"Ugledar direction. Disposal of the T-72 along with the crew."
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

"Meanwhile, somewhere in Russia... 57 mm S-60 anti-aircraft guns pulled out of the depths of storage, on their way to the front."
Go NATO!
"Meanwhile in Latvia. The war machine is gaining momentum and must stop before it's too late! The globalists' war card has been played. The Cabinet should be ashamed!!"

Russia is basically going to just throw by bodies at this until they win or lose. I heard a Russian say that he thinks the tipping point for Russia is 500,000 men, which is insane.
It may come fast the way things are going due to lack of training and weapons. I still pray a mass surrender is end game. The biggest issue Russia faced BEFORE this war was massive population decline. This war is going to undo the country.
Not that I ever doubt that these numbers are way off but I heard this on two different news sources today. Russia sucks.
"The 72nd Brigade is one of the skilled assault brigades of the Ukrainian army, located at #Vugledara ."

As I have said before, even if the numbers are off by half they are stunning. If yesterday’s 1000 is only 250 that is still stunning and unsustainable for Russia.
Have seen this several times but not sure it is recent-some possible greenery?
Get em' while you can-future collectors items!
This appears to be real-pilot training!
Pretty good article about the M1 Abrams and why it's still a very formidable MBT.
Urban fighting modifications from lessons learned in Iraq is pretty interesting...
Ukraine won't get these for a while but they're pretty important for Ukraines future if they get them in numbers IMO.

That is interesting. The US is building versions without the secret armor and other technologies so it may be over a year before any get to Ukraine. (We have around 5,000-do we really not already have older ones that are basic enough to send.)Pretty good article about the M1 Abrams and why it's still a very formidable MBT.

I was wondering that as well. I'd think we have have a bunch of M1's in "war reserve" that we could probably spare. Haven't really dug up anything on that end though...
Maybe we keep updating the old stuff so well we don't really have any "dumb" enough to send
To be fair, the Leopards are supposed to be closer to what they need anyway. And I hope the West sends some running models quickly. As far as we know Canada has the only Leopard already in country though I suspect Poland will get them there as quickly as they can train the crews.

Germans build beautiful armor and Russians build beautiful aircraft. (IMO)
I've heard some people suggest that moving some of our old equipment would benefit the US. Basically we have stuff we don't really want maintain and that this would actually be a way to get rid of it.
The missile has a range of approximately 560 km (300 nmi; 350 mi). It is powered by a turbojet at Mach 0.8 and can be carried by the now retired RAF Tornado GR4, Italian Tornado IDS, Saab Gripen, Dassault Mirage 2000 and Dassault Rafale aircraft.

Mostly a Russian with a bloody head. You can hear Ukrainian bullets whizzing by.
All our reserves are under legal export restrictions because they have the top secret depleted uranium armor. So while it would be ideal immediately send some of the 3000 Abrams in our reserve, we can only send the export version, and since Poland and others have already ordered hundreds of those, it will take awhile to get them built and sent over.
I agree though the Leopard 2's diesel engine and other simpler systems are better suited to Ukraine's needs and maintenance ability.
