UK to transfer tank armor piercing ammunition with depleted uranium to Ukraine

The UK will transfer armor piercing shells containing depleted uranium to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, State Defense Minister Annabel Goldie said.

"Alongside our granting of a squadron of Challenger 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine, we will be providing ammunition including armour piercing rounds which contain depleted uranium. Such rounds are highly effective in defeating modern tanks and armoured vehicles," Goldie reported in response to a written parliamentary question from a member of the House of Lords.

so before or at the start of that non sense war, when  their missiles hit apartment buildings/schools/and or hospitals they claimed it was by accident.... with precision missiles how can they claim accidents, for me it's as simple as 1,2 and 3, war crimes against innocent people

Four Slovakian MiG-29s Flown Directly To Ukraine To Join Its Air Force

 

In a move bound to raise hackles in Moscow, four Ukrainian pilots climbed into MiG-29 Fulcrum fighter jets in Slovakia and flew them home to join their own air force, the Slovakian Ministry of Defense (MoD) announced Thursday.

 

The Fulcrums were the first tranche from a total of 13 promised last week by Slovakia to Ukraine, which has had dire need of combat aircraft since the full-scale Russian invasion began.

There is another part-time actor, and an ex game show TV star who has always wanted to open one of his business franchises in Moscow and is likewise an admirer of Putin.

 

Maybe George could help him with tips on how to become a citizen and ambassador too, as he might find another passport handy soon.

Watch Tom Segura’s opinion on Steven Seagal, especially the bit (starts around 4:14 in the video) where Seagal trains martial arts to police officers. Hilarious.

you seem to be confused

it's completely irrelevant if it's NATO airspace or not - the relevant thing is whether Finland approved it or not.

 

Finland is the most important authority deciding who flies in its airspace.

I just read about that. It’s shocking and ridiculous that a 12-year-old girl is placed in an institution and her father is prosecute, just because of a drawing of this girl. What a sick and disgusting country Russia has become.

Of course Finland sanctioned and approved it, do you think it flew through Finland without permission?

Maybe you are interpreting the statement incorrectly. 

if Russia attacks a NATO/USAF aircraft that is patrolling its boarder gathering ELINT whilst in Finland airspace or anywhere else it could get quite nasty.

 

Finland is making a statement that it has applied to NATO for membership.

 

The base for RC-135s is in UK.

Somewhat more than nasty, and just the same if a NATO or US aircraft attacks Russia from outside it's borders.

Indeed, apparently Finland has now opened up all its airspace to NATO

Ukraine war: Battle for Bakhmut 'stabilising' - Ukraine commander

The battle for Bakhmut, the Ukrainian city which Russia has spent months trying to capture, is "stabilising", says Ukraine's commander in chief.

Earlier this month, Western officials estimated between 20,000 and 30,000 Russian troops had been killed or injured in Bakhmut since last summer.

But despite that, Valerii Zaluzhnyi said Ukrainian troops' "tremendous efforts" were holding back Russia.

Putin is engaging in an assault on civilization, humanity and democracy. He is a serial killing superfreak, who likes to prey on women and children. He needs to be dealt with. If not legally, than otherwise.
