A dozen 30 year old tanks that no Ukrainian knows how to operate or maintain is a huge blow?
Well, it is the Daily Mail. 😏
In April 2015, Welt am Sonntag claimed that tungsten (wolfram) rounds used in Leopard 2 cannot penetrate the Russian T-90 or the modernized version of the T-80. They also stated that the German military will develop a new improved round, but it will be exclusively developed for the Leopard 2A7 in development.
Follows a pattern of Ukraine getting all NATO older stuff. Every old Soviet tank still in use in Europe has already been shipped to Ukraine many months ago.
Its an escalation, for sure, but of questionable military impact
But you can be SURE big $$$ will be spent on re-arming Europe and US. Buy defense stocks.
The Russians have stated that they’ll destroy any weapon systems that the US and NATO sends to the Ukraine.
Shush. You’ll ruin the REMF Keyboard Klackers’ fun.
