The British government said on Tuesday it would commit its largest-ever tranche of military aid to Ukraine as part of a package worth £500 million ($622 million). The assistance will include further deliveries of Storm Shadow air-launched, precision-guided missiles, as well as vessels and vehicles.
The Paveway IV—the latest in the Paveway series of bombs—converts unguided munitions, also known as "dumb bombs," into precision-guided weapons. They can use laser guidance or satellites to find their way to a target.
"The Paveway IV will enable Ukraine to strike back" at Russian forces and target high-value assets such as command centers and Moscow's air defenses, military expert David Hambling told Newsweek.
"Effective anti-aircraft systems on both sides have greatly reduced the impact of tactical airpower," Hambling said. "This is why planes need longer-range weapons like the Paveway IV so they can strike from outside the danger zone."
The U.K. has also pledged additional air-launched long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles.
The U.K. aid comes as the U.S. gives the greenlight to a substantial new military aid package to Ukraine, after more than $60 billion in assistance spent months ensnared in Congress. President Joe Biden rubberstamped the package on Wednesday, and the Pentagon announced a $1 billion tranche of aid to cover Ukraine's "most urgent requirements."...

Oh, Daddy…. THEY’RE BEING MEAN TO ME.
Remember when mommy posted the lyrics to the Baby Shark song over and over?
“Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Baby shark!”
Talk about weird.
From there, she went to Grey Rock Therapy. The woman is a nutcase.
LOL - they like those kids’ songs, don’t they?

It means Russian AD, not AD around Moscow - poor writing.
weary of hourly ukraine propaganda threads

Every day there are more pro Russian threads posted than UKR threads.
Sounds as you’re opposed to free speech.
baloney
Count them your self. I did.
B.S.
I do see some pro-Russian propaganda on here, but the Uke-propagandists are far more prolific with the spam.
We can’t take your word because what you consider as Russian propaganda probably is only in your mind and subject to interpretation.
There is some, but it is usually by a couple people and it isn’t frequent.
To them, I think any threads about disappointment with Speaker Johnson and anything opposing that foreign aid bill is “pro-Russian.” Which, of course, is nonsense.
That is what I figured, Honestly, there really isn’t much Russian propaganda posted because mainstream sources try to never have articles about anything that would be positive about Russia.
I see this mindset of “if you don’t agree with me then you must be whatever opposed to me that I think is bad” mentality regarding other issues too.
The Biden regime does it all the time and I think this is where the Zeeptards get that. They can’t stand to be opposed so they demonize and seek to brand the opposition as something bad.

Something to keep in the back of the mind as we get further into the election cycle.
I see one of your cohorts, Firehath, was zotted - maybe you are next?
