Over three years into the war and they finally figure it out. I have found out about my country's shipments, when they have shown up on videos taken inside Ukraine.

Well, as much as some won't admit it - there is a new sheriff in town and he and his people have functioning brains.

Foreign flagged vessels would blockaded from approaching China. Ships departing would probably be allowed a one time pass but intercepted and inspected before or at arrival. Chinese flagged ships would be seized or sunk.
You could argue the legality of all this if you feel like it. But history shows that when the full balloon goes up, the USN operates on a maximum FAFO doctrine in regards to merchant marine activity.

China has a lot to consider. If hostilities begin, the Straits Malacca and Hormuz would definitely be closed. If China thought it felt pain over some US tariffs and cancelled Amazon orders, wait until ALL trade is blocked and no oil or food are allowed in.

You would want 30-40mm AAA for that purpose, something that has room for explosive filler (fragmentation) and a proximity + self-destruct fuse so it doesn't end up in the next oblast. Also range + trajectory. Many of these guns were sent to the scrappers in the '90s because they were made "redundant" by things like Patriot, Hawk and Stinger. Really loads of money had to be cut and many crewed guns cost more than a single battery of SAMs to cover an entire country at the end of history.
Russia never scrapped anything which is highly beneficial in a war of industry.

On that note:

Sadly it would take many years to provide Ukraine with enough with an annual output of no doubt less than 25
In WW2 over 50,000 Bofors guns were produced and it's not like they didn't have countless competing priorities back then ...

Also these had proximity fuses and able to detect Shahed at night.
The US has also transferred around 2,000 Stinger missiles to Ukraine, which officials estimated to be equivalent to two-and-a-half years of production, and is increasingly used by the US military for its own defense purposes against hostile drones, the people said.
Good fair article. Details Hegseth's advise to stop supplies. Which he signed off.

The drone war in Ukraine is actively developing. The video shows an attack by a Russian FPV drone on a Ukrainian remotely controlled robotic platform delivering cargo. The video was filmed near Seversk in the Donbass. It also shows attacks by Russian drones on other Ukrainian tracked platforms. The drone models are not reported.

That's all of no interest for Xi.
New World Order that's their goal since now nearly 40 years.
Was a bad bad decision to give them tech.

Can't quote but at Russias FPV thank Western managers for that.
Otherwise Russias evil supplier China could only help out with bicycles and men.
They didn't even have suitable marine engines now their fleets are powered by German diesel.
Then the scores of Chinese students getting idiotic free education in Germany for example.
Just to use hat knowledge to build a ballistic missile to fire at us fools.

Today, as Donald Trump calls out Vladimir Putin’s “bullshit” and appears to back fresh US sanctions on Russia, we read between the lines of President Macron’s address to the British parliament, and get an update on the so-called ‘Coalition of the Willing’.

Today, there is big news from the Russian Federation. Here, Ukrainian forces executed a series of precision strikes aimed at critically undermining Russia’s air strike capabilities, delivering powerful blows to several strategically significant Russian airfields and ammunition storages. By limiting Russian air power, the Ukrainians aim to leave the Russian ground forces without fire support and make their attacks much more vulnerable.One of the most impactful attacks occurred at the Borisoglebsk airfield in Russia’s Voronezh region. Ukrainian forces struck the airbase, home to advanced Russian jets including Su 34, Su 35S, and Su 30SM aircraft. The attack resulted in massive fires, destroying a critical depot containing KAB guided aerial bombs and severely damaging at least one combat training jet, with likely several more jets destroyed as well. Damage assessments are ongoing, but preliminary reports suggest substantial impairment of offensive Russian aerial capabilities.Another successful strike targeted the Khalino airbase in Russia’s Kursk region. Ukrainian munitions precisely hit a storage facility housing aerial bombs and missiles, destroying a Russian Pantsir-S1 air defense system guarding the site as well. Ukrainian intelligence also coordinated a devastating strike against the Russian 1060th Logistics Support Center in the Bryansk region, triggering extensive fires and secondary detonations. This destroyed several Russian munition depots full of rocket fuel, lubricants, and air-launched missiles and bombs.
Russian specialists from the Bars-Sarmat Center conducted a high-quality detailed technical inspection of the captured unmanned boat of the Ukrainian army. The Ukrainian sea drone is based on a Mexican-made jet ski. It was launched from the Odessa region and was moving towards Crimea. The second part of the video is an inspection of the satellite navigation system. The sea drone reportedly has a range of up to 400 km, at a speed of up to 90 kilometers per hour, and a warhead of 150 kilograms of explosives.
Footage of the strike of a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile on a Ukrainian hangar near the settlement of Baratovka in the Nikolaev region of Ukraine. The hangar was used by the 35th separate marine brigade of Ukraine. Judging by the video, an Iskander-M missile with an air burst and a shrapnel warhead was used. Note the colossal amount of fragments; all objects within the radius of the missile explosion are damaged.
