re: Russia taking 70 year old t-54/55 out of storage to the front

Seems like a cheap way to get Ukraine to waste more ammo.

So you take the time to un-mothball them, load ammo, take up valuable rail transport, load in four sacrificial Ivans, just to absorb one round of western munitions?

Meanwhile 4 men are going to experience massive mechanical breakdowns, old ammunition misfires, in a tank that’s hopelessly blind, outgunned, and that they know nothing about. Hard to see them accomplishing anything before they fill 4 body bags.

Killing a crew, with four furious families morning sons, husbands, and fathers is NO WAY TO WIN A WAR!

It’s the exact way to loose a war.
