It makes perfect sense. 20 minutes ago, magnkarl said: they just cannot hide their in part heavy cronyism towards Russia. Scholz' party is full of Putin-shills on the left, and this statement is likely directly from them. Germany, gone from Panzers to Pansies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) The Rammstein meetings continue this week. U.S officials are already calling this the week where Ukraine will be given what they need to beat Russia. Sweden and U.K have opened the proceedings with good deliveries, Canada to give 100 more AFV's, let's see what Germany and France does. U.S likely to give 100km range ground fired diameter bombs and Stryker AFV's. The issue for Ukraine will be to organise this extremely colorful array of different platforms. We struggled in the 70's in my army days with 3 different systems.. Speak of the devil.. Edited January 19, 2023 by magnkarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 So Ukraine will get 20 different types of vehicles and have to try to train their soliders how to use them in 6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing is that NATO AFV's generally run on the same computing systems, Bradleys, Strykers, CV90's (correct me if I'm wrong), Mastiffs etc can all be run with very similar systems and are generally devloped by the same companies (BAE, General Dynamics) Tanks - not so sure.

bickster Posted January 19, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 19, 2023 So with all the talk about Leopards and other MBTs Russia has responded. It's a high risk punt by them if they do deploy the Armata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopping wouldn’t just harm Putin’s reputation, it would mean his death. For Putin himself the cost of stopping is far higher than the cost of pushing on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only “out” he has is that he’s killed all the Nazi’s so operation complete. The people of Russia are so depressed they might just let it go as long as the war ended (no more of their families are sent to the slaughter).

Even that won't do because in Russian / Putin world he's annexed the oblasts of eastern Ukraine because they are RUssian and the only way this stops is by Russia leaving them.
