No country in the world had more of tanks than Russia.
But after a year of all-out war in Ukraine, analysts believe Putin may have lost up to two thirds of his tanks in the largest obliteration of Russian armour since World War Two.
This is the story of how the world’s largest tank army was decimated on the killing fields of Ukraine, and what it means for the future of the war.

Cue the Putlerists here to deny, insult, or otherwise change the subject.
yay for globohomos! Yay for the Biden crime family! Yay for Hunter’s Burisma paycheck!
The Russians and the Chinese have the same approach to war that they have had for centuries. Any cost, human or otherwise, necessary to win is an acceptable cost. The only time that wasn’t true was in WWI, and that was only because Lenin and the Bolsheviks figured it was worth losing the war in order to ensure the revolution—even 100 years ago, the issue was never the issue, the issue was always the revolution.
(Lenin and the Bolsheviks, sounds like a Marxist pop band)
In the modern technological era of AI, pinpoint targeting and drones of many different sorts, not only are land armored vehicles obsolete but so are naval surface combatants. Nor can helicopters or fixed wing aircraft survive over a modern battlefield.
That’s about one a week.
You confuse domestic politics with international events.
Cue the picture of “ Oh Geez Not This Again” guy….
Russia lost 2/3 of its tanks in Ukraine?
Is there any chance that on Easter we can take a break from the paid Ukrainian shills and their constant postings on FR?
“Is it over yet?”
No. The Russians took what should have been a one-month walkover and instead spent the next thirteen months stepping on their own cranks.
As I understand it, the auto loader made sense in the 1980s before cheaper anti tank rockets.
Now they are death traps.
You guys won’t be happy until we have WWIII.
Does this mean I put my wallet back in my pocket?
Does this mean I can tell my wife she can stop planning to send our son out of the country to avoid a draft?
Against an enemy with sophisticated anti tank weapons, a tank is your coffin. Against an unsophiticated enemy it is a deadly beast.
Okay, what ever you say. Odyssey has tons of video of Biden’s welfare gifts getting hunted down….this one is a rather expensive M109 155mm, loads more, from the welfare M777’s to various other western machinery….all getting flushed down the Ukie toilet.

One fact the war cheerleaders have to realize- Russia’s huge manufacturing base is full bore, while the West is scrapping bottom to keep the Ukies afloat.
The Ukies are spent, totally dependent on Western welfare, 50 nations making “donations”, over 3,000 ineffective sanctions, and Vlad keeps going like the Easter battery bunny.
Tanks are nothing but large mobile iron coffins with high explosives inside. Their use by large is obsolete on a modern battlefield. They are embraced big-time for use on domestic uprisings of regular citizens however, which in America is their intended future role.
We are a small club at present. but it is growing. It is understood by a few that 21st century warfare is going to break a lot of corporation rice bowls. Pilots are already obsolete. Ships are slow moving targets. Tanks are death traps. Submarines, even the most silent, are being tracked. Drone warfare is already being fought by joystick centers like Nellis AFB.
Twenty years from now wars will be fought by robots (if we last that long).
More, this one “ notable”, look closely at the hundreds, thousands of shell craters all over the fields, targeting Ukie positions….Vlads hammer isn’t running out of nails.

Words are cheap, especially the collective West’s narrative, I prefer to view maps and video for “ the rest of the story”…..dig deeper, their is even one dated from a few days ago showing a U.S. Bradley meeting it’s glorious end.
Guns do not kill,,,regardless of their size.
People kill people. People who are willing to die kill those not willing to die. People who use guile, strategy and tactics kill those naive to think the guy in the white hat will eventually win.
The fight is for the hearts and minds of people.
