Hawk air-defence systems, the ones the Americans stopped using 20 years ago. The Yanks are dusting off 4 converted pick-ups: Avenger = Stinger from the back of a pick-up. Range 5km! - to add to Ukraine's credit card bill. However, they need to refurbish the Hawk missiles (because they don't work anymore). As yet the US hasn't even arranged a contract for a company to do the repairs! So, likely to arrive sometime next year.. All these systems - Hawk, Avenger, NASAM, etc are way below the capabilities of the S300s Ukraine has lost, and which weren't enough anyway.
Enough 155mm rounds to last 3.5 days and 1.75 days of 120mm rounds! Humvees, designed for desert warfare! Note no quantity given for HIMARS missiles!
The US admits it can't keep up with the UA loss rate. However, Russia had 6 years to stockpile ammunition, and supply is from NEXT DOOR! Russia is starting to deploy an extra 318,000 mobilized troops, 80,000 new volunteers, has another 10,000 waiting in Belarus, has 900 aircraft parked just inside Russia. Where are Ukraine's reinforcements?
The demilitarization continues with another big score yesterday!

Having found out what happens when they do try to counter attack, the UA needed to go back to the excuse for a delay of 'the ground is too soggy'. How could they do that?
Typical lying Ukrainians! 11 sections of the power plant dam may be destroyed NOW, which would require a lot of explosives. However, early footage showed that only a small section was damaged, and the rest has been done by the water.
Why would Russia cut off the water supply to ZNPP, the water supply to Crimea and flood the defences they have just built?
Russia is already defeating the 'Ukrainian counter offensive' - they didn't need this!
