The West is poised to send nearly 200 battle tanks to Ukraine in a potential hammer blow that could help Kyiv win its war against Vladimir Putin...It brought the total number of tanks Kyiv can expect to have at its disposal to nearly 200, with potential for more...Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, said the new tank deliveries "would bring nothing good to the future relations".

If you’ve stopped your enemy, a few tanks might send them the other way.
NATO is looking to take a lot of notes.
September 2023, the US finds out why they should have left Russia alone. Not my wish, but it is the WEF’s wish. Putin is a Schwab minion, they have warned us. The winner will be....NOBODY...
You would think that.
Maybe Iran can sell them some F4s.
interesting link...👍👍👍
Nice rant.
Exactly why do you want the Russians to win and occupy Ukraine?
And how will you feel when your brothers, cousins, friends are getting their legs blown off on a daily basis during the occupation?
I will feel good about that.
You tell 'em, Mr. Soros!
“Putin is a Schwab minion”
I don’t think that Schwab has any “minions”, but Putin and many of those people certainly have been on the same page for many years. Putin has been financing German politicians and environmental activists for a long time.
Income taxes in Russia are 13%, and they are 18% in Ukraine. Maybe the Ukrainians need to rethink things(?)
True, but doesn’t really matter. Once they get into theater and move on the Russians in formation, Vlad will nuke them. Perfect targets for small tactical nukes. You heard it here first.
The prevailing wind streams favor the Ukrainians as nuclear fallout, even from small tactical poppers will kill thousands of Russian soldiers and citizens. Putin would be assassinated if he orders a nuclear attack.
Thanks ain’t any good without the support units behind them.
They need crews, mechanics, transports etc.
It’s only 200 targets if they permit them to be offloaded...
From what I’m reading Ukraine will be getting tanks that are vastly superior to the Russian T-72’s they will be up against. Assuming that the tankers are well trained, this will tilt the battlefield toward the blue & yellow forces.
Especially when you have men defending hearth and home on one side and HIV infected paroled prisoner slaves attacking on the other. Russia’s fake and Potemkin army always loses anything close to an even fight.
Russia has produced 35,000 of these first rate, man portable ATGMs. And they’re cheap.
They can kill any MBT in the world out to 8,000m.
Syrian “rebels” have killed at least a dozen Turkish Leopard 2s with it.

If Ukraine were winning, NATO tanks would not be needed. Round one, unfortunately, has gone to Russia.
On the contrary. If Russia was winning it would not need help of Death to America Iran to terror bomb Ukrainian civilians and military assistance from some place in Africa called Eswatini. Ukraine has many friendly neighboring countries who a share a dark history of misery and death under the boot of the Kremlin. They know their history and what comes when the Russian World arrives. That, my FRiend, is why Ukraine is getting NATO aid.
These comments about tanks are silly from a tactical military standpoint. Made by armchair generals who don’t know the first thing about military strategy. When you control the air, these tanks will only make great target practice.
It’s been a year and Russia still does not control the air over the Ukraine battlefield. How long should I plan on waiting? These comments about the greatness of a fake Russian army are “silly.” It is as corrupt and incompetent as the rest of Russian society. All it is capable of is destruction and mass murder in their usual Nazi manner.
They tried but Ukrainians air defense from ground based units was taking them out apparently their comm is crap and their guidance systems are so bad they were using their cell phones for navigation.
Commercial GPS, too. There was a hilarious photo early in the war of a Garmin GPS taped to the instrument panel of a SU-34.
They’ll just ship the tanks to Poland for repair. Poland has been busy for months ordering and setting up M1 infrastructure. I expect Ukraine will mostly be using Leopards in the end, anyway. American tanks are just political cover for Germany.
Any tank can be destroyed, but Turks were completely incompetent in their use. Leopard 2 is an excellent tank.
After the first hit, the Turkish crews, who were supposed to be experienced and well-trained, froze in fear and did nothing to stop the second missile from hitting them. The only thing they did was panic and try to cover away from enemy fire, but they seem to forgot to save their tanks.
In almost all cases, there was no suppressive fire from the other tanks or armored vehicles, and they didn’t even try to remove the Leopard-2A4 tanks or turn on the smoke screens. The Turkish tanks that had not been struck did not return a single shot, as a result of which they were bombarded with anti-tank missiles one after another.
