Breaking News
Gerasimov still alive. As a reminder, there were rumours that he had been killed on a strike over Crimea a few weeks ago. These rumours had never been confirmed.
Delay in 155 shell production
The story is about Canada. But Imagine the same reasoning is applied everywhere: It won;t pay off commercially.
I'm very angry: Did they pledge support to Ukraine or not?
And also, why does it take 3 years to increase production when there is an emergency?
Beside this, the EU has already announced that they will fail short to provide1 million 500 thousand shells by March. Only 300 000 will be delivered.
One more Russian Su34 downed
True or not? We are waiting for Feanor to recoupe infos...![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The Air Force of Ukraine has destroyed an enemy Su-34 fighter-bomber.
F16's
Some infos about training and jet donated by Netherland.
Only 4 pilots being trained in the US will be ready for summer. Another 4, a few months later. And another 4 started learning English. It's not big numbers.
However, the Nehterland will give Ukraine 24 F16's. I imagine that there will be the same number of pilots trained in Romania for these jets.
The question is when?

linkUkrinform said:According to CBC News sources, the government doubts that this investment will pay for itself due to the lack of long-term demand for artillery ammunition in the world. It says that if and when Ottawa decides to allocate the funds, it could be years before production increases
According to the Canadian Ministry of Defence, it will take three years to expand and modernize the production capacity of 155-mm shells.

Rationally speaking it already does. But madness prevails. Now that Russians see that they have the upper hand, the prospect of peace is even more remote.koxinga said:But negotiations also happen because neither side is able to decisively prevail and both sides acknowledges that the cost of continuing stalemate outweighs the point of continuing their effort.
The Ukrainians were preparing fortifications for their retreat. They were planning for an orderly retreat with minimal casualities. So, I think that they didn't expect their defence to collapse so quickly. Rushing up reinforcements didn't save them. Perhaps increased casualties even further. According to Ukes accounts, there were 300 FAB dropped on them on a single day, and 250 the day before. This was 5x more than usual. On top of artillery and Grads. (Feanor: Sorry, I can't find the link anymore)KipPotapych said:The article also talks about the failure to execute timely and orderly retreat followed by chaos and unnecessary numerous casualties. It also mentions that they didn’t expect for the RU forces to advance and for the UA defences to collapse so quickly. It talks about the communications issues, as well as some units retreating while leaving others behind. Some weren’t even aware that the withdrawal was taking place.
