  1. Na Tajwanie powstanie automatyczna fabryka pocisków 155 mm

    Wojna na Ukrainie uświadomiła tajwańskim decydentom, że w razie konfliktu, będą potrzebne znaczące zapasy pocisków, w tym podstawowego kalibru 155 mm.

  2. Why has the price of #155mm shells gone up from $2,100 to $8,400 per shell?

  3. Robert Schoof: » "Feitelijk is dit een #artillerieoorlog”, zegt brigadegeneraal Bouwmeester. Met één opmerkelijk stijlverschil: #Rusland blijft zijn soldaten in golven het Oekraïense vuur in sturen, in de hoop dat aantallen ten slotte de doorslag geven. Zo bezien is de #155mm-#granaat ook het symbool van de ‘#vleesmolen’ waarmee deze oorlog is vergeleken en die in dat opzicht niet verschilt van de slagvelden van Ieper en Verdun.«

  4. A few thoughts on #Ukraine the #War going forward. Im really interested what others think about it!

    1st. Ukraine will now play #defense. As @anderspuck has pointed out in his latest, good as always video, Ukraine communicates that there won't be an offensive any time soon. That could be deception but I doubt it. Why?

    A) The #Russian continuous assaults skews #attrition heavily in Ukraines favour. A ratio of up to 20/1 for #Avdiivka was mentioned iirc, however even if only half is correct its still massive. However expect minor loss of territory.
    B) Ukraine will wait for key tech (#F16) & improved supply (#155mm shells) and further systems (#Tank, #IFV, #Mine clearing, #ATACAMS) before trying again.
    C) The current russian #Air #terror against cities and infrastructure seems to be ineffective, with Ukraine shooting down almost all of #Shaheed send. However, it could be, that #Russia saves better #Missiles for a concentrated strike later on.

    What do you think?

  5. @hanse_mina this is the article: politico.eu/article/eu-plan-uk Obviously the delay in getting the contract finalized relates to who should be allowed to supply #155mm #artillery #ammunition to #supportUkraine - only companies within the #EU or not (since paid by the EU tax payers). One can assume that manufacturers in #UK and in the #USA are #lobbying to get in on the action.
