It doesn't works like that, BTW, with a $25 trillions GDP, they have some margin before getting bankruptYou are clueless. the US never runs out of money if they need money they just print the money. Same for most countries in the world. UK, Japan, Vietnam China, India, Pakistan, you name it. Even Russia. If Putin wants to pay his fighting soldiers in Ukraine he prints rubles.
You obviously have no issues what freaking weapons stockpile is NATO, especially the Yanks... The cumulated military budget is about 2 thirds+ of Russia's GDP !!!!As of now, Ukraine really needs not the talk about hundreds of units of Western weapons, but thousands to break the wave.
Even with lend lease signed, there are physical limits to how many weapons US can bring to Europe. And it will still be an absolutely massive logistic operation, with rail from Poland having to work non-stop.
The easiest way would be to just give US army equipment in Europe to Ukraine, and replace it later from CONUS.
Aviation is desperately needed, but well, pilots will have to be trained in an extreme hurry.
Bayraktars ran out of ammo, and Turkey has since stopped sending new missiles after shipping 2 reloads. They seem to have ran out of stock themselves, and now there is talk of getting Azerbaijan sending part of its ammo stocks. Bayraktar was the thing which held Russian artillery at bay in first weeks of the war, but can't now because no ammo.
Antiradiation weapons are a need of the day to let Ukrainian manned aircraft fly above MANPADs ceiling
TBMs, and MRBMs are required to go after big fat targets like HQs, and bridges
Actually, the situation in the East is going Ukrainian way.
Right now the only offensive Russian are doing is toward Severodonetsk, which means the 2 axis(es) we have been talking about since like 2 weeks ago. Izyum axis and Donetsk axis. The problem is, they are having supply issue with Izyum and Donetsk front would take weeks if not months of reconstruction before they can be move on as a combat force, that is if they have enough men to do so after 80 days in Mariupol. At this current rate, the Russian offensive is stalled on this and the realistic goal (for now) for the Russian is to simply take Severodonetsk, but then they are running into the same problem they have been facing in Kyiv, stiff resistance and supply problem, also, for the Russian to be able to encircle Severodonetsk, you would need to cross the Don river. Which is harder to do than when they are in Kyiv.
My appraisal of the situation is, either the Russia will fail in severodonetsk or they will take severodonetsk but will blunt their Eastern Advance, there are no way Russia can change the matrix unless they are able to raise more troop, and that is the problem here, conventional estimation suggested they have used up 50-70% reserve in this, they still need them to defend Russia, which mean they are going to have manpower issue in the coming months.
Another thing we can see from the recent Russian Assault is that they are small unit action, company size force break out of Popasna trying to link up with the force in Severodonetsk. That tell me two things.
1.) Russia is not willing or not able to risk majority manpower to do this.
2.) Russia is having unit cohesion issue
Most of the last 2 weeks were Ukrainian trading space with time, that probably lead to Russian using smaller scale attack so not to lost a bulk of their combat power on this delay action. Which I can say Ukrainian is doing it job at least for now.
But if you are talking about a general Ukrainian counter offensive, then yes, they will need thousand of heavies and an airforce.
Time for fastbreeders like Superphénix and make nuclear fuel a renewable energyWhy is the Russian uranium card more dangerous than cutting gas for Europe?

Yes, I am talking about the war as a whole.
Twist it, or turn it, they have 7 field armies on their soil, whom they now attrite at a rate of 0.5-1 battalion per week. Russians replenish at around at around the same rate for cannon fodder, and still have massive artillery advantage.
Russians cannot replenish things like pilots for tanks, and aviation, but for everything else, it's fine for them.
Even if they will be reduced to infantry, armoured cars, towed, and mortars, they can last for a really long time if they decide to dig in now. And "dig in now" is exactly what they are doing now.
The need for disruptive sideway pushes, and attack on enemy rear to prevent that is very obvious.
It would be great to get the source for this.Below are the 15 countries that exported the highest dollar value worth of natural uranium during 2020.
- Kazakhstan: US$1.7 billion (56% of natural uranium exports)
- Canada: $1.0 billion (33.6%)
- United States: $214.3 million (7%)
- Ukraine: $80.3 million (2.6%)
- Netherlands: $13.5 million (0.4%)
- South Africa: $8.5 million (0.3%)
- Germany: $1.5 million (0.05%)
- France: $777,000 (0.03%)
- Sweden: $644,000 (0.02%)
- Egypt: $265,000 (0.01%)
- Switzerland: $121,000 (0.004%)
- Russia: $77,000 (0.003%)
- Malaysia: $23,000 (0.001%)
- United Kingdom: $17,000 (0.001%)
- India: $10,000 (0.0003%)
And how many Russia is training.. 1 000 000!?Ukraine is currently training 100K new recruits. Expect a large counteroffensive by autumn.
That is natural Uranium.. it is possible.. but the the articles are talking about Russian Enriched Uranium..It would be great to get the source for this.
