Russia Ukraine

According to TASS, Russia’s news agency, only a handful of Su-57s exist and there is a current contract to acquire as many as 70 in coming years.

DoD has acknowledged providing Ukraine with a number of critical intelligence gathering resources to include hand-launched mini-drones and Navy Unmanned Surface Vessels

There are over 190 ethnic groups in Russia, and only one of them – Russki ethnicity - took dominance and possession over the whole land and enforced their language onto other

The $276 billion will go towards "research, development, testing, and evaluation - and that is across land, air, sea, cyber, and space."

The Russians operate more than 770 fighter jets compared to Ukraine's 69 or so. That's a massive deficit.

One of them is called the AeroEnvironment Switchblade Drone and is often referred to as a kamikaze. It has both an EOIR electro optical camera and it can become an explosive.

Ghost Drones could be launched from hidden locations in buildings and be used to surveil approaching enemy forces blocks or even miles away.

"NATO could decimate Russia in the air or even on land, but putting Putin in a corner is really dangerous"

Should the drone boats have long-range EO/IR sensors, and an ability to network from beyond the radar horizon, they could certainly alert coastal defenses about any potential Russian threats from the sea.

Regardless of the sophistication of the Su-57 to rival the US F-35, there simply are not enough of them to pose a substantial threat to NATO.

Anti-armor weapons such as Javelin missiles continue to prove extremely effective against Russian armored vehicles.

If Patriot Missles are not being sent perhaps US forces could train Ukrainians on the Patriot in a nearby NATO country?

It seems Putin’s continued “nuclear” threat is part of a calculated effort to deter NATO from getting more directly involved in the defense of Ukraine. If this is the aim, it is working.

Ukraine may be receiving standard Excalibur rounds which offer GPS-guided precision targeting to Howitzers from ranges of 30 km or more

More recently there has been a massive influx of heavier systems like US 155mm Howitzer artillery systems and German tank-like anti-aircraft guns called Cheetahs

The on time arrival of the SENTINEL is considered crucial, as Air Force leaders don't want a “gap” between the time Minuteman III becomes obsolete and the SENTINEL arrives.

Russia operates less than 100 Su-57 5th-generation stealth fighter jets, a number which pales in comparison to the US and NATO which flies hundreds of F-35s.

Gepard vehicles, or Cheetahs, consist of an anti-aircraft gun mounted onto a Leopard tank chassis, weapons which could threaten, defend against and even destroy Russian drones, helicopters

Germany is moving 50 Cheetah vehicles, there are British efforts to send anti-aircraft weapons and new Canadian decisions to send armored vehicles.

Russia leadership appears to be repeatedly floating the possibility of nuclear attack as a “threat” or potential “deterrent” against NATO involvement.

“The S-350 ‘Vityaz’ was engineered by the Almaz-Antey defense manufacturer as a battlefield air defense weapon capable of striking targets within a radius of 60 km and at an altitude of 30 km."

The Kalibr's 870-mile attack range places it in the same category as the US Navy Tomahawk.

An inability to fire precision weaponry is likely something which could greatly impede Russia’s ability to advance into and take over Ukrainian territory.
