"Я сделал ужасную ошибку"
 
Presumably Russia "will respond" in the same way they threatened the day of the war. Or like they threatened the week after when aid started to be sent to Ukraine. Or like they threatened a few months after when the subject of tanks was raised etc etc

Putin is all fur coat and no knickers. Cant wait until somebody puts a bullet in his bloated head.

Terrible thing to say. That's the sort of thing that stops poor Vlad from being confident enough to clean the windows of his penthouse....
 
This is a truly stupid and needless move from us, by the way - there is alternative ammunition that could be sent, the toxic effects of it are fairly well established and no-one else (at least as far as I am aware) is sending this sort of ammunition anyway.
Maybe they know they'll only be fired in parts of Ukraine expected to he handed over to russia in exchange for peace? Let them clean up a little more mess? Or maybe putin is just sour 'cos he doesn't have the expenditure to compete with the heavy artillery if it's rolling in from all sides.
This is almost a play for play parallel with what was the soviet state, their trying to match American spending eventually bankrupt them. So he's blagged some supplies out of the chinese for cut rate gas and oil he's not allowed to sell elsewhere.

I think it’s a naive move by the UK based on its propaganda value and the fact the US won’t provide any, but CHARM 3 ammunition is very effective.

I suspect when handling Challengers over, they’ve looked at balancing our stockpiles while ensuring the UA get the ammunition they need.

I expect they’ll get a mixture of standard APFSDS rounds and some DU to get it off our hands, while helping knock out lots of Russian armour.

They come with toxicity risks, but those in the vicinity of these rounds will be facing much greater risks, including toxicity from their own weaponry .

I’m ignorant as to the reason for using depleted uranium, could somebody enlighten me?
