Default Re: Updates in light of Ukraine war

The one thing from the very beginning that struck me as unusual regarding the T-14 was its size which was a radical departure from accepted Russian design and primarily not just the length but it's height






It's why I always thought it would be intended to be used more in an overwatch/support capacity for the T-90s rather than something meant to lead the way. It would be a hard target to miss

While seaching for the images above I found this and could not resist




add 2022 Ukraine to that

Fallout Re: Updates in light of Ukraine war

Apparently, it has begun. CNN and Ukrainian officials have reported just a short time ago, that the Battle for Donbas has started.

Apparently, Russia has moved 10 Battalions into the area.

If true, so it begins.

Putin has publicly declared he wants a resolution by 9 May in time for "Victory Day" celebrations.

Regards,
Pat

Dunno why, but I got reminded of Operation Primavera (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_spring_offensive). The Ukrainians will be lucky if they have their own hill 731 by the end of this.

I wish I could help them.
I don't anyone to die on either side, but at the same time I hope for the Russians to leave their remains there as they fail to gain anything.

It's too bad the Ukrainians don't have the forces to attack towards the south now that the Russians are focused to Donbas.

Not saying I believe anything this guy has posted or even claims, but now according to his reports we, the US, have given the Ukrainians M270 MRLS along with all the other stuff.
