Russia appears to be low on drones too, this one was borrowed from a Russian government department.

The Ukrainians are getting more long range artillery from more than Uncle Sam, it all uses standard 155mm NATO ammo and it is adding up. Once a unit is trained on these various systems they are in for the duration anyway and the supplier will also supply the spares and perhaps even maintenance or repair back home. The UK and most likely others are supplying additional MLRSs too and they might add up as well. They are gradually assembling the big iron they need to pound the shit out of the Russians while dispersed and at a safe distance.

Joe is transferring 4 HMLRS to Ukraine, however he is selling 500 such systems to Poland... With the Russian army revealed as weak and being destroyed next door in Ukraine, one wonders why the Poles need so many rocket systems and when they will be delivered.
Other NATO members like the UK are sending them as well and Finland has 100 of them and 700 pieces of artillery. Some of which could be sent, since Ukraine is destroying the army that would attack them, ditto for all the Europeans, First clean out the old soviet shit from eastern Europe and let him eat his own weapons and then bring in the big iron to finish the fucker off, now that he's all in and fully committed. When you can outrange the Russians by 5 miles and can disperse your guns that are networked to a sophisticated target acquisition and fire control system that uses counter battery radars and drones, you don't need nearly as much shit as the Russians, but you need to have enough. They designed and implemented their information system for artillery and it is a force multiplier.

Turkey gets 90% of their grain from Ukraine and much of it goes to the Islamic world, mostly Muslims would be starving, but poor people in general would be too as food prices soar. The food crises will crack open the Black sea for Ukrainian grain and grain ships might be NATO country flagged, so sinking one will mean immediate retaliation and sunk Russian naval assets, or shot down planes. Attempting to sink a grain ship with a food crises on going would be an act of genocide and mass murder and would be treated as such.

Biden administration planning to sell armed drones to Ukraine
The Biden administration is reportedly planning to sell armed drones that can carry Hellfire missiles to Ukraine, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
The U.S. is looking to sell four MQ-1C Gray Eagle drones made by General Atomics, sources told the outlet. The drones can be armed with Hellfire missiles.
The administration plans to notify Congress of the sale in the coming days and make a public announcement afterward.
A State Department spokesperson didn’t directly dispute the report but told The Hill “as a matter of policy, we do not confirm or publicly comment on proposed defense transfers until they have been formally notified to Congress.”
The spokesperson added that “as the conflict is changing and Ukraine’s defense needs change so too has our support for Ukraine’s defense.”
“We continue to closely consult with our Ukrainian partners to ensure U.S. military assistance is adapting as needed to deliver the critical capabilities for today’s fight, such as this week’s announcement of plans transfer to Multiple Launch Rocket Systems,” they added.

Hellfire
Also entering the scene in the late 1990s was the AGM-114L, which featured greater autonomy and precision strike capabilities.11 Designated “Longbow,” the missile employs a millimeter-wave seeker instead of a semi-active laser, providing fire-and-forget capability and the ability to operate in poor weather conditions. It can engage moving and stationary targets.12 Flight testing began in 1994, and the missile first entered service in 1998.13
The AGM-114R “Romeo” was developed in the late 2000s to incorporate the various mission sets of prior Hellfire models. Its multimission “Integrated Blast Frag Sleeve” warhead is suitable against soft targets like small vessels or unarmored vehicles, or hard targets such as armed vehicles, bunkers and bridges, radar, and communications installations. Although the first Romeo models feature semi-active radar guidance, a subsequent development program aims to equip these missiles with millimeter-wave radar, as used in the “Longbow.”14 There are at least nine “Romeo” derivatives, each designed to incorporate new capabilities or facilitate foreign sales.15

I could not help highlighting bridges. 360 kg each, the drone can carry 360 kg. Darn. They are times when you would need to take out a vehicle bridge and a rail bridge at the same time. Hate to go back twice. May also need to jam radar. Might need to outfit three depending on the mission.

Zelensky: Russian forces control one-fifth of Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday that Russian forces now occupy about 20 percent of Ukrainian territory, almost 100 days into the war.
Zelensky told Luxembourg’s legislature that Russian troops have invaded more than 3,600 “settlements” but that Ukrainian forces have taken back more than 1,000 of them. He said Luxembourg’s motto, “We want to stay what we are,” is what Ukraine is fighting for.
After withdrawing from areas around the capital of Kyiv, Russian forces have focused attacks on Ukraine’s south and east, scoring a key military victory last month with the seizure of the port city of Mariupol.
Zelensky noted that despite Friday marking 100 days of the current invasion, Ukrainians have been fighting Russia for years since its forces entered the Donbas region in 2014.
He said almost 12 million Ukrainians have become internally displaced and more than 5 million have fled the country since Russia invaded in February, adding that fighting was raging along a more than 1,000-kilometer line from Kharkiv in the east to Mykolaiv in the south.
Zelensky visited the front lines of the war in Kharkiv on Sunday, his first public appearance outside Kyiv during the war, as Ukrainian forces began a counteroffensive to repel the Russian attack. The president’s office reported that Russian forces occupied as much as 31 percent of the region, but said Ukraine has taken 5 percent back.

which is a mistake...russia is not the sole provider of any resource, there are always other places to get what you need...if it costs a little more for a while, that's the price of making the world safe from megalomaniacal dictators with out of date nuclear arsenals...if there are countries that CANNOT operate without materials from russia, then they just cannot operate...maybe they'll pick safer, more stable trading partners in the future, instead of selling their own security for a few rubles in savings

the day Ukraine gets those should be the day they use them to take out the kersch bridge. that would be a HUGE psychological victory...russia cut off with no where to go, no way to resupply their troops in crimea that didn't invite attack from the Ukrainians, the effect on morale both in the russian army and the Ukrainian army, as well as the morale of russian and Ukrainian civilians....Biden administration planning to sell armed drones to Ukraine

Stipulating that, how do we get Russia out of the way of this?
