9 more tank losses! I still think tank losses are a good proxy for how this war is going. RuZZia’s new offensive is a smashing failure.

Vuhledar, again.

“Two Russian T-80BV tanks were taken out of action by Ukrainian AT mines in quick succession in the vicinity of Vuhledar, #Donetsk Oblast.”:

“tank losses are a good proxy for how this war is going”

February has already exceeded January.

I guess that the charge of the mobniks will continue bleeding away Russian tank (also Aviation and Artillery) assets at an accelerated rate, until the start of the Spring mud season. The sickening rate of Russian Infantry losses may well continue through the mud.

After the mud, multiple Russian crises should be cracking in new and more serious ways; in their combat capabilities, finances and economy. When the Ukrainian counter attack occurs after the mud season, there will likely be another big harvest of Russian armor, after which, they will likely enter phases of the war where they no longer have a deep bench of replacement combat platforms to draw on for replacements. They will have to increasingly rely on lower tech weapons, while the Ukrainians continue upgunning to NATO weapons.

2023 looks like a much, much worse year for Russia than 2022.

The other vehicles are even worse next we will see old US Halftracks and bren gun carriers

Seeing the videos of tanks driving around tanks that just ran over mines and running over another is brilliant tactics and training

Almost as good as the hoards of men running across open fields

Reminds me of the scene in galipoli where the Turks are yelling at the Brits to not attack because they are all being mowed down by machine guns

Immigration Ukrainians will not be saying that

Seems to me they need some chain guns

@bayraktar_1love 5h
The Ukrainian military has already started Leopard 2 training in Poland.

So far, 105 Ukrainian military personnel have arrived in Poland, including 21 tank crews, as well as technical personnel for tank maintenance.
