Lots think they have,yet are always proved wrong. Over the last couple of years they've posted about successive weapons that would prove to be "game changers" yet not one of the many quoted have,then only 24 hours ago...
Saying that I'm sure they'll know better.🙄
If they make the Russians go about things differently than they have been then surely it’s a game changer. One weapon system be it long range missiles or an F-16 isn’t going to end the war. I don’t even really rate the F-16 and think other planes would have been more useful but I’m just a small voice on the internet hoping for peace.
 
Personally, I don’t believe these are using domestically produced munitions though.
I think they are domestically produced but with a twist. I reckon that UK and other nations are slipping Ukraine blueprints, design specs and access to certain components that allow them to reverse engineer and produce their own weapon systems.

Ukraine then modifies the designs to suit the requirements it has operating in such an electronically hostile environment. Western nations then monitor outcomes and adapt their own original designs accordingly.

Ukraine gets what it wants (domestically produced LR fires) and the Western nations (not including US here) get battle-proven weapon systems.

7 years I was in, 2007 to 2014. Didn’t get a single medal. Didn’t go anywhere hot and dusty but I know the east Falkland isle like the back of my hand. I’ve also got loads of pictures of penguins.

I did 5, only place I got sent was Rheindalen for a footy tournament.

I did heroically risk alcohol poisoning and STDs on a regular basis though.

Did 12. Berlin, Falklands and lots of detachments in between to interesting places. Loved it and it was only the birth of my first that made me take the decision to get out.

I was all over Europe, Albacete, JHQ, Rammstein, Gioia del Colle or wherever the RAF needed stuff taking also did a sports tournament in Paderborn but I was too ill (still pissed) to participate. I missed out on the Queens Jubilee medal by weeks as well.

I do know logistics though.

It was just time for me to do something new, if I didn't leave when I did I'd have probably been a fat 40yr old corporal still getting smashed at the bop every week.

Now I've got wife, baby and working as a nurse. Will never regret my time but I made the right decision to leave when I did.

I was the same as @Mutzo Nutzo had a kid, missed his first two birthdays as I was away both times and that was it for me. No regrets, just good memories.
