RT @SonnyBunch: The extent to which link-deboosting has destroyed twitter as a useful place to find information cannot be overstated. You just tweet whatever and since nothing has a link anymore people don’t even TRY to verify if nonsense is true before smashing that like button.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 The Canadian Forces are pushing the government to buy M142 HIMARS.
"A 2024 CF briefing on the Long Range Precision Fires project, obtained by the Ottawa Citizen, noted that the acquisition of the equipment could be worth approx $5 billion [$3.47b USD]. The project would involve purchasing launchers, fire control software, munitions and spare parts."
The Army probably wants around 2 dozen HIMARS.
HIMARS unit cost: ~$5.3 million
GMLRS-U unit cost: ~$120,000
GMLRS-AW unit cost: ~$143,000
ER-GMLRS-U unit cost: ~$479,000
ER-GMLRS-AW unit cost: ~$539,000
ATACMS unit cost: ~$1 million
PrSM unit cost: ~$1.5 million

@marcthiessen: .@JacquiHeinrich asked the Trump Admin if they renewed the waiver or not and they couldn't provide an answer to that question. The Treasury Dept needs to make this clear.

RT @JacquiHeinrich: Trump has not reissued this waiver as of now - but nobody in the admin has stated that this was a choice rather than an oversight. Everybody we ask (WH, State, Treasury) says they’re looking into it and will get back to us... we’ve been asking for 2 days and no answer https://twitter.com/marcthiessen/status/1900190300330406116#m

@sidebart: Trump will be out of office by the time these are delivered, and the United States is not going to block allies from GPS services in any case.

@Vnark: Trump is not a serious person. The military doesn't care what he says. They want the best equipment for our soldiers and trust our military-to-military relationship with the US Armed Forces.

@_M471k: No. Chunmoo is inferior. Not combat proven. Can't get a TPT for them if we want to give them to Ukraine in future. If we order HIMARS now we will have them by 2029, maybe 2028 even.

Shcherbynivka, Toretsk.
Lift off of a Ru astronaut - wonderful, can't stop watching it.
A 1st Batt, 12th Special Purpose Bde 'Azov' drone-drop reportedly hits the guys ammo.
The force concentrated in the pipe = lift off. Then a crash landing.

RT @Vit_Ovchar: Чи не основна проблема наших проблем в Курській області - це те, що ми програли небо.
Початок кінця, а вірніше початок масових ударів російськими фпв дронами по всій контрольованій Україною зоні на Курщині почався 31 грудня, 2024го року. Саме тоді в районі першого кільця росіяни близько 18 години вечора знищили близько 6 наших авто.
Вже вранці 1го січня небо над всім сектором було російським. Купа дронів почала масове ураження цілей, що заїхати чи виїхати з сектора стало важко реалізуємо.
Звуження флангів - що дало змогу контролювати все небо над нашою Курщиною, що як наслідок вбило нашу логістику, переведення на курщину найкращих фпв екіпажів, використання оптоволокна, штурми північних корейців... це все показувало, що рано чи пізно росіяни підуть у масований штурм, який і призведе до їх успіху. Так і сталось.
31 грудня стало зрозуміло, що якщо щось не зробити з небом і нормально нашу логістику не відновити, то настане кінець будь якому нашому пересуванню (ротація і підвоз бч).
Власне це і сталось.
