Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

I’d say Ukraine has counter battery superiority over Russia.
the # of soldier deaths of Ukraine disproves this- and also we all know Ukraine fires less artillery per day than Russia, so that is a big cause of actually not having "counterbatter superiority" over Russia.
Russian tube and rocket artillery losses over the last month have been huge.
But it hasnt reduced the effectiveness of the Russian army's rocket artillery operations in Ukraine. Russia obviously either has large stocks of these weapons, or has successfully ramped up production of them.
HIMARS is wrecking the Russian rear
Not as much as it was before- we know Russian ADs have gotten better and better at intercepting these expensive HIMARS shells- obv US cant keep supplying too many of them for much longer if they just get destroyed in the rear end ammunition dumps that the Russian army seems good at finding. HIMARS shells are VERY expensive, so they are cost prohibitive in this war, and definitely so with their interception rates increasing. But in general HIMARS is a deadly weapons, sure, Russia will obviously not intercept every one succesfully- Russia taking losses in equipment from HIMARS is also just part of the war, but the question is how do these losses affect overall performance in the war in Ukraine? you focus on one weapon like HIMARS, which is a small distractionary part of the big picture, while Ukraine is actually losing the war and probably wont have a military that can function normally in 5-8 months.

A total of only 23 were lost in Yemen. This is not even remotely close to being deemed "terrible." These losses were mainly due to Saudi army being incompetent in large part.

What you saw were rigged detonations with explosives planted inside the tank. This is common tactic to destroy the tank to prevent it from falling into enemy hands.
Then why is US afraid to send its M1 tanks into the Ukrainian frontlines? In the Ukraine war, its score is 0/100, this M1 tank you keep describing doesnt matter at all if it doesnt show up in the UKrainian battlefield- whats this vaunted M1scared of?

The US will never allow Ukrainians to use ex marines M1A1. Destroyed M1A1 plastered all over the internet hurt Abrams sales. Abrams already losing sales to South Korean and Chinese tanks.
 
i see alot of UK , USA , Candian , EU members commenting in this defence pk forum on Russian war, and comments feels like Russia is loosing this war.

however when i look into indian forum , it feels like russia is killing 500+ ukranian soldiers a day. and russia is destoying Ukraine.

when i see USA podcasts , it also shows Russia is destroying ukraine.


what is happening

Well, in the last twenty years many things have happened in the West, including the disappearance of the free press and the disappearance of freedom of expression in public on major issues, we are now the envy of North Korea.

No one is allowed to step out of 'the party line', the topics allowed in public are: gastronomy, sports, gossip and culture war between troglodytes and bobo-progressives.

...

By "no one" I mean public figures, let's remember for example that the chairman of the foreign affairs committee of Finland's parliament (and a democratic parliament is supposed to be a place to parliament) was forced to resign and apologize for a simple sentence that for more joke contained a "maybe"

...

On the one hand in the West we are the envy of North Korea and on the other hand the Taliban of Afghanistan seem reasonable people compared to the religious cult we are now, in this very thread we can see it.

there is no way these tanks can be used in large flat country like Ukraine

the jet engine on the Abram relies on a huge logistics base with fuel

used singly in Ukraine their service would be cut way to short and Iraqis knocked out M1 with RPG to back of the M1 due to poor cover at the rear due to the hot exhaust escapes

M1 is the most over rated tank in history

btw the latest M1 costs over $25 million each when you add in all the share of the nightmare logistics

thats 6-7x cost of a T90, this would never work

if you really want to look at a World Class tank look at the Leopard 2A7+ or 2A8
Abrams drive on jet fuels. That’s a jet on wheels. Too expensive, too burdensome. Leopards 2 or 3 are better suitable for European wars. That’s why all except Poland want the German tanks. 645 leopards are on order book.

Abrams can use multiple different fuels.

But I think the performance will be lower if burning diesel or gasoline fuels. You will not reach designed capacity if not using jet fuels. It’s like you fill your Porsche with gasoline E5 or E10 instead of super gasoline fuels.
