Interesting - Pine Gap in Alice Springs likely gathering intelligence about Russia's next moves in Ukraine

Ukrainians could arrive in Australia from this weekend with government issuing 1,000 visas

The West might have to make cheap Sten guns again
as they did in WW2 -
and deliver them to millions of people in Ukraine
just like they did in WW2.

That’s where airdrops of STEN guns and other arms from the Allies came in handy. Taking only about a half dozen man-hours to build,



This meant they could be made in great volume and some 5 million Stens were cranked out officially during World War Two (as well as an estimated million more in underground shops).

British Special Operations Executive (SOE) units and Jedburgh teams with the U.S. OSS Special Operations (SO) branch fanned out across Europe, making contact with those who could use a delivery or ten of high explosives and STEN guns with the idea of setting Hitler’s Europe on fire.

The French received more deliveries than any other group, making the cheap submachine gun an iconic weapon of the beret-clad insurgent.








The sight was welded in place - no adjustment!

Modern warfare is coward warfare.
Gone are the good old days when you could use a Bastard Sword and comment on your enemy's sense of fashion eye to eye before you behead him.
These days, warfare is conducted by hiding in an unseen anonymous position of safety as far from your enemy as you can get to kill them. About as tough as pressing a button.

Meanwhile Putin talks of a nuclear option:

“Russia’s nuclear arsenal is vast, with 14,000 atomic bombs in storage. Russia has around 2,400 strategic nuclear weapons, the majority of which are linked to the intercontinental ballistic missile force, according to Lanoszka. The majority of these weapons, however, are not instantly useable.

“Russia is thought to have 1,600 tactical nuclear weapons deployed… Most of these tactical nukes would be carried by sea, but many more would be transported by air or even ground.”

Russia is the world’s most immense nuclear power with its nuclear arsenal, closely followed by the United States. Together, they control over 93 per cent of the world’s nuclear weapons. The United States has 3,750 active and non-nuclear warheads, with 150 of them stationed in Europe.   

The United Kingdom maintains a sea-based deterrent of roughly 225 nuclear weapons, with about half operationally accessible on four submarines. One-third or so are on active deployment at any given time. According to Lanoszka, France possesses a nuclear stockpile of roughly 300 nuclear weapons. 



“MAD is meant to apply – but we didn’t expect Putin to invade a sovereign country and put Russian military in jeopardy with over 4,200 casualties.” Putin is putting soldiers’ lives in jeopardy as if they were players in a chess match. Because nuclear deterrence needs a logical decision, as we learned from the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, these factors make it impossible for it to work correctly,” she said. 

    “A nuclear assault on a tactical level is doable, but it will lead to a disastrous MAD escalation.”

Oh dear - Zelenskyy rebukes NATO for refusing a no-fly zone over Ukraine, as Russian air strikes escalate

Considering the 'American Eagle' has relied on its 'air power' more than anything to wage its wars and win (and lose) - than any other nation.
Looks like even America will be compromised more than any other nation if shooting expensive multi-million dollar jets and Copters out of the sky becomes a turkey shoot.

Russia, China, India and even Indonesia have the advantage to just grind down the enemy with superior numbers. Eventually, when the climate moves more towards Russian advantage - there will be too many Russians for the Ukrainians to fight (almost guerilla atm). It will be like wave after wave in a game of Space Invaders. No amount of weaponry support will help the Ukrainians against such massive numbers.

Maybe Putin is holding back a bit, thinking wether to send in some Nukes first?
Mind you, 66,000 'mercs' from around the world have rushed in to join Ukrainian forces in the hope of getting nuked like Surface Spray to ants.

Non-Military Taxpayers working their butts off to fund the Political/Military industries to buy very expensive toys and then blow them all up.

I'm sure Biden will send in his amphetamine pumped Air Pilots to shoot everything and 'everyone' like they did in the Iraq 'Bullshyte' Wars of Oil - where they were the chief causes of all 'friendly fire' casualties.
