Share of grain export by country wealth​

View attachment 226044
Set of two pie charts showing the destinations of wheat and maize exported under the Black Sea Grain Initiative.

65% of the wheat was exported to developing countries and 35% to developed countries.
For maize, the proportion was almost equal: 51% was exported to developing countries and 49% to developed countries.

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP – the largest humanitarian organisation in the world) also shipped wheat from Black Sea ports. As of July 2023, the programme had bought 80% of its grain stock from Ukraine, up from 50% before the war. Over 725 000 tonnes of wheat left Ukrainian ports to Ethiopia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya and Djibouti during the implementation of the initiative.


Matters not to Comrade Kevinski.
 
yes, Erdogan went there with the ability to reject proposals
Well the thinking was Russia would propose a new deal without Ukraine or the west. Maybe it got rejected by Erdogan ?

You’re probably right though I suspect even Erdogan wouldn’t want to upset the west to that extent.
 
Ukraine looks to be deploying new AI driven drones (Saker scout drones).

This is an interesting development in the use of AI in the battlespace. These drones effectively loiter about and using on-board sensors (thermal and optical imaging, exhaust gas detection systems amongst others) detect, classify and prioritise Russian military targets. These scout drones have an inertial navigation system and are therefore immune to GPS/EW jamming.

Once targets are designated the scout drones make contact with kamikaze swarm drones and direct them to the battle space. The AI algorithms then direct the kamikaze drones to attack the highest priority / high value targets first all without any communication or control from a human, totally defeating Russian EW systems.

It is fascinating to see this new development as it is the future of modern warfare - Skynet and terminators becoming a reality

I appreciate all the points you make about equipment etc. but unfortunately none of it will counter or overcome the back channel agreements between Russia and the US that decide who gets what and when.

Which is why you’ve got very little developments/progress in either direction on the ground.

whose thinking? there doesn't seem to be anyone else making those claims
