Ukraine’s F-16 fighter jets were spotted equipped with advanced targeting pods that allow the integration of laser-guided weapons—including the US-made APKWS II precision rocket system, which enables far more cost-effective engagements against drones. A photo of the upgraded jet was published by the Telegram channel Avia OFN on December 4.

These pods are essential: without them, Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) II rockets cannot be employed. The system has emerged as one of the most affordable and effective ways to destroy drones, avoiding the high cost of expending traditional air-to-air missiles.

Of course birth rates fall during wartime. And they usually also explode afterwards, at least in the short term - hence the baby boom in the U.S. and Europe post-WW2. Having kids puts you in a precarious position -logistically, financially, emotionally. It's natural for people to defer this during an existential war of survival.

And even the pre-war state of ukraine, with it's terrible neighbor's corrosive meddling and the apparently well-foudned fear of an eventual invasion hanging over people's heads would create uncertainty that would make you think twice about having kids.

The template for a post-war Ukraine is the same as Poland, Romania & Czechoslovakia's. Namely - integration to the EU and NATO produce sovriegn stability and economic growth. But - as history also shows - economic growth leads to falling long term birth rates, everywhere it's happened. Lots of factors there - economic activity makes people chase opportunity, women have more control of working and reproductive rights, you don't need to have 12 children, expecting half of them to survive, to pick potatoes on the farm.

Point being - this war is like a national divorce. One that has been 1,000 abusive years in coming. Ukraine is not going to be the same as it was before. And neither is Russia. But that's okay. If Ukraine can survive the war, integrate with the EU and NATO, and Russia fucks off into it's murky, corrupt, increasingly irrelenvant future too focused on it's own internal squabbles to spend resources murdering it's neighbours - then Ukraine's new form will, like all the former Eastern bloc colonies, be prosperous and free.

This is a good video on the M1117 being supplied to Ukraine, a somewhat drab looking armored vehicle that is easy to overlook given how it looks pretty much like any other wheeled armored vehicle, but there is more than meets the eye here. This is one of the finest armored vehicles ever made, Greece and the US each field more than 1000 of these vehicles in mostly military security contexts (i.e. units patrolling large areas and protecting bases and infrastructure).

I suspect the M1117 is nearly the ideal vehicle Ukraine needs at this moment other than Patria type traditional APCs. The M1117 was overshadowed by the rapid development of MRAPs in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars in the 2000s (The MaxxPro being one such vehicle that ended up being extremely effective in Ukraine), but not because the M1117 was ineffective, rather a large reason the vehicle did not play a more prominent role earlier in the conflicts as a mine resistant more survivable replacement to using Humvees on patrol was because Hurricane Katrina heavily damaged the production plant in 2005. However as production ramped up late in the 2000s the M1117 quietly became a vital armored vehicle in a variety of mission contexts.

Note how the 13,000kg/29,560 lb vehicle is so easy to drive the armor crewman just straight up tells the youtube video maker to jump in and drive the thing lol. I honestly think these might end up being one of the most successful, future proof armored vehicle designs, period not because of how cutting edge advanced these are or because they are unstoppable armored assault vehicles but because of how much clarity in design the M1117 has for what the actual threats and labors of extended conflicts end up being. This isn't an F35 fighter jet, there is a damn crank for the turret on the M1117 with bearings painted on the hull for old school fire support, it was designed by people that genuinely expected it to be shoved into a corner and neglected for decades and then pulled out in a panic and have it still function. This is the properly armored wheeled Russian scout vehicle that Russia never managed to actually make. I am glad Ukraine is getting these and I hope they get many many many many more!

The US Army Contracting Command in Detroit announced plans for a three-year sole-source contract with Textron to manufacture 65 MSFVs, along with a full year’s supply of spare parts.

The deal will be funded through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), a program designed to equip Kyiv with advanced weaponry, training, and support.

The Mobile Strike Force Vehicle (MSFV) is an advanced variant of the M1117 Armored Security Vehicle (ASV), originally developed by Textron Marine & Land Systems in cooperation with the US Army for the Afghan National Army. Its design includes a hull extended by approximately 0.6 meters, enlarged wheels with revised axles, and a higher ground clearance, significantly improving survivability against mines and improvised explosive devices while retaining the original V-shaped underbody. Production of the MSFV began in 2011, when the first 18 units were delivered to Afghanistan, and by 2013 orders had reached a cumulative total of 634 vehicles, including full-rate production lots and option awards. Components for the Afghan program were sourced in part from seven Canadian suppliers, with integration completed at Textron’s facilities in Louisiana. Deliveries concluded in 2014, but production is now set to restart for Ukraine after being dormant since 2019.
