      I’m sure whoever manufactures those is excited by that prospect too. But they’ve got to get through all the old stock first. Its a military industrial complex clearning house event

      Most anglophones have a nazi conception of how to win wars because their governments asked the defeated nazis for advice on how to win wars and that ideology was integrated and trickled down like piss onto the masses.

      I’m following the combat activities (the actual combat, not high level strategic stuff). It’s all mines, mines, mines and then some trench warfare.

      No amount of ATACMS can do anything about that. You still have to advance slowly, figure out where the mines are, clean them up or move around them and then take the trenches.

      Drones can do a whole lot more good for a whole lot less.

          /r/combatfootage on reddit. But you can also do it on twitter by following OSINT accounts (and you can combine the two). I just couldn’t deal with the constant twitter BS anymore. They both mostly have “second hand” sources. First hand are telegram accounts, but I rather receive it filtered and sorted by votes, so I never went that far.

            There’s also a few Lemmy communities but they either are completely Ukrainian or have very little post activity compared to Combatfootage.

          Yes that’s usually how wars work, right? You leave and then you negotiate.
          If we’re being idealistic then I wish everybody would just put down their arms all over the world and sing kumbaya

      Speed up the end of the world maybe. US only hope is revolving Russia or escalation to direct conflict.

      I think that once the F16 training is completed, it will really change the face of the battle field. I assume we are giving them jdams so they will be capable of striking hundreds of miles into occupied territory.

        I think that once the HIMARS, BRADLEY, LEOPARD, STORM SHADOW, CLUSTER MUNITIONS, F16 training is completed, it will really change the face of the battle field

        fast-forward 6 months

        I think that once the F22 training is completed, it will really change the face of the battle field

        I think that once the F35 training is completed, it will really change the face of the battle field

        I think that once the LGM-30G MINUTEMAN III NUCLEAR ICBM training is completed, it will really change the face of the battle field

        Aren’t there only a handful of Uke pilots that knew english well enough to do the training? I’m all for sending Ukraine whatever they ask for, but I doubt F-16s will turn the tide
