Battle for Ukraine: Direct-Fire, NATO Poland’s Krab

Poland’s Krab is a self-propelled artillery gun, normally an indirect-fire weapon, but can be used as a direct-fire weapon (like a main-battle-tank).  The following images and videos were made during Exercise Dynamic Front, March 2023, in NATO-Denmark.

Robot Wars: China’s self-flying Antonov Maize, a modernized Cold War Aircraft

In April 2022, CCTV-10 aired a two part Innovation and Progress report, showing the development of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) cargo plane, Feihong FH-98.  Part 1:

Part 2:

“The exercise met our expected objective. It is very significant for our unmanned logistics chain in future warfare.”-Bi Guangyuan, executive director in charge of recent testing, June 2019

In June 2019, China’s National Defense University of People’s Liberation Army (PLA), and the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, put to the final tests a new robot cargo aircraft.

Photo via CGTN, 23JUN2019.

The aircraft is unmistakable, it is the only type of its kind, a bi-plane cargo/agricultural aircraft, designed and built in the Soviet Union just after The Great Patriotic War (World War Two).  In 1957, during the non-declared Cold War, Communist China got a license to build the Antonov An-2 Maize (NATO reporting name Colt) as the Yunshu (Yunshuji, later becoming Shifei) Y-5, but this modern version of the Maize has no crew.  The new crewless version of the Maize is called Feihong-98 (FH-98).

In Zhangye, northwestern Gansu Province, the robot An-2/FH-98 had to complete three final tests; fast load 5-hundred kilograms of cargo, a short range airdrop mission, and a long range air drop mission. The tests were declared successful, and China’s PLA now has a viable robot cargo aircraft.

WW3, Vehicle I-D: Serbia’s up-armored BRDM-2MS

Serbia’s new armored reconnaissance vehicle BRDM-2MS is used for surveillance and intelligence gathering, as well as patrols and ambushes.

The BRDM-2MS has the latest gun-sight systems, allowing it to fight at night and in bad weather.  It has a 14.5mm KPVT heavy machine gun with a coaxial 7.62mm PKT light machine gun.  They are stabilized and can hit targets while on-the-move.

Photo via Ministry of Defense Republic of Serbia, January 2023.

The BRDM-2MS is up-armored with side plates 6mm thick and rated to stops bullets up to 12.7mm (.50 caliber).  The frontal plates are rated to stop 14.5mm bullets.  Anti-mine armor has been added to the floor of the vehicle.

The original BRDM used a gasoline fueled motor, the BRDM-2MS uses diesel, which doubles the range of the vehicle.

In 2019, the first of 30 BRDM-2MS began arriving from Russia, as a donation.

By early 2021, the final of the 30 donated BRDM-2MS arrived in Serbia.

World War 3, Vehicle I-D: SERBIA’S NEW T-72MS

SERBIA’S NEW LAZAR-3

SERBIA STILL USES COLD WAR ERA NATO M47?

World War 3: Non-NATO countries attend NATO anti-Russia Meeting! NATO to spread war to Caucasus?

If the United States is the leader of NATO, then why does NATO use British/King’s English grammar/spelling, and not U.S. English?  Even the British Council specializes in teaching the difference between Yankee English and King’s English.

On 14FEB2023, NATO began a huge anti-Russia meeting, called the Meeting of the Defence (King’s English spelling used by NATO) Ministers.  The meeting took place at NATO’s massive headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.

The first day of the meeting was actually about the U.S. led 9th Ukraine Defense Contact Group (notice the U.S. spelling of defense). U.S. Department of Defense photo by Chad J. McNeeley, 14FEB2023.

The European Union (EU) is not officially a country, it is considered a supranational political and economic union.  Many of its member countries are also members of NATO, but not all the EU countries are NATO members.  14FEB2023 statements of EU Foreign Affairs and Security Policy representative Josep Borrell; the NATO meeting is about Ukraine and Russia, and reveals EU & NATO are willing to spread the war to non-NATO countries Georgia and Moldova:

Ukraine is not a full member of NATO, yet Ukraine’s Defense (U.S. spelling not used by NATO) Minister Oleksii Reznikov is taking part. Towards the end of the video he hints at getting fighter jets from NATO taxpayers, by showing the reporters a handkerchief with the image of a Russian Sukhoi 27 on it:

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin the Third greets Minister of Defence of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov, at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, 14FEB2023. U.S. DoD photo by Chad J. McNeeley.

