Brings in the observation if LATs/HATs should have a drone squadron. This serves two purposes:TB2 UCAVs have been doing a number on Russian military equipment throughout the war. Counter battery artillery fire has been accurate and deadly (from both Russia and Ukraine). ATGMs such as the Javelin haven't been as effective as some people think. Yes they destroyed the enemy tanks, but as per Ukrainian and Russian servicemen, that is after 4 or 5 Javelins have been fired at the same tank (some javelins missed and some didnt get through the ERA and armour). NLAWs had more success than the Javelin.
But we have to remember the Indian T90 tanks and T72 tanks are a watered down version of the ones sent into Ukraine. No APS of any sorts and also Indian crews manning the tanks instead of Russian crews. Pakistan might not have the Javelin or NLAW but the Kornet is more than enough to deal with Indian T90 tanks and the BS can deal with the T72 tanks that india fields (t72m1 i believe).
But artillery still rules the battlefield evidently. Glad Pakistan has invested heavily into SP guns and also UCAVs. ATGMs could do with some more investments tho
Are Russians deliberately showing a weaker image of themselves to NATO ?Russia has found the formula
its from the old Soviet book called the Soviet steamroller
from WWII, bring in heavy artillery and move forward the mechanised and infantry units inch by inch metre by metre
it took 4 weeks to take Mariupol, 4 days to take Severodonetsk and 4 hours to take Lysychansk
this completes the entire Luhansk which is 50% of the Donbas
tonight Russia is on the outskirts of Siversk and going to take both Slovyansk and Kramatorsk this will essentially give them the whole of the Donestk completing the whole Donbas
next what happens?
personally I dont think Russia will stop, they may even push onto Odessa and cross the Dinepier river
Nato couldn't take Afghanistan's rural areas in 20 years of occupation against herders. Russia is showing NATO how to destroy an enemy with brutal force. Last major US war that was fought with carpet bombing was in Vietnam. Ukraine really need to change tactics and stop fighting in trenches while voluntarily being enveloped by Russian Artillery fire. America/NATO hasn't fought a peer since Korean War, and the sight of a brutal Russian Assault might be sending chills across Europe, and we still haven't seen any major offensive weapons(fighters and missles that can hit russia) by NATO to Ukraine yet. So respect for the Russians among NATO leadership remain despite media hoopla.Brings in the observation if LATs/HATs should have a drone squadron. This serves two purposes:
1. LATs were conceived as Recon elements of the division with jeeps as eyes and ears of the division while drones are excellent at recon being eye in the sky.
2. LATs were the anti-tank battalion of the division where as UCAVs are the ATGM carriers in the sky.

I can only imagine why, I am sure China and Russia will buy it on the black market for a fistfull of dollars. LOL
Consolidating ground is alright but how would you explain massive Russian losses ?Nato couldn't take Afghanistan's rural areas in 20 years of occupation against herders.

You keep changing your narrative, please state Russian losses that you seem to be alluding to and where those figures come from and how that impact the war?Consolidating ground is alright but how would you explain massive Russian losses ?
Yes, two actors become the president of the county, Zelensky and Reagan. But they are different from Hu Jintao.well i knew a country that allow a comedian become the leader , now that I think in fact I knew two country &
1. i didn't change my narrative as I never had one.You keep changing your narrative, please state Russian losses that you seem to be alluding to and where those figures come from and how that impact the war?
Provoke or don't want the russians to see this systems in combat mode and then destroy them?
