But maybe all those (over 1,000 I think) IFVs and AFVs will overwhelm Russian defenses on their own.

I am no expert but have a feeling this Russian vehicle is no match for the Swedish C90s above.
"The outskirts of Bakhmut Russian terrorists continue to burn down residential buildings of local residents..."
I personally know nothing, but some on here have called them effective tank killers so hopefully yes. However, I am not sure they effectively replace tanks for certain tasks. What those tasks are, I don’t know.

Surprised he "committed suicide" by a gunshot wound to the head, and did not suffer yet another gravitational death "accident".

All those labs in Ukraine did not go to waste!
Graphic warning to Russia. Dead bodies.
Might be time to reinstate heads on pikes.
Wow. For them to do that they must of have had incredible intel on who was in those buildings. Fingers crossed for the KIA update tomorrow!
Yep, one can hope.
I love that half Ukraine half USA flag in the tweet. @Moral, can I get that as the background instead of green, for my Moral MS Paint masterpiece of Bo Jackson breaking an ISU bat over his head?

"Col Vadim Boiko, who was involved in Putin’s mobilisation of new recruits, was found dead with gunshot wounds in a suspected suicide in November.
His widow said he “executed” himself with five gunshots in the chests after allegedly being blamed for some of the problems plaguing Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine."
It is hard to imagine it took 5 shots to the chest to kill himself.
Agree. It’s awesome.
I'll put cursor to screen as soon as I kick this rona all the way. Maybe tomorrow.
I should make a 🇺🇸/🇷🇺 one for some of your Russian minded bots.
We see what you did there, Mr. Trendsetter.
Moldova has been in the news a lot. Russia seems to be attempting to overthrow the government. Russia has 1500 troops in a breakaway portion of Moldova bordering Ukraine. Not enough to really cause the Ukrainians much concern militarily, but it could be used for intel and general s*** disturbing. Interesting note I saw on TV this morning that Moldova has 20,000 tonnes of Soviet era munitions in their stockpile. That might be part of Putin's play, trying to keep that out of Ukrainian hands. Plus, he just likes to see stuff burn.

I wonder if Ukraine has their sights set on that stash otherwise I would have thought it would have had a smoking accident by now
IIRC Macron has said they want Russia to leave Moldova alone, at some point last year.
Good read. I really feel like we should strike a deal with Poland for them to pass along aircraft. The orcs are prolly gonna go all out before the rapidly approaching thaw and my guess is air superiority will be needed.
