NATO Ministry of Information video thread

Probably not new info, but still interesting.

Hopefully the Ukrainians will put the physics into practice aplenty once they finish training.

Did we give them/sell them A-10’s?? :astonished:

I read that we are considering it. But then I later read that Ukraine requests something “fast and versatile”, not the A-10. Seems like a beggars/choosers thing to me.

I’d say that given the threat rich environment any number of Warthogs would suffer immense attrition.
Best policy seems to be HIMARS and other precision artillery systems.

(or create a NO FLY zone of NATO forces above Ukraine you spineless jellyfishes!)

Russia would most definitely have called that bluff and we would now be at war with them. Putin would love a pretext for a larger war with the west. In spirit I agree.

Three squads of vipers, one of hogs and one of something like C-27s to keep those HIMARS boys agile and supplied. Russians will be crying all the way to the border.

And of course keep that fantastic intel coming. Rivet joint is pwning the orcs something fierce since day -25

RAF Waddington’s ‘Rivet Joint’ seems on permanent deployment to Roumania/Poland. Can’t think why :wink: hope the team stays safe. Slava Ukraini.

Read a good post on Twitter on the availability of ammo for the HIMARS launchers.

  • 16 delivered of 500 reported in the US inventory;
  • Production of those missiles is ~9000 a year;
  • 16 HIMARS firing 2 pods a day is 192 missiles a day, or ~5800 a month;

So, selective use, picking targets through gathered intel, is better than spamming them.

twitter link: Mark Hertling on Twitter: “A strong & accurate comment by Ukraine DefMin Reznikov. Interestingly, I read several articles in major newspapers this weekend - all written by journalist - implying “We must give UKRAINE more HIMARs.” There are reasons we have provided the limited number & type systems. 1/11” / Twitter

I guess more of a CIA Ministry but I was wondering how they could take out Al Z. with a Hellfire with no collateral! I had no idea this existed! …
