It is not 13% in Russia and I could not care less what it was in the UK back then, there was no war in the UK to make a comparion and its nothing to do with this topic.

More Russian evacuations due to some excellent targeting of huge ammunition's warehouses Things got hot in Russia's Tver region overnight as Ukrainian drones descended on what may have been one of the largest missile and ammunition storage locations in the country. Evacuations have begun in several settlements across the region. In 2018, Russia openly admitted to constructing a missile storage arsenal in Toropets.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people. Will the Hezbollah terrorists accuse Israel of pagercide now?

ISW Ukrainian forces regained territory near Kharkiv City and Pokrovsk. Russian forces advanced near Kreminna, Chasiv Yar, Pokrovsk, and Vuhledar.

Why Ukraine are fighting these terrorists and ignore the haters who do nothing but diss there efforts. Posted by Ukraine's Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights https://x.com/lubinetzs/status/1835927628840054796

Classic war economy.

I know and assume just about everybody else also knows without having to post such garbage

Irrelevant to the Lend Lease that Russia received to beat Germany whether it was US or UK British ‘Lend-Lease’ Aid to the USSR and the Battle of Moscow in the Light of Soviet and German Sources

From the BBC The sentencing hearing is told Edwards, 63, paid another man, Alex Williams, hundreds of pounds for gifts and presents in exchange for the images https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cvgxg673y8et

Rubbish your still not even reading the links supplied, let alone able to supply your own to back up your claims. "Lend-Lease tanks constituted 30 to 40 percent of heavy and medium tank strength before Moscow at the beginning of December 1941." Yes the UK tanks were part of Lend Lease, again on the Wiki link that you claim to have read 3 times......

It's very clear Lend Lease or no Lend Lease, Russia would have won, Its not only Stalin but obviously your amateur ramblings have you in an alternate reality. If it was so clear you would provide links to all the professionals opinions making it such.

The British tanks were donated to Russia, over 5,000. They came from the US which donated them to the UK via Lean Lease.............. 13,000 battle tanks. from a link I had already provided to you but you obviously failed to read. How did the Russians manufacture all their tanks and shells had it not been for the necessary metals provided by the US Lend Lease? Why have you not provided any professional opinions to back up your claims? "I want to tell you what, from the Russian point of view, the president and the United States have done for victory in this war," Stalin said. "The most important things in this war are the machines.... The United States is a country of machines. Without the machines we received through Lend-Lease, we would have lost the war."

Yes I did, how does that change the opinions given? Do you have any links to professional opinions disputing this or only you?

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.

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.
