Destruction of the AFU column with Leopard 2 tanks

Today, footage of repulsing yesterday’s enemy attack in the Zaporozhye direction appeared on the Web. A column of about 10 tanks, armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles advanced on Russian positions at the Rabotino-Verbovoye line from Malaya Tokmachka, but was stopped by fire from the RF Armed Forces.

Part of the equipment was blown up by mines and was abandoned by the crews. Others were hit by artillery and ATGM crews in forest plantations along country roads and in fields.

“Destruction of the AFU column with Leopard 2 tanks”

Who cares. We are the Arsenal of Democracy!
So, take that Putin!!! We Neocons will NEVER be defeated!!!

Hmmm...wasn’t that 80 years ago? Come to think of it, we WERE the Arsenal of Democracy.

Oh well, win some, lose some. Perhaps, if we ask real nicely, China will build us a boatload of Main Battle Tanks?

Hmmm, oh yeah, the Neocons TOTALLY PISSED OFF China by goading them over Taiwan...so no hope there.

Maybe it’s best we try to find a way to end this war?

...just speculating

The horrendous Ukie losses need to be mentioned. As of a day ago, 52 Tanks, 220 armored vehicles ( video confirmation of US M113’s, Bradley’s, Strykers, etc) , scores of US Humvees, French wheeled tanks,…..and the count is increasing. The most current clobbering shows 79 tanks, including a few Leopard 2’s…

As in the past, Ivan is giving great effort into hunting down the collective West’s welfare weapons, with great success. The “ reduction” begins in Western Lvov areas and the closer to the Eastern front intensifies.

No less than 60 Ukie ammo and arms depots across Ukraine have been obliterated in the past three weeks-many containing further Armor that was set aside for their spring, summer, whenever “ Great Offensive”.

It is clear the Ukies are spent, and even if managing a breakthrough, will be unable to support it, supply it, exploit it or hold it- simply unsustainable. A simple addition, subtraction equation.

Do remember Vlads prior service call up of 350,000 men, less than 70,000 have been deployed to front lines....that leaves by conservative estimates at least another 200,000 plus to manage any breakthrough.

Russia's had nine months getting ready for Ukraines counteroffensive....who said they did not have everything they need to pull this off so they might pin prick here and there but likely Russia has planned for that.
