and equip them with what?

In the kind of timeframe required to mobilise manpower in the millions they could scale up production of small arms, etc. though there generally seems to be a lack of joined up thinking and slowness in scaling up so far but the trajectory increasingly leans the way of iteratively ramping up the war effort. They'll likely switch to production of a more cost effective, simpler, version of the AK-12 before too long if things continue down the current road.

Then if you factor in for every man killed outright, then as a rule of thumb you can usually multiply that by 2 or 3 times for wounded, many of whom will never be able to fight, or do much else again for that matter.

Does Russian pay to support these wounded men for rest their life if they can’t work ?

Its definitely not making the Poles nervy. They're looking for any old excuse.

if either Russia or Belarus are stupid enough to even sniff in the direction of Poland they would find themselves flattened in no time.

imo Poland are just looking for an excuse to get involved

What Ukraine needs right now is a good number of self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles similar to the Gepard, modernised version of the CVR-T with ultra low ground pressure for infantry support/transport/rapid engagement and a bunch of like K1A1 or Leopard 2 or similar tanks. Stuff like above is mostly just feeding into a war of attrition.

They’ll be better armed than some nato countries at this rate.

Unknown amount = whatever you need and we can produce I suspect.

Good to hear this from Senate Republicans. Lets hope the House Republicans don't turn of the tap off in the new session.

That mad bitch MTG has already said that when the house changes in January Ukraine won't get another penny.

Whether she has the ability to do that or not I don't know.

Maybe the military budget is out of the houses control but if not Ukraine may not get any more support from America.

It won't need many Republican to vote for additional funding to defeat the MTG crowd. Democrats will support Ukraine.
