Are you in the signal med aid chat?

It’s a similar style to the cat7 in that it’s a one handed application with Velcro and plastic windlass. We shipped some SoF Ts for mud season as they don’t rely on Velcro but are a two handed application. Medics prefer them when the risk of the Velcro getting gummed up is high

So advertising made in the U.S. and that we only ship aid helps us a lot. Traveling colonels can beat our ifak price by $18 using a hybrid of U.S. items and in country items and we’re pretty damn cheap.

Dnipro2s make a decent alternative to cat7s at $15 usd. Some groups will accept them, some only want cat7s. I’ve seen evidence for both. It’s a major discussion point on the signal forums. We push made in the US certified stop the bleed. Older conservatives have been a major donor stream for us

Yes, it a fast acting clotting agent. It uses clay and is made in Ukraine. It has a tendency to crumble and ages poorly, but you can put 17 of them to the zero line in place of one QuikClot.

We rarely send QuikClot unless an ifak build specifies it. Krovopas is so much cheaper and widely available in Ukraine. Chest seals and cat7s are the major movers.

We can ship out items to anyone, maybe we’ll do a BOGO(buy one give one) drive! I’ll talk to our supplier. We may need to hit a minimum.

Why do groups pay such high prices? To be frank, despite our low costs the time required for shipping does not work well with urgency.

We aren’t content with that and we are actively fundraising to build up a replenishable inventory that will reduce that time to 48 hours!

Not only is it high quality at low price points… but we handle the transport to country. We have the necessary paperwork ready for you. Import rules, VAT, partner NGO on the ground? We have that worked out and ready to go!

3/🧵

Here is a comparison of our pricing vs in-country:

• CAT7 Tourniquets ($22.49 - $45.19)
• Decompression Needles ($9 - $23)
• Israeli Bandages ($5.15 - $13.50)
• Hyfin Chestseals TWIN pack ($9.95 - $33.50)

Cost

We here at GLG-20inc would like to talk to you about this important aspect of tacMED delivery. In Ukraine these supplies will run 50-200% more than what our partners charge. This arrangement even beats prices charged when buying in volume straight from the manufacturer.

Hey @glg20inc.bsky.social! Do anything cool today?

I’m never going back. I love it here.

The morale and willingness to fight will be the last card and will determine how this thing ends. Most analysts suggest neither Ukraine or Russia can continue past late 2025, summer of 2026. The next year will set the stage for the end.

Time to turn on the gas fellas. @glg20inc.bsky.social

4) the Ukrainian people, Dmytro Kubela recently wrote a piece in English, positing that if aid declines, Ukraine will not capitulate. If Russia is able to take more land, he estimates the people will devolve into gorilla warfare, leading to widespread war crimes in occupied territory.

3) the Russian people, if a victory is not in sight, and benefits, services and payments decrease, while inflation and rates increase while the ruble continues to decline, they may play a role by putting pressure on the regime as the system is stripped of experience, manpower, and funding.

2) European response, will they be willing to increase aid in the event U.S. aid stops? Statements from Poland, Czech Republic and Germany, suggest not. Only England and Sweden have promised to increase aid, with Sweden only recently beginning its donations after reversing its stance of neutrality.

1) US aid, we are largely in the driver seat. Although pro Ukraine sentiment is that the new administration will reduce or eliminate aid, Russia is doing its best to piss of the incoming administration by playing nude pictures of the future and former First Lady on prime time news. We will see.

In this way, you can see the Kursk counter offensive as tacit willingness to negotiate. Putin and Zelensky are both playing the board to organise their cards for negations. Both see end in view.

We will see shortly how the end game will play out. 4 variables will decide the conclusion:

150 foot geyser of sewage erupted in Moscow. An electrical plant blew up because of user error by an intern engineer, turning off power for 20,000 in the east. Not one of these things is going to cause revolt in the streets, but collectively represent cracks in the system.

The revolt in the Georgian region of Abkhazian in response to Russian attempts to pull more resources from the area likely wont result in any major power shift or loss of territory, but would have been tough to imagine even a year ago.

North Korean artillery pieces are now being imported to replace Russian losses. T-34 and t-55 pieces are now being used. The Moscow film studio producing history movies was called to turn over its 12 t-55’s. Lack of quality kit might explain the higher casualties.

Artillery, bmp, and tank destruction has also been back up. The op tempo is hitting a high water mark. Putin is pushing to take Kursk before an increase in peace talks are assumed to ramp up. He doesn’t want to have to negotiate Kursk.

Here’s where I see the status of the war today:

Casualties for the last four days have been:
1730
1770
1950
1650

All top ten or record number of Russian casualties.
