Kiev demanded the United States and European countries to supply its Army with cluster munition and precision bombs, according to Foreign Policy.
According to the undisclosed sources, over the past month, Ukrainian officials have been asking for US-made dual-purpose improved conventional munitions, or DPICMs, as well as for their European-made equivalents. These are cluster munitions aimed at bursting into scores of smaller submunitions in order to destroy military equipment as well as enemy servicemen.
Kiev is reportedly begging for cluster munitions despite the fact that it is currently prohibited to export such systems in the United States.
In addition, the Ukrainians requested Swedish-French BONUS cluster munitions, guided precision bombs made by Boeing and Saab, as well as Swedish RBS-70 MANPADS.
Ukrainian member of parliament Alexandra Ustinova claimed that “Sweden has tons of weapons that we need.”
Russia earlier sent a note to NATO countries because of the military supplies to Ukraine. Spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the supply of weapons to Kiev brings NATO closer to the line of a direct clash with Russia.
They were asking for nuclear strikes, too.
Bill Gates has billions of bucks that I need and Charles from Britain has some castles that I like, maybe I should just ask for them like these Ukronazy vermin?
Russia should FINALLY start to destroy such shipments before they enter Ukraine. Show some balls.
In WW2 the allied forces bombed German railroads.
In the ’99 War, NATO bombed Serbian railroads and civilian trains.
Destroying them immediately when they entered Ukraine is the much safer option. But that Russia should imho do, not wait until the weaponry is dispersed along the frontline.
That’s right. Destroy the weaponry before the Ukrainians can sell it and ship it out to buyers. Deprive Zelensky’s Ukraine of its main revenue source.
So Kyiv is asking for more cluster munitions in order to destroy military equipment as well as enemy servicemen – while at the moment they are already using such munition also when shelling civilian targets – something that is their repeatedly daily activity, also using HIMARS for the purpose.
Stultedberg says: “Ukraine would never use such things. Russia would use them, but never Ukraine.
I wonder what special ed class they pulled Stulty out of.
He’s just a wind up doll, downloading talking points from higher up.
If the Russians ever shut his downlink down, he’d probably run in circles like a headless chicken with sparks coming out of his ears, then drop and morph into a flopping fish imitation.
when you hire bankers to run mil-ops…..
Maidan-nazi Ukraine fields now more or less one of the strongest armed forces in the world, as the West has emptied its arsenals into Ukraine. Everything besides a few of the newest equipment pieces is now pretty much transferred to Ukraine. Even the USA stockpiles of artillery ammunition are empty. M777A2 Howitzers were not only taken from cold storage but right out of active US army units that were training with it days before they were shipped. The German Bundeswehr, according to the German defense ministry, is down to 2 days (!) of warfare capability ammunition-wise if it came to open war.
The morons claim the russian army was weak, but it is fighting 30 NATO countries + Australia, New Zealand atm equipment- (= combat value), economic- and logistics-wise. The West cannot replace the equipment its losing easily. Germany shredded its deep- and broad-military industry after 1989/90, which – after 1955 re-armament and 1976 additional armament – did cost like 1 trillion to rebuild. In other words, Germany cannot rebuild the Gepard, Marder or maybe soon Leopard tanks it lent or gifted to Ukraine in any war-relevant timeframe (it would take 15-25 years with the present armament industry). Same with other European countries. So, what is lost in Ukraine is not available anymore either for the West itself or for weapons sales etc. in future conflict zones. Like a possible China-world war the Washington elite is so hell-bend to unleash after the Ukraine cabal. The combined costs of inflation, growth decline, covid19, new debt, contraception pill demographic kink (retirement of the baby boomer generation, the last demographically healthy generation), Ukraine conflict, climate change policies (HUUUGE costs, in the trillions), comming immigration waves from the global south, forming of new anti-Western alliances like BRICS and Shangai cooperation, and the planned war on China – the West is finished within 20-25 years, with hard decline already on its way right now. I’m not even starting with internal infight over anthropological degenerations like transsexuality pushed on children in school curriculums everywhere.
