  • If it wasn’t for China, Russia would be in far worse condition. The Russians are getting supplied parts and materials from China due to sanctions. That’s the only reason Russia is still able to have a manufacturing base. Sure they have manufacturing facilities but the material, parts, and equipment has to come from somewhere and that is likely mostly China. In exchange, China gets cheap oil and gas. If China adheres to the sanctions, the impact on Russia would have been far more amplified.







  • I checked Wikipedia and it says that as of this Feb there have already been 250 sent to Ukraine. It’s exported to at least 15 countries and something like 5,000 of them exist. France is phasing them out for a newer model and they appear to be effective. I’m hoping France just sends them a couple thousand with the mechanized configuration that includes anti tank weapons. I am surprised I hadn’t seen footage of these yet since they should have some in country.
