I hope they have a reverse gear.
Recon vehicle not really a tank, nice gun.
I am thinking that a ATGM “carrier” type of vehicle would be useful.
Better pray it’s not from Peugeot.
better than walking
Emmanuel Macron has a wargasm. Do I really need to know about it?
if rumors are true they will need every single piece of kit
According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Russians have 10,000 tanks and 8,500 armored vehicles in storage
You can be sure - if Macron is doing something highly public, it is purely for show.
no probably not
I might be incorrect, but it’s my understanding they haven’t mobilized the vast majority of their forces, right?
Macron must have put down the Yellow Vests at home, and freed up some armor.
I vividly remember that line.
The movie was odd to me though.
I felt odd watching Jean Reno and Natalie Portman’s roles.
Felt a bit creepy to me.
“Russians have 10,000 tanks and 8,500 armored vehicles in storage”
Sure, but “in storage”, for Russia, often means “rusting in a field somewhere after being stripped of necessary parts”. And “tanks and armored vehicles”, for Russia, can mean something built in 1942.
“Felt a bit creepy to me.”
Then do yourself a favor and never watch the director’s cut. They left a bit of creepiness on the cutting room floor to try not to offend American sensibilities.
I won’t. Thanks for the heads up.
Are they equipped with a White flag?
