i think thats just ATGM ,

burgers wants to sell us their jets , F18 hornet , f-16 , f-21 . some air defence missile thing . drones .

their plan for this decade is get us to buy as much of their shit as possible .

weed us off "russian dependence" and create "US dependence"

f18 for navy seems more possible now .. Drone deal as well .. for air force very less chance . In any case we ll be flying 100 plus fighter jets with American engine in few years .

Wow . Finally some concrete support from France

Requires a crew of up to 6 men to pitch it in, load, fire, reload rinse repeat while exposing the crew to small arms fire, counter battery fire.

Let the West arm them with Archer, then we talk.

They are pushing the F-15 EX.

He is really excited after this bit of news - https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/us-approves-f-15-sale-to-indonesia

The United States has approved the sale of Boeing F-15 Advanced Eagle combat aircraft to Indonesia for an estimated USD13.9 billion.

36 Indonesian-specific F-15ID variants of the Advanced Eagle, as well as related equipment, spares, mission kit, training, and support. Besides the aircraft's internal M61A Vulcan Gatling gun, weapons are not included in the package.

This enterprise of sending weapons to Ukraine is just mischief. It may only bleed Russia but will not change the outcome.

The funny thing is the weapons not being destroyed are being captured by Russia. Putin should thank Biden for supplying his army in Ukraine.

Xi delivers devastating blow to Putin as China pulls plug on sanctions-busting deal

However, UnionPay yesterday unexpectedly pulled out of talks with Sberbank and other Russian financial institutions on the West’s economic black list.

It is believed that the Chinese company is afraid that western countries will impose secondary sanctions on the firm if they cooperate with Moscow.

If we buy f15x ... we ll have such diverse store of fighter jets .. then aliens ll start coming to india instead of USA thinking our air force to be united nation air force ..

Is there any chance for a few (may be a hundred or so) Ukrainian marines still hold up in Mariupol. Their lives should be spared. Their bravery to be applauded. Although there Is no hope, yet their grit and determination is a stuff of the text book. The same thing happened in Ukraine in 1941 during WW2 when a few hundred Russian soldiers refused to surrender at Sevastopol to give the Germans a victory. In the end Germans brought in a rail gun which lobbed half a ton shell and broke the fortress. …… Cheers

Marines? No, it's the neo Nazi Azovs. These war criminals are fighting till the end, not because they are brave, but because they know the will be tried and executed. They have nothing to lose. Most are probably going to commit suicide like Hitler.

Indian Air Force renews support contract with Lockheed Martin for C-130J Super Hercules

The Indian Air Force awarded a $328.8 million, five-year contract to Lockheed Martin to provide dedicated and comprehensive support for its fleet of 12 C-130J Super Hercules aircraft.

www.indiatoday.in

12 C-130Js, $328.8 million for five years.

That's $65.76 million per year for 12 planes.

$5.48 million per plane per year.

We bought 6 C-130J's in 2008 for $1.08 billion.

i hope we buy gripen from swedes for multirole figher jet , then we will operate aircrafts from 11 different countries .

 

[Blademaster]

So now they will ban all the alphabets

That's the idea and then no one can communicate!!!

 

[Blademaster]

We all know this will have bad outcome for us, irrespective how they sweeten the deal.
They offer either vassal status like Pakistan (not even Korea/japan) or become an enemy state. Economy etc is important, but our strategic autonomy is invaluable.
These buggers are seeing us as cannon fodder for their future fighting enterprise. Like British empire did with our ancestors, fight for their fvcking interest. No SIR, I am not interested.

Fucking A right, sir!!!!

Boris Johnson concedes Russia could win war and proposes sending tanks to Poland

Mate in Canada who's served in Afg told me that apparently the British tanks are called 'british food truck', since pretty much all it is good for ( due to its slow speed), is ferrying food to the troops.
Sort of reminds me of the Korean war jokes by a few of the vets i met- who called the sten gun the british hand grenade ( coz it jammed so much, you are better off tossing it at the enemy and hoping it unjams and sporadic fires than actually use it)

Trouble is, F-15 is basically older, crappier Su-30MKI and India does not have a need for 4th gen heavy fighters. The nitche india needs to fill are 4.5++ gen single engine point defence fighters and 5th gen medium fighters.

Yes he shakes hand with John Cena.

Wow Ukrainians are getting Gucci gear. I thought they may be giving only older stuff, but Canada officially confirmed they are sending M777.

Canada announces artillery and other additional military aid for Ukraine - Canada.ca

As the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, committed earlier this week, Canada has provided heavy artillery to the Security Forces of Ukraine, as Ukraine has requested.

www.canada.ca

Added: After getting AT & ATGM from like a dozen sources, looks like the same is happening for artillery too. They will probably soon snatch the title of United Nations armed forces from a certain other military!

Won't be a issue since most of these would evaporate into thin air once they arrive.

Gawd they are so stupid. The more weapons they give to Ukraine, the harder Putin's heart and other Russians' hearts harden and make them want to get the entire Ukraine. I think they will not settle for anything less than a landlocked Ukraine and territory all the way to Dnipe River and a firebombed out Kyiv and surrounding it. All that is left is western Ukraine and western Ukraine has nothing. EU would have to shell out massive aid to rebuild western Ukraine for years and years. It would be $1 trillion or more reconstruction project. And Russia won't care because it has that Dnipe river to protect its southern flank and because once Russia has Odessa, Crimea is safe. I think Russia is willing to grind this war out to get the territory I just outlined.

 

[ww2historian]

Another great segment by Kim Iverson. It comes down to the US and the rest of the west saying to Ukraine "We will send you weapons until the last Ukraine is killed" that is not an exaggeration at all from what I have seen.

But dont you know how well that policy worked in Afghanistan... 200,000 mujahids dead for 14,000 Russian soldiers...
