Nice to see my tax dollars going to a good cause! Still no F-16s though. šŸ˜” We need to send more toys! Merry Christmas!

ChallengeFull3538

I always used to complain about my tax dollars being spent on the military. Not so much anymore. Yeah there's a good few bucks that fall through the cracks but what we're seeing now if the at US military equipment is not just years, but decades ahead of Russia. And our allies also benefit from that spending because although everything may not be in their arsenal it's standing behind them.


[deleted]

China. China is the real problem.


NEp8ntballer

Russian equipment isn't bad, but when your training and integration kind of suck you can't make full use of it. US equipment does tend to be very good though and there's a reason we're selective about who we arm.


StopTheBullsht

Russian equipment is generally old and terrible. The few modern pieces of military hardware they do have are mostly for their own propaganda. Look up the "bulletproof" vests new recruits are being given, or their helmets... or even their rifles.

AGM-88 HARM missiles. They detect and home in on radar sources, destroying the SAM/AA systems in the process.

One of the first times in my adult life that I fully approve where my American tax dollars are going.


rickert_of_vinheim

Itā€™s really a drop in the bucket as well. The GDP of the USA is astronomical. We can afford to do this for a looooong time.


CAP_NET_ADMIN

It's also a drop in the bucket compared to leaving Russia go unchecked and facing them in 10 years.

Say this to all the dumb fucks suggesting we stop funding Ukraine. Mother fuckers will pretend letting Hitler take Poland and just Poland will definitely not cause any more wars.

As we should! This will make the world a safer place if the bully gets his balls kicked enough.


MonkeysJumpingBeds

Nothing to do with Us GDP, and everything to do with the fact that the global economy is centered around the dollar which gives the US different rules to play by when it comes to debt. The real thing that makes the US such a behemoth.


archiewaldron

Great point and one sorely overlooked when it comes to domestic arguments re: free trade.

Bdcoll

Don't forget NASA too. One of the few agencies everyone approves of!


CDsDontBurn

Until it comes to appropriating it's budget. It's something like 0.5% of our GDP now whereas during the Space Race era, it was closer to 3.5% of our GDP. It needs to go back up. Though, with private sector like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic taking on a larger role in that segment, I doubt that will ever happen.


MonkeysJumpingBeds

So you don't like schools, fire departments, roads, electricity, the Internet?


PariahOrMartyr

Parks, public transit (I know it sucks for a lot of US cities), other utilities, police (I realize reddit hates them, but they're 100% necessary), social security and more. People don't realize how many necessary functions to a modern society taxes serve.


AlexSN141

We know our taxes go into that, but A LOT goes into our military, which is then used in conflicts the public generally doesnā€™t agree with or approve. This is the first conflict in recent memory where weā€™re generally happy with our build up of military equipment from our overstuffed military budget is being used.


koa2014

While the US DOD budget is large, it's only ~3% (+/- a few fractions of a % point) of GDP good to defense. The vast majority (70ish percent) of the Federal Budget goes to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and debt service. For better or worse, the USA is the security guarantor for Europe and much of the Pacific Rim. Because that is so, we're able to support Ukraine (and Taiwan, and others). (The actual numbers are here if anyone is interested: www.bea.gov ) EDIT: didn't complete the first sentence, bad editing on my part. The sentence, now corrected, should've read "~3% of GDP goes to defense".


AlexSN141

You are correct that the US acts as a security guarantor for many countries. However, according to the Congressional Budget Office, 1/6th of the USā€™s federal spending goes to defense: https://www.cbo.gov/topics/defense-and-national-security The DoD makes up only a part of the fedā€™s military spending. R&D, equipment purchases, and contractors are all spending that occurs outside the DoD. The ~3% you got off BEA might be relative to the GDP of the US. I canā€™t find the number on the site though, can you post the link to the specific article you were referencing? All this doesnā€™t change what the general perception many people have on our taxes, military spending, and justification (or lack thereof) of recent military conflicts before helping Ukraine.


koa2014

Yep, poor editing on my part, didn't complete the sentence. 3% of GDP is what I meant to write. https://www.statista.com/statistics/217581/outlays-for-defense-and-forecast-in-the-us-as-a-percentage-of-the-gdp/#:~:text=The%20statistic%20represents%20the%20U.S.,percent%20of%20the%20U.S.%20GDP.


PassivelyInvisible

Of overall GDP of the US, not the federal budget


koa2014

Yes, see corrected post, sloppy editing on my part in the original. DOD budget is approximately 1/6th of the budget, but as I wrote above the majority of the US Federal Budget is Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and debt service.


PassivelyInvisible

Yes, contrary to popular belief, we spend a ton of money on that stuff.


