He said Ukraine has 10 anti-tank weapons for each Russian tank. Do they really need more?

I think Ukraine is controlled by nazis, and are at best, pawns of the CIA and globalists. But as for the 10 to 1 missile to tank ratio, I would expect that number isn’t unreasonable in a purely military sense. This is because you are not sure -where- all those tanks can appear and cannot rapidly adjust. Sort of the way we had numbers of Anti-sub aircraft, Subchasers and Destroyers out of all proportion to the number of enemy submarines in WWII. The Japanese had 174 ocean going subs, Germany had 1162. Our anti-sub platforms were at least 10 to 1.

That said, I don’t think we should give them any missiles, but if I was a military guy planning their defense, I would want such a ratio to ensure I had missiles sufficient for several contingencies. Of course, that has it’s own problems when giving them to a pervasively corrupt nation.

It’s more of how quickly Russia and China can deplete the US military.
