Russia - threadbanned users in OP

The Ukrainians already know he has doubles.

I don't think it's just the fuel. It's also the weight of the tank and the logistic train is completely different than Soviet and leopard.

However, it would be similar to the challenger tanks being different to the soviet/leopards also. But that didn't stop the UK announcing them being given to Ukraine.

The US could easily announce they are sending a dozen Abrams (what ever version which would work best for Ukraine) but will require extensive training etc... Just drag it out but call Scholtz's bluff.

Well they should start training any spare pilots Ukraine has, right now, so if they decide to, there won't be so much of a delay. Another way around this is it's well time for little blue men. Pilots retiring from foreign militaries and becoming instant yellow and blue citizens.

Well they have the rockets in abundance and tested, the glide bombs in abundance and tested, but it's the mechanism that binds the 2 that turns the rocket and bomb into a GLSDB that seems to be slowing it down.

I don't think they are in production as such.

Still not a good excuse, if there's a dozen built, send the dozen. Ukraine will put them to good use and just keep sending them as they are assembled.

Game changing weapons like that for Ukraine should be put on a war footing.

They (the West) need to stop using time as an excuse. We can't send X because it will take 6 months training.... 6 months later, ok we'll send X, but now you need the training etc...

Even if the war head didn't go off , I'm sure the rocket fuel would go up in flames ,

Did you intend to reply to another post? I was talking about battery powered drones, not tanks.

It's not been mentioned much, but the Russians have also launched an attack in the Zaporizhzhia region. They have taken one small village, Lobkove.

This Russian Z channel isn't happy though. It looks like the Russians are advancing through open fields on foot (presumably because the area is heavily mined).

At this stage, they're like the Chair-O-Planes in the carnival, swinging faster and faster, higher and higher, but no one knows how to stop the machine...... but at some point, they will start to fly off the machine.

Yes its worrying.

Strange thing though is what that mappers' updates are based on. I was under the impression they (like most) updates maps primarily based on geolocated footage. Cant find any proof anywhere of those big gains south west of bakhmut, other than very large extrapolations from a Ukraine MoD statement.

Even the pro russians arent claiming gains to this extent bar taking klischiivka itself

That rooftop air defence system in Moscow is near Putrid's residence.

Nice - In response to The Netherlands considering supplying F-16s if Zelensky asked for them - Zelensky asked for them. He's no time waster. Great speech.

Yes they are logical in protecting their own personal interests, even if that means destroying the state in order to do so. But sooner or later, that means collapsing into a Korean like state. More restrictive laws are coming into force every day now, throttling each and every kind of personal freedom, even worse than in Stalins day.

Ah my bad, stupid draft messages on boards 🤬

What a great idea!
