Foreign wars and disasters have been a cash cow money laundering Op for US politicians for decades. probably perfected by the Clintons in the 90's. Billions in US aid goes in, gets washed through various agencies and NGO's and a % ends up in the politician's accounts. iirc the Clintons handed out less than 10% of the money in Haiti, probably most of that 10% went to salaries and expenses for staff. This has no doubt been happening in Ukraine, even before 2014. I bet it is happening now also, although with all the focus and scrutiny, it's probably minimal. Probably the main reason "we" are helping Ukraine at all is the salivation over reconstruction contracts. I bet a large part of the anti-Ukraine Repubs are only anti because they have been locked out of the $$$ action. It's so fucking corrupt that I wonder if ANY US politician ever utters a word or opinion on ANY subject without being paid first! *All of this DOES NOT change the fact that the US should be doing much more to help Ukraine. |

I saw it so you have to.
“A Rybar bedtime story from the SMO”  Out of 12,046 (“from our data”)- Most of them are from these six countries, but only amount to about 7,000 leaving five thousand from….200 other counties? Broadest international response to anything ever. If half of them are dead, you’d expect that ratio to hold to individual nations, leaving the US with about 450 dead. We’ve heard of…14? |

The guy had quite the lot of equipment in his yard. S125s, BRDMs, trucks, all kinds of stuff. Against IFV, APCs and fortifications, even the old Saggers would be useful. Heck, bounce a couple off a tank and I bet the crew bails. The upgraded ones, using SACLOS instead of MCLOS and with greater speed and penetration, would give a modern tank a heart attack. While outclassed by modern missiles, the 3000m range is still nothing to sneeze at. |

Someone explain this to me like I am a murderously angry five year old. The package, which could be put together next year, could cap a renewed partnership between Washington and Hanoi with the sale of a fleet of US F-16 fighter jets as the Southeast Asian country faces tensions with Beijing in the disputed South China Sea. Vietnam is buying F-16s. Ukraine has not yet offered to buy F-16s. Vietnam has had this in the works for a while. A few years back their ban on purchasing western equipment was lifted. They essentially declined to buy the Su-57 and want to buy American and European instead. The idea is to turn them into an ally that is firmly against China. There is the key difference right there, buying. Ukraine is getting hand outs which is nice but you want priority you are gonna have to ante up. So Vietnam are buying the surplus ones? What are we going to do with the surpluses jets? Much of the aid we send Ukraine is not actual money, but estimated depreciated value of equipment.

I don’t believe F16s have been approved to be released even for purchase to Ukraine because of ESCALATION with Russia fears. Or so they protest. Yet ESCALATION with China is fine. I think we can agree the fear of escalation is long out the window with Russia. Well, anyone who is not buying into propaganda will not fear escalation. Russia is going for broke. As far as surplus jets this is what I see: You have other countries who have adopted the F-35 and are now slated to donate their F-16s to Ukraine. If we just donate surplus 16s then how will these other countries be motivated to buy more 35s? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Brok3n: To me this war is proving the importance of ground launched, surface to surface missiles with a variety of seekers and warheads. Systems that are mobile, easily programmable, serviceable and require little training. I'm all for F-16s to Ukraine, but keeping them going will consume a lot of resources. F16s are a short-term thing. Extending and extrapolating the development out fully, it's all about drones of various ranges & payloads, including GLCMs. What an F16 fundamentally does is attack targets at range quickly, both air and ground targets. Is that not fully replaceable with the right array of drones? As much as drones have made a difference in the current conflict, I think this is just getting started. |

How effective are cluster munitions at killing infantry in between the individual explosions? Is the whole area a killing field due to shrapnel? It really can vary depending on circumstances. In this case, one of the submunitions landed amongst those guys, and others nearby. I would guess a few dead and the rest injured by that one round.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By theskuh: Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By theskuh: Originally Posted By stone-age: Paywall. This would seem like a big deal. A group of Ukrainian Army soldiers pierced by Russian grenades and mortar shells arrived at a hospital recently in need of surgery. It would have been a familiar scene from the bloody war grinding on in Ukraine, except for two crucial differences: Most of the wounded soldiers were American, and so was the hospital the U.S. Army's flagship medical center in Germany. An unknown number of them have been shot, hit by artillery, blown up by mines or otherwise injured in combat. About 20 have been killed. Most of the wounded have had to rely on a patchwork of Ukrainian hospitals and Western charities for help. Now, though, the Pentagon has stepped in to offer some of them the same care it gives to American active-duty troops. When the war erupted in 2022, hundreds of Americans many of them military veterans rushed to help defend Ukraine. Nineteen months later, perhaps a few hundred are still there, volunteering for local militias or serving under contract with the Ukrainian national army. The Army has quietly started to treat wounded Americans and other fighters evacuated from Ukraine at its Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. Though the number so far is small currently 14 it marks a notable new step in the United States' deepening involvement in the conflict. I talked to some wounded/recovering men- and a couple women- while I was quartered at Landstuhl's lodging following my PCS in early summer 2004. Most of their stories were what you'd expect at that time: no direct combat but plenty of wounds from IEDs, random unlucky (or lucky, depending on how you look at it) mortar hits, and a couple vehicular incidents. Talking to the folks at Landstuhl now would probably result in some much more raw, direct accounts. |

