W-80 armed TLAMs to Ukraine, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania NOW!!!
“The counteroffensive will be the biggest test yet of the U.S.-led strategy of giving the Ukrainians weapons and training to fight like an American army might — but on their own.”
An “American army” doesn’t have 29 year old Brigade Commanders. There is a reason it takes 20 plus years to train a maneuver Brigade Commander.
For that matter it takes years to develop a Bradley Fighting Vehicle Commander: Maintenance, gunnery (TOW II, 25mm cannon, 7.62mm MG’), Maneuver as single vehicle, section/Platoon movement,coordination with supporting arms Tanks, Artillery, Air Support, etc...just off the top of my head.
I’m just a bit skeptical that all these NATO weapons systems and maneuver doctrine that take months/years to master are suddenly going to be executed by 20-something volunteers...
But, they do look cool in their battle rattle.
