Pakistan sends 159 (!) containers of ammunition to Ukraine

It is a very welcome surprise that Pakistan joins the fight for a free world against imperialist dictator , czar pootler . Thank you Pakistan, we (the Free Men ) will not forget.

or both ? still, is it about helping Ukraine, or against India ? or both ? Pakistan and India don't like each other. While India isn't supporting The horde , it also isn't condemning it, probably because trade reasons.

Expect more funding for "Gender Studies" in Pakistan.

Both India and Pakistan get foreign aid money off the UK, yet they have a space program, and are now sending bullets to Ukraine? I would like to see if both countries could muster together a container full of soap.

Is Russia running out of ammunition?

Many of its shells are probably older than the conscripts firing them

Burning through ammo, Russia using 40-year-old rounds, U.S. official says

Russia is turning to decades-old ammunition with high failure rates as it burns through its stockpiles to carry out its nearly 10-month-old invasion of Ukraine, a senior U.S. military official said on Monday.

As you say, there has to be some angle here, more money from the U.S. perhaps, and I'm wondering if there is some incentive in killing that faction of the Muslim horde that Putin has employed in Ukraine, perhaps competing ideologies or bad blood between they and Pakistan.

English version: showing Pakistan army chief at Sandhurst and dates on munitions with type of fuse.

Pakistan has rejected Russia's requests for artillery munitions without consequence as Putin is too busy scrambling around for artillery munitions and missiles plus drones too. It turns out it's the Brits who are in the middle of this ha.

The dates of delivery shown in the graphic extend beyond those provided.

There's a third party supply train to provide artillery munitions to Ukraine to include at one point some from Iran, according to India Intelligence. Pakistan continues to provide artillery munitions to include the 159 crates announced the other day for shipment to Ukraine via Poland on UK RAF C-17 cargo transports.

US & UK are working Islamabad to transfer to Ukraine the 360 tanks Ukraine manufactured for 'em 20 years ago, the T-80D Main Battle Tank most of which need some repair. Pakistan however wants instead for Turkey to transfer an undisclosed number of its own Atlay MBT. The current deal of 159 crates however includes Ukraine upgrading the T-80D tanks in return, ostensibly for Pakistan. Reading between the lines can be helpful here too.

Moreover, an India military officers association says the UK, Pak & US are running a system of munitions deliveries to Ukraine using foreign contractors and suppliers in several foreign countries, none of which are identified to us. I'd bet Putin who knows is tearing his few hairs out.

Russia did something to Turkey recently....I think sinking some of their ships at sea or something else like that. It's kinda soured their relationship with Russia and Putin of late even though they used to be the Western-Russian-Middle Eastern intermediary. Where Western interests from USA and Europe could go to start dialogs with Russia or Arabic nations that created peaceful negotiations.....

And now the Tukeys are pissed off at Russia....especially after the Earthquake and the lack of help but plenty of hindrances to their rebuilding.

India and PRC and Pakistan have all been battling each other with minor squabbles over international lines including the Cashmere region of Afghanistan. (As if it didn't belong to Afghanistan....but it's out of reach for the Taliban government.

That being said....they all (except for PRC) are united in keeping Russia contained. PRC would like to see Russia essentially destroyed so they can pick up the pieces of real estate and resources they can't afford to protect.

Russia is currently relying upon the PRC yuan for international business contracts. It's what's holding up their Ruble....
