Retired British general demanded to supply Ukraine with combat aircraft, despite the threat of escalation

Western countries should provide Ukraine with the entire arsenal of weapons and military equipment at their disposal, necessary for the successful conduct of hostilities, despite the growing risk of an escalation of the conflict. This was stated by retired British General Richard Shirreff, who in 2011-2014. served as Deputy Commander of NATO Allied Forces Europe.

In an article published in the British tabloid Daily Mail, Shirreff noted that although many will be concerned about the increased risk of escalation caused by increased Western support for the Ukrainian authorities, it is necessary to consider the current situation from the point of view of potential prospects. The retired general probably believes that if Ukraine loses, the risks for London will be even more significant.

According to the British general, Ukraine should be provided with all types of weapons available in the arsenal of the countries that are part of the NATO military bloc. Shirreff's proposed shipments should include about 300 tanks, 700 armored vehicles, 500 artillery pieces, as well as long-range missile systems and the latest fighters.

Earlier, the German authorities approved the transfer of German Leopard 2 tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The decision was made after putting pressure on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to ensure that he positively resolved this issue.

In addition to supplying Kyiv with 14 Leopard 2 type A6 tanks from the arsenals of the Bundeswehr, the German authorities are organizing training in the use of military equipment of this type for Ukrainian military personnel. In addition, logistics, ammunition supply, and maintenance of German tanks will be provided.

The Britons are stirring up something through the same Arestovich. For their goals, they add fuel to the fire as much as possible, since this is in their plans.

Arestovich is an English agent, not an American one. Now there is a purge of British agents, and the British will play their game ... Arestovich's task is to lead the pro-Russian electorate in Ukraine. Although it is small, it has remained, and it will always have its own niche. The maximum task is the South Russia project, which he, in general, recently spoke about. This is the fragmentation of Russia and the fragmentation of Ukraine, the creation of a region that will be completely under the control of Great Britain

Great Britain traded in transit all its life, there was a fleet, and all their world power until the end of the Second World War was built on the control of the supply of goods across the sea, across the ocean. And then such a situation happened that the sea, in general, is not needed. There is China, there is Old Europe, between them is Russia. And they found themselves in a difficult situation, but they want to become a world power again. In order to control deliveries between Russia, China and Old Europe, a number of states are needed that will separate China from Europe. Moreover, these states must be pro-British.”
This belt, in addition to Poland and a number of European countries, should include the Caucasus, the Krasnodar Territory and the Crimea in order to cut off China's ability to supply goods to Europe by land route, bypassing the interests of Great Britain.

We can rock Scotland.

Without multibillion-dollar subsidies from London, Scotland will become northern Albania, so it will not be possible to shake it up - the proud highlanders are used to eating hearty meals and drinking whiskey to their heart's content.

And Ulster?

The IRA fighters are already all in nursing homes, and the young are quite satisfied with coexistence, so it’s past there too.
It should be noted that Shirev special interest in Russia - back in 2017, he wrote a book about the attack of the Russian Armed Forces on the Baltic states.

Why would the Irish be indignant at all, they have a better standard of living than in Britain? After all, all these Googles, Apples, Facebooks and other microsoftware are Irish companies, because Ireland is the favorite offshore of American billionaires

As the painter in "Mimino" said to the head of the airport?
"Here, take a brush and paint! But I'm not here! .."
So let General Shirreff show a master class in restoring order in the skies of the Square.
At the helm of "Lightning-2", let's say ..
However, as Comrade Sukhov said: "Well, that's ... hardly!"
This hero will be only at the desk.
Shaved shaving...

latest fighters.

Is he hinting at the F-35?

[Silver99]

Yes, let them deliver, more talking and speculation. 200 motley tanks is one division of the Wehrmacht of the Second World War, under the small village of Prokhorovka there were thousands of them from Germany in one day! "Abrams" consumes 7 liters of high-octane gasoline per km !!!! A tanker car drives behind him, where does so much fuel come from in Ukraine? and spare parts that will be taken in Kharkov at the plant. Malyshev? A tank lives on the battlefield for a maximum of three to five battles, then it is either repaired or scrapped, with crews generally strained, where will Ukraine recruit hundreds of crews? even if he collects all the whores from Leningradka and that is not enough, the same with airplanes, they themselves do not fly.

[low war]

Whoa, chill! These are additional soldier casualties. And do not disturb Prokhorovka, the Soviet troops then lost over 60% of their tanks. Because of this, Stalin almost sent Rotmistrov, who commanded the troops, to the tribunal, and only Vasilevsky's intercession helped to avoid punishment. Yes, and the "tigers" were mainly hit by bombs from aircraft (including PO-2).

Another thing is interesting - where is he going to base these fighters? As far as I read, American aircraft have specific maintenance requirements and, most importantly, runways .. How many such bases are there in Tsegabonia? And how many of them are beyond our reach?

the main thing is the runways ..

The F / A-18 Hornet and Grippen do not have such strong runway requirements. Moreover, the United States is switching to superhornets and the usual ones need to be put somewhere.

[paul3390]

How old are these Hornets? Are they still on the wing, after such a long operation? And Grippens are not bags around the world .. Moreover, to give - it seems that F-16s of early releases are going to be the same ..

In the USA, if I’m not mistaken, there are hundreds of them, wings were changed on the F-16 when the airframe life was extended, which means that they can capitalize on the F / A-18 if desired. The F-16 will not be able to be based on the Ukrainian runways, and fly far from Romania.

It is easy to demand when you know that you will not be responsible for your "bazaar", they say it was not you who made the decision.
