- It looks like following the Czech lead, the Poles are now sending over some T-72s too.
- The Czechs aren't stopping there either; they're also sending out BM-21s and Strela systems.
- Meanwhile, the Slovaks have already sent their S-300s.
- And as for the UK, on top of sending armored vehicles and even more NLAWs, it actually sounds like they might be prepping to send some AS-90s very soon.

Mastiffs are arriving👍

was posted yesterday👍

Not sure, but I think I read somewhere that they've agreed to give the Americans everything they've got.

The Poles are sending over some T-72s. Things are starting to get serious...

Another 16 Bayraktars have arrived 👍

Looks like the folks in Slovakia are stepping up too. When is it our turn in America?

The USA is sending another $100 million worth of Javelins. They really are the best can openers out there. 😁

Meanwhile, Germany is still saying no to those 100 Marder tanks the Ukrainian Armed Forces are asking for.

Looks like we're getting similar news about armor from the Czech Republic

Carl Lee27 said:Germany just gave the green light to send 56 PbV-501s over to Ukraine—these are basically those Swedish-upgraded versions of the old BMP-1s that some company out in the Czech Republic is holding onto right now.

Those are leftover DDR stock—standard Warsaw Pact gear. Two units were sold and they're currently over in Germany getting overhauled. Word is the delivery should happen in a few weeks, all paid for by the Ukrainians. I caught the report this morning in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

That’s just fake news straight from the Kremlin.😁
They'd expect everyone to open an account at a Russian bank and wire over dollars or euros just so they can convert it into rubles (or seashells, or Monopoly money, or whatever else).🤣

Putin just confirmed it—starting tomorrow, they're only taking rubles for gas.

That's 5,100 units at $25 million. They've already delivered 2,650.

bluemason3 said:Isn't its main purpose actually breaching standard residential walls?

Yeah, they've got rounds designed for armor and others meant for walls that detonate right after impact.
Word is the whole shipment is 5,100 units. About 2,650 landed in Ukraine yesterday, and the rest should trickle in weekly through the end of May. Production is moving pretty slow.
Looks like Ukrainians are gearing up for a long-term guerrilla war.

bluemason3 said:Does this suggest they're gearing up for offensives against cities seized by Russia?🤔

I don't buy it. That's guerrilla warfare gear—effective at ranges from 20m up to 1200m with high precision and various warheads.
