I think the Gepards are significantly more useful.

If the Russian’s position was hopeless it’s up to him to surrender. He still had his rifle and he wasn’t surrendering. The last drop you could easily look at as an act of mercy to spare him a long and agonizing death. I imagine the Ukrainians he was trying to kill are happy. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mcantu: what's the status of all the armored vehicles that Ukraine has received over the last year? they already got a shitload of APCs, IFVs, MRAPs, etc from a bunch of countries but there hasn't been much proof of their use. initially there would be some video of them getting new thee vehicles but for the last 4-6 months, almost nothing. how many have been destroyed so far? same for Javelin and NLAW. at the beginning there were almost daily videos of them taking out Russian vehicles but now there it's pretty much nothing. did the Russians change something in their tactics that cut down their use? There are plenty of pictures of western armor in use. M113, the US and foreign MRAPs and armored cars., you name it. Everything that’s been announced has been seen there, in action. Russian armor kills have been somewhat scarce the last couple of months because the rainy/mud season in Ukraine makes mobility difficult. That may be changing recently with the ground finally freezing. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By KaerMorhenResident: Willy OAM on YouTube has done some great interviews. I'm kind of concerned that Western assistance is either being outright embezzled or terribly misused by incompetent, but politically connected Ukrainian commanders. Before everyone get's upset, I fully recognize we have more than our fair share of those, but we're not in an active war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKZpYglZrW4We can give Ukraine all the top notch equipment and train their enlisted guys to a good level, but if they have shit commanders who keep having them do frontal assaults what's the point? I think lending the western equipment without providing western advisors is a BIG mistake if victory for Ukraine is the goal here. I also think we need an Auditor General appointed by the U.S. Congress like yesterday. Ukraine has had some serious corruption already uncovered in the last year that has lead to a lot of arrests and firings of top officials, but it's probably way worse than we know. I hate to say it, but something about Slavic Orthodox folks and their culture just sort of normalizes corruption apparently. I mean we don't see these types of things with Slavic Catholic Poles, but man Eastern Slavic Europe is just plagued with insane corruption. Yes, another “concerned” poster. You know what, the Ukrainians aren’t perfect. They probably have some corrupt bums and some incompetent officers. They’re also fighting for their lives against our strategic enemy and I heartily, 100% approve of every dollar and every bomb that goes to smoking those Russian motherfuckers. Matter of fact, fuck it send twice what we’ve sent. After they’ve bled the Russians white so that their whole damned evil empire collapses, we can worry about whether some Ukrainian grifted or wasn’t competent at their job.  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DPeacher: The ammo producer claims to have made 10 million rounds and has been paid for 10 million, but only produced 3 million and pocketed the difference. The producer then bribes the General that receives the ammo to report to the Kremlin that he received 10 million rounds. The Colonel in charge of the ammo depot "counts" 10 million rounds during the annual inventory because if he reports anything less, he will be court martialed. The Colonel also sells some of the actual 3 million rounds to various tribal warlords in order to boost his income. This ingrained behavior of Russian corruption continues down to Lance Private Conscriptovich, and it goes on and on for generations. Then the rubber meets the road in eastern Ukraine and the ammo runs out way quicker than what the reported ammo count is. And after the Cold War, why we would believe any of their numbers, considering what fantastical claims they were making about their economy, should tell us something.
