UK sets out further military aid package to Ukraine​

Britain’s defence minister Ben Wallace has outlined further military support for Ukraine, confirming the supply of 14 Challenger 2 tanks and setting out a number of other details.
“Today, I can announce the most significant package of combat power to date to accelerate Ukrainian success. This includes a squadron of Challenger 2 tanks with armoured recovery and repair vehicles,” Wallace said to parliament.
The package also included 8 AS90 guns, hundreds more armoured and protective vehicles including Bulldog personnel carriers.

Wow, so you think the SU-57 will possibly be a game changed in this war?

For me if they do actively introduce it, it speaks volumes as to just how fscked Russia is, if they're prepared to risk their top flight jet, of which they only have 21 (and 10 of which are test bed vehicles)

Never said the SU-57 was a game changer but I did say last year they will soon be officially incorporating it into their plans. Till now they have only used them from long range to launch missiles so it may be that they continue to do that just with greater numbers. Who knows wit the Russian leadership. They do some strange things over there. Apparently they are increasing production of the SU-57 so expect to see more of those flying about.

The interesting bit is the autonomous marker drone. The way things have been going I half expect to see one or two performing like some of the robots in the first original Robocop movie but maybe they got this one right considering how long they been developing it and testing it. Still think a wall of flames would be enough to confuse it though.

These countries sending a lot of weapons and money - why not go the whole hog and send their armies? Easier to let Ukraine bleed.

In terms of responsibility , those countries sending arms and money are just as liable as if they were sending in their troops. They must NOT be surprised when they are attacked.

They are being attacked via sanctions. Sanctions work against a populace, ask Madeline Albright who chuckled over the dead children in Iraq brought about by the sanctions. By the way, bring in the troops to those places and see a pyrrhic victory at the most. At the very least it will start off more wars.

This will just result in even more Mykolas being sent to join Bandera. End result is Novarossiya will still become part of Russia again.

Germany calls for special tribunal to prosecute Russians for Ukraine war​

Germany has called for a special international tribunal to prosecute Russian leaders for the Ukraine war.
The court should be based abroad but derive its jurisdiction from Ukrainian criminal law, and be able to investigate and try the Russian leadership, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said in a keynote speech at The Hague Academy of International Law.
Baerbock said she discussed with her Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba the possibility of setting up such a tribunal along with some partners, public broadcaster ARD reported.
A special institution is “not an ideal solution, not even for me,” said Baerbock. “But the fact that we need this special solution is because our international law currently has a loophole,” she said, stressing the need to convey a “very clear message to the Russian leadership … and everyone else in the world that a war of aggression … will not go unpunished.”

Good luck with that :ROFL:
