  1.  @Chuck_Hooks  You realize tractors ARE targets in a war? Any machinery that can pull artillery , drag stuck tanks is an asset and WILL be shot by BOTH sides. Far less valuable than a tank, but it is still somethign both sides target when they see one.

  2. Depends on a lot of external factors. For example.. if ANY conflict start around Taiwan, NATO has to withdraw most of its support for Ukraine and would be game over. OTherwise it can extend very well into 2024
    25
  3. To be honest they are takign a significant toll of losses due to Ukranian artillery. Seems Ukranian artillery is by far their best asset( and better used)
    13
  4. And for that reason the T55 is the most sucessful tank in history.. not because of its performance but because it was so simple (compared to other tanks)
    11
  5. Yes, but any war since WW2 have this type of results.
    8
  6. Any tank hit directly from above by artillery will be disabled. 152mm shells have a HUGE punch, they are 4 time smroe massive than 120 shells and even pure HE on that scale will hurt the crew.

  7. It is critical for the Ukranians offensive. As it has a conjunction of roads and railroads. For Russia it helps them in nothing, but they need to keep it out of Ukranian hands as that makes Ukranians logistics far harder.

  8. That execution of surrendering soldiers was messed up, hope the Russian command realize how dangerous for everyone (including themselves) is to have officers allowing such things.

  9. Even better, send Italy to the allies, if they had to save italy as much as germany had it would be their downfall.

  10.  @31mAyMgaYanga  Well they never stated that. They said 1 week. And they got pretty close, they faield to take 1 bridge before the ukranians blocked it and made impossible for Russiasn to supply their troops.

  11.  @princeo15  Another example that private entrepeneours are always superior to government structures.

  12. some tiny slices of SP also get it

  13.  @farhan5647  You need a balance. A clueless crew will always fail, but even the best crew in a M-48 has no change against a modern tank.

  14. It was such an unique incident.. that was the FIRST TIME ever that a plane crashed and in the next day the company that build it did not had a stock plunge.
    3
  15. Well modern warfare does use less men... that is a fact. Like 1/5th to 1/10th on the front (although more on the logistics)

  16. What I expect is "fake ucranians" in these tanks. Something alike the Soviet pilots in Korean planes in Korean War. The ones operating it will not be ucranians.

  17.  @GGGG-jn7ib  In fact no. the Abrams was designed exactly for GErmany, poland and Ukraine terrain. But the quantity is indeed too small. Ifyou have less tanks than the enemy has attack helicopters, you have a problem.
    2
  18. Depend a lot on the definition of winning. They can continue to exist as an independent state, but recovering Crimea as they wanted? nope... not at all. They do not have such capabilities.
    2
  19.  @ABD5667  I think it is related to the lies about the WMD in Iraq, people do not like the idea of being sent to a fake war just for internal politics. It is not defending the country anymore
    2
  20. I think you really underestimate their experience on this type of conflict. IF one country can do it, it is them.
    2
  21. I think the fact that The Russian army wanted this victory as a PR thin might have resulted in more people knowing of it than they shoudl.. and information leaked in advance because Ukraine was very very prepared for it.
    2
  22.  @chibuikeogba468  True, Russia did that in the start but west did that in the last month.
    2
  23. the 5 MTSA losses are more relevant than the terrain gained in these last 2 days.
    2
  24. The tiger missed the thrird shot because it was moving. Tiger had no stablizer. Real world a tiger would NEVER EVER shot while moving. EVER!

  25. This is much older than Brics.

  26.  NikolaJokerMVP15 Their tactics are not that a bad, they jsut do not have highly trained troops to execute them well. But With a low number of soldiers they did manage to pull a lot of RUssian attention from other areas What they failed is to capitalize on it.

  27. The only historical foundation is that concentrations of 3 times the number of attackers LOCALLY is considered the threshold for an attack being imminent.

  28. IF you dit in a beachhead for more than a week without advancing.. it is not a beachhead anymore, it is a sloughterhouse
    2
  29. I would say in the current rythm, he has like 7 days at most. The russians do not need a complete encyrclement. As soon as they cut the last road they would force Ukrainian Army into a suicide corridor trough the open fields.
    2
  30. Their first crossing worked because they had surprise.. after that moment, such element was lost.

  31. NATO is doing a bluff to see if Russia has a threshold after all they would accept to sue for peace, but I think they are underestiamting Russian stubordness.

  32. "Journalists" enough said.

  33. This war has not been that deadly. There is no way Ukraine lost 60% of its fighting capable men. Possibly the govenrment is having to ration the men drafted to not collapse the economy that sustains the war.

  34.  @rustysutton  I really doubt these numers are true... this is not WW2.. yet...
    1
  35.  @rustysutton  yes but this war is closer to WW1 style and entrenched troops lose very little from artillery. As a general rule of thumb.. see the number side A give for side B losses, and HALVE it.
    1
  36. This war , tacticallywise is becoming fast, as revolutionary as WW1. It became the age of drones. One can be really sure US forces are already preparing a huge acceleration fo their own dronification even further ahead. We soon might see drones replacing several infantry tasks.

  37. Most important question is.. do Stalingrad have alwasy on Epic music in background? :P

  38. It is where the war is won and that is why USA army is so powerful, incredible logistics. And that is why just sending US weapons to other countries cannot match USA army capacity.

  39. Is it inly me that think using bright yellow bands is detrimental to your camouflage?

  40.  @aboner2551  In US army where thee is plenty of logistic and peopel to do that yes. Ukraine is in a different scenario.
    1
  41.  @aboner2551  I don't think the tanks that they are receiving are that modern The 2A4 is from thew 80's.. not so much automation I would risk to say.

  42. I was thinking.. your last point about the small professional army not working in a conventional war.... it is really bad news for the NATO concept of eventually needing to fight China isn't it?

  43. Now I understand! This war is about rescuing Poor t-34 stuck into war glorifying monuments!

  44. IT would be way more realistic to be a panther at that date. And any reasonable german commander in a panther in that scenario would have eaten those shermans very fast.

  45. Any comments how last week US officials estimated that Russia Lost 20 k troops int he war, but 3 months ago they were talking of 100k? Did Russians discover how to bring their soldiers back from the dead?

  46.  @lumenvitae4215  He meant the one that the bradleys killed short range

  47. Well in war situation they can skip the shaving and toilet part...

  48. Western world got into a fairy tale from the reversal of the first movements of the war. They decided that it was due to Russian incompetence and not because the Russians tried something so hard and decisive that it would have entered history if it had succeeded. They failed, but to fail in something no one ever was able to do since Germany against France does nto mean they cannot do something by the book. What I do not understand is why to sell a lie to the public? How does that help ukraine?

  49. I think your analysis has some mistakes because od demographics. Gaza population is 43% males and avereage age of 17. Yes only 17. They have Much less adult males than you expect.

  50. They could have won by not starting it. Germany after anexing austria and half of Czechslovaquia already had huge gains and had resources to be second world economy in 10 years....

  51. The part that I do not get is, addiivka is not very important strategically, why to try to hold inside a pocket like that for a location that has no logistical crux point? Bahkmut was way more important, but this one is weird as hell. They should have fall back as soon as the Russian pushes started. They were supposed to be focusing in the south, so why to risk so many troops in Avdiivka?

  52.  @Piradoc1600 A gateway to attack a region way harder to advance than the one they are already failing to advance into is not exaclty short term priority .. at least in a sane mind.

  53. Exageration on both sides  johnthebaptist9620  1 million is very unlikely.. this is not WW2. Halve that and you are probably close

  54. lol 1st armored copium brigade.. lol

  55. Media never has any clue on what they talk. Tanks are needed for any serious advance and they will explode, no matter from which side.
    1
  56.  @randomstuff2733  That is why they are sending A4 version, it is outteched already. Nothing that the Russians do not know. THey are not sending A7s
    1
  57.  @noahyoung6950  This is bullshit. No country keep any assault as soon as their losses passes 5:1.

