Even countries in South America are paying the price for the unjustified Western sanctions against Russia. Luckily, for Peru, Bolivia will cover half of its fertilizer needs.
"Peruvian campesino unions are taking strike action across the country over the rising costs of fuel and fertilizer. Peru imports almost all its fertilizer from Russia which is now sanctioned by the US and the EU.
During the first quarter of this year, Peru imported 18,000 tonnes of urea. During the same period in 2021, the country imported 190,000 tonnes. The massive shortfall has caused prices to skyrocket.
Bolivia’s state-owned urea and ammonia fertilizer plant is in the town of Bulo Bulo, Trópico of Cochabamba. It was opened by the government of Evo Morales, but was then closed along with most state industries following the US-backed coup in November 2019. It was re-opened in September 2021 by Luis Arce’s government."

I thought you were a military man? When it comes to infantry you prefer people from a background of hardship. But seeing that you think calling up reserves is a bad idea, then I should not be surprised by your statements.

Man, they're still using old bazookas. What happened to the Kornet anti-tank missiles that Russia sells to the rest of the world? They should've equipped their reserves, who are sent to the front line in South and Eastern Ukraine, with those weapons.

Maybe the Bazooka is more efficient in Urban combat as it is now.. They are not facing tanks in Mariupol..

RPG-7V2 is not too shabby. Range 300+ meters with telescopic sight. Can shoot lots of different rounds such as anti personnel, thermobaric, anti tank.

Poland signed an agreement to purchase 250 Abrams SEPv3 tanks from the USA on April 5, including 26 M88A2 HERCULES maintenance vehicles and 17 M1074 JOINT ASSAULT BRIDGE, as well as a training package, logistics and ammunition.
“The order is approximately $4.75 billion net worth. As part of the contract, we also purchased ammunition in large quantities, which significantly strengthens our armed forces. This is a very important strengthening of the Polish armed forces,” said Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blasak.
