The United States will send 40 armored riverine boats to Ukraine as part of the latest assistance package.

The riverine boats are part of a $400 million aid package announced Friday. It’s the second time the U.S. is sending riverine boats to Ukraine as part of ongoing assistance in response to the Russian invasion.

The aid assistance package does not detail the type of riverine boats the U.S. is sending to Ukraine. Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh did not provide details but said that how the riverine boats will be used is up to the Ukrainian forces.

The U.S. previously sent 18 riverine boats in June. Metal Shark sent six of those boats, USNI News previously reported. Six patrol boats are already operating in the Black Sea, Naval News reported.

Also part of the package announced Friday are 45 refurbished T-72B tanks.

You should be worried about that mutiny outside your front door, Comrade Kazan.

Guess the Coast Guard will be down to swimming or rowboats. Maybe they can raise the Sagebrush-WLB399 sunk off the coast of Georgia(our Georgia not the other one) to house fish and bait critters.

Maybe we should send over some of our generals to serve.

You realize Russia could turn the lights out at any time in Ukraine?

Did you even vote for Trump in the last election?

“He’d just shoot himself in the ass. Again.”

He’d try and miss. His ego would block a clear view of the front sight.

Kazan - 8th November 2022 https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4107078/posts?page=38#38
The Ukrainian military has for weeks tried probing attacks in the Kherson region. These had no significant results while the attacking units had high losses.
...Ukraine has for weeks had no success on the battle field.
..The campaign is misleading. Ukraine is losing the war badly


your predictions are consistently bad since November 2021.

seriously, give up and go to the Tatarstan countryside outside your current city of Kazan.
