20 more Marder infantry fighting vehicles, 30 Leopard-1 tanks and four IRIS-T-SLM air defense systems. 15 Gepard anti-aircraft tanks, 200 reconnaissance drones, anti-aircraft ammunition, additional artillery ammunition and more than 200 armored combat and logistics vehicles. https://www.dw.com/en/germany-to-send-ukraine-27-billion-military-aid-package/a-65612028 Russian Telegram channel is also reporting, "Two Mi-8s, one Su-35 and one Su-34" were shot down in Bryansk region." Some good developments for Ukraine this week. They've seized back months of efforts from Russian forces in Bakhmut, received long range missiles from the UK, and are not seeing a ceasing of support from its allies. | ||

 Probably ground to air missiles but it's impossible to confirm anything so early. Edit: Looks like the the fifth aircraft was not confirmed. | ||

First one of the heli's was reported due to friendly fire but shooting down 4 things in friendly fire so close to eachother seems a bit farfetched. Wonder what happened. Is this Ukranian fighters going far out? Ukrainian fighters don't have the range and firepower to combat Russia's properly. | ||

It is such a paradox that Germany also still buys Russian gas, flowing THROUGH Ukraine, paying for Russian weapons and soldier salaries as well🤯 That gas might keep fueling this war as long as it runs, but noone wants to cut it off. Become energy dependant on Russia was such an unbelievable fuckup. | ||

I foresee annexation. Does Putin even have any spare resources to handle a new annexation and subjugation? | ||

God only knows what that means if he either dies, or becomes incapacitated and what will the army decide on. Doubt Russian forces stationed in the country can rely on any support from the Generals. The same ones who refused to cooperate in the invasion of Ukraine last year. That mutiny was far more from rank and file soldiers. Belorussian generals just like the civilian authorities are very much Russia aligned. I wouldn't expect much upheaval with death of Lukashenko unless Russia does something drastic. | ||

The German machine has to be working somehow or nobody will get nothing. Besides Nord Stream 1 is dead since last year August and most gas these days comes from Norway. The only Russians gas imported in Germany is over some third country which buys from Russian and resells to Europe. Maybe check some facts before posting nonsense | ||

"Belarus is unstable and we need to support them by annexation. But we need a lot of resources from the army for that so we can't keep figthing Ukraine right now. They are almost denazified anyway and we can come back later. Look how much new shiny land we got." Basically a made up reason to withdraw and enough new clay to hopefully paciify the warhawks. Sure they can probably do it even with the war in Ukraine but it's a good excuse and a shiny distraction. | ||
