Ukraine War Thread Part 2
Possibly or possibly not. Yesterday Speaker Mike Johnson made the first significant noises that he will ( obviously unwillingly ) put the relevant Bill up for a vote after the Easter holiday .
.
WASHINGTON (AP) — For over a month, House Speaker Mike Johnson has sat on a funding package that would send desperately needed ammunition and weaponry to Ukraine, mulling how best to gain a grasp of what is expected to be a difficult lift in the House.
The Republican speaker has indicated he will attempt to push for approval of tens of billions in wartime funding for Ukraine, as well as Israel, once the House returns in April. Yet it will be perhaps his most difficult task since he took the speaker’s gavel late last year.
“We’ll turn our attention to it and we won’t delay on that,” the Louisiana representative said of the Ukraine package at a news conference last week..

Not good. RU can probably afford to loose 30K a month for a long time.

If you manage to increase the wingspan to 3 m and decrease the wing depth to 25 cm you keep the same wing area of 0.75 m2 and you get the same aspect ratio of 12 as the ATR-72.
It's possibly not an easy engineering task but it is NOT physically impossible.

They had previously hit a Russian oil facility in this region, so possibly a return visit?
The alternate is they shot down their own cruise missiles heading for Ukraine lol.

Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
What are they made out of? I’m presuming it’s an off the shelf commercial item.

Ruzzian Z military “correspondents”complain: “Ukrainians are dropping bombs with teeth from drones in the Avdiivka direction, which fly apart when they explode and cut our boys into pieces.”

They look like bicycle sprockets, laser cut from sheet steel? Starved of weapons by complacent West, Ukrainian ingenuity is matched only by their bravery.

One of Russia’s endless attacks. Quote from elsewhere.
The very first footages of repelling the largest Russian tank attack of the entire war began to appear. The attack took place on March 30th on the Avdiivka front near the village of Tonenke. Russia gathered 36 tanks and 12 AFVs for this attack. 12 tanks and 8 AFVs were reportedly destroyed as a result. Now, 25th brigade of Ukraine published the first footages. The 25th Brigade itself destroyed 4 tanks and 2 BMPs.