I posted this earlier, but it was untranslated.
"Extremely intense shelling unleashed." Approximate routes of missiles and drones during the night-time attack on #Odesa🗺⤵ On 25 September, Russian forces launched a devastating attack on Odesa, deploying various cruise missiles and UAVs. TEXTY traced their trajectories using data from @war_monitor_ua . According to Nataliia Humeniuk, spokesperson for Operational Command South, the attack on Odesa lasted 1.5 hours and was characterized by an exceptionally high intensity. The enemy deployed 19 combat drones and fired 12 missiles of various types. The missiles followed highly complex flight paths, constantly maneuvering and approaching from different directions, in an attempt to exhaust the Ukrainian air defense system. The attack was primarily directed at the coastline, targeting the port and grain infrastructure in particular. As reported by Oleh Kiper, the head of Odesa Regional Military Administration, a Russian missile struck a grain storage facility, claiming the lives of two workers. In addition to hitting the grain storage, the Russians also targeted the maritime station building with "Kalibr" missiles.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LesBaer45: Like letting more H1B's into the country, because there's a shortage of 'tech' workers here in the U.S. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LesBaer45: Originally Posted By Ryan_Ruck: Originally Posted By RockNwood: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/494438/IMG_3934-2965569.jpg Senator Mike Lee is using our tax dollars to sniff out the nefarious billionaires funding NAFO buying torniquetes and scooby vans for the boys at the front. A mental giant! Obviously Lee is an expert on Ukraine and knows a crowd funding online gaggle of misfits is the perfect cover for a joint CIA and FSB psyops to enrich Joe Biden. What a piercing intellect! By the way Mr Lee, who funds your campaigns? He's always been a favorite Senator of mine but this idiocy is really dropping my personal opinion of him. Either he's ignorant enough to think that most people support cowering and hiding in the face of tyrants or he's pandering. I don't know of any other possibile explanations. Plus this weird obsession with NAFO when there's hundreds of other issues he could be focusing on. Like letting more H1B's into the country, because there's a shortage of 'tech' workers here in the U.S. Exactly. Like I told him in my replies to a couple of his tweets, he wants to focus on 0.5% of the Federal expenditure while whistling past the +50% that is SS/Medicare. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Saltwater-Hillbilly: Nice gun kill by that AVENGER crew. I wonder if that was a local acquisition or they have some sort of radar direction for "Slew-to-cue"? Also, I bet that Su-30 pilot was NOT expecting an accurate MANPADS shot from those boats, not to mention the fact that flying through .50 cal is never a pleasant experience! Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Saltwater-Hillbilly: Originally Posted By Capta: AVENGER KILL! AVENGER GUNSIGHT NIGHTVISION CAMERA KILL ON CRUISE MISSILE!!! Thermal drone drops Much more complete video of the UA boats vs Russian Su-30 battle. .50 Browning anti-air! It’s relatively certain that they did hit the Su-30 with a MANPAD as claimed, also that all boats survived. Although there has to be some hairy fucking video we aren’t seeing. Long video with UA MANPAD unit at the front. Will make a lovely urinal after the war Nice gun kill by that AVENGER crew.

Yeah if they repeat that exercise I think UA SOF will bring more MANPADS. Their .50 mount also had trouble with the elevation, so they need to come up with an AA mount. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sierra-def: I think we can agree the fear of escalation is long out the window with Russia. Well, anyone who is not buying into propaganda will not fear escalation. Russia is going for broke. As far as surplus jets this is what I see: You have other countries who have adopted the F-35 and are now slated to donate their F-16s to Ukraine. If we just donate surplus 16s then how will these other countries be motivated to buy more 35s? They aren't fighting for their existence like Ukraine. |
