LOL! Like the Taliban hasn't intentionally or accidentally killed their own civilians. Just like Iraq. Especially blowing up mosques.
Took many of them as much as possible.
ANA didn't have Javelins or Stinger missiles, etc.
I think Poland and Czech Republic and Slovakia builds their own T72 version of the tanks even though they bought either the Abrams or Leos, correct? Maybe they can build those version of the tanks for the Ukrainians if providing Leos doesn't go to plan or not enough of it even if 100 Leos were...
Regain the momentum? From what I've seen, they push the Russians out of Kiev region, Snake Island, Kharkiv region, and half of Kherson region along with the regional capital city of Kherson. Sometimes there be gaps in time where nothing happens and then something big happens.
And it was a lie.
Well if the U.S. government was not willing to make sacrifices then the first American death would have ending the war 20 years ago then. Same for Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq War, etc. All the wars should have been over on the first day the moment an American soldier dies.
Lost the heart of the...
From what I'm reading by rumors or officially, many of the countries with Leopard 2s are will to give them to Ukraine but only with Germany's blessing. And Germany so far has said it was an escalation since tanks are considered in their view as offensive weaponry which is dumb considering they...
His army tried. His words Mother of All Battles wasn't enough to deter the U.S. led forces.
Yes, they had the Taliban, warlords as well as the Northern Alliance led by Ahmed Masood who was assassinated few days prior to 9/11.
Okay you at least say the law of physics side with the Russians...
I believe so. With its 120mm gun and upgraded armor and sensors to see the T-72 first and kill it.
They will bomb the Russians in Ukraine to death because that is Article 5 right there.
What mess? Not being part of Russia? I mean thats like don't blame Putin for invading the Baltics or Poland or other countries that are eager to help Ukraine against Russia. Former satellite states of the USSR.
Oh please, we have subs that can launch missiles towards Moscow in few minutes...
They expect Ukraine to fall easily. Just like Crimea fell but the Green Men aka Russian soldiers in disguise kind of confused people as to who they were. Were they Ukrainians breaking away from the Ukraine and wants to be part of Russia? By then it was too late. Same for trying to do the...
Whether its draft dodgers from WW2 or Vietnam, the U.S. military was fighting for many years. Even the Korean War hasn't ended. Still have forces in Iraq. I wouldn't rely on the perception that U.S. would not fight or wouldn't last long. Its something Saddam made that mistake in the Gulf...
Well they have a couple of options.
Option 1: Build a large factory as you said somewhere in Western or Central Ukraine far from Belarus/Russian borders and hope the Russians don't fire everything at it even with heavy air defense protecting it. Pretty much putting all their eggs in one...
They have a lot to lose hence why Iran has yet to lob massive amounts of missiles towards U.S. bases all over ME. They would fire on Kurds or someone else but not on the U.S. Not since the death of Soleimani.
Depends on what they did to it. ERA, thicker armor, APS, separate ammo bustle compartment from crew, etc. If it was just basic M60, wouldn't last long.