Sweden is not a full member of NATO, here the Defence Minister of Sweden Pål Jonson answers a question about becoming a member of NATO, on the second day of the meeting, 15FEB2023:

Finland is not a full member of NATO, here is a statement by the Defense Minister of Finland Mikko Savola, second day of meeting, 15FEB2023. Notice that he mentions ‘conscription’, many NATO members force their citizens into the military. In the U.S. this is known as ‘The Draft’, or ‘Being Drafted’, and such practice was ended in 1973, however, adult males are still required to register with what is called the Selective Service:

Opening statement by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, on second day-15FEB2023, reveals NATO is at war with Russia, NATO is planning for the war to last “for the next few years”, will increase spending on NATO’s military industrial complex, will increase the acquisition of “resources”:

Biden’s War: Ohio Deploys, again! Is it any wonder recruitment is down?

On 10FEB2023, about 50 state militia personnel with the Ohio Army National Guard’s 174th Air Defense Artillery Brigade are deploying to NATO-Europe, it is the unit’s third such ‘rotation’ (what I call revolving-door deployments).

In October 2022, it was revealed that the Ohio Air & Army National Guards are having a hard time meeting recruitment goals:

In September 2022, it was revealed that 1-thousand-8-hundred Ohio militia personnel were being prepped for deployment to Operation Inherent Resolve, in South West Asia (The Middle East)!

4-hundred of those 1800 already deployed:

On 26JAN2023, it was revealed that the ‘revolving door’ deployment ‘loops’ of the Idaho based Snake River Brigade are all about invading Syria.

It should be noted that whenever U.S. forces enter Syria they remove all identifying unit patches from their uniforms.  But what is the point of that if the U.S. Army, itself, is going to publicize the operation?

U.S. Army photo by Sergeant Julio Hernandez, 26JAN2023.

The U.S. Army claims U.S./NATO forces are inside Syria only to train SDF in how to defeat the so-called Islamic State (even though the Syrian government has been kicking ass against the extremists, with the help of Russia).

Never mind that the part of Syria the SDF operates in, and the U.S./NATO forces are based in,  just happens to be in the middle of Syria’s eastern oil/gas field operations.

U.S. Army photo by Sergeant Julio Hernandez, 26JAN2023.

The U.S. Army also admitted that in 2022, at least 108 U.S. led operations were conducted  inside Syria.  It is called  Operation Inherent Resolve.

Operation Inherent Resolve also involves other NATO members, such as Norway’s Telemark Mechanized Infantry Battalion, operating under Task Force Viking.

On 25JAN2023, Commander in Chief Joseph Robinette Biden Junior announced that 31 M1 Abrams battle-tanks (he did not specify which version of the tank) will be given away to Ukraine.  This is because the leadership of the United States now believes that Russia’s actions in Ukraine are aimed to “break-up” NATO.  Whitehouse.gov video, 25JAN2023:

Whitehouse.gov transcript of statement:

THE PRESIDENT: Good almost morning. It’s exactly noon. Thank you for being here.

Yesterday marked 11 months since Russia’s brutal, full-scale invasion of Ukraine; 11 months in which the Ukrainian people have showed Putin and the world the full force of their courage and the indomitable determination to live free.

And through every single step of this horrific war, the American people have been strong and unwavering in their support.

And Democrats and Republicans in Congress have stood together. The United States has worked in lockstep with our Allies and partners around the world to make sure the Ukrainian people are in the strongest possible position to defend their nation, their families, and against the brutal — the truly brutal aggression of Russia. We haven’t seen the likes of this in a long time.

The United States and Europe are fully united.

This morning, I had a long conversation with our NATO Allies — German Chancellor Scholz, French President Macron, Prime Minister Sunak, and the Italian Prime Minister, Meloni — to continue our close coordination in our full support of Ukraine. Because you all know — I’ve been saying this a long time — the expectation on the part of Russia is we’re going to break up, we’re not going to stay united. But we are fully, thoroughly, totally united.

With spring approaching, the Ukrainian forces are working to defend the territory they hold and preparing for additional counter-offensives. To liberate their land, they need to be able to counter Russia’s evolving tactics and strategy on the battlefield in the very near term.

They need to improve their ability to maneuver in open terrain.

And they need an enduring capability to deter and defend against Russian aggression over the long term.

The Secretary of State and the Secretary of the — of the military are behind me. Are — they — they’ve been deeply, deeply involved in this — this whole effort.

Armored capability, as General Austin will tell you, spe- — is — has been — has been critical. And that’s why the United States has committed hundreds of armored fighting vehicles to date, including more than 500 as part of the assistance package we announced last Friday.

And today — today, I’m announcing that the United States will be sending 31 Abram tanks to Ukraine, the equivalent of one Ukrainian battalion.

Secretary Austin has recommended this step because it will enhance the Ukraine’s capacity to defend its territory and achieve its strategic objectives.

The Abrams tanks are the most capable tanks in the world. They’re also extremely complex to operate and maintain, so we’re also giving Ukraine the parts and equipment necessary to effectively sustain these tanks on the battlefield.

And we begi- — we’ll begin to train the Ukrainian troops on these issues of sustainment, logistics, and maintenance as soon as possible.

