Ukraine MoD
A portion of the M2 Bradleys promised to Ukraine in January have arrived in the country, the Pentagon told The War Zone Tuesday morning.
“Yes, we can confirm that a portion of Bradleys have arrived,” Army Maj. Charlie Dietz, a Pentagon spokesman, told The War Zone. Though we have been asking the Pentagon for months about the Bradleys, the official confirmation came after the Ukrainian MoD on Monday tweeted out photos of the Bradleys painted in that nation’s digital camouflage.

The goal of this list is to comprehensively catalogue Sudan’s
current inventory of vehicles and equipment. In an effort to streamline
the list and avoid unnecessary confusion, trucks, technicals and jeeps are not included in the list. Vehicles offered for sale by Sudan’s Military Industry Corporation (MIC) that aren’t service with the Sudanese Armed Forces are not included in this list. If several
configurations of a vehicle with one designation are known, they are
added as such.
By December 1944, the momentum of World War II was clearly in the Allies’ favor. The new front in Europe, opened on D-Day, was costly. But Germany was losing on all three fronts. Still, it reportedly took the appearance of P-51s with paper mache drop tanks to drive home the point to German leaders.
Italy was essentially lost, with German troops holding a small sliver of the northernmost territory. Russia was roaring back across the oil fields of eastern Europe, cutting Germany off from vital fuel sources. And American, Canadian and British forces were pushing for the German border.
In today’s lingo, “short kings” are an “undertall” gentleman with swag, a man who wouldn’t be considered “tall” but knows his self-worth isn’t attached to his height and acts appropriately. Boxer Manny Pacquiao and soccer’s GOAT Lionel Messi are all under 5’7”. Finnish soldier and deadliest sniper ever Simo Häyhä stood at 5’3”. All can all be referred to as “Short Kings.”
Knowing this, it might seem odd that the British Army in World War I would be turning away anyone, let alone the small and mighty.
