Amid the attacks. Ukraine is actually doing amazingly well against Russian missiles. Hitting upwards of 80% even. 

Considering they don't really have the best quality or quantity of AA systems. Id say they have a thing or two to teach everyone about modern real life air defence applications.

Lloyd Austin says NASAMS are 100% effective, which really means those that it sees, fired and hit the missiles. But there were too many russian missiles, not enough NASAMS.

this war is a showcase and proofing ground for weapons manufacturers.

winners get all the sales - HIMARS is top of the list -> Lockheed Martin is the big winner. then there's Javelin, NLAWS

losers - russian airplanes, tanks. India is getting nervous, all its arm purchase from russia is not doing well, kena thrashed by Western weapons.

Can't say that. It's about the quality of the personnel as well as training and motivation.

Don't forget the afghan insurgents beat back 2 superpowers, USA and Soviet Union, using mainly soviet weaponry.

Also long queue.

Poland initially wanted to buy 500 HiMARS. Then they split it for 300 Korean Chunmoo, and 200 HIMARS, bcuz they will wait years for HIMARS.

Lockheed produce 50 a year, they can ramp it up to 96 a year. You have to wait many years for your order. 😁

Putin Trip Goes Awry With Angry Protests and Awkward Photo Ops

066a9e014e0f665cdf1581487892055a

The European Parliament voted a non-binding resolution to designate Russia a “state sponsor of terrorism” on Wednesday, just as Vladimir Putin arrived in Yerevan, Armenia, for a meeting of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Russia’s collective military alliance.

“The deliberate attacks and atrocities carried out by the Russian Federation against the civilian population of Ukraine, the destruction of civilian infrastructure, and other serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law amount to acts of terror against the Ukrainian population and constitute war crimes,” the members of parliament said.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova retorted Wednesday that the European Parliament should be designated a “sponsor of idiocy.”

Resistance to Putin is also bubbling up in other regions, even in countries that Russia considers allies. On Wednesday, the Russian president was greeted by hundreds of demonstrators in Armenia, carrying lit torches, signs that said “no to the war,” and Armenian, Ukrainian, and U.S. flags. The protestors gathered in Russia Square and Nzhdeh Square and called for Armenia to distance itself from Russia, according to The Moscow Times.

Armenia’s Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinynan, too, appeared to try to distance himself from Putin during a photo opportunity on the sidelines of the meeting. The behavior appeared to be a far cry from Putin’s last visit to Armenia in 2019, when Pashinyan took a selfie with Putin.
