In latest aid package Britain Promises 125 "anti-aircraft guns" which leads to wondering what AA guns Britain could offer or would purchase for Ukraine. :unsure:

UK isn't using any right now, but one could notice that BAE Systems owns Bofors now, so which could potentially offer one of its anti aircraft guns of 25mm, 40mm or 57mm caliber that are long used in mostly naval but sometimes also ground based air defense (including the very common towed Bofors 40L70mm) that could be adapted to any platform convenient for Ukraine. Or just stick with the towed version - cheap, old but still modernized by manufacturer and still popular with countries that are low on budget and\or support infrastructure, so it fits the bill for Ukraine. By the way Bofors has fancy hi tech ammo for those:

Ukrainian President Zelensky Made a Christmas Wish List of Military Equipment. 150-200 Tanks, 300 AFV's, 100 Artillery Pieces, 50-70 MLRS's, and 10-15 Air Defense Systems in the "Need" Category.



German made Dingo MRAP's make their first appearance in Ukraine, assembled alongside T-80BVM Tanks and BMP-2's with BMD-2 Turrets. A total of fifty will apparently be sent to Ukraine.



The weird NAFO nerds have generated enough donations to send over a hundred trucks and vans to Ukraine, along with other materials like generators and sleeping bags etc.



Israeli born Roman Shimonov, the CEO and Founder of the Canadian company Roshel, talks about their companies support of Ukraine and how he's been placed under sanction by Putin's Russia. Roshel's most famous expert is probably the Roshel Senator Armored Vehicles. Accordiing to Oryx eight Roshel Senators have been sent to Ukraine.



Russian Military Making Public Examples of Mobiks Who Betray the Motherland With Their Refusal to Fight. Refuseniks getting three years in prison!

Twitter Thread Discussing How Many Ballistic and Cruise Missiles Russia may have left. John Ridge guesstimates 500-620+ Cruise Missiles and 780 to 1000+ ballistic missiles as Conservative estimates.

Due to interception and loss rates, Russia often needs to launch dozens of missiles in saturation strikes.



Turkish MLRS Systems Have Shown Up in Ukrainian Service.



Modern Russian Electronic Warfare Vehicle lost in Kherson.



Russian T-72 Tank Can't Outrun ATGM.



US donated Maxxpro MRAP hits an AntiTank Mine. Crew compartment looks resilient as intended.

Just like in previously liberated territories, alleged torture chambers and mass burial sites have been found in Kherson. Hundreds of apparent victims as before as well.



Russia's strikes on Ukrainian Infrastructure Have the Added Benefit of Blacking Out Much of Moldova as well!



Apparent Light Map of Ukraine After the Russian Strikes. (Updated with NASA one)



Details of the new $400 million Aid Package from the US to Ukraine. A couple hundred light tactical vehicles including Humvees and a lot of munitions for various weapons platforms Ukraine has acquired from the West. Most curious is the 150 heavy machine guns with the thermal sights I suppose, specifically noted to be used for counter-drone work.



Oryx details the mighty Duchy of Luxembourg's Support for Ukraine.

Okay, new plan, we continue to give aid to Ukraine but they have to send us their road repair crews to work on the highway system in exchange.

As amusing as that sounds, odds are that's a pretty temporary patch, that will be completely shot after one Winter.

Lets Dig In Everybody!

Def Mon posted a long thread detailing the kilometers and kilometers worth of defensive lines being constructed in the Luhansk Oblast near Svatowe. Trenches, ditches, and rows of dragons teeth, undoubtedly back by tanks and ATGM emplacements etc.



Meanwhile on the Belarussian Border, Good Fences Make Good Neighbors.



Lithuanian 105mm M101 Towed Howitzer In Operation With Ukrainian Forces. Lithuania Apparently dispatched these Howitzers to Ukraine back in September.



Russian Lancet Drones Bonking or Attempting to Bonk Ukrainian Targets.



Mighty Little Luxembourg Purchased six Primoco One 150 UAV's to Send to Ukraine. These are made in the Czech Republic and Primarily Used in "Civilian" Applications.
