Ukrainan konflikti/sota

Marin ei uskalla tehdä näin isoa päätöstä itse koska hän ei uskalla oikeastaan tehdä mitään päätöksiä itse. Marinin "johtaminen" on sitä että automaattinuijii EU:n/presidentin/eduskunnan tahtoa eteenpäin.
Haavisto pohtii jo presidenttivaaleja, ja on jo kertaalleen pelannut "siirrän konstailevan konsulipäällikön syrjään"-kortin, joten ei oikein voi Tanneriakaan vaihtaa.
Tanner otettiin pestiin vetämään "rajat auki"-linjaa ja jatkaa sitä uskollisena.
Supo ... no, heilläkin vihreät esimiehet. Turvallisuusulostulot toisi toimenpidepaineita esimiehille jotka ei tunnu haluavan toimenpidepaineita itselleen.

Kaikki ringissä vihjaa että juujuukylläkyllä kunhan joku muu tekee aloitteen.

Supo ei ole uskaltanut olla julkisesti enää mitään mieltä sen jälkeen, kun Käteinen ministerinä erotutti sen yhden Supolaisen, joka julkesi olla julkisesti eri mieltä kuin hän.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers is pushing the Pentagon to expedite a monthslong review aimed at determining whether the United States should send its MQ-1C Gray Eagle drones to Ukraine.

Seventeen House Democrats and Republicans on Thursday sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, pressing him to expedite an ongoing risk assessment to determine whether transferring the technology poses a risk should it fall into Russian hands.

“There continue to be delays in delivering Gray Eagle systems to Ukraine despite urgent requests from Ukraine’s Minister of Defense Oleksii Reznikov and ambassador to the U.S. Oksana Markarova,” the lawmakers wrote. “While important, thorough risk assessments and mitigation should not come at the expense of Ukrainian lives.”

Defense firm L3Harris Technologies says it bought back and cannibalized its own radios to meet customer demands amid shortages of computer chips and some components.

The company and others across multiple sectors have been hampered by a semiconductor shortage that stretches back nearly two years. Industry executives said they expect supply chain challenges to last longer than originally anticipated and that the chip shortage will drag into mid-2023 or beyond — potentially forcing businesses to get creative.

Speaking at a Morgan Stanley event last week, L3Harris Chief Financial Officer Michelle Turner said a “big-name chip supplier” she did not identify wasn’t able to meet her firm’s demand heading into the fiscal quarter that began in July. That forced the company to find circuits, called field-programmable gate arrays, from an unusual source.

“We went to one of our customers, where we knew they were disposing of some old radios. We took those radios back, we broke them down. We’re using the [field-programmable gate arrays] within those radios to rebuild them into the current formation, to be able to meet the demand and deliver,” Turner said.

L3Harris, also known for making intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance gear; avionics; and night vision equipment, considers the chip shortage “an acute pain point,” Turner said. Wider supply problems, she said, have forced the company to stockpile products in its supply chain to ensure it can ship its wares quickly, she told the Morgan Stanley conference.

The chief executive of America’s No. 2 defense firm Raytheon Technologies, said microchips could continue to be scarce beyond mid-2023.

“We’re working with our distributors ― and it is just a day-to-day challenge,” Greg Hayes said Sept. 14 at the Morgan Stanley event. “We don’t see that rectifying itself until probably sometime in the middle of next year if we’re lucky, and as people are bringing on more capacity.”

“We’ve all talked about electronics, chips. We remain hand-to-mouth just like everybody else. We are seeing some stabilization, I would tell you, in the supply chain there,” he added.

Defense officials said earlier this year production of Raytheon’s Javelin and Stinger missiles, a key part of U.S. aid for Ukraine in its fight against Russia, has been hamstrung by persistent semiconductor manufacturing delays. The Javelin anti-tank weapon is made by a joint venture with Lockheed Martin.

Even hundreds of thousands of newly conscripted soldiers will not fix the logistics and sustainment problems that have dogged Russian forces since they invaded Ukraine in February and likely will exacerbate an already moribund military force, according to a Pentagon spokesperson.

Calling up thousands of reservists is one way to address a lack of personnel, but it will take time and is unlikely to immediately affect the war, Air Force Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said during a press conference at the Pentagon on Sept. 22.

“It's our assessment that it would take time for Russia to train and prepare and equip these forces,” Ryder said. “And I think it's important also to point out here that while in many ways this may address a manpower issue for Russia, what's not clear is whether or not it could significantly address the command and control the logistics the sustainment, and importantly, the morale issues that we've seen Russian forces in Ukraine experience.”

Ukraine Situation Report: Conscripts Won't Solve Russian Army's Systemic Problems, Pentagon Says

300,000 soldiers may patch holes in Russia's lines but won't fix the logistics and morale nightmares that have plagued its forces in Ukraine.

“If you are already having significant challenges and haven’t addressed some of those systemic, strategic issues that make any large military force capable, there is nothing to indicate that it's going to get any easier by adding more variables to the equation,” Ryder added.

Asked how long it would take Russia to adequately train and equip an army of conscripts before sending them to Ukraine, Ryder joked that he has “never been in the Russian military.”

“I don't plan to ever be in the Russian military, so I'm not going to speak for them,” he said. “But I think we've seen some of the systemic challenges that they have in their force. And I think they will have their work cut out.”

Bakhti Nishanov, with the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, said ethnic minorities from far-flung Russian republics are being “mobilized in disproportionately large numbers” and likely being deployed as “cannon fodder."

Sam Greene, Director of Democratic Resilience at The Center for European Policy Analysis, agreed, saying that most evidence of the current conscription campaign, even if anecdotal, is that it is “falling hardest on the communities already hardest hit by the war, particularly ethnic minorities.”
