RT @FRHoffmann1: @UBannow @drfranksauer @FRHoffmann1: This is a really good and concise thread by Uwe explaining why ITAR restrictions are irrelevant to the current discussion.
In short, Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG missiles were originally developed and built without ITAR components. Due to internal restructuring, MBDA temporarily used US components, which subjected them to ITAR restrictions. However, after the US vetoed an export to Egypt, France replaced these components again.
In any case, ITAR restrictions apply to export control but do not govern the use of these weapons once exported.
Therefore, even if Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG missiles in Ukraine's arsenal include US components, it doesn't make a difference. We already discussed all of this a year ago in the context of Taurus. https://twitter.com/UBannow/status/1835271834364674550#m

RT @RoubleDestroyer: My iPhone was stolen in London. Immediately, I enabled “lost phone” mode via Find My. Do this before they turn it off & the phone is less valuable.
It’s now in China & they want me to remove the phone from my account (to restore its value).
If this happens to you, ignore them.

@John_A_Ridge: What’s the range on that one 1,900km?
And can it be used for anti-ship purposes?

@visegrad24: Trump is a criminal and should be in prison instead of be President. He will surrender Ukraine if he becomes President. That being said we can acknowledge Presidential Candidates and all people in US shouldn’t he shot at while at the same time knowing Trump shouldn’t be President

RT @JoshDehaas: I love Canada but there's so much about it that's been frustrating lately. I just went to Japan for the first time and it really highlighted just how bad things have gotten here. Rather than wallowing in self-pity, I've decided to share my top 5 things we can learn from Japan. 👇

RT @AndrewPerpetua: In my opinion, the following things should be done to aid ukraine, and all of them should be done immediately:
1: sign purchase orders for tens of millions of artillery shells, no more half assing with buying a few hundred thousand at a time.
2: sign contracts to dramatically increase production of patriots + missiles
3: supply 100 ifvs to ukraine per month
4: purchase enough ew for every brigade + every major front line city.
5: supply enough engineering equipment (dozers, excavators, etc) to form engineering brigades + equipment for each battalion
6: fund ukrainian drone manufacturers to help them scale production
i think all of these can be accomplished immediately through joint funding of united states, canada, and europe.
stop wasting money on stupid national projects and stop pretending your money has to be spent in your own country. just end the damn war for fucks sake

Possibly a Norinco SKS.

RT @John_A_Ridge: Lockheed Martin is slated to reveal JASSM-XR, an extended range derivative of JASSM-ER/LRASM tonight in just over 5 hours, at midnight September 16 (U.S. Central Time).
JASSM-XR will presumably be showcased at the Air & Space Forces Association, which opens tomorrow in D.C.

@30de2e4d6c4f416: It has been a problem for some time, but the good news is that Ukraine is having success countering Russian ISR UAVs, which are used to locate targets for both.
