Poland providing an additional 60 PT-91 tanks (upgraded T-72) to Ukraine.

"This recent tank donation adds to the previous deliveries, which already include over 250 T-72M and T-72M1(R) tanks, 14 Leopard 2A4 tanks, and 60 PT-91s tanks."

TANKS

I'm glad Poland and other similarly geographically positioned countries are stepping up and doing all they can in this war. It felt like many of these eastern European countries with the most to lose physically weren't committed over the last decade or 2.

The Switzerland is starting to rub me the wrong way. They've made an art form of playing both sides while claiming neutrality to benefit on everyone's pain.

Something I haven't seen discussed is how susceptible to SAM / AA / air defenses are ATACMS?

While it may just be assumptino, it appears HIMARS (smaller, faster, and more in a launcher) is getting through air defenses pretty well or can at least easily overwhelm them with 2 or 3 launchers.

While it would remove the threat to a pilot, can Russia just shoot down ATACMs with S400 and other newer SAM systems?

Western countries aim to use a zero civilian loss planning while the Russians believe any citizens that die are just casualties of war. They never have had the same value of life as almost the rest of the world.

But yeah the evidence does show western troops were there.

No one has denied that there are Western volunteers in Ukraine. It's been stated many times. That said, I watched some of that video and what was pointed out was circumstantial or fallacious evidence at best that they were there specifically. For example, the tweet with the supposedly SOF vehicles being parked there as evidence that troops were there. Part of it was, "Don't day they were parked there afterwards because they're dirty, and that's evidence they were there before the strike." That ignores the fact that vehicles can get dirty in lots of ways, and a SOF vehicle in theater is probably going to be dirty all the time. It also ignores the high probability that those vehicles would have been heavily damaged or destroyed by the strike. If a ballistic missile just landed near them, why aren't the windows blown out?

I think we have beat this topic too much nor do I understand what it matters if it was a random hit on civilian structure or if it was targeting western soldiers. The loss of life is horrible whether its 14 year old girls like my own ,fellow brothers in arms, or a combination thereof.

You may have missed in the video, two different soldiers in the response calling out that there are many soldiers buried under the rubble, or the batt boy tattoos, or simply the significant number of Goonba's on scene taking care of their own. Also did this target require a spotter or could russia just have gone to google earth and picked out hundreds of other civilian structures. Yes still circumstantial but not likely fallacious.....way too many coincidences.

AKA, they were getting paid from Wagner assets for information, political / military pull, equipment, and ammo.

Assuming the FSB didn't fabricate it. Either or both are just as likely since corruption is the norm over there. Wonder how many FSB agents sanitized their name and other agents name off the list.

PrSM, which is primarily intended to replace the Army's existing Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) short-range ballistic missile, is the lower end of a three-tier future missile force the service is planning to field in the next few years. The middle tier role will be filled by Typhon, also described as a "Mid-Range Capability" system, which will be capable of firing ground-launched examples of the U.S. Navy's SM-6 and Tomahawk missiles, as you can read more about here. The Dark Eagle Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW), which you can find out more about here, will form the upper end of these missile capabilities. The Army views these missiles, collectively, as critical to its ability to fight and win future high-end conflicts against near-peer adversaries, such as China or Russia.

They really did it or the FBI/CIA/Prigo/Jack Ryan/whoever arranged for this to go down wouldn't change anything for me. The world's a better place without any of these civilian targeting *******s IMO

Almost 16% of Russians support the use of nuclear weapons against Ukraine.

With a microphone in their face and being forced to go on the record for a Moscow state newspaper only 16% of Russians were willing to show any support for Nukes.

And some Americans wet the bed over it.

Did they miss with the initial mine clearing ordinance? It's great to see them using that line charge though

Also , I understand why the troops debus, but why do the BMPs withdraw leaving the troops to fight at the most critical time. seems like they could lead and provide firepower. Are the afraid of mines? Or are too exposed? I've seen this tactic on most assault videos

Another appeal of wives of Russian soldiers in Ukraine who talk about taking heavy losses while defending against the Ukrainian offensive.

Similar stories were common late last year when mobilised men were used to plug holes and stop further advance of the Ukrainian… pic.twitter.com/a0fCfXxr7B

Oof, glad to live in the USA, more specifically Texas, looking at the choices over there.

In the US the media would parade the wifes and families in front of the media. In Russia they hide them or tell them they should be proud their husbands sacrificed for mother Russia. Was joking above but if you were born in the USA you won the lottery on freedom and opportunity.

From listening to Uke commentators-

this is a tactic designed to protect their IFVs from shoulder launched munitions coming out of the Russkie trenches

and even more importantly protect the armor from the KA-52 attack helicopters which have a greater killing range than anything the Ukes can use to shoot them down.

also gets them out of the range of the Russian artillery kill boxes.
