If tank crews are scavenging fuel in order to try and keep up with the other side then you likely have bigger problems than just obsolete tanks.

That means supply lines have been stretched to the breaking point and having to move and store twice as much fuel probably didn’t help much.

WTF???!!!  More than HALF???!!!


Why can't the US hold Ukraine accountable for keeping track of the weapons, munitions, and supplies given to them?  Maybe they are the culprit.

It's cause they were never sent. I mean, on paper they were, so invoices can be made and monies "paid".

Here's a though, the Abrams that we sent over are now being seen in Ukraine.  This would be a way of testing real/recent battlefield conditions.   These tanks have been tested years ago in the middle east, but not under this new warfare.  Like drones and more tank vs tank or vs anti tank stuff as the Iraqi's, Taliban, etc... had very little (exclude RPG's).

First pic of an Abrams destroyed and Russia claims it was hit with an anti tank round.  The blow out panels were show to be activated (fire coming from there), but no word on if the crew survived or not.

New tank battle doctrine, keep your hatches closed (drone dropping stuff inside).

That's nothing new. . . stuff like that have been "tested" regularly for a long time. . . for obvious reasons not shared widely. 

I've had a chance to witness some of those tests when we were on adjacent test ranges for my projects.  Albeit maybe 5-6 years ago, so now "older tech".

It's amazing that the US Bradley fighting vehicles are doing well in Ukraine.  One beat Russia's most advanced main battle tank. 

I think that's awesome. 

The Bradley is infinitely better in many ways than the old dinosaur M113 I trained in.
We used to call it the rolling coffin.....

As predicted, the US empire's proxy war against Russia and soon China is bringing the World one mistake to WWIII.

Russian warships returning to Cuba is just the beginning.

what about your prediction about the end of the war in Ukraine?

No focus.

I made no prediction regarding the end of the war in Ukraine.

"The US empire knows Russia is preparing their major counteroffensive that will bring the Ukraine war to an end in the next few months or weeks.  The current US empire / NATO led Ukrainian forces will not be able to withstand that conventional assault."

Mentioning a few months or weeks does not equate to giving an actual date.

Obviously, Russia has decided for more an attrition approach in their war with Ukraine rather than seeking a quick decisive victory than I anticipated.
