"People can't be that stupid, can they?"

When people get so invested they get an addicted to confirmation bias, they will hear only what they want to hear.

Then there are those who are deliberately deceptive, like this channel. Finding fake YouTube channels is easy. And fun!

The Military Update channel started Apr 28, 2015. The first video posted on it was on Jan 25, 2024, nine years after the channel started. The channel has 1.63 million subscribers in two months, posting content this bad? Looking at the current Social Blade statistics for the channel, how does a channel get a massive increase in subscribers, followed by sharp drop in views?

This is a fake channel buying subscribers and bots on an algorithm faking views.

As for the captured Western equipment, it misses the bigger picture. Yes, Russia captured a Marauder and Bradley IFV. The Marauder was last produced in 1975. In German service it is getting replaced by the Puma IFV. The M-1 Abrams and M-2 Bradley are still in production. Russia is cobbling together T-54/55s and putting outdated naval automatic cannons and ASW rockets on MTLB tractors to get any useable weapon to Ukraine.

The losses of a few Western tanks and IFVs does not change the bigger picture. The nations giving Ukraine weapons are replacing what they give with new weapons, while the AFU is able to make good on its losses. If the AFU could not make up its losses, they would have lost by now.

Noticed that you dropped the cute little Youcraynian flag in your tagline. Still, you haven't placed an American flag there in its place.

Why do you have Youcraynian gobblediegook in your tagline? This is an English speaking AMERICAN site, not a Youcraynian one.
