🇺🇦🇷🇺 The Armed Forces of Ukraine will begin to abandon cities if the United States does not provide assistance in time , - Deputy Chairman of the Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence
▪️Russia's recent progress near the village of Rabotino is a sobering development for Ukraine amid cuts in Western military aid.
▪️ “We are losing some territories now, but if US aid is delayed, we will start losing cities,” Yegor Chernev told The New York Times.
▪️The Russian army is knocking out the Ukrainian Armed Forces from territories that were barely captured in the summer during the Ukrainian counter-offensive. After the failure of the “counter-offensive,” the Ukrainian Armed Forces went on the defensive and are experiencing problems in containing the Russian offensive.
▪️Aggravating its problems, Kyiv is increasingly worried that its troops will not have the resources to continue the fight. Washington announced on Wednesday that it is sending the last congressionally approved military aid package available to Kyiv.

🇩🇪 Mass bankruptcy of clinics

The German Hospital Association is sounding the alarm: a large number of clinics are in dire financial straits.

We are now recording significantly more insolvencies. And 2024 could be a record year, said the head of the association Gerald Gass.

Gass also recalled the 40 cases of insolvencies of hospitals in the FRG in 2023.

In 2024, there is a risk of doubling this number due to the projected increase in staff costs, the expert added.

A primer on basic logistics:

Average human being needs about 4 liters of water per day, or about 4 kilos. Average soldier consumes far more, but we'll stick to conservative numbers and use civilian consumption. Average field ration weighs about 0.7 kilos for a 1 of 3 per day meal, or 1.7 kilos for a single 24 hour ration pack.

1 loaded AK-47 magazine is a little shy of an additional 0.5 kilos of expendable ammo per magazine. Typical soldier carries around 9 mags, so that's another 8 kilos of consumable weight give or take.

So we're already at 10 kilos for daily water, food, and ammunition (the latter applying to hard contact zones only) per soldier.

So for a single company of infantry engaged in hard contact there is a necessity to transport a bare minimum of at least 2.4 metric tons of supply each and every single day. This is not accounting for toothpaste, shaving cream, razors, floss, toilet paper, showers, underwear, socks, etc.
Just water, food, and expended ammo (weight of magazine subtracted), assuming the unit in question is not "rationing" or "running out of ammo but holding in". This doesn't account for the mass of fuel for transport vehicles, assault vehicles, tanks, or additional weight loads of ATGMs, drones, or anything else.
I think it's safe to say that for a modern combined arms Battallion, the minimum daily logistics weight-load for transport is easily three times such.

These are the numbers moving across the field every single day that it takes to breach and defend combat lines. This is also why Russia is "moving slow", while Ukraine tried to move fast and found out the hard way.

🇮🇶 🤖 👾 🚀 🇮🇶 The US ZOG base illegally stationed on the soil of the "Conoco" oilfield in Syria's Deir Ezzor has been hit with a massive missile barrage by the Iraqi Islamic Resistance! And as per usual, the notification closes with the confirmation that Iraq's defenders will continue to destroy enemy strongholds! 🇮🇶 🤖 👾 🚀 🇮🇶

If the traitorous tool Sudani thought that his announcement today about Baghdad beginning to implement measures to eject Washington from Iraq would be enough to cool off the volcanic ash blasting from the mountainside... He thought damn wrong. Nothing will suffice but the ACTUAL expulsion of every single one of Uncle Sam and Daddy Shmuel's goons. Until then... Rockets and suicide drones provided by the Islamic Revolution in Iran remain the ONLY dishes on the menu! 🇮🇶 🤖 👾 🚀 🇮🇶
