[quote]If you want to believe these were the WMD Cheney was talking about to justify the war, I suppose you can. But by properly describing them,it would not have had profound the effect on public opinion that the threat of “mushroom clouds” did, when Bush and Powell employed those terms. Colin Powe...

[quote]WAR­SAW—In a sprawl­ing fac­tory com­plex sur­rounded by derelict build­ings, hun­dreds of tech­ni­cians are work­ing around the clock on one of the big­gest chal­lenges of Ukraine’s war: re­pair­ing ar­tillery and heavy ar­mor and re­turn­ing it to the front line.[/quote] [quote]Pol­ish o...

[quote]This means the south and taking Crimea.[/quote] Ukraine is not going to be able to take all of Crimea. It will possibly be able to take 2/3rds of the peninsula but the southern 1/3rd is mountainous terrain and the Russians will have that fortified. Ukraine will have to cut off the water su...

[img]https://i.imgur.com/wmO9IMV.png[/img] Hasn't this already been debunked? This post is using the fact that 530 Abrams had to be sent to maintenance centers out of the middle east as evidence that they were destroyed. 100% disinformation....

[quote]Russia says it has two versions of its robotic tank-killer "Marker" unmanned vehicles [/quote] I believe this. They likely have 2 prototypes. [quote]destroy either the Leopard or M-1 Abrams from a distance of 15km ready to move into battle. Im calling bull shite on Russia here. [/qu...

[quote]On Twitter, I am seeing a fair amount of discussion about the UK's 30 Eurofighter Typhoons from Tranche 1. The UK is planning to retire these planes by 2025, according to Jane's, even though they have over half of their airframe hours remaining. [/quote] The Eurofighter would be a better ...

[quote]A-10's were designed to defend a tank charge through the Fulda Gap and built to survive long enough to kill tanks.[/quote] A10s can survive MANPADs and AAA but they can’t survive a direct hit by a S300 missile or a Buk missile....

[quote]AWACS[/quote] They have to suppress the Russians SAMs first. Since Russia can cover the air from SAMs located in Crimea or Russia that is going to be a challenge. It’s not insurmountable but Ukraine is going to need more HAARM capable air craft and more pilots trained in wild weasel missio...

[quote]Because we have never used the Abrams in any conflict to test them out...[/quote] NATO MBTs have never gone up against T90s or modernized T72s. They have also not gone against enemy tanks in any major battle since 1991. They went up against the export version of the T72 in Iraq but the mo...

[quote]Kinda shocked them and Sweden arent chomping at the bit to make this happen considering how badly the F35 has dominated export sales over the Gripen and Rafale[/quote] It’s not really surprising. Sweden is not in NATO yet and they are close to Russia. They are not going to consider giving ...

[quote]US is sending the A2 Abrams without the uranium armor and not the older A1.[/quote] That is what we meant by saying that Ukraine was getting the export version. It’s also has less advanced optics and computer stuff but it’s still way better than the Russians have. ...

[quote]I meant to ask you about your tanker friend. You said he was a colonel in their army is his unit one of the ones that tagged to transition to Leopards or have you been able to speak with him?[/quote] I’m not sure.

[quote]Wasn't Motor Sich making engines for Russian helicopters and exposed? [/quote] One executive was busted but not the whole company. The helicopter engine factory is in Zaporizhzhia city but the jet engine factory was in Kharkiv before the invasion. I don’t know where it is now....

[quote]Yeah but that total was their aircraft in operation before the war started.[/quote] No it’s their estimated number as of 12/3/22 according to the source that wikipedia lists. [quote]The scale of Ukraine’s own equipment losses remains unclear, but these have in part been offset by its re...

[quote]Yes but you would really need 5 of their squadrons or 60 aircraft to really control their sky. 24 F-26s and however many Mig-29s and Su-27s they still have airworthy. If I had to guess Ukraine still probably has 30-40 fighters left.[/quote] According to wikipedia Ukraine has 43 operational...

[quote]The TL:DW? The Ukrainians have the high ground outside of Soledar and are using the entire area as target practice. Russians are getting killed easily and in bunches. Russians still have yet to enter Bakhmut. Sounds like they're holding pretty good. Still wanting more of course. But it doe...
