The U.K. Is Giving Ukraine Hundreds Of Armored Vehicles. Russia Has A Plan For Wrecking Them.
Forbes via MSN ^ | 1/17/2022 | David Axe, Forbes Staff

Posted on 01/16/2023 9:17:15 PM PST by RomanSoldier19

he United Kingdom isn’t just sending Ukraine a small batch of surplus Challenger 2 tanks. It’s planning to donate hundreds of armored vehicles and self-propelled howitzers. Enough equipment for a whole brigade.

But the Russian government knows this—and it’s planning to spoil the Ukrainian offensive with an offensive of its own.

Does it ever give you pause that you are cheerleading a war brought to you by the WEF Davos crowd?

Does it ever give you pause that you are cheerleading giving concessions to and/or rewarding Putin's Russia - a country that has thousands of nuclear-tipped missiles pointed at us?

Anything that degrades Russia's already discredited military potential and further reduces the size of its army is to be welcomed.

What I find fascinating is all the people who talk about these countries donating/selling military hardware to Ukraine are gutting their militaries by sending this stuff, well isn’t this what the stuff was for? If it was made for a fight with Russia and there is a fight with Russia seems like it is being used for its purpose.

Well said! Bravo!

Regards,

“ Considering the retards in the Russian Ministry of Defense have already begun claiming to have destroyed armor that hasn’t even arrived in Ukraine yet, along with wiping out all 4 of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and all of Ukraine’s Death Stars, I suspect their “plan” is a bunch of PR bulls*it.”
*********************************************************************

Absolutely. Everybody knows that the Russians are completely incapable of destroying Armor. Unlike the Ukrainians, who NEVER engage in it, the Russians are masters of Propaganda and Public Relations. So they obviously have no military plans that are not entirely fiction. Let us continue to fight to the last Ukrainian. /sarc

AFAIK, the WEF doesnt have nukes pointed at us. Russia does.

Ergo, Russia is an enemy.

I wonder how fast our industrial complex could turn and begin production of military weapons, as we did after Pearl Harbor.

As does China who is a far greater threat. You are a neocon stuck in the past and hating on RuZZZZZZia because they are not into the globohomo agenda and one world government.

How many Ukrainians need to die to win a war with Russia?

All of them.

A price the parasites in DC and the capitals of the West are willing to pay.

Yep, the numbers of dead, maimed, widowed, orphaned Ukrainians and Russians does NOT matter. The only thing that matters is the CONTINUING FLOW OF MONEY!

Who is %#@$! Is dumb enough to trust China's admitted nuclear weapons count?

"It is useless to throw good armor into the fight without the combined arms level of support for those tanks. Infantry as the eyes and ears, artillery and drones, and especially air support....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The reason the Soviets ultimately were driven out of Afghanistan was ... Stingers. American-supplied, shoulder-fired, anti-aircraft missiles.

The Russian's combined arms aspect broke down when the Muj got Stingers because the close air support aircraft wouldn't fly into known or suspected MANPADS (and anywhere there wasn't a "known" threat still was suspect).

Without CAS, the armor wouldn't leave the motor pool. Without armor support, the infantry wouldn't leave the barracks.

Russians apparently are slow to catch on because the reason their armor units have suffered so many devastating, humiliating, high-profile losses in the Ukraine ... was lack of combined arms support.

Most likely they are overstating.

Russia is the one power with nukes pointing at us that is causing problems right now. No need to get in chinas face.

Only an idiot would want to pick a war with a massive nuclear power that has an understandable, if not totally justifiable, casus belli in that it is a Slavic civil war with a breakaway province that was part of Russia since 1783.

The Biden Regime must be looking to reduce the world population by nuclear fire.

Since Russia has had its elite tank divisions completely eliminated, they have nothing to crow about even if Russia were to be able to hurt a few dozen Ukraine tanks.

Dumb article.

You will be one of the first Freepers to say bullshit like "radiation isn't all that bad for you" and "I like eating bugs."

Sad
