This is what Russia supposedly asked China for with regard to military aid?

How humiliating. and reminds me of something I dismissed as rumour that PLA attachés observed the war in UA and was surprised by Russia's lack of logistic supports and surveillance/strike drones. https://t.co/IxquClCd9m

Interesting.

I'm surprised by the request for drones but maybe they're doing the "technological" leap thing and pushing for the loyal wingman to pair with the SU-57 while taking a bit of risk to get there.

Surface to Air Missiles?  Total shock on this one.  Gives a bit of credence to Ukrainian claims of capturing quite a few of them.

Armored vehicles?  This is borderline shocking.  The Chinese have embarked on their own versions of MBTs, IFVs, APCs, etc.  If they're going for the Chinese version of the JLTV then that would also kinda fall into that category.

I'm betting whoever is running some of those design bureaus in Russia are trying to find the deepest darkest hole possible to hide in.

Putin will soon enough get around to them and it won't end well.
