Denmark is sending its “entire artillery” to Ukraine, the Danish prime minister has said.
“They are asking us for ammunition now. Artillery now. From the Danish side, we decided to donate our entire artillery,” she said.
- Send all of the batteries and munitions to Ukraine
- Cry about how the country’s defenseless
- Buy mostly American mixed in with some German to shore up this weakness
- Indebted government
- No money for social services
The neolib-neocon reunification, a third way if you will.
If you thought Russia was about to invade Europe, would you really send your entire artillery to a military that has almost zero chance of success in the week of yet another of its rather catastrophic losses?
Quick, the Danes are defenseless!
Please liberate us!
Honestly a good time for Greenland to declare independence unilaterally
It’ll be funny to find out that Greenland has been lobbying Denmark to empty its military warehouses, only to declare independence when Denmark has no ammunition to do anything about it.
Just to see if you can sneak in a little more death send destruction before the bell
Goddamn, our country is such a shill
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark
and it’s not just the fish
By “entire artillery” they mean 19 Caesar guns they have.
They’re also sending 20-30 feral hogs
That’s still 19 too many
9/10 Danish politicians agree with this statement.
I do support disarmament of NATO too.
Incredibly cucked behavior
In a shoebox?
In return, Ukraine is about to donate them their entire infantry
Blood for the blood god
Russia will blow it all up with some drones… thanks for playing Denmark
What is the point of artillery when there’s nobody left to launch it?
There are undesired ethnic groups to be genocided and you’re cracking jokes?
The article mentions that Denmark and Czech republic can send 1.6 million artillery shells “if the funding is found”. Assuming somehow that all these shells actually make it, how significant of a development is it? Russia is currently firing 10k shells per day, so with this delivery, Ukraine could match Russian artillery for 160 days. Would they even have the manpower to launch artillery at that scale?
I’d wonder where they would even be able to procure that many shells from tbh.
And if they exist why they haven’t already been bought.
Would they even have the manpower to launch artillery at that scale?
Narrator’s Voiceover: “No, they do not.”
This is a significant number, the US delivered 2 million shells in the first year and a half of the proxy war.
1.6 million would be about a year and a half’s worth of US based production, but only once they hit a rate of 80,000 shells per month by late 2024. At 2023 production rates of 25,000 shells per month that delivery would take over five years. With Russian production at 300,000 per month minimum (based on your statement of Russian forces firing 10k per day), that’s a lot of work the west has got to do to even catch up.
I have to assume US arms production, as poor as it is, outperforms European production by a significant margin, so the 1.5-5 year time frame for US sourced shells could easily be doubled for EU sourced ones, or they just dig even further into the stockpiles.
Even if they could match them fire for fire, what’s the point when they don’t have the troops to make a breakthrough? What do you do at that point, just spend 160 more days delaying the inevitable?
…Actually now that I think of it, is it an election year in Denmark or something?
Thanks guys, those 6 howitzers will really turn the tide
Holy shit Denmark is sending both?
