Die Tschechen schlagen (erneut) Alarm bezüglich der fehlenden Munition:

With Ukraine in desperate need of new stocks of ammunition to feed its prodigious use of artillery, the Czech Republic has reportedly called on its European allies to cast the net wider and look for suitable munitions outside of the European Union.

According to a report today from Politico, Europe “is falling way short on its pledge to send one million artillery shells to Ukraine by March.”

Instead, the European Union will deliver 524,000 shells to Ukraine by March, with a total of 1.1 million promised by the end of the year.

In response, Czech officials say they are trying to encourage other European countries to buy around 450,000 rounds of artillery from outside the bloc. Possible sources could include South Africa, South Korea, and Turkey.

Die Tschechen überlegen zudem die L-39NG für die Ukraine einzusetzen:

Was ich gar nicht wusste ist, dass die Ukrainer den Vorgänger die L-39 bereits genutzt haben.

The L-39NG can also be used as a light combat aircraft against ground targets and aerial, slow and low-flying targets such as drones, which attack far inside Ukrainian territory and against which, among other things, very expensive missile systems are used today. A reconnaissance version with the right sensors further expands the aircraft's use for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and is usable, for example, for patrolling areas near borders. In addition, the aircraft has the ability to react quickly and has unrivalled endurance and operational range. It can also be used against larger unmanned aerial vehicles, which have been used extensively in combat against Ukraine.

The aircraft does not need paved airfields, and is capable of landing and taking off from unpaved surfaces such as grass airfields.
