💯 Journalism would be much better off if the industry stopped hiring people who studied journalism and instead hired people with some technical knowledge of the field they're going to cover.

Tonight, Ukrainian forces conducted another successful drone attack on the Russian Slavyansk-na-Kubani refinery in Krasnodar Oblast, with multiple drones hitting the facility. Seen below, a Ukrainian one-way attack drone slams into the burning Russian refinery.
There is significant nuance behind the ineffectiveness of GLSDB that is hard to elucidate in a public setting. JDAM-ER and GMLRS have been heavily stressed by Russian electronic/kinetic defenses, yet the Ukrainians have adapted and continue to employ them with moderate efficacy.

🇨🇦🇺🇦 The first 10 of 50 additional Armoured Combat Support Vehicles ordered for Ukraine will be delivered this summer. Ukraine has already received 39 ACSVs, which were part of a 360 vehicle order for the Canadian Army that was placed with General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada…
Bizarrely low level of effort from Canada. Is there something wrong with Trudeau, cognitively or in terms of moral fibre? Canada is a very decently sized economy. It should manage easily ten times the total number below. The war is now, the stakes are now. Come on.

Another country pledged to contribute to the German air defence initiative. Belgium will contribute a total of €200 million, which makes Belgium the top contributor. The German initiative has thus currently pooled €350 million for Ukrainian air defence. eurointegration.com.ua/news/2024/04/2…
According to the German MoD, Canada pledged to contribute to the German Immediate Action on Air Defence initiative (#IAAD), which aims to strengthen the Ukrainian air defence in the short term. However, neither the Canadian side nor the German MoD has so far announced if Canada…
In other words: No 🇪🇸, 🇬🇷, 🇺🇸, 🇳🇱 or 🇵🇱 Patriot batteries for 🇺🇦. I don't remember 🇸🇪 or 🇷🇴 refusing to send one - but it's pretty unlikely. 🇫🇷 and 🇮🇹 are also not going to send another SAMP/T. That's ridicilous. We're sending 3 batteries - and you can't find a single one.

One other problem is that every day you wait, the waiting line gets longer. Germans are preparing to send in orders for another 4-6 batteries, on top of the 4 they already requested. Then there're the Polish + Swiss + Spain orders. Every day, more nations order new batteries.
This is also the inevitable result of successive Administrations and Congresses nickel and diming our PATRIOT force for the better part of three decades. U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery has extremely little slack to respond to our own or our allies' contingencies.

So much back and forth over X nation not wanting to donate X Patriot system for X reason. This is feet dragging over a system in production with a line facilitized to produce 1 system a month. Use that USAI money to order new batteries. They will get there in 18-24 months.
Wouldn't be the first time Ukrainian officials have misunderstood how US security assistance and arms exports control laws work.

As I always say, the US Army doesn't have enough Patriots for their own operational requirements, but one of those requirements is having a Patriot Battalion in EUCOM. EUCOM's Battalion is much more useful in Ukraine than it is in Poland. President Biden needs to make that…

Patriots aren't a silver bullet but they are the only system that can intercept Russia's most advanced missiles, and they are the only system that can push the 🇷🇺 Air Force back from the frontline. No other system has the range to stop the VKS' devastating glide bomb attacks.

🇨🇦🇨🇿🇺🇦 Canada is committing another $13 million CAD, for a total of $53 million CAD, to the Czech artillery ammunition initiative. Pretty paltry amount for a rich country like us. Still no real investments in Canada's own domestic 155mm production too. Link in alt text.

There is significant nuance behind the ineffectiveness of GLSDB that is hard to elucidate in a public setting. JDAM-ER and GMLRS have been heavily stressed by Russian electronic/kinetic defenses, yet the Ukrainians have adapted and continue to employ them with moderate efficacy.
Not too surprising that munitions that require OTH targeting capabilities like GPS don’t function that well in EM saturated environments without employing lots of enabling jammers and decoys. Those long range strikes with other systems burn up *a lot* of assets to succeed.
Bizarrely low level of effort from Canada. Is there something wrong with Trudeau, cognitively or in terms of moral fibre? Canada is a very decently sized economy. It should manage easily ten times the total number below. The war is now, the stakes are now. Come on.
🇨🇦🇨🇿🇺🇦 Canada is committing another $13 million CAD, for a total of $53 million CAD, to the Czech artillery ammunition initiative. Pretty paltry amount for a rich country like us. Still no real investments in Canada's own domestic 155mm production too. Link in alt text.
@ColbyBadhwar Given Pushkarenko's political party affiliation I wouldn't be surprised at all (Servant of the People is *generally* the collection of the most incompetent MPs in UA).
If you're interested in monitoring, and analysis support Ukraine by West, I highly recommend you checking out @ColbyBadhwar - He is professional who devotes a lot of time to it. His work is great for understanding complex situations.
Another country pledged to contribute to the German air defence initiative. Belgium will contribute a total of €200 million, which makes Belgium the top contributor. The German initiative has thus currently pooled €350 million for Ukrainian air defence. eurointegration.com.ua/news/2024/04/2…

In other words: No 🇪🇸, 🇬🇷, 🇺🇸, 🇳🇱 or 🇵🇱 Patriot batteries for 🇺🇦. I don't remember 🇸🇪 or 🇷🇴 refusing to send one - but it's pretty unlikely. 🇫🇷 and 🇮🇹 are also not going to send another SAMP/T. That's ridicilous. We're sending 3 batteries - and you can't find a single one.
🇺🇲🇺🇦 Just now: Sec Def Austin announced $6 billion Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative package for Ukraine, includes Patriot missiles, AMRAAMs for NASAMS, additional CUAS assets, artillery ammo, and more. No mention of new Patriot batteries though. Reminder: USAI funds…
It seems Germany is the only country right now that is thinking with its brains on when it comes to Ukrainian ballistic missile defense. If Germany sends a 4th battery, European partners must at the very least give up building slots with Raytheon for replacement batteries.
One other problem is that every day you wait, the waiting line gets longer. Germans are preparing to send in orders for another 4-6 batteries, on top of the 4 they already requested. Then there're the Polish + Swiss + Spain orders. Every day, more nations order new batteries.
