Fallout Re: MBT's

The T-62's I'd already posted on about three months ago but had nothing I don't BELIEVE on the BTR-50.

I came across this just a few minutes ago to give credence to the thought they are in Ukraine. But I understand Don's plan.

I don't even think the AI would buy them from what I've seen since I started playing this game, outside of its original service dates.

UK sending more CHALLENGER 2 tanks to Ukraine. The export version is ready. A nice add on is the discussion comparing it to the T-80BV. I don't know why they just didn't give them 3 more to fill it out to a full Ukrainian tank battalion?

UK Training continues I would expect early April to completed as long as there are no issues.

Rheinmetall has finalized their list of what will send the Ukraine these will be near to long before being fully realized. but we have numbers now.

Is anyone else seeing a pattern developing here with these foreign tanks?

What about those T-55S tanks how are they training them?
They're being trained as a Battalion to conduct combined operations within a Brigade.

All you have to do is like at the numbers of what's coming and already on the web. One Battalion of each for the LEOPARDS and ABRAMS.

Just a cautionary tale is all this is. The T-55S training started in NOV 2022 on expect it to be completed by MAR 2023.

We should all fully understand why they're not (Or shouldn't. ) going to send a Platoon here or there.

If not turn in your SPMBT Club Card and you'll be buying drinks for us all for a year before you get your "Club Card" back, CRAP CINCLANTFLEET just saw this last!!!!

Anyway, since I now have some explaining to do and I'll just blame it on the shots I received in "each cheek" late this afternoon making me feel a little delirious (I experienced a sudden feeling of being in NASA centrifuge. ) that's the plan.

After 9pm feeling burnt out so the final TWO words are "Battlefield Logistics" and I shouldn't point out the larger implications of them.

We'll just have to see how the "chips fall" with the Ukraine thinking of a tactical withdrawal from Bakhmut this will buy the Ukraine more time and strengthen their lines and if only 1/2 the stories of Russian losses are true it'll take them sometime to regroup.

The "Battle of Ukraine" is really being fought at places similar to or there Salisbury Plain, Schweinfurt, École de cavalerie, Field Marshal Rommel Barracks, Augustdorf, Drawsko Pomorskie Training Area and others. .

Obviously, those already in the fight are fighting for their country but you have to believe that they also know they are fighting for time until more of those troops in fields far from home can get back home to fight in their own fields.

Those are my final words FINALLY besides I got some "xxplaining" to do to CINCLANTHOME about the "club thing" have a good night!!

GOT SOME Jeremy Clarkson "FARM 2" to watch.

Regards,
Pat
