Actually it received 13,000 battle tanks but that's irrelevant to the raw materials it also received to manufacture them. If you've read it 3 times then you also read the professional opinions that sort of over ride your amateur ones According to the Russian historian Boris Vadimovich Sokolov, Lend-Lease had a crucial role in winning the war: On the whole the following conclusion can be drawn: that without these Western shipments under Lend-Lease the Soviet Union not only would not have been able to win the Great Patriotic War, it would not have been able even to oppose the German invaders, since it could not itself produce sufficient quantities of arms and military equipment or adequate supplies of fuel and ammunition. Nikita Khrushchev, having served as a military commissar and intermediary between Stalin and his generals during the war, addressed directly the significance of Lend-lease aid in his memoirs: I would like to express my candid opinion about Stalin's views on whether the Red Army and the Soviet Union could have coped with Nazi Germany and survived the war without aid from the United States and Britain. First, I would like to tell about some remarks Stalin made and repeated several times when we were "discussing freely" among ourselves. He stated bluntly that if the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war. In a confidential interview with the wartime correspondent Konstantin Simonov, the Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov is quoted as saying: Today [1963] some say the Allies didn't really help us ... But listen, one cannot deny that the Americans shipped over to us material without which we could not have equipped our armies held in reserve or been able to continue the war.[46]

How's that famine in Gaza going? Recordings indicate Hamas has complete control over aid entering Gaza Channel 12 news plays intercepted recordings purporting to show Hamas operatives discussing how to disperse overflowing Gaza aid that they had seized. In the recordings of radio conversations, one operative says, “We have trucks overflowing with goods.” The second operative declines the offer, saying “we have everything. In the meantime, we have no room in the stores.” He then suggests they send the goods to Khan Younis. The report says the recordings indicate the difficulties in applying pressure on Hamas, which is making millions off control over the hundreds of trucks of international aid that enter Gaza every day. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/recordings-indicate-hamas-has-complete-control-over-aid-entering-gaza/

On the whole the following conclusion can be drawn: that without these Western shipments under Lend-Lease the Soviet Union not only would not have been able to win the Great Patriotic War, it would not have been able even to oppose the German invaders, since it could not itself produce sufficient quantities of arms and military equipment or adequate supplies of fuel and ammunition. The Soviet authorities were well aware of this dependency on Lend-Lease. Thus, Stalin told Harry Hopkins [FDR's emissary to Moscow in July 1941] that the U.S.S.R. could not match Germany's might as an occupier of Europe and its resources.

Pedo..........

Who claimed they would be game changers? Making things up again. Do you even read what I post? "Calling the lifting of restrictions a "game changer is probably too strong a word,"

And? Any amount is is worthwhile to help Ukraine.

(he is ex British Army and BBC and rumoured to be a spook!) Yes of course he is..............

NATO military chair, others back Ukraine's use of long range weapons to hit Russia The head of NATO's military committee said Saturday that Ukraine has the solid legal and military right to strike deep inside Russia to gain combat advantage — reflecting the beliefs of a number of U.S. allies — even as the Biden administration balks at allowing Kyiv to do so using American-made weapons. “Every nation that is attacked has the right to defend itself. And that right doesn’t stop at the border of your own nation,” said Adm. Rob Bauer, speaking at the close of the committee's annual meeting, also attended by U.S. Gen. CQ Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/nato-military-committee-chair-back-ukraines-long-range-113690875

ISW also covered that in its map of targets regardless of your hiatus

A detailed read of the article that backs up his opinion would suffice far better.

It will come eventually, never too late but obviously would have been far more useful sooner than later. The Russian targets that could be on Ukraine's long-range missile strike list Calling the lifting of restrictions a "game changer is probably too strong a word," Andreas Umland, analyst at the Stockholm Center for Eastern European Studies, told the Kyiv Independent. "But it would make a big difference of course. That's why the Ukrainians are so eager to get it." Western officials have been hesitant to openly talk about policy changes, likely out of concern that Russia will relocate potentially valuable targets out of reach before Ukraine is able to capitalize on its newfound range capabilities. A report from the Institute for the Study of War last month identified "no fewer than 245 known Russian military and paramilitary sites" within the 300-kilometer range of U.S.-supplied ATACMS, which is currently the furthest range of any Western-supplied missiles available to Ukraine. https://kyivindependent.com/the-russian-targets-that-could-be-on-ukraines-long-range-missile-strike-list/

fully expect to die peacefully in my bed of natural causes. Something I wish on everyone here. Its not about you, or me, why always off topic for you

It's very sad if he had kept off the internet and acted locally rather than filling his brain with distant confilcits over which he had no agency he would still be free oh the irony

But your just an anonymous internet poster, I go for opinions from those in the know a little more. Nikita Khrushchev "If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war," he wrote in his memoirs. "One-on-one against Hitler's Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war. No one talks about this officially" https://www.rferl.org/a/did-us-lend-lease-aid-tip-the-balance-in-soviet-fight-against-nazi-germany/30599486.html

Nope only one but that's another topic

At least he had one good aim, kill Putin On several occasions he mentioned the situation in Gaza. In December 2023, Routh posted a historic map questioning Jewish ownership of Israel, suggesting that it historically belonged to Palestinians.

Lambs to the slaughter here...............

Orc's never were the brightest.

Here you can see the Russian gun fire in the trees attempting to shoot then down.

ISW Update: NEW | · Russian forces continued counterattacking throughout the Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast on September 12 but made only marginal gains, likely due to continued Ukrainian offensive operations and defensive counterattacks in the area. Russian forces have so far advanced in areas of Kursk Oblast that Ukrainian forces were not yet fully controlling nor attempting to control, and Russian forces will likely face more difficulty when counterattacking further into areas of the salient where Ukrainian forces do have A Ukrainian HIMARS strike reportedly damaged a temporary pontoon bridge across the Seym River and wounded a group of nearby Russian troops on September 12. Russian authorities have reportedly deployed additional elements of the Russian 106th Airborne (VDV) Division to Kursk Oblast and may begin redeploying more combat experienced forces to support ongoing Russian counterattacks and future counteroffensive operations against Ukrainian forces in Russia. The United Kingdom (UK) will reportedly allow Ukraine to use UK-provided long-range Storm Shadow missiles to strike military objects in Russia in the coming days.