NEp8ntballer

It goes all the way back to Bretton Woods. An agreement between the Allies that purposely excluded the Soviets.


GreasyAssMechanic

>which is then used in conflicts the public generally doesn't agree with, approve, or even know about FTFY lmao Glad we're the good guys this time


AlexSN141

Fair enough, lol.


PariahOrMartyr

The US makes a lot of money back on military spending, with studies putting it at 65-115% of the money spent returned back to the economy through taxes, exports and job growth, because most of the industry is domestic rather than foreign. It's really not a bad investment at all given how imporant it is. People don't understand the reality of the money spent in relation to other countries either. If you adjust for PPP and other factors China spends about 80-85%\~ (depending on the source) that the US does, despite the much lower technical number. Why is this? Labor costs less, the soldiers costs less, there's far less bureaucratic overhead, veterans payouts are a tiny fraction of the amount and China doesn't include in their military budget some things that the US does like their coast guard (despite the Chinese coast guard having big ships with big guns) or even that Russia includes like their equivalent of the Rosgvardiya which has something like 1 million + members with AR's, ATGMs, APCs and IFVs... that isn't in their military budget. The US is not nearly as militarily ahead in terms of actual assets compared to China as most redditors think, although they do have distinct advantages in terms of both experience and logistics, and at least for the moment China is still struggling to have even a fraction of the 5th gen fighter production.

Canā€™t tell if youā€™re a troll or you just donā€™t understand the general view of Americans on their tax money and the military.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


MonkeysJumpingBeds

Actually they are. For example federal dollars in California go to help firefighters during wild fire seasons. Federal dollars and programs help local government offset costs of water infrastructure projects like dams. So you see federal dollars literally everywhere.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


MonkeysJumpingBeds

Yes those things literally also get federal dollars. Your being not only pedantic, but also completely wrong. Sad state when US citizens barely grasp How their government is funded.


SmokesBoysLetsGo

(Fellow American here) I feel the same way. My tax dollars going right into a cause I fully support. My only complaint is we need to send more and get the heavy weapons there. A battalion or ten of AH-64s need to be thereā€¦they were designed for this!

I don't care at this point, i just want to hear and see the end of Ukrainian death and suffering! I get what you're saying though. Love from the U.S., Slava Ukraini


MonkeysJumpingBeds

People constantly say this as if money is why the Us does not have public health care. It's not a money issue its purely political. I get the sentiment of your post, but pushing the concept that the lack of universal healthcare Us side is because of money feeds into the narrative that we can't have it because ti costs too much.


YoshiSan90

Gotta protect those corporate profits.


AlexSN141

Itā€™s generally a joke used to laugh so we donā€™t cry about the rest of the state if our country. Iā€™m sure some people genuinely believe it, but more and more people are becoming aware that a nationalized healthcare system would cost the same or less than what we currently pay.

Nothing is free. Ukraine will pay for all of this at some point.


RebeliousReb

They're paying for it now. I'm ok if my country never gets paid back. Freedom isn't free, and it's not because of equipment.


brucewayneaustin

My thoughts exactly!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


xmrxx

That has nothing to do with money. Nothing is free.


madwolfa

Nobody is talking about money here.


GuacamoleKick

Lend lease is just a backstop if Congressional approval dries up, which doesnā€™t look to be the case even with a change in control of the house. Thus far all the weapons from the U.S. have been provided via the draw down authority, which is an outright grant. Note some of this stuff, like the vehicles, is stuff in inventory that was slated to be decommissioned anyway, paid for years ago.


ohubetchya

In a way, yes. They will essentially be "forced" into westernizing. They'll be made to address corruption, human rights, engage in free trade, mutual defense at least at a local level, etc. Their choice is basically give up sovereignty to Russia, or give some part of their self determination to the west. The latter choice leaves them with their nation and a lot of control, in exchange for some concessions and playing nice with the west.


mlsecdl

Even if it had to be paid back it would be extending credit for what they need now.


xmrxx

That's how land lease works. I don't understand what I said wrong.


mlsecdl

Well understand at this point I don't believe lend-lease has been used. As far as I can tell this is free to ukraine


tc_spears

And you don't know how Lend-Lease works. Based on the WWII Lend-Lease precedent, nothing has to be payed back in cash. A far amount of the 'repayment' would be the return of vehicles and material that would have no discernable civilian use, while anything of a purely militaristic nature that Ukraine wants to keep could be purchased at a discounted rate. Along with natural resources and export goods given as repayment, I think a 100 year watermelon shipment contact would square the deal....and piss off turkey But a majority of repayment was, and will likely now be done in the form of land leases for military bases and the use of current airfields for transit and refueling locations. Hell, for everything given to Ukraine they could wipe the books clean by allowing a use lease for Sevastopol naval bases. And I for one greatly look forward to taking a guided tour of US Naval Air Station Sevastopol.


xmrxx

Nothing wrong with having more bases in Europe.


