This guy is on Fox News a lot and he is very reasonable. He seems to understand that America can't and will not send troops to Ukraine but can help. His analysis here is pretty amazing and speaks from expiernce.

Without air support there is no way to win a large tank battle today.

I enjoyed the article … it seems very pragmatic and offers reasonably possible outcomes and not a bunch of Hail Mary rah rah or unwarranted doom.

Hopefully, the world of people who love their children will see that conflicts such as this are losers, even if you ‘win’.

Ironically, the powers that show that they can be the most warlike are in the best position to secure peace. Please keep our leadership wise and our capabilities stronger than anyone want to tangle with.

Gen Zhukov in the battle of Kursk was the biggest tank battle ever, and will be, but this could be interesting...

If only Ukraine had just one squadron of A-10s.....

“1. America’s overriding priorities are first, to ensure the war doesn’t expand beyond the Ukrainian borders and escalate into a U.S. or NATO on Russia conflict”

Maybe.

“2. and second to assist in finding ways to end the war as soon as possible.”

Nice try.

It won’t be a tank vs tank battle, it will be artillery (tube and rocket) vs artillery.

Armored vehicles will just go into the beaten zone for mopping up and consolidating gains.

“Saker” is clearly slanted, but a lot of information is here:

As long as armed drones are flying, tanks are death traps. The age of tanks is done. The infantryman armed with ATGMs has become the new longbow-man of the ages. The ukes have adapted using drones for artillery strikes with great precision. Don’t forget, Russia doesn’t have access to GPS satellites. They must do everything with map and compass.

Whatever the clown DC insider analysts declare on US mainstream media - its highly likely the Russians will do the opposite.

The Ukrainians are going to be squashed like cockroaches. This has been coming for weeks while the idiots in the media focused on Kiev, which the Russians weren’t even thinking of invading.
