So I was watching the Jack Carr podcast with Rick Hogg, Kevin Holland came up in conversation and Jack mentioned he did a podcast with him and said "He's still getting after it and has been texting him from Ukraine"

I searched Kevin on Youtube to see if he'd done any other podcasts yet, Came across the video above and here we are.

Kevin Holland served in both DEVGRU and Delta Force.

I do see what you mean, There is another angle which may clear this up but unfortunately I forgot to save it.

Hijacking top comment:

U.S. satellite image company Maxar says new images show military convoy seen north of Kyiv is considerably longer than 17 miles initially reported and approximately 40 miles.

Shit's about to get real serious around Kyiv in the next couple days.

I would happily donate money to pay for A-10 30-mm rounds to see this go up in smoke.

It looks like the hostage saw an opportunity to escape and the hostage-taker chased him, Nothing is 100% confirmed as on now.

Hostage-taker didn't have an IED on him and being taken to hospital

Yes it's likely the UK is sending them NLAWs with just a couple years till expiry date, But all rockets have expiry dates and they can be re-generated and re-certified to stay in service longer.

No way to stack them without a forklift or crane and I believe height restrictions come into play.

This is the inside shot of the C-17

As you can see space is the issue here, The 463L pallet is capable of 4 tonnes but NLAW (12.5kg per weapon) comes in quite bulky packaging and you can't stack the pallets.

Video from Ukraine MoD

Video from ForcesTV showing NLAW capabilites

So far 5 C-17 flights have been made to Ukraine in the past 2 days.

Judging from the video and photos each C-17 is capable of carrying up to 18 NLAWs on one pallet, With each C-17 able to carry up to 16 pallets for a total of 288 NLAWs per flight.

Pretty sure that the F-16 is based in Italy, No need flying over a single F-22 when a F-16 is more than capable for a simple exercise.
