Biden needs to green-light the Ukrainian use of western weapons on targets inside Russia. The US is still tying Ukraine's hands in the third year of this war! If Russia didn't want to be shot at, they should not have invaded. This has gone on for much too long.
How dare Ukrainians not want to checks notes be genocided by their much larger neighbor!
SK has mostly kept from supplying Ukraine. Closest they have gotten is selling shells to the US to open up more US shells to go to Ukraine. I could see SK changing their stance about supplying Ukraine over this.
Yep! Basically everyone is up with the exception of Russia and Switzerland. Russia has no spare capacity for exports and Switzerland immolated their military sector when they informed their partners they cannot send Swiss military equipment to war.
Perun did a great video on this: Global Arms Exports - Winners, losers & trends in the race to rearm
There are jobs that take weeks to learn, jobs that take years to learn, and there are even jobs that take a decade+ to learn. You ain’t putting the three-week old newbie in the latter two roles.

Well, I'm not confident enough to say Ukraine is winning, but Russia sure as fuck isn't either.
It amazes me at the start of the war, me and just about everyone else thought Russia had this in the bag. Crimean invasion 2.0. Now Russia is struggling to dislodge Ukrainians from Russian territory and shit deep inside Russia blows up on the regular.
I'm damn happy to support Ukraine and am doubly happy my government is supporting them as well.
My guess is they will be compartmentalized to their own unit(s), with dual speakers coordinating with Russian units/leadership. Though, like you say, there probably aren't very many of those, so these units will be particularly at risk if their rare dual speaker gets taken out. They could probably mitigate this a bit by having dual speakers in safer locations one tier up the command chain.
This all assumes they will be in front-line roles. It is possible they will get assigned to safer duties, freeing up Russian soldiers to go to the front.
It's good these are being made. One of the big downsides of the traditional cruise missile are they are expensive. Which means making them at industrial scale burns though quite a few resources. In many cases, having 10x-20x lower capability drones will do the job better.
Obviously you still want the high-capability cruise missiles for more difficult targets. But it's very good the west is producing the cheaper ones in volume too!
This is really more of a !asklemmy@lemmy.ml question. But, to answer it, no, you will need a friend willing to trade with you or an exchange service to do an exchange. Side note, they want ID info from you because there are tax implications when you sell capital goods. After a threshold, they report those capital sales to your government's tax office.

Woof. As a point of comparison, the average salary in the US is $59k.
Jump over to PC and choose both 140fps and quality. ;p
I'm at least happy we are past the era of 'the human eye can only see 30fps'.
