Two T90 they lost as well in the last couple of days, looks like they both got stuck rather than destroyed, one looks to be still running as the track is moving.Lancasterclaret wrote: ↑Mon Sep 26, 2022 2:20 pmWhy is it folly?
The pics I'm seeing are T-62 with reactive armor turning up at the front line, towed ZU-23 AA guns etc etc etc
That equipment is almost as old as me, and will suffer disproportionately heavier casualties because its essentially obsolete
The modern stuff that Russia has (or rather had) is heavily dependent on Western tech, all of which is now on the sanctioned list
I can see Russia have a large army v the Ukrainians next year, but will it be as combat effective as the one that invaded in Feb 2022?
I can't see it, and the Ukrainian one is now both better equipped and experienced
I don't see Western arms shipments halting either, because Putin has been upping the rhetoric for the last six months, and it now impossible to ignore (well, apart from people like Corbyn) the threat he poses
The rains and mud have started, might have caught these guys out. Once a John Deere turns up that’s two more tanks for Ukraines army.
