Every wonder how US came up with 1200 estimated tanks at onset of war?

US estimated Russia had 120 BTGs around Ukraine. Each BTG has 10 tanks. Thus 1200 tanks.

It’s all over Speedy, except for a new US taxpayer Marshall Plan that will rebuild Zelenskyy’s vassal state.

Russian military machine never breaks...unless used.

Russians taking heavy losses.

They announced today that they are redeploying troops away from Kiev to the East.

Ukraine needs to ambush that retreat and make them pay.

Not every BTG has 10 tanks. There are varieties - some tank heavy, others mechanized Infantry heavy. Maybe they had some with more of an Artillery or Engineer orientation, or other more specialized purpose.
