The leaked U.S. Pentagon documents paint a grim picture of Ukraine's air defense outlook, predicting that the country could run out of key assets before the end of May.
Ukraine's S-300 air defense systems could run out of ammunition by as early as May 2, while the country's other air defenses could be depleted by May 23, the documents warn. The documents, dated to late February, state that systems like the S-300 make up some 89% of Ukraine's air defense capability.
Should Ukraine lose its ability to threaten Russian aircraft encroaching on its territory, the conflict could quickly turn.
Currently, Russia maintains a fleet of some 485 fighter jets, compared to Ukraine's 85. Should air defense systems go offline, Ukraine's lopsided numbers game in the air would be its only means of securing the sky over Ukrainian troops.

Also that we need to quickly move over more anti aircraft missiles.
Ukraine HAS to be posed as a victim in need of our help to cover the decades old, and highly treasonously illegal money laundering of the biden/obama/clinton/democrat-commie crime syndicates,
and the USA must deplete the robust military President Trump had developed and was growing daily.
So now we are BOTH broke . . .
way t'go, joe.
Quick! Send them another $30 billion to launder...errrr.... defend themselves with!
Sounds like Zelensky wants Mo Money.
No worries. Daily Mail said that Ukrainian grandmothers have been taking out Russian drones and aircraft with broomsticks and pickle jars.
End the war and their supplies will last 10 years.
Seriously? There is no lack of US equipment except for some categories such as artillery shells. For instance, we sent Ukraine 109 Bradleys. We have 2,000 in storage.
Because you can only have a gun for hunting.
LOL about the BS they print
Lol. You don’t just ship more missiles. It took years to build up the stockpiles. There is no way to build a large amount of these things quickly. It’s a little more complicated than converting the auto industry to build Sherman tanks.
In other words the spigot is being turned off.
The S-500 (AWACS killer) has been deployed by Russia.
Both GPS and AWACS are now vulnerable and without at least one of them the modern battlefield becomes problematic for advanced weaponry.
According to the Brookings Institute and Census Bureau - Fed.gov employment has risen from about 1.0% of total population in 1939, to about 4.4% today (including full-time contractors). State-local governments have also grown 4X or more in that time also.
Today about 17% of the entire labor force is employed by government at some level
America has a skills and labor shortage, because tens of millions of Americans are employees of the bloated nanny-state, which is highly inefficient and produces almost nothing. Moreover, an increase in Government employment is corollated to higher regulation, with the dead-hand of government oppressing productive industry.
America suffers from the most expensive government in the world. Add to that the deficits and massive debts it takes to keep all this alive - and we are going to get our asses kicked.
Ok, got it. So basically Burisma paid The Atlantic Council somewhere between 100 to 249k and then The Atlantic Council "sponsored" a trip to Ukraine for Ted Lieu. Seems perfectly legit. pic.twitter.com/d3loQf6zeJ— Truth Ninja (@TruthNinja316) April 10, 2023
But I thought US intelligence agencies and the US military had all assured us that Russia had nothing left to fight with and that George Z. Washington II was about to be victorious? You mean they were wrong-——again.
This war is going to end with either a nuclear exchange or NATO being made impotent and the US dollar and economy wrecked by these warmongering maniacs in charge.
Let me guess - they all want more and more money
