UK Gets Caught Buying Russian Oil Worth Millions | Europe | Rishi Sunak | Russia Ukraine War

“Kyiv’s allies have realized they can’t afford to stay away from Russian energy for long. We have seen the repercussions and misery it brought to the ordinary citizen. Such has been the double standards of the West. Promising Ukraine full support but then dealing with Russia through the backdoors. The latest to hop onto the hypocrisy bandwagon is the United United Kingdom. An explosive report has debunked all claims of full support to Kyiv by the Rishi Sunak-led nation.”
Hmmm. So if the UK gets to do this then India and everyone else gets to do what they want to do? 🥳

“Ukrainian Snake Island captives released in POW exchange”
The same Snake Island POW’s that CNN and many other fake news media said defiantly rejected surrender.
And the west is still barraged with unending pro-Ukraine propaganda from Daily Mail, The Sun, BBC, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC.
Are these the standard 8” Howitzer. If so,most came from depot stocks and were probably pushed out fast without the time consuming depot overhaul standards being executed, Their is a phrase in government, ‘You can get it right or get it fast, you can’t get it both ways and if you want it ‘really, really bad’ that is what you will get.
So Russian arty barrels don’t wear out either?
Bunch of idiot reporters. Our weapons were never intended for REAL combat.
That means more than 200 tubes are still working.
350 howitzers is a huge artillery investment. Like a major WWII invasion. How did a third of them break down. That’s a serious issue.
It’s such an odd world.
The US will supply weapons to the troops righting Russia.
The US will repair weapons that break down while fighting Russia.
Poland will host repair facilities used to refurbish weapons needed to fight Russia.
But, of course, neither the US nor Poland is at war with Russia.
Uh huh.
Without more information, this article is meaningless propaganda.
How many rounds are they designed to fire before they require maintenance?
How many rounds did they fire before they required maintenance?
How long are they designed to be down for maintenance?
Are they down longer than they are designed to be down, and if so, why?
Russia lost 50% of its occupied territory in the past 6 months with 33% of Ukraine’s howitzers in the shop?
Wow! Putin’s army really sucks!
You posted an enemy garbage piece from a slum of the Net and flooded your own thread with more enemy garbage. What a class act. Looks like it came from a third world hole like Russia.
More Russian propaganda, eh troll?
U.S. artillery designs are not faulty. Howitzers eventually wear out and are exchanged for rebuilding. Ours are more durable and accurate than Russian junk. Russia will lose and has already lost in more important ways. That nation’s name is mud.
It’s an artillery war on both sides. Russia has had the advantage in sheer numbers, but both sides are making heavy use of what they have. The barrels wear out and have to be refurbished. You hear about how Ukraine is handling it, you don’t hear how Russia is handling it. That doesn’t mean Russian barrels don’t wear, it means no one is writing stories about how and where they repair them.
This war has a lot in common with WW1.
This is interesting reporting. It gives an insight into the problems of war fighting that Hollywood movies don’t cover.
In Vietnam, I was assigned to a 155mm Howitzer battery (self-propelled). At any given time two of our six guns were usually down, and sometimes as many as four guns would be down. We would usually wait a week or two for spare parts each time a gun went offline.
I imagine getting spare parts would be a major problem for the Ukrainians. People don’t realize that in a war, stuff breaks. All the time. And you can’t just run down to the hardware store and buy a part to fix it.
The Russians laugh while they’re retreating? I didn’t know that. Thank you for sharing!
