I guess it all remains to be seen. Looks like right now NATO is only sending surplus equipment. When those run out, will they crank up the production lines?

Russia ironically needs dumb bombs at the moment. High volume of fire is becoming more important than standoff range for the Donbass portion of the conflict, unless those Tu-95s are doing standoff interdiction.
@SampanViking Unfortunatey, @Yommie doesnt care about the rules and is completely detailing the thread. Also, there is a high chance that he is a previously banned user since he is doing what that user did before.
No you sound like an over excited 5 year old. If you want to have a future on this forum, you need to settle down and start posting in a mature and considered manner. Simply posting half of twitter with a few very obvious comments is not the standard we want.So I was thinking about it. You know how Americans are pretty stupid right? All those high end Javelin and NLAW and M777 and Stinger falling into the hands of Russians in Ukraine. So what if China does a mock invasion of Russia and over run some border villages temporarily. Then the US send thousands of M1A2 and F-16 to Russia to fight back. Boom, Russia gets all those high end western hardware for free. Americans would get played by China and Russia.
Less volume of postings and more quality analysis will go a long way.
Otherwise I start to consider you a spammer and those do not last very long in this place..

Ukraine has to hold out for the next six months. After that, aid will slowly increase as industrial production ramps up.
This war will last for at least two years, even longer.

Interesting comments from Ben Wallace, the UK defence minister. Apparently the UK is going around the world buying Russian equipment to give to the Ukraine.
He also seems to think only 23 countries have Russian equipment, which is obviously not true.
Any thoughts what he's buying and who from? No doubt India would be the prime candidate.

What can they get that doesn't require a complete retraining and reformulation of Ukranian doctrine, though?.
After the surplus T-72's are done with, they will probably get Leo 1's which already is something completely different to what they have, and firepower wise is actually a downgrade.
Once they burn through those, what will they get, Leo 2's?. That would probably require massive amouts of retraining of ukrainian crews and I don't see Leo 2A4 users giving up theirs without replacement lined up, which is going to be complicated given the delays on the Leo 2 lines.
And the Ukrainian Air Force is in even deeper shit when it comes to replacements.
They might also run out of abled and willing people to man those systems first, so either NATO jumps in themselves or call it quits.
