All the offensive materiel is coming from the USA, but don’t you dare call it a proxy war.

Ukrainians need to study present-day Libya, Iraq, Syria, Somalia.

Its their future.

The best way to limit the effectiveness of this stuff is with air superiority and rapid movement of your ground forces. Or staying hunkered down and not moving at all. The problem is that if you're not moving, it becomes much easier for the enemy to isolate your defensive strongpoints.

The Ukrainians still lack armor, and they don't appear to have a lot of offensive ground capability. But these are the kindo f things that will eventually swing the balance of forces in the Kherson sector to their favor.

Yet Ukraine is losing badly. Their “offensive” was decimated.

I wish the U.S. would stop whatever multiple factors have made my FPL bill surge to all time highs, rather than launder money in the Ukraine. Russia could bomb London tomorrow, and my life would go on as usual - only w/ a now sky high electric bill.

That’s awesome. Should come in handy against iranian drones.

Wow, just wait until these babies hit the black market and begin to terrorize civil aviation. Some will make it to the front, many will be destroyed or captured by Russia, and the rest will be sold on the dark web. Ukraine is a giant weapons bazaar, and investment in unintended consequences yet to come.

The first time I saw technicals. .50 caliber machines guns mounted onto pickup truck beds. Was in the Somalia wars of the early 1990s. So at least they invented that. Or perhaps got it from someone earlier?

How many of these will end up being sold on the black market like 70% of the weapons we've sent to Ukraine?

Aid to Ukraine is primarily money laundering operation. Are you getting a piece of pie, Timber?

In short, the system transforms pickup trucks and other vehicles into mobile missile launchers.

Where’d the $40B go? You’d think for that sort of money they could afford actual military vehicles.

This is a war between the US and Russia via a willing proxie Ukraine. Ukraine is crawling with US military “advisors” .

Now that Afghanistan is off the table, Ukraine is the designated testing grounds for live fire of the latest US Defense Contractor Weapons Platforms, on human beings.

Without the danger of US casualties (so far, anyway).

“Watch our latest XM23-TAC platform wipe out 75 soldiers in 3 minutes, from the back of this donkey cart!”

Woopeee!!!! Go Team America!!!
