Using phones and tablets to communicate in encrypted chat lines, a rapidly growing group of U.S. and allied troops and contractors are providing real-time maintenance advice to Ukrainian troops on the battlefield.

越来越多美国及其盟国的军队和承包商通过手机和平板电脑的加密聊天线路进行交流，为战场上的乌克兰军队提供实时维修建议。

As allies send more and increasingly complex (and high-)tech weapons to Ukraine, demands for these services are spiking, particularly as no U.S. or other NATO nations will send troops into the country to provide hands-on assistance amid worries about being drawn into direct conflict with Russia.

由于盟国向乌克兰提供的武器越来越复杂和高科技，武器维修服务的需求激增，特别是考虑到美国或其他北约国家担心卷入与俄罗斯的直接冲突，不会派遣军队进入乌克兰，提供实际援助的情况。

Fixing a howitzer, repair teams say, has been a frequent request from Ukrainian troops on the front lines.

维修团队表示，前线的乌克兰军队经常需要修理榴弹炮。

Just a few months ago, there were a bit more than 50 members of these remote maintenance teams.

就在几个月前，远程维修团队的成员还只有50多人。

That will surge to 115 in the coming weeks and the number of encrypted chat lines has more than tripled, from about 11 last fall to 38 now.

随后几周，这一数字将激增至115人，加密聊天线路的数量增加了两倍多，从去年秋天的大约11条线路增加到现在的38条。

预计前副总统迈克·彭斯、前美国驻联合国代表妮基·黑利和佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯可能会参加竞选，但特朗普是目前唯一宣布参加2024年总统竞选的共和党人。
