The vast vast vast majority of these people dont follow the internal politics of Russia. It's simply "why are we helping Ukraine, it's not our fight. We should be spending this money on the border".

EU companies grapple with expiry of Russia sanctions carve-out
archived 23 Apr 2024 10:14:11 UTC
Regarding sanctions, you've always been able to tell they were causing pain for the Russian government based on how loudly and often Russian officials, propagandists, and foreign stooges simultaneously demand an end to them and also claim they're doing nothing. The Russians doth protest too much, methinks.
So, Senate will be in session shortly in order to advance the aid package. Is it guaranteed to pass today or do we have to expect one of the usual dipshits (Paul, Tuberville, Hawley, ...) to make use of some stupid arcane Senate rule to delay passage of the bill for a few more days?
Simple majority vote. Those fools can't do shit. House set it up that way with the rules vote
I've been seeing it will likely pass Wednesday
Doubt it will be unanimous consent, so that is out of the question. If they have more than 60 votes though to pass through the to debate and voting, I'd wager on late tonight or tomorrow. There won't be any amendments for this most likely, so that process should be skipped. I'd be surprised this takes more than 48 hours with Schumer in control and if 60 votes are on the table.
War time economy 💪

Yesterday I scrolled thru a headline on censor.net with a quote from a UA official that they are currently negotiating with multiple partners for 4 Patriot systems in total.
If they can also get some more radars (even Soviet-style, since they already know how to integrate them), and break up the launchers, that could give a real boost to mobile anti-air by the frontlines, provided there's sufficient missiles to keep them stocked
Yeah, and with Russia seemingly going all in with over-weight glide bombs right now, that means they are at a huge risk of medium to longer range intercepts, because they have to fly much higher and faster for those heavier versions.
All you need is 4 or 5 shootdowns, and that would probably turn the VKS down a huge amount.
Especially if they got greenlight to aim at Kursk and Belgorod Oblasts to shoot down the planes pummeling Sumy and Kharkiv
It's so great to be back on a good news swing! I know it swings back and forth, but the last six months have felt pretty damn rough. Let's hope everyone continues ramping up deliveries to Ukraine, and they can start closing the gap with artillery fire rates and get back to shooting down 90-100% of drones and missiles. I'd love to see future zerg rush attempts all end in abject failure for Russia.
US aid bill passing house

UK preparing 500 million £ package

US to put pressure on Germany to finally deliver Taurus
What an insane string of good news

Hopefully not only because they know something bad that we don't. That's the first thing that came into mind when I read your post. So many good news in such a small time-line.
I'm guessing it's the predicted Russian "late spring/summer offensive" which is said to involve a lot of new manpower & material from Russian side. This would be bad news for Ukraine if Ukraine had to defend WITHOUT aid as they are already stretched thin as-is. Ukraine isn't lacking in manpower, it's ammo Ukraine is lacking. Ammo for weapons, artillery, missile/air defenses. Russia is said to have a 10-to-1 artillery advantage at the moment, simply because Ukraine is running out of ammo.
Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander Warns of Russia Gathering 100,000 Soldiers, Potential Summer Offensive
The commander suggests that Russia's assembly of troops may not solely indicate an offensive strategy, potentially serving to bolster current units' combat capability.

With aid of US and othern western countries, any potential breakthrough from this additional pressure can be prevented.

Situation is not great NW of Avdiyivka RN. Street fighting in Ocheretyne, UAF trying to contain a breakthrough.
As per Tom Cooper, once again, the orcs taking advantage of UAF troop rotation to hit hard the positions being taken up by a new unit being brought in as the 47th Mech attempted to rotate out.
Not saying things are collapsing, but all sorts of hardware is needed at the frontlines ASAP.

Do we know how they make rotation? Pull forces back leaving positions unmanned, and only then send in fresh forces to hold said positions assuming Russian's didn't walk in?
It's the question of new troops being unfamiliar with the positions they will have to be defending. Which approaches the enemy uses for assault, where does enemy bombardment come from, how long the gap between shelling and assault, etc. Things the units rotating out know intimately be expereince, and fresh units have familiarize tehmselves with. If you apply excessive pressure at this time, bad things can, and do, happen.
Ideally, you'd want piecemeal rotation where experienced troops are being supplemented by new units so tehy can mentor them about each position's specifics; but this can lead to conflicts in chain of command, so I guess that's why they occasionally do it this way.
I am guessing there is more to this than what is being reported.

Attackems! Anyone know how Air Defense does against these? I imagine they'll be able to strike anywhere in Ukraine minus Crimea? Hopefully they can fuck up Russian logistics before the summer offense

Different sources saying different things, but from what I can find the M48 has a range of 300 kilometers. If that's true and the US is indeed sending those, the entirety of Crimea is within range.
I hope included in the actmos deliveries is a binderr with the locations of all of rusia's supply depots in crimia.
and the experienced units can't relay these things to the new units? it smacks of deep incompetence. this is at least the second time I've heard of something like this.
From what I've read, only a specific model of the S-300 intended for intercepting ballistic missiles would have a shot at stopping these, and even that one would be far from guaranteed to intercept them. I think it should be expected that most of them will get through.
That's because this is how the loss of Soledar started, which lead to eventual encirclement of Bakhmut.
I'm not going to judge how much you can/ can't convey about specifics of trench warfare in a specific frontline section, but yes, there are absolute organization issues at operational/strategic levels that need to be addressed wrt rotations
Yeah knowing the political climate in Greece there is a 0,00001% chance any Patriot is gonna be offered to Ukraine even with immense pressure,with European elections looming and the governing party seeing collapsing polls,no one is gonna even think to send them over,the general consensus is sending Patriots basically de-arming the Air-Defense and i gotta be honest i agree.The S-300 that Greece has on the other hand should be sent to Ukraine yesterday.
p.s. pronews.gr the site is LITERALLY in every sense of the word a Russian backed website that has been charged from the Greece authorities with spreading misinformation

This is their immediate goal though, not their endgame, we know they want to grow further than Ukraine, well, Putin wants to, and also destabilize NATO.
May see the bill signed prior to midnight. I'd imagine the first trucks may start moving in early morning. Hopefully Ukraine itself is ready to handle the incoming logistics.

I am guessing M39A1 might be the main one Ukraine is getting. It is long range, and the US doesn't use the cluster variant anymore. Pretty much all of the airfields in Russian occupied territories would be in play
As long as they get AA missiles in the first truckload, they'll be able to keep supply lines open to the frontline and receive and use everything else.
Missiles on the tarmac. Looks like we are getting a vote today and hopefully signed tonight.
Oh man it'd be so great if Ukraine hit some juicy new targets within 48 hours of receiving attackems

Took way too long to get to this point. But I'm glad we're here.
