  • Ukraine is running desperately low on ammunition ahead of an expected Russian offensive. Ukrainian artillery teams have been working around the clock to try to slow Moscow’s advances with the M109 Paladin howitzer. Troops say that they are outgunned -for each artillery round fired, Russia fires ten.
    WSJ’s Ben C. Solomon spent time with an artillery team under pressure as its supply of shells dwindles.

      The US has been using banned substances too (white phosforus, for instance, and of course Agent Orange and napalm in 'Nam). Even the British had decided they were going to use mustard gas as a last resort if the Germans had tried to invade England from the sea in 1940.

    I find it really interesting that these artillery positions appear so static.
    I would have thought between counter battery radar and drones the batteries would displace between fire missions, but looking at the way the ammo is stacked on the ground, log structures, camouflaged firing positions (as opposed to camouflaged hides) etc it appears that they expect to be in location for some time and are not dispolacing between missions.
    In 20 minutes I really would have though a modern enemy would have located the battery and fire a counterbattery mission.

If a NATO member is attacked, the U.S, along with other NATO countries, are obliged to defend the NATO country being attacked under NATO's Article 5. So in that case, a 21 year old American could be sent to war to defend the NATO country. He never said they'd be putting their lives on the line for Ukraine in that instance, he meant that they'd be putting it on the line for a NATO country west of Ukraine.
