I assume it was not Americans that used an American tank to destroy a Russian tank. The Ukes?

Doesn’t matter.

This is an act of aggression by the US against Russia. Demento Joe is going to get us into war.

During the Korean War and Vietnam the Russians not only supplied weapons, jets, and money but Russians also did some fighting and killing of Americans.

Russia, China, and the Middle East.
Luckily our border is squared away, military recruitment is going swimmingly, and our economy and manufacturing exceed expectations…

But hey, Ukraine is winning because one tank and eggs.

There is a constant litany of videos of Russian this and that’s getting it by one means or another. That sort of thing is, in part, the basis of claims by the Uke MOD and Oryx.

The sum of this is significant as it demonstrates constant attrition of Russian forces. Its also instructive as to the to and fro of the war. And also of the way warfare is changing. The vast increase, and increase in range, in FPV drones for instance.

This one us interesting because of the putative mismatch of Bradley vs T90 and the close range of the armor fight. Definitely not common in this war. It is very interesting video on its own.

I thought the Armata was their most advanced tank.

I think the US has a vastly larger and more heavily equipped Army than it really needs. Most of that equipment would be better used in Ukraine.

Note I didn’t say Air Force or Navy.

Open framing, redundancy and armored crew pods are probably the future.

Most rounds will past through the open frame. Some will take out a redundant element. A small percentage will destroy a manned crew pod.

I suspect Russia doesn’t want a T-14 captured and analyzed by the USA.

Maybe, maybe not. It seems many are pining for war with Iran.

All I care about is closing our border and deporting every single illegal.

On illegals, it seems you are winning that argument. I expect big changes soon. As for deporting them, you still have to change public opinion.

Iran is going to be a naval-air war, if it comes.

Possibly. I’m not sure there are any big secrets to be had though.

I suspect they have not yet worked out a bunch of mechanical bugs.
