Damn... Imagine being a Russian tank crew member in this war

[MAXX]

Just an open target for drones. I don't understand why ground vehicles and infantry are even used anymore with modern tech and drones.. just sitting ducks....

Tanks are sitting ducks in modern warfare.

[MAXX]

for sure.

I'm not sure why the Russian keeps insisting on just sending billions of dollars equipment + russians to their death. Pretty pointless. Should just spend it all on their air force.

In WW2 they lost more men than all the other countries combined

When I was in Poland an American said shit SA won that war

Needless to say the English guys there weren't too happy with this boast

Well, on a positive(?) note... there will be a lot of hot single russian women and widows in Russia coming years that will need our erhh.... support.

Tanks are sitting ducks in modern warfare.

New Western ones are 10 million usd each
Obese 70 ton heaps of steel
Sink through bridges and overpasses. Also way too heavy for soft terrain.
Need endless amounts of fuel
Difficult to repair
3 or 4 man crew
Lots of maintenance
Problematic to transport (Ukrainian tank transporters were built for lighter weight Russian tanks. The Obese Western ones destroyed the transporters).

Long ago tanks without air cover were an expensive way of suicide. Now tanks without total drone protection are a very expensive way of suicide.

Most vulnerable part of any main battle tank are the tracks. Hit one of the track with a 1500 usd RPG and it's game over for the Main Battle Tank. Crew gets out, and then it is a matter of time before cheap artillery hits it.

Even the most advanced tanks in the world cannot deal with a 1960s mine. Does not even need to be a heavy anti tank mine. As long as one of the tracks is ripped off the tank becomes a sitting duck.

This

Instead of Tanks and Infantry

Send in Stealth Bombers to bomb Kyiev and send a barrage of those Hypersonic Missiles

Tsar Bomba 3.0 etc

Russia has thousands of old tanks parked in abandoned places. They did a quick refurbish of them and send them no war. Maybe 1 in 10 will cause some damage to Ukraine. Human casualties are the least of their worries.

Most experts say Russia defeated the Nazis in WW2 for the Allies.

Germany lost the war because they went to Russia first, the weather killed the Germans

For a nonmilitary observer it does seem like insanity to send more and more troops into a meatgrinder, often where you know they will all die. My brother watches the videos coming from there all day and he says the troops are often told 'today you are going to die.' On both sides. Suicide missions all day long. But all military experts say you absolutely have to have 'boots on the ground' so I don't know. Just seems so cruel and such a waste, and you know the poorest and most disadvantaged are sacrificed first, completely expendable.

A lot of them are not conscripts. They are professional soldiers (there for a paycheck) or convicts, who enlisted to commute their sentences.

Fuck them.

Logistics killed them.
I have met a few German WW2 vets over the years.
Mainly in the 90s.
I shared a hospital room with two Stalingrad Vets.
One was dying of cancer but still spoke to me, the other sat daily at a table and ate with me.
What they told me was horrific to say the least.
They respected that I was ex military so spoke openly.
One thing was which stuck in my mind was that they didn't hate the Russians.

My wife's Grandfather was also in Russia and his best friend joined the French Foreign Legion and visited him until his death.
I also had a neighbour who served in the German U-Boats.
My two sons he liked & they were often in his Garden.
It's  a funny old world.

Sure alot of that. But many of the tanks and missile launching vehicles are pretty modern and many 50-200 million dollar each of those in the video destroyed fairly easily. But yes the russians must have this mindset of the japanese kamikaze pilots, because that's basically what they're doing

Could also be a tactic in support of a larger strategy.

Create a large very obvious target over here, draw enemy resources to it.... and away from the actual mission over there.

what's your reasoning for siding with Russia?
just being a contrarian to be cool, that sort of deal?

Russia is against the homosexual, and transgender agenda and not actively suppressing Caucasians because they are White. The West has become anti-White and corrupt. If Russia fails and is destroyed the globalist, anti-nationalist agenda will succeed.

You need nationalism in order to have diversity of nations and people. Whites in the UK and Europe. Blacks in Africa. Asians in Asia. That's what makes the world interesting. Mixing it all together in one mulatto race with no borders or traditions will result in a very boring world that lacks diversity. Globalists are against diversity. Nationalists support diversity.
