@ukraine_map @OSINTWarfare: There was a much smaller chance of Ukraine joining NATO or ever being a threat to Russia in 2020-2022 than in 2014 to 2019
Ukraine stopped bringing a full team of diplomats to NATO summits, decreased their military spending by $400 million, paused their long range missile and anti-ship missile programs, decreased tank production significantly, and sold most of their anti-tank weapons to foreign countries.
Guess what? Russia still invaded and used Ukraine being a “Nazi government” as an excuse. It goes against any claim you made about NATO expansion being a threat to Russia. If it was true, which it is not.

@JakubPalowski @cameron19460429: There is nobody that is showing any interest in going back to DPICM. The Army believes that their C-DAEM project will deliver a suitable replacement for that capability.

🇺🇸 Northrop Grumman has delivered the Stand-in Attack Weapon (SiAW) test missile to the US Air Force.
Flight tests to "verify that the launch aircraft can safely carry and separate the weapon" can now begin.
"SiAW is an air-to-ground weapon that will provide strike capability to defeat rapidly relocatable targets as part of an enemy’s anti-access/area denial environment."

Russia is expanding its solid-propellant motor-production facilities
Russia’s latest expansion and refurbishment of its solid-propellant motor production facilities signals a significant step towards bolstering its missile-manufacturing capabilities.

🇺🇸🇫🇷🇮🇹 The US Navy has posted a new RFI asking US surface combatant shipbuilders to detail their ability to produce the Constellation-class (FFG 62) frigate.
FFG 62 is based on the Franco-Italian FREMM. Fincantieri Marinette Marine in Wisconsin beat out Austal, General Dynamics, and Huntington Ingalls with their FREMM based design in 2020, winning a $795 million contract for the lead ship, with options for 9 more.
The USN plans to procure at least 20 FFG 62s, a number which will almost certainly increase; necessarily so if President Trump intends to work towards his prior pledge to build a 350 ship Navy.
Awarding a contract to a second shipyard will be essential to getting the class fully deployed in a relevant time frame. Of the available options, General Dynamics' Bath Iron Works in Maine is probably best positioned with regard to available capacity for new projects. BIW's prospects are also buoyed by Senator Collins...

We are now scaling up Ukrainian missile production. The first 100 missiles have already been produced this year. Serial production of R-360 Neptune cruise missiles has been successfully expanded, with upgrades enabling strikes at longer distances.

RT @MrHarryCole: NEW: The White House is continuing to block the use of the UK made firepower despite giving the greenlight for their own ATACMS to be used on limited strikes on Russian territory.
Multiple sources have confirmed British efforts have yet to convince Joe Biden to give the go ahead for our donated weaponry which has a longer range, but requires US tech for guidance.
PM Sir Keir Starmer has been lobbying Biden for months at the behest of the Ukrainians to relax the block on Storm Shadows - with No10 repeatedly refused to be drawn on Monday whether that goal had been reached.
But privately government figures admit that the American veto on Storm Shadows remains in place.

Russian Foreign Ministry: If Ukraine strikes Russia with western long-range missiles, this will radically change the nature of the conflict.
It will mean the direct participation of the US and its "satellites" in military operations against Russia, the ministry added.

If this is true, Ukraine just needs to tell Biden to shove it at this point. ATACMS are of limited utility without being part of larger complex raids with cruise missiles like Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG, and vice versa.

🇺🇸Announced late on Friday night in the hopes that nobody would notice: The Department of Defense failed to achieve a clean audit opinion for the 7th year straight.
While they continue to make improvements in their financial management practices, doing the Friday night news dump undermines that message and creates further doubt in transparency at the Pentagon.