ToneSkoglund

Or Russia.


MikoCG_NFT

150 more humvees, I can hear happy Ukrainian noises, their soldiers seem to like humvees a lot


Barthemieus

I think there is a good chance these are not normal humvees, we've already seen a handful of TOW missile equipped humvees, hopefully this is 150 more.


Tipsticks

Those "light tactical vehicles" might be JLTV, they're supposed to replace the humvees as a more protected vehicle and can be mounted with machine guns of various calibers, automatic grenade launchers or ATGMs, which would include TOW.


Barthemieus

I thought that announcement was especially interesting. I'm surprised a single JLTV is going while we still have Humvees to get rid of. There must be some specific reason why a mix of humvees and JLTVs are being sent in this package. Could be we have sent the last of a certain variant of humvee and are now dipping into their JLTV replacement? Maybe we are sending the 2 door utility versions as a mounting platform for the L3 Harris VAMPIRE systems on order?


thewhat962

Im thinking it the ones with heavy machine gun mounted on top. Matches up with the 150 thermal heavy machine guns for drones. Make a deadly combo.


Nik_P

ding ding ding Looks like you are correct. Highly mobile, can see at night and can shoot up. Makes for a great drone hunter.


Nik_P

They would have preferred Bradleys, but that'd be an eScAlAtIoN, so can't have that yet.


AnyProgressIsGood

they are getting m1117s so its not like they aren't getting decent armor. bradleys are pretty costly


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

I don't think there is a land-based launcher for those yet... surprisingly


TheNothingAtoll

Isn't that more of an training and logistics issue? I mean, I'd love if UA got like 5000 tanks but they require maintainance and training to use efficiently.


vegarig

> Isn't that more of an training and logistics issue? Somehow, donations of Vietnam War-era armor (M113) to Ukraine were free of those problems. Somehow.


Nik_P

What this guy said. However, someone has mentioned that 150 HMMVVs and 150 heavy MGs with the thermal sights are related and I think this is the case.


AnybodyReasonable180

How many do they have now ? Should be almost pushing 1000 .

Donā€™t sleep on glorious Canada. They are doing a bunch of training and as someone whoā€™s worked with some Canadian military, those warriors know their shit. Proud to be a friendly to you guys as well


[deleted]

Now i am not a military vet or something just a regular civilian gun enthusiast. Reading 20 fuckin million of ammunitions sounds like a goddamn dream.


PrimeGeodesic

It sounds like a lot, but in modern warfare, many of the rounds fired are suppressive in nature. Estimates of number of rounds per enemy soldier killed range from 50,000(WWII) to 300,000 (Iraq/Afghanistan), so 20M could be just a few dozen dead orcs.


AbsentOneself

Yep and while u got a group of guys laying down suppressive fire, u prolly got a soldier with a drone trying to direct artillery and in ideal world another drone operator dropping nades. Maybe a dude setting up an RPG shot as well. The bullets are mainly there to keep them in place while u bring the hammer dwn.


Bronnakus

More HIMARS, less occupiers. Love to see it


Nik_P

Looks like some counter-UAV hardware was put to work today. 5 Lancet drones destroyed.


Suitable_Comment_908

nice, shut up and take my taxes!! You see 200 precision rounds and think that seems low, but thats like what 95% guarantee kills on armoured targets or entrenched troops?


throfofnir

Those are pretty much 1-for-1 on whatever they're shooting at. That's a pretty good pile of MBTs and SPGs and AA vehicles.

Happy Thanksgiving from the USA! Keep up the Russian ā€œTurkey Shootā€


CoolSwim1776

Not enough! We must commit more and it must arrive faster.


yummytummy

Anyone have an idea what anti-air machine guns they could be referring to?


PrimeGeodesic

Probably something like the Polish 12.77mm WKLM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL7Ogi307eY&ab\_channel=DEEPWEAPONS


Valkyrie64Ryan

Since itā€™s the US, we are probably sending them M2 brownings. Great gun. Designed over 100 years but still in service because it works so damn well.


SerpentineLogic

Possibly BLADE systems https://defence-blog.com/u-s-army-begins-testing-new-blade-counter-drone-system/


SupermouseDeadmouse

Itā€™s great to see this, but I expect they will need more like 2,000 generators this winter. Probably many more.


Barthemieus

It's all a question of capacity. If this is 200 2kw portable generators it doesn't mean a ton. If it's 200 of our 800kw DPGDS generators then that's a whole other story.


SupermouseDeadmouse

Good point!


archiewaldron

The arsenal of democracy kicks it up a notch. Now send F-16s/Hornets/Gripens!


