    That's also very simple. Let's say a reasonable person was in charge of the Luftwaffe and no one interefered with his decisions.

    Following several weeks of raids that focused on British ports and shipping, the Germans moved inland, turning their attention to airfields and other RAF targets. That strategy was working very well. Despite the Luftwaffe receiving heavier losses, British production of Hurricanes and Spitfires could not keep up with losses, and there weren’t enough experienced pilots to replace those who had been killed.

    What change the course of the battle was a complete fluke. In August, two German pilots had dropped their bombs on London, having flown off-course at night. In retaliation, the RAF bombed the Berlin suburbs, enraging Hitler. Hitler ordered a change in strategy, concentrating their raids on London and other cities. A fatal mistake. The irony is that Hitler saved Britain by interefering into military matters.

    The struggle continues.
    U.S. to send Ukraine air defense systems, Biden adviser says
    The United States will provide Ukraine with advanced medium- and long-range air defense capabilities to help Kyiv resist Russian invasion forces, President Biden’s national security adviser said Monday.

    According to a pool report, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said U.S. officials are “in the process of finalizing a package” that will include vital items such as “ammunition for artillery and counter-battery radar systems.”

    More details:
    US to Announce Missile Defense System Purchase for Ukraine. The US is expected to announce the purchase of an advanced, medium-to-long range surface-to-air missile defense system for Ukraine this week. Kyiv has asked for the system, known as a NASAMS system, given its range of over 100 miles. Other military assistance is also expected to be announced this week, including artillery ammunition and counter-battery radars. CNN Reuters

    Another result of the Pootster's aggression.
    NATO Increasing High-Readiness Forces to 300,000. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters Monday that the military alliance will increase the number of its forces at high readiness to 300,000. That’s a massive jump from NATO’s current 40,000-strong quick reaction force. Stoltenberg said NATO will designate Russia as a threat rather than a strategic partner at an upcoming summit in Madrid.

    Russia becomes a deadbeat.
    Russia Defaults on Foreign Debt. Russia reportedly defaulted on its foreign-currency sovereign debt for the first time since 1918, on Sunday. Moscow was due to pay $100 million in payments on two Eurobonds on May 27, but some Taiwanese bondholders say they have yet to receive interest on the payments after the grace period expired Sunday. The Kremlin says it made the payment to European bank Euroclear, but the payment is reportedly stuck there due to sanctions over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

    More HIMARS footage:


    With this, the Panzerhaubitze 2000, and good anti-air systems on the way, I'm finally starting to feel good about Ukraine's ability to send the orcs all the way home to Russia and to liberate even Crimea. They just need all of this and perhaps a bit more (wouldn't hurt to sell or lend-lease them a good number of F-16s and perhaps other aircraft as well) in great enough quantity.

    Good luck with that. The Russian military will happily take more weapons from the westtards, just as they have been doing with slews of javelins and large guns like the French self-propelled howitzers that are now in Russia.

    https://www.rt.com/russia/557694-french-guns-allegedly-captured/

    Another week passes and another "game changer" is supplied to the Ukrop Nazis. It never gets old. :sleepy:

    I hear the going rate for a javelin is a crate of MREs.

    And your only sources for this are a Russian propaganda site and some fly-by-night Indian site, eh? Typical.

    By the way, Billy boy, this picture from your Indian fake news site --

    -- has a file name of "Army-of-Ukraine-uses-local-made-2S22-Bohdana-155mm-6x6-howitzers-to-shell-Russian-troops-925-001.jpg" and is from here: https://www.armyrecognition.com/ukr...mm_6x6_howitzers_to_shell_russian_troops.html

    Here is an article about this particular kind of howitzer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2S22_Bohdana

    Captured Russian artillery displayed in Poland
    Mon, June 27, 2022 at 10:06 AM

    STORY: According to information compiled by the Ukrainian defense ministry and displayed alongside the captured artillery, the T-72B tank was destroyed in a tank battle in the Bucha district near Kyiv, while the 2S19 MSTA-S howitzer was captured in the north-eastern Sumy region.

    Among the onlookers were Taras and Victoria, a husband and wife from the western city of Lviv who left Ukraine several years ago.

    "We wanted to see how it actually looks and how the Russian military looks like especially in this state," Taras said.

    I'd give the Ukrainians Patriot missiles and F-16 fighters. Oh, and the long-range munitions to go with those MLRS and HIMARS launchers.

    The A-10 was specifically designed for the ground attack mission.
