Briefly Noted: Anti-Tank Weapons

What does this suggest to you?

MI NEWS @SNMilitary

BREAKING: Pentagon officials state Ukraine is using up a week's worth of anti tank munitions every single day, and that the US has now given Kyiv a third of its entire stockpile.

I suppose this could be accounted for in different ways. However, the wording “using up” suggests to me that the munitions are being deployed to the UK forces and are being used. It must be that they’re not as effective as we were led to believe. I saw one video—and obviously I can’t vouch for it—that purported to show a Russian tank that had taken three hits by NATO anti-tank munitions, but made it back to base under it’s own power. The turret was a complete loss, but the rest of the tank was still functioning. In any event, this news comports with what we’re hearing from other NATO countries—they no longer have any weapons to spare. The Russians are grinding them down.

Picky, picky—he doesn’t want any of that obsolete stuff:

🇺🇦ZELENSKY - “EU GIVES UKRAINE WEAPONS BUT NOT THE ONES WE ASKED FOR”.

Ukraine started this war with an extremely well equipped military, chock a block with first rate NATO or refurbished to NATO specs weaponry. Something has happened in the last weeks, and it’s not positive for UK.

REPORTS OF UKRAINIAN AMMUNITION RUNNING LOW

Did any of those billions in aid money somehow get diverted?

It was clear we'd reached a whole new level of Orwellian doublethink when it turned out liberals will call literally anyone in the world a Nazi except actual, literal Nazis.

With the war in Ukraine now in its 7th week, heavy NATO ISR flight activity has continued. This map shows NATO and Swedish ISR activity in Europe from 1st to 14th April 2022.
