Ukraine needs 1,000 old/abandoned single propeller hobby planes that don't even have to be safe for human use. They know how to use those planes.

Those guys look exhausted

Send the aid NOW!!!

Do not make a counter offensive again if all cards are not on the table.

As soon as their command is confident aid is coming they will release their reserves. At least that’s the expectation.

Defenders of Europe.GOD bless them All!

They need us to help them increase to a 1 to 3 ratio of all forces against the Russians. That includes people too. They need 3 times as much artillary capability and at least 1 to 3 ratio in all other aspects as well.

Hope Ukraine have they own factory to makes shell

Shells will arrive in less than a week,send the black boxes, digital control for the M777,also,send plenty of the expensive Excalibur shells.

🇺🇦❤🇺🇦❤🇺🇦❤🇬🇧💪👍

Precision

Maybe it's time to start bring up Apaches. UK is changing out old Apaches 🤷

Due to his vote against aid to Ukraine, Matt Rosendale of MT will not be getting my vote next time around. He has shown that he doesn't have a clue as to the strategic importance of not surrendering Ukraine to Ruzzia.

Pzh2000:

Sweden might benefit from arm sales when Gripen fighters prove good in combat. They would get intel how to improve fighters against Russia etc. It is not only a one way deal Aid Program but opportunity.

God Bless the Armed Forces of Ukraine 🇺🇦!

The West needs to stop mucking about and give Ukraine what they need to drive Putin's army back to Russia.

This is a reminder that the average Estonian currently gives 12 times more out of pocket to Ukraine than the United States currently does. I am not Estonian, but I have the utmost respect for them, and I wish my government would follow suit and possibly go beyond. As little as a dollar extra per person would be all that it takes to take first place. We are quite literally each of us giving Ukraine pennies.

Slava Ukraini! 💙💛🇺🇦🇬🇧

*Слава нації.* 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 Смерть усім ворогам! 🇷🇺

Help is coming! God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦

Дай Бог захисникам 🙏 перемоги ✌️ України

Those 155 rounds get used for horrible shit, once the wars over, and it turns out they’ve kept half of them hidden. And the copper bands on them. If you know, you know.

"...it would require a technological advantage of Ukraine and it's partners over the Russian Army." I'm thinking that if the UK comes through with their laser defense for UA, that might be a good and relatively cheap way to deal with incoming missiles and drones. The US is testing similar defensive weapons and should do that as well. This is win-win-win; UA gets a valuable defense against Russia's attacks, and the UK and US military+contractors get real-world testing of the systems.

I remember when people were saying the bigest arm supplier to Ukraine is Russia! What happend?

They also need much more artillery pieces and it's not all up to the US , NATO countries have the standard 155 MM artillery in most countries . It's a game changer . They need at least double what they currently have .

The 777 is a British design howitzer built under licence in America, Its a joke the UK does not have any!

A modified water blaster could clear around mines. Put it on a robot track, and have the water pressure just enough to wash away the soil but not detonate the mine.

Very generous of Ukraine to share the aid package with Russia..

for sure it is not most precise. they have archers which are probably best artyliery in the world.

Archer

LONG live to Ukraine

777 the best artillery? A joke isn't it? In modern warfare the enemy has your position in minutes!! And you are gone.

That looked like a well run gun pit. The gunners must get tired and I would not want to spend too much time so close to all that ammo. I don’t know what the barrel life is of one of those but they seem to be robust enough. Why we have yet to get 155 production up to scale after more than two years is just not good enough.

With a 10 to 1 advantage for seven months, Russia captured as much land as a large Boy Scout camp in the US (approx 200 sq mi).

Lancet be like "mmm... Tasty!"

!Hold Fast!

Wonder if we have have warthogs we could give them

It's too bad JD vance, MTG, and mr. gaetz should see this video...

Don't say Gun barrels are badly wasted, needs new Guns????????

The advantage for Ukraine is not the number but in the quality and accuracy of their American Artillery Ammo. 10 to 1 doesn't mean shit if they 😊 can't hit anything and are not in range.

bumo vidli,ne.jer se laze.A mi smo zapad,jer gledate americki televiziju..

Its so convenient that Russia is red and Ukraine is blue (and yellow). Not sure why the bad guys always choose red.

Nice looking gun they got there..... Russia enjoys the 155 metal spray.

The problem with Ukraine, by the frontline soldiers own admission, has never been a lack of artillery ammunition contrary to what pundits and the ISW have constantly allege. Their real problem is lack of adequately trained soldiers. It is apparent as evidenced by stories of Ukrainian units either surrendering or bailing out of their positions in retreat. Russia has virtually an inexhaustible supply of trained combat personnel and easily outstrips Ukraine’s ability to recruit/conscript soldiers. In the final analysis it doesn’t matter how many shells Ukraine gets if there is no one to shoot them.

🙏 Wars 🙏 should 🙏 be 🙏 forbidden 🙏 !!!!

Where airsupport? where fighting jets?

