How do ya'll feel about these exchanges remaining non-compliant with sanctions vs. Russia? If you're a believer, don't you feel worried that at some point the US government will drop the hammer on cyrpto? "Only drug dealers and terrorists use it." |

But that didn't happen. They flew only limited sorties. That left the skies contested, and it's the reason those drones are still flying as well. They have suffered huge losses as a result and STILL no wave of SU's. They are all sitting in the ground in Russia. Why? Maybe keep them back in case of a wider conflict. Just my WAG. |

I thought that Poland refusal at first was hardball negotiation. I'm sure they wanted someone to replace those donated MIGs with updated fighters. If this is true, then somebody did because there would be no way a country who's next on Putin's WARSAW appetite would give up fighters. It's either Germany, UK, or USA that behind it doing the updating for Poland. I suspect it's the USA because Poland wants F-35s more than ever. So does everyone else. Putin's invasion is probably the best salesman for Lockheed Martin. Would love to see their book to bill ratio are like in these next couple of weeks. I'm certain there is backchannel negotiations going on along the lines of "if you "loan" Ukraine some Migs we'll make sure you get some F-35s very soon". I think all of a sudden lots of NATO countries will be upgrading and expanding their military capabilities. They are getting the Turkish F35's. end of story. Ukraine or Poland? Lol |

If Putin is as paranoid as many are suggesting it would make sense that he is not committing valuable air assets and top tier ground units to this fight.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By prill64: Several EU countries came out said they'd provide Jets to Ukraine, older soviet stock they likely are retiring. Then they publicly backed out. One country even said "why would I do that it's crazy". But if I remember correctly from the original reports, the EU said they would purchase jets and donate them to Ukraine. This looks like the individual countries might not want to be seen as giving directly to Ukraine, and may be preparing to say "I sold them to the EU, not Ukraine", assuming the jets are being transferred. At the same time, Ukraine wants it known (whether true or not) they they're getting more planes. If there's an under the table deal to get them planes, there has to be a plausible explanation for how they got them.

What's Russia's manufacturing ability with regard to cranking out more aircraft? I have to imagine it's reduced, maybe that is a factor. Ground forces comprised of b-line conscripts from neighboring provinces and Ukrainian separatists are probably highly expendable. Russian leadership gives zero shits about casualty numbers. If they have to make it a meat grinder they will do so without blinking. |

The Ukrainian Jet that flew into Romania was returned unarmed because Romania didn't want to be seen as sending armed jets into Ukraine. Whether it should be a concern or not, the NATO countries are taking the stance that an armed fighter entering Ukraine from a NATO country would be provacative. They are sending munitions in, but those are going in through separate channels. The Ukrainian fighter that they sent back is having it's missiles sent back separately. Logic doesn't come into play in politics. |

Me too, they are advancing, but taking such heavy losses is not going to last forever. Might be the USA's tactic to bleed Russia dry to discourage taking other nato states. It's fucking insane what we are seeing, the Russian tactics are so stupid and their logistics are so fucked up I have a hard time thinking they accepted and planned for these losses. I don't believe they are that retarded, but maybe the soviet mindset of expendability is still there. They really think they can compensate with inaccurate firepower.  (Yes that is a helicopter/plane hybrid)  What's better? Sticking with tried and true designs that work, or blowing a shitton of money on bizarre designs that never make it past the prototype stages, or are unreliable, very difficult to repair, etc. (I believe at a certain point, the Nazi scientists were doing a dick measuring contest to see who could get the most outlandish stuff approved because they knew the war was lost.) I'm surprised though that the Russian vehicles are getting abandoned so often. I thought Russian equipment was supposed to be reliable and could take serious abuse before breaking down. |

I heard Russian pilots don't get many actual flight training hours, probably because the Russian gov can't afford to pay for the fuel, aircraft maintenance or pilot salaries. Then you have to consider all the air defence weapons that have been sent in to Ukraine; Russia can't afford to lose planes.

My understanding is Vortex got optics to some euro volunteers assisting the Kurds against ISIS, and it seemed pretty public so I assume there was a legal channel. Retail in Euro possibly? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PurpleOtter: Current speculation:
I think it's as simple as Russia can't extract resources from the population like the USSR could. Full blown Soviet Communism had millions of people that were effectively slaves. Modern Russia has a shit per capita GDP but they still have one instead of "all labor to the glory of the state". |

I've covered this for a week fulltime. 1,500 tweets. Probably have to return to a source of income now. Going to sleep to think on it. Hopefully things are quite tonight.

Army activates pre-positioned stocks for first time in wake of Ukraine invasion
The 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division soldiers deploying to Germany in response to the activation of the NATO Response Force are being outfitted with thousands of vehicles and equipment pieces from Army Prepositioned Stocks-2 for the first time in the program’s history. Army Prepositioned Stocks-2 are stock piles of equipment and gear waiting for rapidly mobilized units to tap into during international military crises. And for the first time in the 405th Army Field Support Brigade’s APS-2 program history, the unit was tasked with outfitting an entire brigade as soldiers from Fort Stewart, Georgia, deployed to Europe in the past few days. |
