Thing about those russian dragons teeth is they are just placed on the ground and not attached to it like the ones on the old nazi Siegfried line. (No German engineering in Ivans Army). Half a squad with a strong metal pole can run it through the conveniently placed ring bolt at the top and lift it right up out of place.

The Ukrainians had high hopes for the Leopard 2-How well did it do at the frontline?
Now they will receive Abrams from USA. Even here they have high hopes. Let see how well it does it in another type of warfare. Markus |
Problem is western tanks are designed predominantly with tank on tank combat on mind - which practically does not take place in this war. Tanks mostly get taken out by drones, atgm, mines, helicopters - not by rounds from enemy tanks.
Western takes will harvest on other vehicles and targets. But they suffer losses from threats that are not what they were örimarily hardened against : tank rounds. |

Tanks are not completely obsolete, but as long as you have their coordinates via drones ..
Also Russia reportedly lost 23 tanks alone yesterday, and over 30 logistical vehicles. Focusing just on tanks - assuming of course losing 23 in one day is, umm, not "normal", they clearly still lose an average of a few a day. How many tanks can Russia produce? According to the Russian ministries own figures, they produced 250 in 2021 - and many of these were refurbished older tanks. Russians are currently conducting a massive offensive in the Luhansk area for a number of weeks - but have made no progress. The fact that they are pushing hard with lots of tanks - and each attack is being repulsed. Common sense they are therefore losing a lot of tanks plus the daily footage of destroyed tanks we are seeing on social media popping up https://youtu.be/WOPujWW_kMg |

Possible the uranium SABOT reaches farther than HE(AT), compensating for the loss of kinetic energy compared to a non-uraniu SABOT. But how often do you have terrain and weather that you trade tank rounds at 5 km ? |

I do remember that Russia had threaten with nukes if Ukraine got depleted Uranium. (I take it with a smile on my face) Markus |
The people dying for Russia are hardly "russians" or Putin's soldiers, or to put it directly:
No casualties from St. Petersburg or Moscow. https://i.imgur.com/jgFaM4el.jpg If Putin continues I guess it will change soon. |