You might think it’s goofy but the man on the moon is a Newfie

💪 777 💥 💙💛 Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦

1.) Dont fight wars of attrition with Russia 2.) Dont imagine that Russification is not real. It is. And it is arguably worse than Americanization 3.) Eventually the war will stop but not permanently. Wars only have temporary if deliberately prolonged ceasefires. 4.) This aid package wont help much but it will get Ukraine some needed support.

Best artillery is french Caesar

Слава Україні! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦

The EU should get off it's ass and be doing the funding for Ukraine, not America. Learn to do something for yourselves for once instead of begging us to do your work. Fund it yourself.

I feel sorry for the Russian Lackeys!

😂😂far from ita barrel dosent hold like mst

A breakthrough isn't needed. Ukraine now only has to wait out the Russian economy, and that will collapse this year on this pace!

America finally designed an 88

Help is on the way! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦!!!

Add a comment…🇺🇦🇬🇧

Слава Україні 🇺🇦

100 billion will coming from Europe .

Lensky is getting rich

Artillery shell shortage tells how serious Europe really is towards the war. Putin is laughing. Europe needs Trump to tell them to step up to the plate and show some power. Enough fancy meetings and photo ops.

🇺🇦🫡

Disgusting

What irritates me is, the focus is on "other countries to do xyz", I don't know what world this is but in most societies if you want something done right and dependable, you HAVE to do it yourself. Aid is temporary and will run out again, where is this Ukrainian ingenuity? two+ years into full scale; and production is not into overdrive? need more? build more factories and keep building. Production is KEY, expecting handouts will lead to defeat. I don't "expect" AFU to hold back or even defeat ruzzia, hell I expect Baltics and Poland to be invaded and western forces to enter this conflict. Zero expectations on AFU, if they can defeat or what ever the end objective is?, great that's a bonus. But my expectations are none. Sidenote: I don't have access to intelligence but I truly feel as Ukraine leaders have been holding back supplies and depending on western political support is how much they allow to the frontline. I feel the frontline are doing the best they can with what they are given. Leaders are really good at diverting accountability onto others

Heroyam slava!

Of course, it has to be the "best" artillery system if it comes from the USA. They won't do it under that. Certainly not when it comes to shoot and scoot, or range, but still. That's all right with me, as long as they at least deliver again. With the Americans, you never know how long the support will last.

M777 is FAAAR from being best. It's towed, to begin with.

It is clear Zelinski is key to the future success of the Ukraine. Why else would he pick a fight with the worlds largest country, while draining resources from America?

After begging for money, they got the money 😂😂

Moochers.

Then what happens next?! After spending all of the aid and there is no continuity Ukraine will not win the war! North Vietnam and the VC had continuous and uninterrupted supply of weapons and material from the USSR/Warsaw Pact, China from start thru victory! If Ukraine can't have the same they will never defeat a superpower!

The EU weeks ago gave the UA 30 billion euros. So take the idea of “we had no shells” as propaganda

The guy who said that Ukraine is not going to get a breakthrough even if they get a lot of Aid and Military help because it comes down to needing a technological advantage over Russia uninformed or biased towards Russia because that is not a strength of Russia in this world at all they are behind technologically Ukraine is on par with them technologically even if America never stepped in mostly because they have both been using mostly large stockpiles of old Soviet equipment also if anything I say that Russia is slightly behind Ukraine technologically speaking in the fpv kamikaze drone category also Ukraine has been getting a very advanced technology and if America really wanted to which it hasn't gone close the ability that it has to pump Ukraine with highly advanced modern weapons but what it has helped with is still way more advanced than pretty modern compared to anything Russia has the thing that Russia has which is not the technological advantage is it has a government and guy in charge that isn't afraid of getting voted out of office he's not afraid of doing something wrong and then the news in Russia writing about it and people hearing about it from the news and getting mad and interning voting him out because they're not allowed to write about it so he's able to mobilize people forcefully only a country like Russia where there is no fair elections at all the government and power has complete Monopoly dance the corruption with the people in power they will ruthlessly kill off their citizens in Russia in an attempt to not lose the war so it's as bad as a huge part of it it's not half of it and the other part is the large stockpiles of Soviet equipment

Our tax money wasted

What a joke…. Full paid propaganda

No hope for the Ukrainian army to regain the lost territories, indeed it will lose more, no hope that Ukraine will join NATO and the EU. Get over it!

If it's the best artillery weapon why are Ukrainian army loosing the war then😂😂

And HOW exactly will you stop Fab 3000;🥶 There's no Fortress to hold such a Power: You're Doomed.. That is a characteristic of a Super Power like Russia!! Let West aside and go with your Russian brothers.. Otherwise... Oh boy... 🤕🥵😭

George SOROS Radio advertising US weapons😂😂😂

🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💪

Maybe the U.S. will let Ukraine have the computer controlled aiming that is on all U.S. versions of this weapon. They were removed prior to delivery to Ukraine over concern that the technology could be compromised😡

ждите FPV по ващей 777 мэколы!

This war will go on forever
