This is where the U.S. dollars are used. Buy ammo from third world countries, send to Ukraine. The cost for these logistics are high but welcome.

Yogurt?Why does Singapore need a Russian Cultural Center?
From what I saw his main complaint was the lack of counter battery fire and ammunition which was resulting in the death of many Russian troops who didn't have a chance. Also the lack of counter battery Radars to identify and locate the Ukraine weaponsGeneral Ivan Popov is reported to have disappeared following the publication of his highly critical remarks about the conduct of the war in southern Ukraine. He said earlier that he had been dismissed after criticising the Russian senior military leadership.

I appreciate his posts here. Thank you for the postings GTX. Sort of a heads up of various articles or posts bearing on the Ukraine war - informative and useful. I'm not here to argue either, rather to learn and share a few things.Instead of waves of media dumps can you tell us why you're posting this, what message are you conveying, what do you think of this media article?

Imagine this was a forum discussing restaurants, and all someone did was post media articles about the price of ingredients? Are they for a potato price increase, or against it? What's the context, why did they post dozens of articles on the topic without saying a word of their own?
Building on the above, there's a good article in the Times today where they interviewed a Ukrainian Artillery officer on the front line at Bahkmut. In the article the officer stated that in the beginning Russia were firing between two and three thousand shells a day, recently there was parity or to use his words, one in and one out. Now the Russian guns are relatively quiet.From what I saw his main complaint was the lack of counter battery fire and ammunition which was resulting in the death of many Russian troops who didn't have a chance. Also the lack of counter battery Radars to identify and locate the Ukraine weapons
In addition there was a posting a few days ago, that went into considerable detail about Russia effectively running out of high grade metal for new gun barrels and other specialist uses. This in turn was forcing a greater reliance on mortars which have a much shorter range and are generally towed. Which result in a severely degraded counter battery capability and heavier losses.
Put the two together and it really is possible that Russia is losing the Artillery war, the backbone of their forces.

In no way I was trying to do a poll, just getting some first hand opinion about a feeling.I'm not US cityzen, but I guess somehow you are indirectly trying to make a poll (a rather small one by the way) . Maybe those relatively recent ones (June 2023) can provide a bigger picture:
Wide partisan divisions remain in Americans’ views of the war in Ukraine
Republicans are far more likely than Democrats to say the United States is providing too much support to Ukraine (42% vs. 13%).www.pewresearch.org
Most Americans Still Support Ukraine War Effort
Before a short-lived rebellion in Russia, most Americans said the U.S. should continue supporting Ukraine and saw the war locked in a stalemate.news.gallup.com
That's a name that takes me back. Right up there with the Rapiers the Brits deployed at the Falklands.Maybe there are some retired ROLAND AA missile systems still around that may be brought back to life for use in Ukraine?