Delivering these tanks to the field is going to take time, time that we’ll see — we’ll use to make sure the Ukrainians are fully prepared to integrate the Abram tanks into their defenses.

We also closely coordinated this announcement with our Allies.

The American contribution will be joined by an additional announcement, including that will be — will be readily available and more easily integrated for use on the battlefield in the coming weeks and months from other countries.

I’m grateful to Chancellor Scholz for providing German Leopard 2 tanks and will lead an effort to organize the European contribution of two tank battalions for Ukraine.

I want to thank the Chancellor for his leadership and his steadfast commitment to our collective efforts to support Ukraine.

Germany has really stepped up, and the Chancellor has been a strong, strong voice for unity — a close friend — and for the level of effort we’re going to continue.

Supporting Ukraine’s ability to fight off Russian aggression to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity is a worldwide commitment. Not just lo- — it’s worldwide commitment.

Last week, Germany — in Germany, Secretary Austin convened the Ukraine Defense Contact Group for the eighth time. This group is made up of some 50 nations — 50 nations — each making significant contributions of their own to Ukraine’s integrity, each fully committed to making Ukraine remain strong and independent and able to defend itself against Russian threats and violence.

I want to thank every member of that coalition for continuing to step up.

The UK — the United Kingdom — recently announced that it is donating Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine. France is contributing AMX-10s, armored fighting vehicles.

In addition to the Leopard tanks that Germany, like the United States, is also — Germany is also sending a pat- — a Patriot missile battery. The Netherlands is donating a Patriot missile and launchers.

France, Canada, the UK, Slovakia, Norway, and others have all donated critical air defense systems to help secure Ukrainian skies and save the lives of innocent civilians who are literally the target — the target of Russia’s aggression.

Poland is sending armored vehicles. Sweden is donating infantry fighting vehicles. Italy is giving artillery. Denmark and Estonia are sending howitzers. Latvia is providing more Stinger missiles. Lithuania is providing anti-aircraft guns. And Finland recently announced its largest package of security assistance to date.

You may remember, when I was asked a while ago, what I think was going to happen. And I said — I let Putin know. He thought that he was going to have — end up with the Findalization [Finlandization] of Europe. Well, he’s got the NATOization of Finland. He’s gotten something that he never intended.

Together with our Allies and partners, we’ve sent more than 3,000 armored vehicles, more than 8,000 [800] artillery systems, more than 2 million rounds of artillery ammunition, and more than 50 advanced multi-launch rocket systems, anti-ship and air defense systems, all to help counter Ukraine’s [Ukraine counter] brutal aggression that is happening because of Russia.

And, look, today’s announcement builds on the hard work and commitment from countries around the world, led by the United States of America, to help Ukraine defend its sovereignty and its territorial integrity.

That’s what this is about: helping Ukraine defend and protect Ukrainian land. It is not an offensive threat to Russia. We are — there is no offensive threat to Russia.

If Russian troops returned to Russia, they’ll be there for — where they belong, and this war would be over today.

That’s what we all want: an end to this war in just and lasting terms.

You know, our teams do not permit one nation — we’re not going to allow one nation to steal a neighbor’s territory by force.

Our terms that preserve Russia’s sovereign — Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and honor the U.N. Charter, that’s our — they’re the terms we’re working on.

And, you know, these are — these the terms we all signed up for and 143 nations voted for in the United Nations General Assembly last October.

So, the United States, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with
our Allies and partners, is going to continue to do all we can to support Ukraine.

Putin expected Europe and the United States to weaken our resolve. He expected our support for Ukraine to crumble with time. He was wrong. He was wrong. And he was wrong from the beginning, and he continues to be wrong.

We are united. America is united and so is the world.

And we approach the one-year mark — as we do — of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, we remain as united and determined as ever in our conviction and our cause.

These tanks are further evidence of our enduring and unflagging commitment to Ukraine and our confidence in the skill of the Ukrainian forces.

As I told President Zelenskyy when he was here — and today is his birthday, by the way — in December: We’re with you for as long as it takes, Mr. President.

Ukrainians are fighting an age-old battle against aggression and domination. It’s a battle Americans have fought proudly time and again, and it’s a battle we’re going to make sure the Ukrainians are well equipped to fight as well.

This is about freedom. Freedom for Ukraine, freedom everywhere. It’s about the kind of world we want to live in and the world we want to leave our children.

So, may God protect the brave Ukrainian defenders of their country who keep the flame of liberty burning brightly as we can.

Thank you.

Q Mr. President, why are you taking this decision now? Did Germany force you to change your mind on sending tanks?

THE PRESIDENT: (Laughs.) Germany didn’t force me to change my mind. We wanted to make sure we were all together. And that’s what we were going to do all along, and that’s what we’re doing right now.

Thank you.
