Russia has out built, out stripped out produced pretty much all of the Western nations combined in the last 18 months and this includes the US

What makes you think Zelensky can win where Napolean and Nazi failed

Russia can not be defeated full stop

Americans are scared to death to send in the Abram, that cheap American tin can is not as good as the Leopard 2A6

actually you can send the Leopard 2A7+ and 2A8the result will be the same

No if the US was fighting, the US Air Force would obliterate every fortification in its path, and US Army overrun Russian positions with 2,000+ Abrams and Bradley’s a piece.

US combined arms effects would be overwhelming

Not very cheap...

If... So when are you going to actually help your ally Ukraine?

15km range vikhr? The ATGM only has a range of 8-10km...

Wow, our Nato-Primus measured the secret maximum range for the Russian Top-Notch helicopter based ATGM.

:/

So I'm a NATO shill if I disagree with you, even if the thing I disagree with is smaller than your brain?

Roast those nazi maniacs.

Your country Netherlands is helping them.

Same guys denying Russia had huge loses while doing offensive operations for months , now claim the ukrainian offensive is all over because some ukrainian armor drove into some mines.
Fact is your hope is based on the same footage circulating and some russian MOD hyperbole - even Putin felt the need to surface trying to control the narrative.
You favorite pro russian bloggers has been in a state of panic this past week, and they still are for good reason. This is just the beginning of something the russians really fear.

Losses were expected, especially since Ukraine doesn’t have air superiority and these are fresh recruits operating these vehicles. In fact they’ll probably lose plenty more. These aren’t magic weapons. It’s how you use these weapons in combined arm’s maneuvers that matter most.

The main thing are nearly all the crews survived unlike our Russian astronauts who get sent to space.

These people think that winning a war means not losing even one piece of equipment. They care more about 4 destroyed Ukrainian tanks rather than asking themselves why mighty Russia lost over 1000 despite having every strategic advantage in the book.

Bradley’s saved those soldiers lives. They don’t get sent to orbit.

Russia has lost something like 7,000 pieces of armor.

That was some sort of a smoke grenade type thing that allowed those neo nazis to escape.

Like tom cruise did in that top gun maverick movie.

Russia has lost something like 7,000 pieces of armor.

According to Ukraine, Russia has lost approximately 3,800 tanks (as of May 2023), while independent studies estimate the number to be around 1,600. So, no idea where that "7,000 pieces of armor" claim is coming from.

Regardless of the actual figures (as there is no concrete source), it is important to remember that not all of these tanks were top-of-the-line T-90s, and the majority of them were taken down by Ukrainian forces using Javelin missiles.

Now, here's where things get interesting: It costs Russia approximately $1.6 million to domestically manufacture the state-of-the-art T-90M Proryv-3 tank. In contrast, a Javelin missile (excluding the firing platform) goes for like $240,000 a pop.

The point is, this war is far from "inexpensive," no matter how you look at it. Sooner or later, either the West or Russia will lose its patience, and Europeans are already reluctantly supporting Ukraine due to their obligations with NATO.

Plus, during World War II, Russia lost over 80,000 tanks, so even 7,000 tanks is a rookie number!

And let's not forget that Russia has abundant oil reserves and practically the entire Asia and Africa relies on their military hardware, at least to a certain extent.

Point is, they can fuel this facade for much longer than you'd like to admit.

Yes total blunder. Usually that is the job of Ukraine’s pioneers to find out safe passage or if necessary to clear mines.
The Russians laid mines in industrial scale along the contact line, then multiple miles deep in defense positions over the past months.
Ukraine tanks will learn from the mistakes. There are gaps in Russians defense positions. Once overcome Ukraine tanks can advance to Assov unhindered.
