I feel like UK should dump Challenger and instead collaborate with Germany on a successor to Leopard combining the knowledge of Challenger and Leopard together, I low-key feel like UK is wasting its time a little with having its own unique tank, we're an island, I don't think we really need tanks that much, Lol. Leopard should be the main tank of Europe, sorry France.

Bring Ukraine into the SPEAR 5 (Italy, France, UK) program and supply the whole of Europe with it alongside a Taurus successor. Replace America's F-Series jets with Eurofighter Typhoon and Saab Gripen. F-35 may be the best jet in the business but it's clear that Russia's shit is miles behind the competition so we don't need the very best of the best, we need reliability.

Massively invest into European drone companies, sad to say but this is the future of wars, it seems like Ukraine will lead Europe there.

We need something to replace things like HIMARS and Patriots.

🇫🇷 In a time of predators, no one can remain on the sidelines, — Macron

At a time when our American ally wants to abandon its commitments or creates new uncertainties, do we want to take responsibility for our security once and for all and build a true European NATO?

Now stop blocking UK from the EU weapons fund because you want your French companies to have priority, Lol.





🇺🇦🇩🇪🇺🇸 Germany confirms talks are underway to provide Ukraine with more than three Patriot systems, with funding help from EU partners. Germany and Norway are expected to cover at least three, with details on delivery and financing still in discussion.

Ukraine’s Defense Procurement Agency has already contracted tens of thousands of Shahed-interceptor drones, with more to come, said agency head Arsen Zhumadilov in an interview with Babel. He noted that procurement depends on both state budget capacity and the manufacturers’ production abilities.

At the end of the video, intercepted radio communications capture the reactions of Russian troops after encountering the robot.

“Speak, speak, I’m f***ing done shouting again, it’s a f***ing robotic thing, moving along the road, shooting with a machine gun,” one Russian soldier says.

Another responds, “Kalina, brother, what’s the situation? It’s like the Germans sent this f***ing robot down the road, and it was shooting.”

In March 2025, Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense codified and approved the domestically produced Liut ground robotic complex for use by the Defense Forces.

The robot is equipped with a 7.62mm machine gun and additional systems enabling target detection and engagement during day and night. The Liut system features a silent electric motor, with battery capacity sufficient for extended operations.

Sounds a lot like a T-1 from Terminator 3. While the movie in itself is nothing to write home about, it did predict the rise of drones quite perfectly.

That tiny little drone is scaring those soldiers shitless right now, because this thing that is barely a foot tall and hard to see has a machine gun.    It's gonna make the soldiers paranoid.  



🇺🇸‼️ Donald Trump said that the US will introduce secondary sanctions against the Russian Federation and its trading partners if there is no deal on Ukraine within approximately 50 days.

Oh My Fucking God.

  • Two Weeks
  • 90 Days
  • 50 Days

This dude is so fucking pathetic, JFC. Almost 6 months and absolutely zero progress made on a deal, openly admits that Russia is stringing him along and keeps refusing all attempts of peace, has gave Russia multiple two week deadlines which they've ignored all of them, now has extended the deadline to 50 fucking days, Lol.

⚡️ We are sending our weapons to Ukraine, we will not pay, but we will make the best weapons. We will turn to Germany for an early shipment of Patriot missiles. NATO will coordinate this, and decide where to send these weapons, — Trump.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Billions of dollars in military equipment will be quickly paid for by NATO and distributed to the battlefield of Ukraine, — Trump.

▪️Trump agrees with Rutte's statement that Russia is senselessly bombing civilians.

▪️Trump: It is all talk and then missiles going to Kyiv and killing people.

This time Trump decided to give Putin not 2 weeks as usual, but 50 days. Threatening about 100% tariffs if there would be no agreement.

So fucking pathetic he still won't directly combat Russia with sanctions, all he is really doing is no longer preventing American companies from profiting of the Ukraine war but whatever, I'll take that because it will help Ukraine a lot, as long as there's no restrictions on what we can buy, Europe now just needs to find the finances and they'd be braindead to not just use the Russian assets for finance it.



Shouldn't it be the other way? You first put sanctions on them to let them realize what it means and only take them back if they do what they are supposed to do?