Oh they’ll replace the equipment all right. It may take them some time, but the MIC of all those countries are going to be very happy in the next years.
If a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO breaks out their production factories in Europe and the US mainland will be hit, and then hit again.
Don’t worry, they’ll make more!
It appears that the leadership of NATO/EU nations are deliberately killing their nations any way they can, and doing a good job of it. They certainly don’t serve ordinary people or smaller businesses.
Those Eurohuren are so gefickt Putin could just go right through their Fulda gap and there’s nothing they could do about it.
I think you got that wrong. If we now have ammo to fight two days, we now either have only half of the guns we used to have, or we have doubled our stockpile, because a few years ago, we had only ammo for one day.
Neocon logic – nobody ever won with that gobbledegook.
No wonder Stultedberg says “If Russia wins, NATO ends up with rotten eggs on its face”.
I love the smell of sulfur in the morning.
Good ’til the last Ukrainian drops.
With over 50% of their energy producing capacity gone and their power grid being devastated, they’re soon gonna be freezing their AASS off and begging for coats, socks and boots.
They descent from Russians, they know how to deal with cold.
More morgues?
Crimea could offer to sell them bottled water I suppose.
They started begging for that stuff a week or two ago.
They beg for everything else, so why not?
it is what they do, war or no war, complain and beg
Wham, bam, thank you douchebags.
Zelensky pleads: “The German nazis foresook us in WWII, Oh God America, not you too?.OK, so we demanded things from the Germans for being enthusiastic ethnic-cleansers and mass murderers and they finally told us we were getting too uppity, demanding too much in return and to to f_k off but you? You’re more tolerant, right?” Right? Right? :
American weapons are already being used to bomb civilians
Might as well send them better ones to do it more efficiently
As long as the MIC gets it’s blood money, who cares?
Have they run out of petal bombs? No doubt, cluster munitions intended for civilian targets. We all know that rogue regime in Kiev and Washington by now.
BTW: The UN can now be officially delared an empty vessel. A spittoon, to be exact.
Well Russia brought out the big blow torch [smells like victory] so I guess this is to be expected.
they already have cluster munitions and use them regularly in donbass
We had a contract and design patents and they stiffed us. Typical ukroids.
How about a “wet job” on the dwarf Nazi named Zelensky”
Cluster bombs are forbidden. International treaty, One too many blows up the nose Zelensky. wake up. then die.
Nothing’s forbidden for Zelensky, including a flying dropkick upside the head.
I wonder from which direction that’ll come. East, West or a homegrown affair.
They’re only forbidden if you sign onto the convention … neither the USA or Russia are signators to the convention.
We spit on conventions, agreements and election results. If we sign them, we sign them with lemon juice and fingers crossed behind our backs.
Russia should give them as many cluster munitions as possible preferably delivered as soon as possible.
Make them look like dollar bills and the war’ll be over in 24 hours.
Beggers beggers everywhere 😆 🤣 😂 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺
Russia would like to donate some to the troops in Andiveeka. all those in favor just jump out of your trench thirty feet into the air and disperse body parts in all directions.
So it’s an indicative for a bigger russian industry conversion to full time war ! Also it’s an indicative to keep the daily bombing of the energy grid till the utterly destruction. Also, it’s an indicative for passing to another heavy punishment of the bandera cockroaches: bridges over Dnieper and galician rolling stock train yards, depots and railway infrastructure.
The EU has $300 billion of stolen funds to rebuild the energy grid. Siemens will for sure provide at least 10 transformers for that but the mainenance is extra.
Then GE will insist it’s their turf and Siemens should get lost, but they’ll do the Germans a favor and buy Siemens for 5 cents on the dollar.
I remember that cluster bombs were described as a heinous weapon when Russia used them.
When the US uses them, they’re called tinker toys for tots and fall under the USAID program.
We made a killing in Central America under that program.
“These are cluster munitions aimed at bursting into scores of smaller submunitions in order to destroy military equipment as well as enemy servicemen.”
Or, in Ukraine’s case – designed to terrorize and destroy civilians who dared rise up against a criminal fascist regime.
