Supposedly he also recieved a security briefing about what happens long-term if Ukraine falls that convinced him, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was a more literal Come-to-Jesus discussion about who to side with.

He got persuaded to do the right thing through intel briefings and religion while saving his job and career, and understanding both better. He proved he'd move a national abortion legalization to the Senate if he got strongarmed hard enough.

Seems like a win.

quote:

Norway will join the initiative to supply additional air defense systems to Ukraine and allocates billions for it. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre states that there are significant sums to be used from both the Nansen program (Norwegian support packages for Ukraine) and the revised state budget. The exact number is not yet known.

"We have very little time for delays, so Norway will be involved in the financing. There are several other countries that contribute to that, because there are air defense systems that can get into Ukraine quite quickly, and they have been working on that intensively in the last few days and weeks," he emphasized.
Thank you Norway!

Honestly it still feels like we're doing not nearly enough to help Ukraine, or prepare for belligerent Russia. People tend to forget, we share a border with them and it's not super defensible. If Russia finishes up with Ukraine, we are going to look like a tempting target to a certain shitheel in Moscow.

Now with less breakage.

I don't know, I can't imagine "roll over the border in Finnmark and into NATO country with their remaining armored vehicles" looks overly tempting. Especially given how annoying the terrain is up there, it would probably be worse than the first days of the Ukraine invasion.

E: not to mention that there are US bases here, and the moment the a Russian invading army knowingly bombard US forces things would probably get spicy.

Any word on those remaining Gepards being sent to Ukraine? I think Germany and the US had another 75 that were supposed to be delivered.

Apparently Lancet production is high enough that they're the new AFV/Artillery killer.

Looks top heavy. Why not design these like you would a miniature tank, with wheels or no? Can't be that hard to flatten that out some, give some stability for fire and manouver. I freely concede I'm no kind of drone designer, but I thought the IFV/tank was sort of the optimal design for this.

RPGs are recoilless, and the motor and battery and whatnot in the base of the thing is presumably heavy enough to make it fairly stable when firing the gun.

These were bought from Jordan who got them for pennies from the Dutch when war was declared over forever.

When the first footage of a Gepard with the different shaped radar appears we'll know they arrived. Although Jordan now also has to deal with drones flying overhead.

Yeah the only thing that will make it shaky is when it moves or if the controls are heavy. If you have a crosshair on something it will go there and maybe deviate based on the rpg accuracy.

If it was much flatter, it would probably have issues seeing/shooting over tall grass. This is why practical bipods in military use tend to be so much longer than ones developed for range us. You often have to lift the gun and your optics at least 50cm off the hard ground to be able to shoot at anything at all.
