And these 35,000 Kornets have as yet failed to destroy the Ukrainian army. Also the 20,000 ex-Soviet tanks are nowhere to be seen. And the RuAF likewise.
“And these 35,000 Kornets have as yet failed to destroy the Ukrainian army.”
Ukraine has not launched an armored assault. They are infantry centric...soon to have a division of mechanized infantry.
The Kornets are of little use against anything besides armored vehicles. And if one of those gets within 5,000yards, kaboom.
The Kornet can take out any tank in the world. Which is no big deal anymore, as there are at least a half dozen cheap ATGMs that can too.
My point is that whatever number of Leopards Ukraine gets, it’s highly unlikely to make a difference considering the scale of hostilities.
