  1. But we shouldn’t forget that those weapons would only slow down an invasion, not stop or even prevent it. If we want Ukraine to stay independent, they will need more outside troops supporting them. Which is extremely unlikely to happen .

  2. Makes sense, can destroy everything Russia has near Ukraine that Russia may use against Ukraine.

    The UK supposedly has 20,000 of these and two C17 plane loads so far is an awful lot.

    It’ll play in deterring Russia from doing an invasion due to the cost to Russian lives and armour. And if they do invade it helps Ukraine.

  3. Well, at least someone is serious about that Budapest memorandum. Thank you, guys! You are one of only a few nations who have balls big enough to stand up to Putin.

  4. Great job UK. Clearly German driven EU will not do shit. Hope that Poland and Lithuania will help as well. Imagine German felchers will be furious if the do so.

  5. Why are we always the only country to step up and protect this pathetic continent from itself? Let the Russians roll through for all I care. We’ve sacrificed enough doing this same thing before.

  6. Do we have actual footage of the delivery?

    Was the Minsk agreement scrapped? Just a few weeks ago the US was in agreement with Russia about that being the only way forward.

  7. Germany really needs to step up here, their complacency is pathetic, Russia is not receptive to diplomacy, they just judge it as weakness

  8. What NATO needs is a show of force. like positioning 100,000 NATO troops in the Baltics, a joint US-UK Carrier Task Force in the North Sea, and a US-FR-IT joint carrier Task Force in the Mediterranean, both supported by allied ships. If Putin wants to show his teeth, it’s worth showing off NATOs.

    Russia is paper tiger in permanent and irreversible decline. It’s no match for the US and NATO, or even China. It’s nigh time to put Putin back in the cage.

  9. Ukraine need long range SAM and artillery. AT won’t do shit out in the fields when you are constantly suppressed by fire from aircraft, helicopters and long range artillery. Tanks and IFVs will just roll up and mop up what’s left after the bombardment.

    It would be interesting if the west said “clear skies” over Ukraine and Putin had to leave his flying equipment back home. Would have even out the playing field.
