They will win if they start using T-34s.
Well, that’s it then. Time for the massed Ukrainian armies to drive on to Moscow for final victory.
Here is a video of the transporting of them.

Unearthed and dusted off after hundreds of years!
Well… um.. they can’t be tracked by whatever spchinese tracking device is in the new ones. If it’s like everything else, the new kids can’t drive them, which is probably okay because they don’t feel like adulting tofsy or maybe ever.
YEAH......RIGHTTTTTT.
Do the BS evah stop!???
They were reportedly doing this 8 months ago for supply trucks. And they pulled out their WWI tanks 8 months ago too.
Well if they are still running they would have been manufactured before communism did its worst to Soviet manufacturing. I’m not going to sneer at WWII vintage tanks.
The tanks have been retrofitted to launch assault-shovels.

Ukraine will oppose them with grandmothers armed with the best broomsticks available.
So, tanks the United States paid for?
Next they’ll be saying Russia has to use 100 year old bolt-action rifles.
For an amazing, well done, and completely true depiction of the Ukraine / Russia history, PLEASE find and watch the movie Mr. Jones. It is the true story of Gareth Jones, one of the bravest persons who did not pick up a gun, but refused to lie. At first he was fascinated by the economic figures coming out of the Soviet Union in the early 1930’s. He managed to get to the Ukraine in the middle of the Terror Famine. The evil New York Times Duranty is portrayed perfectly, as are the Soviets. It is on Prime right now, and probably elsewhere.
If you wonder how Putin reaches around the world to kill people, watch the movie.
It seems like the only country winning here is China. They are basically disarming their two biggest world rivals. We’re using up our reserves supplying/fighting a war with no national interest at stake and Russia is down to pulling old crap from the far east. Who might the Russians be facing off against in the far east?
Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for March 23, 2023:
- Russian forces continue encircling the fortified cities of Bakhmut and now Avdeevka, two major points along Ukraine's defense line in the Donbass;
- Ukraine is gearing up for its upcoming offensive, carrying out drone strikes on Crimea and reconnaissance by force along the line of contact in Zaporozhye;
- the stated goal of Ukraine according to Western reports is to cut the land-bridge between Crimea and the rest of Russia, though that would hardly isolate Crimea entirely;
- Ukraine would suffer immense losses, just as they did during the Kharkov /Kherson offensives last year, with the addition of many more Russian troops and extensive defensive works created months in advance;
- The US and EU are surging remaining stockpiles of artillery ammunition to Ukraine ahead of the offensive to sustain 2-4 months of intense fighting. Once depleted it will take years for the West to restore these stockpiles;
- Russian shell production appears to have exceeded Western output as early as 2014-2015 and has continuously increased since meaning Russia's ability to regenerate combat power exceeds the West's at this moment;
Urban renewal?
T-54s were designed in the 1940s but were in service for a very, very long time, into the 1980s.
