Equipment in war is always a matter of:
New weapon leads to new countermeasure which leads to improvement on original weapon which leads to new countermeasure on and on and on.
Tankers were using steel fencing to stop antitank rockets during the Vietnam War.
War is also a matter of money.
The Ukrainians have spent very little money developing new weapons to fight a potential enemy.
They have relied on Western taxpayers to pay to protect them.
Roooskie generals should be riding in every tank. The only thing getting BBQed are..... I feel sorry for these raw stupid Roooskie recruits and conscripts. War is hell and death and getting permanently maimed and crippled.
