Many Targets.

Now 404 naturally wants... ships. Yes, they demand ships from NATO countries. They want modern ships, no less. 

МОСКВА, 2 июл – РИА Новости. Украина рассчитывает получить от западных партнеров военные корабли мощностью и потенциалом, рассчитанные на службу в 10-15 лет на высоком техническом уровне, заявил командующий военно-морских сил страны вице-адмирал Алексей Неижпапа. "Я, как командующий, конечно, многого ожидаю (от западных партнеров – ред.) и хотел бы иметь больше современных кораблей... Конечно, строительство новых кораблей – это достаточно длительный процесс. В то же время есть планы на получение некоторых кораблей, которые имеют мощности и потенциал и способны служить в военно-морских силах еще 10-15 лет на высоком техническом уровне", - сказал Неижпапа в интервью онлайн-медиа ресурсу минобороны Украины "АрмияInform". 

Translation: MOSCOW, July 2 - RIA Novosti. Ukraine expects to receive warships from Western partners with the capacity and potential, designed to serve 10-15 years at a high technical level, said Vice Admiral Oleksiy Neizhpapa, Commander of the country's naval forces. "As a commander, of course, I expect a lot (from Western partners - ed.) and would like to have more modern ships ... Of course, building new ships is a rather lengthy process. At the same time, there are plans to receive some ships, who have the power and potential and are able to serve in the naval forces for another 10-15 years at a high technical level," Neizhpapa said in an interview with the online media resource of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry "ArmiyaInform".

Russian Black Sea Fleet eagerly rubs its hands--hey, they haven't sunk anything from 404 in a long time. Now. What can possibly NATO "give" Ukraine, assuming it exists by then. Goes without saying--OLD stuff. Maybe some mothballed Oliver H. Perry FFGs, or Type 42 frigates of Royal Navy. Remember HMS Sheffield? Yep, that's the class of ships. Here is HMS Birmingham. 

Of course, there is always a possibility for the US Navy to unload the preposterous Zumwalt class onto 404.

But that will ensure that SMO will end up much faster because the old naval truism that if you want to bankrupt a country give it a dreadnought (battleship, aircraft carrier etc.) remains as relevant as ever. Especially for 404 which doesn't have real economy anymore. But, hey, this is one of the ways to write off the stupidest class of ships I, personally, ever saw in my life. For $4.24 billion a pop, no less. Don't thank me. 

Meanwhile "the second phase" of Ukie "counteroffensive" starts and we may see, at some point of time, vaunted UK Challengers burning in the fields of Russia. All this while France is being flushed down the drain and shit is now hitting the fan in Belgium and Switzerland. Ah, this is just the start--as the European economies tank, things will get even more violent and as Viktor Orban noted, correctly:

"We are ahead of times when weak nations will disappear and strong ones will survive, therefore we must strengthen our defence lines and law-enforcement organisations every day," Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said at the National Public Service University's inauguration ceremony of young police officers on Saturday

France is not a strong nation. Its culture has been utterly corrupted by its so called "intellectuals" and upper-class. The fact that Marine surges in polls now means nothing--French continued to elect their downfall administrators for years. Well, I warned about it.
