This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

"A Ukrainian kamikaze drone is said to have struck a Russian 'Container' type 29B6 radar station in Mordovia. This radar, capable of detecting aerial targets up to 3,000 km away, was the target of this attack. #Ukraine #Russie #Militaire"



Guess this is the difference between the US military and NATO nations.


I heard on Lib TV today from an ex Army officer that some munitions will be immediately available, but with Ukrainian stocks so low it will take 2 full months to get the supply lines full and operational.
They should strap MTG and Gaetz to a pallet and throw them on a C-17 bound for Poland or Romania with supplies and truck them to the border.

"The SA-5 Gammon (Russian name S-200 Angara/Vega) is a low- to high-altitude surface-to-air missile system designed to defend large areas from bomber attack or other strategic aircraft. Initial deployment of an S-200 trials unit using the original 5V21 missile took place from 1963 to 1964 on the outskirts of Tallinn in Estonia. The first operational regiments were deployed in 1966 with 18 sites and 342 launchers in service by the end of the year. By 1967, when the S-200 was officially accepted into service, the site total had risen to 22, by 1968 to 40, and by 1969 to 60.

This reinforces that.

It is also possible, however, that the provisions were intended to allow Putin to save face. For example, by forcing Ukraine to repeal statutes that condemned the Soviet past and cast the Ukrainian nationalists who fought the Red Army during World War II as freedom fighters, the Kremlin could argue that it had achieved its stated goal of “denazification,” even though the original meaning of that phrase may well have been the replacement of Zelensky’s government.

In the end, it remains unclear whether these provisions would have been a deal-breaker. The lead Ukrainian negotiator, Arakhamia, later downplayed their importance. As he put it in a November 2023 interview on a Ukrainian television news program, Russia had “hoped until the last moment that they [could] squeeze us to sign such an agreement, that we [would] adopt neutrality. This was the biggest thing for them. They were ready to finish the war if we, like Finland [during the Cold War], adopted neutrality and undertook not to join NATO.”

We’ll probably send a tranche of weapons the next day.

Hopefully we have a large cache of 155mm ready to go. Air defense missiles as well. Those are the most immediate needs.

Possible? sure
Likely? Not at all.

Putin wants his land-bridge to Crimea, to project power across the entire Black Sea.

How do you know what their most immediate needs are? Just curious.
 
That’s what I glean from the news reports I’ve been reading.


What do you think their most immediate needs are?
🤣 How would I know, and I also read news reports. I was never in the military so maybe that's why I have no clue on their needs.

Fair enough.


I still have connections with the MIC 😊


Anyway, without going into detail I’d say 155mm shells are a primary need and that’s open source.


Air Defense and help with EW (electronic warfare) are priority 1A. The EW part is more critical than folks realize.
