Current Affairs Ukraine

[Noisy noise annoys]

Do you work nights?

No. I can barely be arsed to go in even in the morning. Tbf it did use to be more in the afternoon and I’ve normally gone home by then

The tanks are there already and are older stock

I didn’t mean there as I there in Ukraine
If that makes sense

It’s actually 14 tanks and 30 AS-90 Self propelled guns.

The 14 tanks should be viewed as a catalyst for a change of perspective by the West rather than a standalone game changer.

There are 200 Leopard 2 tanks in Poland and Germany that are ready to ship. Germany just needs a poke or two from our Foreign office and it could be game on.

I hear that we are also negotiating with Jordan who have 247 Challenger 2 tanks in storage (we sold them a few years back). Jordan does not have enough trained tank crews to man them so they sit in storage facilities.

But, I wonder, does Ukraine have enough trained tank crews to be able to use the donated armour.

That’s already in hand. Training has already begun. The US for example can train 500 men per month on the Bradley’s

An older tweet, but it does raise questions about the AS-90 part. They've always been known to be unreliable. The Bradleys are pretty ol' stock too.

I heard the MOD bought back a load of them from Finland and then completely refurbished them. These are the ones shipping to Ukraine. Our existing stock is about to be replaced with Boxer SPG variant or maybe the Swedish Archer system.

I think Prince Harry might be a Russian bot, he likes to blame others too for his misgivings.

Lots of rumours on Russian telegram channels that Putin will officially declare war on Ukraine and the special military operation will end.

What would that change, i mean this is war already, biggest and bloodiest in Europe since ww2.

Maybe economy and production will go in war mode (increased production of war materials)?
