Russia modifying 800 T-62 tanks, some probably more than 50 years old, for its war in Ukraine. This probably means it has run out of all of its modern (relatively) T-64, T-72 and T-80 tanks, and can’t manufacture new ones quickly. https://t.co/lHakF6S2kX

According to Russian-appointed head of Crimea, waiting at the ferry crossing in Crimea takes about 3-4 days. And there are about 900 trucks in line at the moment.#Ukraine #Crimea pic.twitter.com/IX1EeiIF8p

US @SecDef Lloyd Austin: New air-defense systems will be provided to #Ukraine as fast as we can physically get them there. We're also going to try to provide additional munitions to the existing systems that the Ukrainian forces are using.

Russia expressed "strong protest" to the Japanese Embassy in connection with the employment of HIMARS systems in joint Japan-US military exercises.

Japan had been warned of "imminent retaliatory measures," aimed at denying military threats for Russia, Russian MFA said.

This is what unity looks like.

Today, I gathered defense ministers of nearly 50 countries to discuss the latest battlefield developments in Ukraine ??, and to work together on how we can continue to support Ukraine today and over the long haul. A few examples of our progress: pic.twitter.com/BjdX2XT4na

!!
(Reuters) - A Russian nuclear strike would change the course of the conflict and almost certainly trigger a "physical response" from Ukraine allies and potentially from NATO, a senior NATO official said on Wednesday.

If my calculation is correct it means there's a budget of a little less than $60 by uniform. I also assume it include the shipping cost.

I'm curious on what is being sent exactly cause this looks like some serious economy of scale or I'm missing something. I mean for a good coat, one which you could use all day at -30C or below and is made to last can cost $400+ at retail and those are the affordable versions, the best ones are $1000+.

Dunno, a lot of countries are sending them winter clothing so maybe it's just minor stuff, filling the gaps.

Yeah probably. Since you gave me the opportunity I'll add what I forgot in my previous post...

$47 million, I mean common Canada you cheap b******, You unlocked $300B in a single budget to fight Covid you can certainly do better than this.

$47Million on a $1.832T GDP makes anyone earning less than 100K a year and giving $2.56 more generous than you.
