The British government said on Tuesday it would commit its largest-ever tranche of military aid to Ukraine as part of a package worth £500 million ($622 million). The assistance will include further deliveries of Storm Shadow air-launched, precision-guided missiles, as well as vessels and vehicles.
The Paveway IV—the latest in the Paveway series of bombs—converts unguided munitions, also known as "dumb bombs," into precision-guided weapons. They can use laser guidance or satellites to find their way to a target.
"The Paveway IV will enable Ukraine to strike back" at Russian forces and target high-value assets such as command centers and Moscow's air defenses, military expert David Hambling told Newsweek.
"Effective anti-aircraft systems on both sides have greatly reduced the impact of tactical airpower," Hambling said. "This is why planes need longer-range weapons like the Paveway IV so they can strike from outside the danger zone."
The U.K. has also pledged additional air-launched long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles.
The U.K. aid comes as the U.S. gives the greenlight to a substantial new military aid package to Ukraine, after more than $60 billion in assistance spent months ensnared in Congress. President Joe Biden rubberstamped the package on Wednesday, and the Pentagon announced a $1 billion tranche of aid to cover Ukraine's "most urgent requirements."...

No wonder this weasel won’t serve his country Ukraine. He can’t possibly fight Russians because the sniveling coward gets butthurt over keywords and has to call his mommy.
WW III coming soon to a country near you soon.
Led by no other than Castro’s Lil’ Bastard ! Why do 🍁’s suck so much ?
Never, he ignores and makes excuses for the tyranny going on there.
I know Canadians who despise Trudeau and speak out about it.
Not this one.

Pretty sure he is a menopausalwoman, like our other europosters.
Ah, quit being so nice! LOL
Karen_canuck demands to speak to the management.
You’re still here, foreigner?
You told us that you were leaving because pro-American FReepers were hurting your feelings by disagreeing with your globalist, warmongering posts.
Remember your cry-baby post to the Robinsons?

This is a good example of why FR is dying
FR used to be fun, positive, something to look forward to
Now it’s just rampant bullying and personal insults every day - and you do nothing about it
So good people quietly leave ... with their donations
Look, it’s your site, if you want to turn Free Republic into “Free Russia”, just keep doing nothing
But then make sure you hit up the Russia cheerleaders for your donations (funny, we never see their names on the donor board)
Go ahead, flame me, I don’t care ... I’m on my way out of FR too, it’s not fun anymore

So why are you still here, Drama Queen?
“”The Paveway IV will enable Ukraine to strike back” at Russian forces and target high-value assets such as command centers and Moscow’s air defenses, military expert David Hambling told Newsweek.”
Does this really give the Ukes the range to hit the city of Moscow’s anti-aircraft and missile defences, and is that a good idea for them to do?
If you can't take the heat, LEAVE, hoser.
Zeepers are delusional NeoCons.
Whining like a baby.
Yep. Nasty, frustrated old frumps with too much time on their hands.
“Do you ever see this Canadian comment on his Marxist country or leader?”
Never.
You haven’t figured out that the vast majority of FR posters are opposed to sending more of our money to a known money-laundering machine?
You haven’t figured out that the more intelligent of us are tired of being called “Putin puffers,” “Russians,” “Bolsheviks” and other such stupid insults just because we don’t want any more of our tax dollars going to line the pockets of crooks like Zelensky, Biden, Pelosi and other assorted rats?
You zeepers have run good posters off of this forum with that stupidity. Posters who donated regularly.
So sit down and stop your whining, Canadian.
That gal there is way past menopause. What we have here are leftist leaning fe or she males.
Have you noticed how the Zeeptards think they scored a major victory by Johnson’s betrayal of the base? They are all uppity and entitled acting. The very fact they revel in it shows who they are and whose side they are on.
This coward claimed he/she was leaving here and failed to put his/her money where his/her big mouth is. Mark of a true loser. Heh
A few zeepers in their leftist celebrating and gloating were posting Miley Cyrus lyrics back and forth to each other. “It’s a party in the USA” they were declaring in ALLCAPS.
They sound like a bunch of pre-pubescent girls posting their teeny-bopper songs to each other.
And some of them are FReepers. There are some great Canadian posters here.
They’re probably embarrassed by this leftist Ukrainian whiner.
This one here is unreal. Persistent whining to JR while at the same time insulting the site because people don’t agree with his goofy Biden/RINO war agenda and the robbery of our tax dollars.
Leave it to them to get all we we’ed up over ole Smelly Virus and her pervert songs. LOL
To me, if you are going to post a stupid comment proclaiming you are leaving this site, then at least get the hell out to prove you aren’t a total liar.
This one couldn’t even do that!
