Some underling told Luka the numbers were 40 and 100 and he just assumed the thousand part. Wasn't Luka offering to store planes and parts last time? Might as well ask about some nukes as well, couldn't hurt. Come on down Putin to Luka's Stor-A-Lot! Need somewhere to store all those T-14 Armata? Not so Hypersonic missiles? Spare nukes? Fish blocks? Russian dictators get a member discount on any locker hardened against radiation. Free bag of peeled potatoes while supplies last but don't worry there's a lot for some reason. Couldn't give the peeler away, wore right down to the Rogozin. Putin is a real piece of poo poo.

Hmm, I think the real takeaway there is that the answer to the question 'Does Hungary take the Russia threat seriously?' is 'Hungary is trying to buy 24 HIMARS '.

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/putins-anti-western-oil-alliance-is-coming-unstuck/ Interesting article about how Russia flooding the market with their G7 capped oil is pissing off OPEC. quote:Russia’s goal, it seems, is to get OPEC members to push oil prices as high as possible so it can undercut them all below the capped level at which it is officially allowed to sell oil due to G7 restrictions. That strategy appears to be working for now: India and China are gorging on Russian crude at record rates, ignoring Western sanctions, and OPEC’s core members have been losing market share.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Thats some serious OPSEC breakdown by Russia. Their OPSEC has been laughable since the beginning. Pretty much everyone knows where they are. Russian soldiers often aren't issued secure communication, resorting to civilian cellular tech. They have posted photos and videos to social media with full Metadata attached. It's a joke. Russia is fielding a Vietnam era military while the West has built the Ukrainian army into a cutting edge machine. Everything from professional discipline to Intel to OPSEC to equipment is miles ahead of Russia. Russia has men and things that go BOOM. That's it.

It's like Steak-umms, but with more remote "smoking incident" capability! There's been bipartisan noises coming from congress about giving AFU these weapons, so Biden's probably feeling more comfortable discussing it and entertaining the idea. Which won't be total game-changers per se, but they'll definitely shake things up a bunch.

I thought that there weren't enough ATACMS to make a difference in Ukraine, because US wants to hang on to a certain amount in their inventory, and no-one is making new ones at the moment? Like, at best "few hundred of them" that can be turned over to Ukraine, globally, distributed between several operators not all of them openly supporting Ukraine.

We certainly have enough to "make a difference" but we can't make more. However, these missiles are Old Tech from 20-30 years ago (that's 1990s-2000s era) and their replacement PrSM (Precision Strike Missile) is still coming on-line. If the pentagon feels that the PrSM rollout is far enough along that we can spare the older stuff...well, then the conversation gets interesting. Alternatively, we can probably spare a few dozen of them to give Ukraine limited long-range capability so they can attack distant targets. That may or may not be bridge-shaped.

The first missiles are supposed to enter service this year, with an improved seeker package being added in '25.

It could also be that the US revised its thoughts on the likelihood of China attacking Taiwan based on China looking at Russia feeding its military into a Ukrainian shaped woodchipper and deciding that Taiwan could wait a while
