Yep. I think the Chiefs take it. Strong forwards and a more potent 9-10 combo to make things happen with the possession they get.

Italy's new aid package main component is 400 M113s plus some sort of satellite survelliance system. Dated sure but still great for wounded evacuation and resupply and all the other necessary tasks.

Saw that. For some reason Ukraine has been upping the ante on Crimea over the last week. Numerous strikes on air defences there. Is there something more or are they simply playing whack-a-mole with focuses on different areas to keep the air defense resources on the hop.

April artillery losses high but not as high as March as claimed by Ukraine, 1,539 units. Nevertheless, effectively 3 months in a row of record artillery losses now.

The US is still selling arms to Ukraine through non-publicly announced channels, Ukraine just bought $50 million of kit. So hopefully the situation pans out as a not-complete-disaster.
