“Well I guess that WWIII has now been cancelled as the Russians are totally unconcerned about the delivery of tanks to Ukraine.”
Sounds like it. Russia must see those tanks as just expensive spit wads.
Game over for us. 😂😂😂
Then they should not be worried ... we should sent more, maybe S Korea will gift a few dozen Black Panther MBTs
Russia has provided Ukraine many more tanks than America is proposing.
Russians leave the tanks where they sit and just run away
Having support is the way it's supposed to work. Unfortunately in war, things often don't always go as planned.
If Abrams tanks may possible create some difficulties on a battle fields but A10 is just a target practice. Slow moving airplane. Easy target for any AA missile.
Today no airgraft can live inside of AA kill zone. SO any airplane battle loads are made the way to give ability to unload it beyond AA kill zone. But this A10 has to enter this zone to get to it targets.
BTW about Himers they also said that it is a wonder weapon but after few months Russia already had learned how to destroy it.
https://t.me/rusarmywin/141 - this clip how how AA machine Pansir shoots down 12 HIMERS missiles (full load of M270!) all together. Pansir also carries 12 AA missiles. Russia had produced tens thousands of them and hundred thousands missiles for it.
31 Abrams?
Tell them to withdraw or we’ll hijack the airwaves and make them watch and listen to the screeching Liberals on THE VIEW 24 hours a day.

It is just ukies propaganda. If it was a case WHY then ukies need American ranks now?
The case is ukies lost all 5500 their tank already. And the last attempt for advance they did using APCs. And was completely killed there and APCs was burnt.
So then they began to cry about new tanks. But what is interesting. Their wants went up and up and they already came to the last western armor. What if this armor will NOT help too? Then what?
And second thought. Providing ukies with new machines bit by bit you just train Russian army to destroy it. If it was a massive usage of new stuff then it could be difficult but this way when they came as tens helps to test on them the different means and update Russian antitank stuff.
Anyways Russian antitank stuff was always designed the way to surely kill the latest western stuff. They say that AbramsM1A2 and Leopard2A7 won’t be difficult. Soon we will know for sure of it.
The reactive armor applied underneath the M1s will greatly enhance their survivability.
Remember how M1s carried the battle in Gulf War 1. They decimated the Russian equipment .
What about all those other advanced NATO systems that destroyed the Russians all those other times in the last year? According to the Biden FR PR team NATO has only been making the Russian rubble bounce since March. This will be the first test of the Abrams on an equally advanced battlefield.
And then what? They can’t be fueled, fixed or re-armed without a base and crew.
You have a crew standing by with a fuel truck and weapons.
To true and the Russians proved that, and war dies sometime necessitate doing what you have to not what you want, but Ukrainians have trained by NATO countries in NATO doctrine for some time and the fact they are being given tanks apcs IFVs SPGs and to the extent possible using air assets both manned and unmanned they are well in their way to combined arms maneuver and combat
Just another point to address what some keep claiming why does Ukraine need more stuff if they are “winning”
The obvious to replace loses, no one says they are not suffering loses, but what is rarely brought up is Ukraine is constantly building up new units, these units need equipment. Just an aside
the Russians don’t want any part of this fight and hate their own leaders. We’ll see,
——-
You are a victim of the corrupted western media. Having worked, lived and trained Vlads, DO REALIZE Vlad has an 85 percent approval rating…. the only huge criticism is asking why he has shown much so much restraint….his top five replacements are calling to turn Ukraine into a huge smoking hole….easily done.
You war cheerleaders are being grossly mislead by western MSM, keep drinking their whiskey, you are headed for one huge hang over.
So history repeats, Russians will enjoy destroying the German tanks, target them, hunt them down…for WW2’s sake….. how many Ukie Leopards will have the Ukie Azov Nazi emblems painted on them?
I can’t wait to see this debacle unfold.
A good first-hand account of American M1A1s vs Russian T-72s is found in this pdf, "The Battle of 73 Easting," by President Trump's former National Security Adviser, H.R. McMaster, who was in command of a Armored Cavalry Troop and a Captain at the time:
I like how people speak of Russian losses in Ukraine, when after Vietnam and Bush’s 10 year long compassionate war in Iraq, which cost the U.S. 3+ trillion in American treasure, where we won NOTHING but death and debt....And now were doing the same thing once again. Over and over and over.
One of my mgrs was an M1 commander in that battle.
He assures me, first hand, we totally cleaned their clocks.
It’s not the tanks. It was the crews, training and combined forces. Helll the marines I’m M-60s killed Iraqi tanks well enough. Way too many here think 31 M1A1 tanks will make a difference. Anyone else think the uke military might just force the Kiev bureaucracy out?

Will this armor withstand the hit of “hitting kernel” of this mine: https://youtu.be/ZLQL0PS8gCM . They are widely used in this war.
