  1.  @steamedham5412  You have terrible reading comprehension

  2. Their offensive was planned on their own propaganda. They expected to blitzkrieg over the trenches in their invincible German tanks, mowing down defenseless, terrified conscripts as they ran for their lives. This is evidenced by their leading an armor assault, with massing tactics. The simply weren't expecting to fight and thought they would just charge in and stuff a bunch of armor into Russia's hole. And it's pretty evident that it is, in fact, because they were getting high on their own supply, as they spent all winter lol'ng about stupid, untrained orcs desperately digging holes all winter, because they knew they lost and now they're scared Ukraine is going to take Russia... and how they were going to just push aside and roll right over Russia's pathetic parking blocks, like a monster truck. Then suddenly its Dude, where's my leg???

  3. Thing is, Im really an analyst (fmr 297th MI-BN) from Desert Storm. DS is what all these narcissistic estimations of US equipment and capability is rooted in. What is not commonly understood is first, we spent 6 months building a million man army on their doorstep. About 40% of the Iraqi armor we destroyed, was 'non-deployable' by our standards. More than half the Iraqi armor force had significant operational issues, such as broken hydraulics and other mechanical/electrical problems. I mean, they shot at M1s and Challengers with canister shot, because they didnt have the right ammo. They ran out of ammo, ran out of fuel, broke down, then got abandoned and banged by Apaches and A10s, before some Bradley crew found it and blew its load on the burned out corpse and then claimed a kill. There were some legit Bradley kills. Like a T72 in a pit that a Bradley came over a berm and caught napping. Gunned it right in the top of the turret at close contact. They got a few long-range TOW kills(including a Challenger and a couple M1s). And thats where the Bradley's legendary status as a 'tank killer' comes from. Bottom line, Iraq didnt invade Kuwait for resources because they were doing swell. All their men and equipment were hungry and shot up from them and Iran tuning each other up for a decade. Yeah, we definitely did it right, but 30 years on everyone is still taking a fist pumping victory lap and thinking thats just exactly what fighting Russia will be like

  4. It took about 4 or 5 videos to realize how full of excretions McBeth is. He has told a number of outright lies and his nominal narrative is damage control. Yes, the captured M1 is 'outdated'... because its an M1. Its primary design and development took place at a time that ATGM were a crew served special weapon. Not when everyone is carrying a bag full of them like RPGs. It doesnt even take a sophisticated weapon to destroy one, because they can get immobilized by a mine, or RPG or even a drone and then get gangbanged to death by drones and artillery. Current tanks simply arent rated for this threat environment.

  5. Hes partially correct. Ukraine doesn't know what they're doing, because you cant buy experience. But, these weapons have also never faced a peer force. All of these tanks primary design phase happened when ATGM were a crew served special weapon. Now, everyone is carrying 3 guided missiles in their back pocket and helicopters can fire them over the horizon. And no matter how mine resistant your vehicle is, nothing stops the enemy from just duct taping 2 of them together 👍

  6. They would fare only slightly better with American crews. The problem is that the threats they face now, didn't exist when they were designed.

  7. ​ @jeremyj5932  6 months later... Kiev is a strategically unimportant city of only symbolic significance to Putin, so that he has something to show for the last 6 months of losses and failures.

  9.  @LaM185CR  'Flattening the area' You of course mean as they come down in flames and explode in the middle of the battlefield. You clearly haven't been paying any attention at all.

  10. Very shallow interview. The difference between the US and Russia, that everyone needs to focus on, is tolerance for pain. The US simply cant tolerate the casualties and domestic privation that Russia can. Thats what war is about. Second is the tragically mistaken notion of 'NATO vs Russia'. It in fact would be NATO vs the 98% of Earth that hates NATO to death and just wants a piece and the rest of the world that isnt going to just sit on their hands and wait their turn for precision guided democracy. China is very close to entering this conflict directly and if Russia comes into any danger of destabilization, they will.
