Ukraine can now use American weapons in the Kursk region. But how much leeway can ukraine use to interpret this I wonder? Hopefully they will interpret this quite broadly, and we'll get a lot of use out of the missles.

If Ukraine could use ATACMS Cluster on these fellas right now...

with all the intel Ukraine has they could pretty much destroy most of the reinforcements before they ever arrive. But instead they have to wait and fight against them "face to face" to loose a lot of own lives and equipment. It's such a stupid situation...

Honestly, they should have rejected Modi. That regime has actively funded and promoted terrorism and assassinations in their country and abroad. On top of that, Indian nationalists are every bit as irritatingly anti-intellectual, anti-West, and pro-Moscow as Bolsonaro fanboys, Alt-right Germans, and MAGA.

All the more credit to Zelenskyy that he entertains these twats and actually tries to talk with them because Ukraine needs all the help it can get, it's a huge credit to him that he doesn't punch some of these dudes in their face, Lol. He must be fuming deep down but he consistently tries to reach out to people that suck up to Russia because Ukraine has no other choice.

And it seems obvious that zelensky also knows that he should figure out what modi wants, as modi isn't completely trustworthy. Modi may just be trying to secure a grain for aid deal but I wouldn't put it past him to try to screw Ukraine over somehow

Norway has provided Ukraine with the technology and license to produce 155mm artillery shells in Ukraine. This decision comes from the Norwegian-Finnish company Nammo, which specializes in manufacturing ammunition and related technologies.https://t.co/B0VbZPVBWc
— NOELREPORTS 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@NOELreports) August 23, 2024

Can we give Ukraine the technology and license to produce Storm Shadow for themselves then they can rename it something else, like "Neptune's Shadow" and say it's totally not Storm Shadow and therefore Ukraine can do whatever they fuck they want with it, Lol.

We're upgrading to SPEAR 5 anyway.
