“It will take both sides a significant amount of time to mass the supplies and warm bodies necessary to feed into the meatgrinder that will determine the victor of this conflict.”
The Ukraine has the arsenal of Democracy at their disposal. Anti-tank missiles flowing by the thousands, right off the shelf out of inventory, from more than a dozen other countries.
Everyone would rather fight Russia in a proxy country, than wait for Russia to get around to them.
Firstest with the mostest advantage was to Russia initially, but one little Javelin equals one huge main battle tank and its crew, so the effect of the massive flow of anti-tank weapons from outside is further magnified in its effects.
I think it will be like when machine guns and rifles were introduced against the old Infantry formations that used to march into battle all neatly lined up. Mechanized forces like Russia’s are big targets for these missiles, and they are easily found by drones, and with a hostile population reporting their every move.
Month Two: the collapse of Russian armor.
Send more Javelins.

This “kid” lived in Donetsk and was forced into the DNR/LNR army. Looks like 16,17 years old. Now POW.
The Ukes need many high altitude THAAD batteries. And int from us.
Agreed on the Javelins, etc.

(Using a Ukrainian made ATGM, I believe. Lugged around in a Chevy Aveo!)
The back story on the operator, Tetyana Chornovol, is pretty amazing. Not exactly the girl who winked at ya’ at the sports bar. A bit controversial, but, it goes with the territory. Pooty has really stepped in it.

I do believe she may be pro 2A. A bit over the top, perhaps.
