RT @Jeff21461: A strange case of ammunition commonality.
Ukrainian troops have recently been seen training on Swedish-donated Pbv-302 infantry fighting vehicles. One part of the video shows the reloading process of the 20mm cannon magazine.
While the reloading process itself is nothing special, the ammunition used however is. The round we see being loaded is the M57 20mm HE-I of Yugoslav origin.
M57 was produced for the Zastave M55 and M70 anti-aircraft guns, which are licensed copies of the Hispano-Suiza HS.804 20mm L/70. At least 100 of these guns, along with ammunition for them, had been donated by Croatia.
Similarly, Sweden licensed the HS.404 chambered in the same cartridge and used them on their Pbv-302. This means that the Croatian donated ammunition of Yugoslav origin works just fine on Swedish donated IFV's

@dverhoev @HermanSmetanin: You aren't producing more large calibre ammunition of any kind without some sort of explosive filler (TNT, IMX, RDX, COMP-B, etc), so it is increasing as well. I don't have figures to share at this time though.

@PpollingNumbers: It was artificially raised for several states and overall in Polymarket. People were investing because they’d know the hype would make it go up but eventually it’ll drop down to more realistic levels. Elon Musk, for example, was pushing Polymarket to go to 69.420% for a Trump win

@SIX_SH00T3R @AcepilotAV: It was the Boeing X-51 Waverider, unmanned scramjet. They built 4 experimental version. It won’t be developed any further and was retired in 2013. The longest it flew over 5 Mach was +360km in 210 seconds in 2013, and 2.5 minutes at speeds under 5 Mach.

RT @don_spiridon: Тут нещодавно якийсь персонаж нив, що жінка йому сніданок не робить. За 7 місяців в армії в мене накопичилось багато фото армійської їжі. Я згадав, що фоткати це я почав ще 20 років тому. Згадався перший комвзвод лейтенант Лазаревич. То, тримайте столовських історій тред🍽️

🇺🇦🇷🇺 There is zero evidence that Ukrainian F-16s have scored any air to air kills.
It remains the least plausible explanation for the loss of any Russian fighter aircraft.

The Army has certainly not prioritized ground based air defense, but the Air Force definitely would not either.
The fundamental problem is that the defense budget is far too small to meet the demands being placed on the Armed Forces. No service has enough money to fully fund their modernization programs or cover operations & maintenance costs.
Shuffling responsibilities around doesn't solve anything.
The strongest case for it is actually moving Sentinel from the AF to the Army. Each service should be responsible for 1 leg of the nuclear triad. https://twitter.com/Doha104p3/status/1852386938017222761#m
