What are the Russians sending besides mobilized troops? What kind of tanks they are sending? Armatas and T90s? Putin sending in his personal Centurion guard?
I feel like Putin needs to get out of the trap. You know, pull out of Ukraine completely. He's losing his best troops and equipment...
Very true, be a waste just sending a few trickle western tanks instead of a large counter offensive move when having a build up of tanks en masses along with IFVs, troops transports, etc. As you mentioned that the Ukrainians will just have to bear the brunt of the Russians offensive while...
Yes every year did you decided to sink all the ships and shoot down all the aircraft? Why haven't you done so? Maybe oh because the difference is they are in international waters. Because for sure you wouldn't allow the ships and planes flying into middle of China.
Guess they need to speed things up. Especially the Paladins. I'm also hoping for more artillery as well like at least 200 or so from other countries besides the tanks. Cluster munitions also important, Biden shouldn't worry about it since Ukrainian government is requesting them and are using...
The real test? The U.S. has been training to fight against powerful nations like the Soviet Union and China. What do you think about the U.S. fighting against the Russians now excluding nuclear weapons?
Question is how would they pre-emptive strike? How do you avoid the USAF and Navy? As...
No the strong response doesn't confirm its not a spy balloon. No different than asking for our RQ170 plane back or our UUV from China.

“Here we have the 50 Leopard 1s,” he said, pointing. “We also have 38 German Gepard tanks, 112 Austrian SK-105 light tanks, and 100 Italian VCC2 and 70 M113 armour carriers.”
Besides the Leos, but the 38...
He already forgotten when Crimea got bombed last time.
Many nations are sending in their equipment, even Germany. But the Baltics and Poland have been more aggressive and willing to send in their equipment compared to others early in the war. Mind you they just don't want to be part of Russia...

World View’s high-altitude Stratollite balloons capture some great images
Pioneering near-space company World View is showing off what its so-called ‘stratollite’ balloons can do with a...
Your government says its from China. Also even threaten retaliation for the balloon getting blown out of the sky.
Why we still use spy planes when we have satellites?
The end of the Cold War. I'm all for the L55 on the Abrams, even the new L55A1, but as you and I pointed out, its too heavy and would cost much to make massive changes to the turret and internals for that gun. Hence the other gun on the Abramsx demonstrator which is little bit longer but...
Um they tracked it back to China. Unless it was some foreign company in China that decided to launch it from China. Then yeah it wouldn't be Chinese origin.
If it was flying over China vice versa, you be declaring war and firing hundreds of missiles at it.
Well the Thumper was just a testbed to make sure if the gun works. They introduce the CATTB that accommodates the gun hence you see the taller turret so the gun can handle the gun depression that it needs. Also had an autoloader.
Well the Abrams was design with 105mm originally before accommodating the 120mm and then a longer heavier gun. I'm sure the engineers could do it if they have the time and budget to make it work. Changing the turret or stabilization, etc. Think of the Leopard prototype of the 140mm gun and it...
Can always ask Amazon Prime shipping. Even if 31 tanks, they can help with break throughs and let Ukrainians send in their own non Western tanks take over afterwards after hours of combat operations by the Abrams and others or rotate them for rest and repair.
Just accept the fact that the...
