Why not “show off” your weapon by using it in battle
—————
Speaking of showing off weapons, I am getting alittle upset of all the US and western equipment videos being destroyed in Ukraine. Smoldering heaps of Leopards, Bradley’s, Humvees, M113s, M777’s, MRAPS….the Leopard death count is now over 19, Bradley’s approaching 30.
A consolation prize? Our DOD just announced no more Bradley’s to be welfared away ( they sent 190 per DOD weapons package data), so instead decided to send more Strykers to their graves.
So much for the western wonder weapons, maybe we can chalk up the massive waste to operator error?
Looks like they're holding back the British Challenger-2 from use in combat since there hasn't been any reports of their getting destroyed or captured. An intact French AMX-10 was on display in Mariupol.
