1,000 is the standard amount of artillery and tanks the Soviets used during WW2 esp. at Kursk. The NVA reportedly used the same number during their final offensive in South Vietnam.
Don’t know the numbers the No. Koreans and Russians used in the initial invasion of So. Korea in 1950 but I’ll bet it was Significant too.
Sorry, just need a moment...
There is a massive domestic surveillance machine in the US modelled off the old East German Stasi. I wrote a ton about my own personal experience with it, as well as where it had made it into the news below. Please check it out, as I would bet it is running surveillance on most Freepers.

Don’t care. Not my monkeys, not my circus.

Trump would be against this crap.

No one is discussing it, so I will.
The article is about fundamental changes in warfare from WWII through today, which comes down to the tank as the main weapon of blitzkreig like, sharp penetrating attacks of force and maneuver being over.
When we think of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Front, Stalin versus Hitler, we focus our memory on this clash of steel, and see it as one of the most formidable forces of warfare on our planet, even today.
But it is not.
That Soviet army is what we have been preparing for since the early 1950s and perfected against with the Air Land Battle plan of the late 1980s.
The air campaign against Saddam Hussien’s Soviet style tank armies was the proof we had found a way. For a force short on Air assets, guided man portable standoff missiles were the way. That ATGM technology has grown leaps and bounds over the past few decades.
The Russians tried to fight Ukraine using the tank army tactics of 1945. That no longer works. They really should have studied our two wars against Iraq more.
