No, much like the Mig question. They would provide the Ukes with T-72's and we would back fill them with M1A1's of which we have 3000 in storage. Never realized we have that many in storage. I assume they have all been replaced with M1A2's?Agthatbuilds said:

Today, unfortunately, many Americans have good reason to fear that they will be victimized if they are unable to protect themselves. And today, no less than in 1791, the Second Amendment guarantees their right to do so. - Justice Samuel Alito 2022
People keep forgetting that Ukraine has been rotating troops through the US for training since 2016 and US trainers gave been in country since 2019.
Seven and three are ten, not only now, but forever. There has never been a time when seven and three were not ten, nor will there ever be a time when they are not ten. Therefore, I have said that the truth of number is incorruptible and common to all who think. — St. Augustine

why do you claim "60 years"? it's 600 years.
even in World War I, World War II, the Red/White Russian Revolution and civil war, battles against Napoleon the Russians did not care about the lives of their soldiers. it's an autocracy, monarchy, and benevolent dictatorship.
This is nothing new when it comes to Russian tactics.
He said they would only need 2-3 weeks for a F-16, so I'm guessing a few hours on World of Tanks and a day in the seat would be enoughAgthatbuilds said:

There's no SAM contrail at all, which is unlike most of the other MANPADS videos i've seen.
In a good book on the American army in WW2 (maybe by Ambrose), I read that we benefited greatly from American boys being exposed to mechanization in large numbers before the war. A kid from Iowa's learning curve on M4 Sherman engine repair wasn't nearly as steep as Fritz from Bravaria on a panzer who had been farming with mules.
I'm certainly not saying the same situation here (an M1 is a little more complex than the Sherman) but there's definitely something to be said for the type of ingenuity and common sense that a farm boy has to develop.

For sure. I think one of the greatest lessons learned in this war, will be how important cross training is.
SIAP, this is one lucky Russian crew.
Great pic of the NLAW, surprised the tank survived. Because it was a peripheral shot?
Is this a T-64?
There's no Kontakt ERA blocks. Not a T-90.

2/ Humanitarian Impact. Ukrainian refugees exceed 5.4 million, with 6.5 million IDPs throughout Ukraine. As Russian forces pull out of NW Kyiv, the brutality of their occupation is more apparent. Russia continues to block aid convoys access to Mariupol. https://t.co/mFzGhVjPab

Shot was too close, missile didn't have time to arm.
Probably too close
Eventually we have a page for each Russian unit with its starting equipment, commander, history, awards. Ukrainian unit information will be added following the conclusion of hostilities. We will also go back and add information for each day (2/3)

Aah, looked.
Minimum arm distance is 20m, so looks pretty close

❗️Rail War: Belarusian partisans have committed at least 10 successful sabotages on the railway since the beginning of the war in Ukraine.

This infographic shows the main events of the rail war over the past month.

During one of the sabotages on March 30, partisans were fired from combat weapons, but even then they managed to escape successfully.

The rail war started in late February, and has greatly helped to slow down the occupiers’ equipment moving towards Ukraine.

As I sit here reading Texags late at night, I read this and begin thinking about my grandfather who served in the 40s and the Korean war. He was a farmer here in TX and was as an air mechanic.Gradaggie05 said:

I am able to do this in the comfort of my home at my leisure, and am able to look up details to verify this, and know that our govt. & military values the lives of men who fought for them.
He was Czech so I can confidently speak for him and say, "**** Putin".
There’ll be no “Afghanization” & no long conflict exhausting RF as someone expects. RF will leave all territories except the south & east, will try to dig in there, set air defense, drastically reduce losses & dictate terms. Without heavy weapons we won’t be able to drive RF out

In September 2021, Russia has adopted a state technical standard for digging and maintaining mass graves amid wartime. It took effect on Feb 1st 2022.https://t.co/PLntnnY8ir pic.twitter.com/M2X7Otq95w
— Sergej Sumlenny (@sumlenny) April 2, 2022
The standard foresaw digging of isolated mass graves for up to 1,000 dead bodies each grave within 3 days. A team of 16 soldiers was responsible for every grave. pic.twitter.com/mum7rqTOHm

I have a longtime friend who tells me why am I doing this Ukrainians are nazi’s, they are the ones killing their people etc. this is a brainwashed American. I explain I’m here and nothing of the sort is happening. We are no longer friends after a heated exchange.

The size of the crater and the missile (relative to the electric poles) suggest that it may have been a 9M728 cruise missile from a Russian Iskander-M launcher.
— CIT (en) (@CITeam_en) April 2, 2022
Ukraine hasn't used cruise missiles in the conflict, and a ballistic missile would have come from Ukrainian positions. pic.twitter.com/wpnS8ljcVC
As Russian state media didn't cover this incident extensively, we assess that it is more likely to be a missile failure than a deliberate Russian provocation to accuse Ukraine of attacking Russian territory.
— CIT (en) (@CITeam_en) April 2, 2022
Regardless, we can exclude Ukraine's involvement in the incident.

I love this idea. Get that armor out and get us all on the same equipment for the larger conflict to come.

I believe this happened earlier this month, I know I've seen this scene before, just from a different angle.
