…food for thought…North Vietnam and Russia won, sad, but true.The US has not “ won” a war since WW2.
The HOHO "Counteroffensive(TM)" was halted when hohos ran out of empty/undefended territory to conduct it in...
Spring and fall mud have always meant limited mobility in the Rus.
But winter has not.
Once the ground freezes mobility will be restored.
Yeah, sure, our military is so damn inept... Is that what you mean?
I don’t get involved in p*ssing contests.
Whenever ppl talk in absolutes and demand I think the way they do, I use the brain God gave me to do my own research and think for myself. You should try it sometime.
I give the edge to Ukraine because they get arms and equipment from NATO while the Russians got the crappy stuff. They rely on their railroads to get their equipment and if their troops aren't near a track, they're $#it out of luck. Even posted on article on FR about this a while ago.
Then there are these in the mix, the FV103 Spartan (Cheeky British Armored Vehicle is Better Than You Think). It was designed in the 1970s as a second generation armored personnel carrier, armed reconnaissance and light tank. They weight 8 to 10 tons and have a ground pressure of 5 PSI, which is less than a average human footprint. FV103s are know for the exceptional speed and off road mobility. The trade off is, armament for any verison is limited and heavy machine gun can pentrate the armor.
As to how useful they are, Ukraine put them to good use spearheading the Kharkiv offensive. Despite Russian propaganda, Ukraine still has them. Winter does not change that Ukraine is getting really close to having advantageous position over northeastern Ukraine.
LOL! Yeah man. The Russkies see that little troll heading for them they’ll know they’re dead now!
True dat.
Ah, it is the lisper. Please post someone with some scintilla of credibility remaining. This guy knows nothing.
