Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

[925boy]

The Bradleys(and other vehicles) are stepping stone to Abrahams, Leopards and Leclerc's as once crews are trained on the smaller tanks - they can be moved to the larger tanks..

agreed- Bradley and these tanks in Ukrainian hands will give Russia actual combat experience against what NATO might send to fight Russia down the line.

These equipments wont give Ukraine a win though, pretty confident in that. equipment doesnt win wars, determination and tenacity does.

Sadly, he wasn't wrong about the issue with Bradley, some even I had mentioned before. I remember joking around farting inside a Bradley in some thread here to issue how lack of space and cramp the quarter is.

The thing is, I doubt Ukraine will use it the way we do, they will use it more like an IFV than an APC. If they want a pure maneuver APC, it would be better off like the guy said, stick to 113 (Which is what I said before in some thread)

By the way, just for reference and put into perspective. "Hell Hole" refer to the space next to the turret and between the Troop Compartment and Driver Compartment, it was supposed to be where the 7th man sat, but mostly people use to store ration and ammunition because it is hard to access.

You should ask Putin what determination he has? What’s the endgame? It’s hopeless for him to win this war.

Himars cant take ground and protect and support infantry directly... silly question

Tanks 'may well be part' of UK's future support packages for Ukraine

It comes as the United States today announced yet another multi-billion dollar military aid package to support Kyiv in the face of Russian aggression would be unveiled on Friday

>> UK now talking about sending tanks etc but there is nothing much in stock we can send since the UK Gov has run down inventory stocks and weapons by so much for the British Army.

Correction, Ukrainians have already taken huge swaths of territories already via Himars. Without your wunder tanks

Too little. Germany needs to spend 10 trillion dollars, build 1,000 generators and send to Ukraine, and spend another 10 trillion dollars buying oil from Saudi Arabia to power the generators.

Interesting read, it took 5% of the U.S. Military budget to destroy half of the Russian equipment in Ukraine. The loss of life is irreplaceable.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when you have stupid leadership that's only good at hearing "Yes, Sir" and fails to hear criticism and learn from it.

Some might say the strategy and tactics employed were poor, but I will give them that. However, adjustments are made during the conflict, and the Russians failed even at this.

"Just before Christmas, President Joe Biden signed the Fiscal 2023 National Defense Authorization Act into law, allotting $816.7 billion to the Pentagon. If we divide that number into four unofficial major categories that address near-peer adversaries, transnational threats, and logistical concerns (China, Russia, Global War on Terrorism, and modernization of the military), we get approximately 200 billion allocated for dealing with the Russian military.

So, the U.S. has managed to indirectly half the combat capability of the Russian forces with just one-quarter of the amount by supporting Ukraine."
