re: The Official Thread: Russia invades Ukraine

You do understand that Ukraine is going to have numerical advantages in both men and equipment

The Russians invaded with a numerically inferior force.

They claim they’re currently inflicting casualties at a 7:1 ratio though.

Combine that with the modern arms the west is pumping into the theater

Yes and no.

The Leopards Is and the Polish T-72s are not as advanced as the tanks Ukraine had at the outset of the war.

And we’re sending a hodgepodge of systems, which will complicate their supply issues.

We’re also not sending enough heavy equipment. They don’t need 100 artillery pieces for example, they need 500.

It’s also difficult to get that equipment to the front lines. And how are they going to maintain it..
