The Ukrainians have submitted similar lists in recent weeks but a recent request provided to US lawmakers appears to reflect a growing need for American-made Stinger anti-aircraft missiles and Javelin anti-tank missiles – with Ukraine saying it urgently needs 500 of each, daily.

  1. It is called overtime. As it goes on overtime will create dissatisfied workers. You can take 25% of weekends in a year, but when it goes longer people value the time off rather than the time and a half. Mistakes will go up, if the workers are upset or not upset.

    Might as well more more people instead of us ng overtime so much. China and others will keep us busy. Best to be prepared.

  2. Well, the inventories of Russia are going to be very low too. This is a war of attrition.

  3. It's a bad look when Russia is now putting out tons of videos of their own troops using captured Javelins and their MOD is now distributing a field guide on how to operate them.

  4. Jac has a point. however, the Chinese have always made Russian knock offs and at time
    improved on them. Will the Chinese make good?

    A person can be so imprecise with words when they don't use numbers like when 12:40 uses the word tons.

    How many. What percentage?

    That material would be captured by both sides is a given. That is the way it has always been.

    But it is night time and it is safe to come out from under the bridge.