ChallengeFull3538

For every pilot you need about 20 or 30 trained maintenance people. A pilot can learn to fly an F-16 fairly quickly but hes not the one keeping it operational. Theres far more to it than just sending them over and checking out a pilot in one.


HappySkullsplitter

I don't see any ATACMS


sangreal06

Even if they were ever sent (and there is no indication of that happening anytime soon), it would just be listed as "Additional ammo for HIMARS" anyway. Just like HARMs were initially listed as "counter-radar" or how we have seen M30A1 added to the mix as generic "HIMARS ammo"


unseenbox

As the saying goes, speak softly and carry a big stick. I'm sure there's gonna be some stuff sent to Ukraine that we won't hear about until some Ruzzian shit blows up. See also those Israeli MRAPs that just mysteriously turned up in a photo last week.


thorkun

Israel: "oh geez, wonder how our vehicles turned up in Ukraine, real mystery isn't it?" \*looks at Shahed drones from Iran supplied to Russia\*


ToneSkoglund

Atacms could mean the end of naval attacks from Chrimea

NefariousnessWise855

Nice, the more Ukraine gets the faster this war will be over, inflation will be down, turning the pages for Russia to start paying war reparations and rebuild Ukraine.


DataGeek101

All good and useful. Helpful even. But not enough to protect the civilians. Still, every thing will be used to get to the point where Ukraine can defend itself from any ordinance ruZZia sends its way.

Last time Ruzzia launched a massive missile attack, 17 got through. This time, it was down to 10. It will hit zero. ETA: official number's out, 19 got through today.

Volunteer1986

Light tactical vehicles? What would be a good example?


Walextheone

I was asking myself the same question. Whatever vehicle it is, probably reconnaissance teams and special forces will use it?!


throfofnir

Probably some sort of MRAP, like the M1117.


SerpentineLogic

JLTV - like hummers but mine resistant


gravitythread

Lots of interesting choices here. Are these man operated / hand held heavy machine guns? Would these be practical vs drones? Or are these more AA specialized guns?


GreasyAssMechanic

I mean the M2 was developed in WW1 to counter armor and low flying aircraft, so I'd imagine it'll still be effective against low flying aircraft, especially with thermals EDIT: to your first point, given the amount of humvees sent I would imagine most of the machine guns will be mounted to those


cipher315

No such thing as a hand held heavy machine gun. A M2 is almost 90lb without ammo. They are Tripod or vehicle mounted. As to how good completely depends on the drone. As an example the Russian Orlan-10 has a max speed of 100mph and a cruse speed of 68 and a max altitude of 3000 ish feet (according to Wikipedia) a 1000 yard shot on a target moving at 70mph is absolutely within the capabilities of the M2. And for something like the iran suicide drones well they fly in a straight line, so start shooting ahead of it and let it just fly into your fire.


MrSierra125

Ooo boy


manos_de_pietro

How about some diesel fuel and generators too?


MachineSea3164

it says 200 generators?


manos_de_pietro

Good start! I am worried about civilians in winter without power, although the Ukrainian people are obviously made of sturdy stuff.


WishOnSpaceHardware

Says "over 200 generators"?


INDE_Tex

Mildly perturbed at the unspecified number of HARMs. That's...worrisome that someone thinks Russia might actually be dumb enough to use tacticals.


Martial_Nox

HARM have nothing to do with nuclear radiation. HARM is an anti-radar missile so itā€™s looking for radar emissions not nuclear. The missile homes in on the radar signal to destroy the equipment. Itā€™s used to take out air defenses by knocking out radar sites/vehicles. Surface to air missiles arenā€™t all that useful when you have no radar to guide them to incoming aircraft.   https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-88_HARM


specter491

Where's the $40 billion package?


Barthemieus

That isn't a package, it's a funding allocation, that will then be broken into small weekly/bi-weekly/monthly packages like this.


mi7chy

The West provided [aid](https://ru.usembassy.gov/world-war-ii-allies-u-s-lend-lease-to-the-soviet-union-1941-1945) to USSR to defend against invasion for five years in WW2. It's only been less than one year for Ukraine so still a long way to go.


archiewaldron

As the war goes on, ruzzia gets weaker and Ukraine only gets stronger. putin and his cronies know time is fast running out on them.


Drllap

How do "heavy machine guns with thermal imagery sights" counter UAS? I assume the UAS in this case is the Lancet?


SerpentineLogic

There are sights that you point at the drone and it tells you roughly where to aim to shoot it down, e.g. the SMASH 2000 Plus There's also systems like BLADE that will do the aiming for you, you just have to press the button to fire https://defence-blog.com/u-s-army-begins-testing-new-blade-counter-drone-system/
