He didnt include all the other AFVs Russia has (multiply by 3 at least). Also using committed tanks figure, not all those in reserve.
And most shots miss, even ATGMs.
Actual battle always shows that prewar ammo expenditure estimates are always way too low. The classic example is the 1914-15 “shell crisis”.

“why are we sending weapons to a despotic child-smuggling and money laundering country used by the deep state where hunter biden even sat on the board of the national gas co. , where we ALREADY sent weapons last week and the Pentagon claims to have “lost” them?”
Because it is in the US national interest. The United States, and Great Britain before it, are insular powers. We have an interest in preventing a single power from gaining dominance over an undivided Eurasia.
You are welcome to disagree with the concept or intent, but you asked why and I believe that is the answer.
“The problem with Russia is not that it has been imposed upon, but that it imposes on others.”
Question (to Russian Military Cadets): With what countries does Russia share a border?
Right Answer: Any one it wants.
What is the life span of a towed howitzer on a modern battlefield?
Maybe we have to send them for a moral reason, we weren’t an innocent party in all of Ukraine’s corruption. We were involved as a country in all aspects of the suffering being inflicted on the innocent in this country.
This is our penance.
Look at Soros, Biden, Clinton, and Obama. We have been unable to hold them accountable and isolate them from damaging other countries while they poked the bear continuously.
It looks like NATO is ramping up the weapons supply into the Ukraine - From planeloads, to boatloads.
The transport ship Ysabel of the Spanish Navy is on its way to Poland, bringing 200 tons of weapons for Ukraine. Reportedly, a lot of trucks and ammunition in the cargo.
Also, speculation as to destination/cargo of the now underway USNS Soderman, which is normally part of America’s pre-positioned afloat stocks of unit sets of equipment - heavy armor units all loaded up on ships with their initial load of ammo, food, and fuel; ready to deploy quickly (just add people).
Recently, tanks have been flowing into the Ukraine, and reportedly a package of repair parts are enabling the Ukrainian Air Force to put 20 more jets into the air. What had been 18 howitzers from the USA, turns out to have been 100.
Rumor is that NATO is gearing up to supply a long war, at least through the end of the year.
Oh goody. Lockheed Martin, GD, Raytheon must be giddy.
Who knows where this materiel is going. USA probably using it to topple some other country’s govt like we have a penchant for doing.
Hopefully Russia sinks these weapons supply ships and takes the planes down. F this.
Most likely however, is that these ships will reliably dock, unload, and truck through Poland into the Ukraine, where they will kill Russia’s youth, who will be stacked in piles by the thousands, like firewood.
Putin wanted a war to steal more oil and gas reserves, because a $200 billion dollar personal fortune is not enough for him. He will kill as many Russian boys as it takes, and drive the whole rest of the Russian nation into poverty, so that the golden toilets on his yachts can be encrusted with diamonds.
Cities destroyed, millions driven from their homes, torture chambers working around the clock, dumping their victims into mass graves and mobile crematoria.
Putin has earned Russians the label of “orcs”, and a well deserved spot in hell.
After NATO destroys their purpose for existing, the resource and land rich eastern half of Russia is China's for the taking, and they want it. Taiwan is nothing compared to NATO's emerging gift to China.
The first Gulf War was fine. The power vacuum created by the second was a stupid gift to Iran.
Keep believing the commie lies Ivan
I don’t’ believe in Commie lies but reliable facts and your juvenile comments show you don’t know what you are talking about.
Why do they announce this? I find something really doesn’t smell right when you tell people what you are doing in a war situation unless it is released as disinformation. Maybe it is.
Remember when you thought putin would take Ukraine quickly. Why you and everyone else think so. We believed Russians. Once you stop doing that you see the delapedated wheels about ready to come off their house dumpsters fire Russia and its inhabitants are. Hypersonic, whatever these people are afraid to take their tanks off road.
They will either come out or starve in that steel plant. The Uke troops are man depleted even though we hear no Uke troops have died in all of this war but citizens have./s
Makes you wonder why Biden keeps throwing money amd weapons at this mess.
No I never thought that, but I remember when you thought Russian EW weapons were dud rockets. You are not a military mind nor do you understand high-tech or engineering. I’ve expected 6 months to a year for this to end. We’ve been telling you this is a decapacitation op and all you lightweights thought they were trying to conquer the whole country. Military think tanks neve bought into that. Think about all the aid and money Z is asking for. People who are winning never ask for that.
It is time for you weak minded folks to stop being distracted by this and look what is happening here internally. Have you notice how many food processing plants have been destroyed here in this country in the last month? Wake up and smell the coffee.
Mmm coffee making some now. Yeah we were talking about Russia now you talking about food processing my simple mind can’t follow. Russia sucks they always have that you can’t see that oh well. I enjoy watching this show motion suicide and could care less about wharever else big picture thing you, obviously a towering intellectual are wringing your hands about. Does it make it difficult to clutch your pearls while wringing you hands?
I know what I am talking about because of what I do for a living and have done so for 37 years and continue to do so at a level that is beyond your comprehension. Your knowledge shows you may have 37 hours reading about military news and that is generous. What do you do for a living? I have to get back to work know and help preserve freedom even for the likes of you. Which believe it or not I’m starting to regret doing so.
You say that to yourself every morning in the mirror to yourself? Believe it yet?
I know what I do and have done for this country and have the proof. I could care less WTF you think or say. You are a POTAHOM.
