🇸🇰🇺🇦 Bloomberg: Slovakia Is Arming Ukraine Even Though It Doesn’t Want To
Despite the Slovak government's pledge that they won't provide military aid to Ukraine, commercial contracts for ammunition are still pumping out shells.
Pre-2022 invasion, Slovakia was producing just 20,000 155mm shells annually.
This year, they expect to produce 125,000 large calibre shells.
Next year they aim to produce 200,000, per Defense Minister Robert Kalinak.
His predecessor, Jaroslav Nad, had said last year that virtually all of Slovakia's production, both for that year and the next 3 was already booked for Ukraine.

RT @MT_Anderson: 🇷🇺MED SEA FLOTILLA🇷🇺
0.5m📷 from 20 July 2024 of the port of Tartus
Admiral Grigorovich, Ufa, Kola and Paromov are at the piers
Alatau is gone. I thought she may be the rescue tug that sailed with Ufa to the Pacific fleet but perhaps she is with Varyag/Shaposhnikov?

@mikeplunkettuk @TomSharpe134: A few thoughts on article and thread:
Unless the political decision to go after neutral merchant ships is taken, there aren't many targets for the Russians to go after in the Western Black Sea.
The largest would be the Border Guard Stenka's. This means we don't have much data to assess what effects ASuW-wise BLKFLT actually could generate.
Also, I think the land situation needs to be taken into account when trying to determine how exposed Crimea actually is. Large, successful Ukrainian offensive(s) than can threaten Crimea are unlikely on the current trajectory.

RT @FRHoffmann1: Critics of deploying U.S. medium-range missiles to Germany have overstated the risks & drawbacks of this decision.
In this article for Behind the Front (@FPRI), I address these misconceptions & outline the benefits of the deployment.

Secretary Blinken's trip to Japan is confirmed. Hopefully we will learn some more details about PATRIOT missile production cooperation between the US & Japan while he is in Tokyo. If Boeing can't build enough seekers, then license those to a Japanese firm too!

Probably should have stuck with Oshkosh. Of course, if the defense budget was adequate, they could afford to have both of them on contract and compete for orders. FMS demand for JLTV continues to grow, and would be even higher if Biden had the sense to send 100 to Ukraine.