  58. blackwater you mean. Black rock is a huge investment fund
    1
  59.  @tiii4017  Wagner could not have lost 40k as they barely had 40k. Preg. keeps spewing bullshit to feed western media, or you did not notice yet?
    1
  60. Lol totally I found a crazy dude channel claiming Russia lost 20 thousand men this week alone! Lol wtf even in WW2 that would be insane. I do nto know why media likes to lie so much, lies will not help ukraine... lies never help anyone except the one doing the lies.

  61.  @xmeda  AH-64 do not fly well at high altitudes. They have a very strict envelope of operation as they were NEVER made to operate in that scenario. It max operation altitude is 6km, but that is UNARMED. Those fights are over 4 km high so AH-64 were nto even assigned to those areas.
    1
  62. Just a correction, most Ukranians forces use AK-74 not Ak-47. The soviet army had basically no AK-47 in operation by the time of dissolution.

  63.  @convertible4925  Incredibly useful argument of yours.. did you learn with your mom?
    1
  64.  @joebenson528  Naa 1k is too low.. any conflict where other side has active and working artillery will have far more than 1K losses in 1 year. What you describe is as nonsense as Western media propaganda.
    1
  65.  @SerbanOprescu  I am just trying to be impartial . When one side does something in a competent form there is no reason to pretend they did not. Seems on this ocasion the Russian coutner artillery fire was below their usual efficiency, althought here are no reliable information on why (maybe they are beign moved to some other operation?)
    1
  66. People fail to realize NATO doctrine was created assuming Soviets would attack. They NEVER EVER made a doctrine thinking they would need to cross minefields on a land offensive.

  67. Can I make a Suggestion? When you show maps, add a scale so we can have a clue at least how much a Km is in that map.
    1
  68.  @zeffy._440  It is not relevant for their DEEFNSE.. but woudl be very relevant for any offense they might want to do in east. Losign backmut woudl nto make theior front collapse, but makes much harder for them to advance
    1
  69. Well next stage Wagner starts to recruit on NK and they will have plenty of boots.

  70. I can only wonder the absurd number of mines the Russians already placed on their side of that river... I cannot see a fast attack trough a n area that had so long time to prepare. Also soviet bridges were made on purpose to nto be able to handle Western MBTs. So every single river will have an extra delay. I think this isll be a very slow and grindy offensive.
    1
  71. In an attempt to be fair... Ukraine has a shorter objective than Russia (the distance from front to kiev is larger than from front to Russian borders. So each Km Ukranians take is worth a bit more.. but still. not goign very well for them.

  72. And Vassily was made into a huge propaganda machine.
    1
  73.  @kamill1438  The tanks the Russian/Soviet government kept for movies purposes are all -85, so .. better to use them than to make a cardboard fake one
    1
  74. Well people that only listen to media were led to believe Russian tanks were crap. Now comes the reality.. all tanks are crap against a well made AT defense network. Even the best Abrams would suffer losses. No tank is invulnerable.. ever.
    1
  75. Still the taking of Robotynye woudl put Ukraniansin a better position.. if they manage to fing troops to replace their losses (that is the hard part).

  76. wait wait you said that bradley was hit by 105mm shot. .What Russian system currently operates 105mm? I cannot remember ANY. They have 100mm , 115 and 125 mm..

  77. aa depends... people that just want a JOB and not seeking adventure might like a SAM site. I would prefer it to infantry.

  78. Latinos are by definition european ancestry, Spanish, Portuguese mainly. THe native americans are a different ethnic group

  79. They can get obsolete, but only in a far future. I would think the day we have orbital battlefield, then crewed tanks become too big target to survive in the ground.
