They scaled up. About 90 to 100 a month right now with additional lines being built.
did Ukraine hit the bridge again??
Getting personal now are we?
But here’s something to think about, and this is something I think the person you were responding to was getting at…
Are you familiar with the Christian Just War Theory. Whether you are or not, points 4 and 5 are applicable. The war must have a reasonable chance of success. And the end must be proportionate to the means used.
So, why does that matter? Looking past the propaganda, Ukraine is losing and losing badly, to the point where there may not be a Ukraine left. Negotiations need to start now. Without them young lives are being thrown away to no purpose. And continuing to revel in the violence is evidence of blood lust, not concern for fellow man.
Hmmm. Russia has lost a minimum of 1600 out of its 3300 initial active inventory, based on photo/video counts in the Oryx database.
That has to be multiplied by a factor to account for vehicles lacking photo/video confirmation, of which there must be a good number. I put it at @2000 as a swag for permanent losses. The Ukrainian MOD says over 3000, but we dont have to accept that.
Add to that tanks that are unavailable because they are broken down, are worn and need overhaul, are in transit to overhaul, are in the shop, are waiting to be pulled out of ditches, etc.
That very likely accounts for nearly all the prewar active inventory.
There is no massive tank army waiting to be unleashed on the Ukrainians. There WAS one, back in Feb-March 2022.
” they build an extra hundred a month “
A claim without evidence.
Amen brother Toad. I tip my hat to your wise council. The evil Soviet Empire collapsed and these people keep fighting the last war. I shake my head in disgust for both the young Russian and Ukranian men being slaughtered because of these peoples foolishness. A bloodbath they cheer.
“You are not strong in math or you do little research.”
Much more than you, obviously.
The SR-71 was made for a very niche purpose. Satellites were better. “Best” is circumstantial. Best heavyweight boxer is not the same as best long distance runner or best pistolero.
Tungsten or any other mineral deposits are available according to circumstance. It says nothing about the virtues of those that happen to have it in their territory. Those Gulf Arabs are very clever people of course, to have arranged for all that petroleum.
Joke post?
If you do not respect the SR-71.... sorry for your luck. A plane designed to be leaky at takeoff because it went at those mach numbers with outside temps -60 and skin temps in the 500’s so it literally expanded into its air-frame and designed with slide-rules? Yeah, kid... off with you. Go and watch porn or something.
I mean, seriously, what is this all for? To prop up the Deep State Cabal in Ukraine, their 40-odd bio labs, they money laundering and grift to the bidEn's, their 2014 coup...
I feel awful for the innocent Ukrainians, but they are being used as fodder for a Deep State war against Russia.
Thee is.
And them 30 tanks from America which won't be deceived for months, won't save Ukraine
Enjoyed the first link with a 12 minute discussion from Gen. Petreaus about prospects of Ukraine fighting, and problems faced by Putin and his army.
My idea of living free is not having my money taken from me and spent in
a war that doesn’t matter to me.
Purpose - strategic recon
Satellites - do a better job at strategic recon. Better imaging, lower angst to all concerned, much faster re-scan, much better coverage. Intel guys get way better imaging much, much more timely, and much more of it.
Actual relevant tech - rockets. fantastic optics. digital image processing, advanced telecom and encryption, etc.
You are citing the excellent quality of your old cavalry chargers, and to be sure, horses are very pretty and cool. But still, we use tanks these days.
“did Ukraine hit the bridge again??”
No. Ukraine hit and caused a massive fire at a factory in Belgorod that manufactures bridge parts/ Hopefully Kerch bridge parts too. More at twitter
