Russian invasion of Ukraine

[grunge]

10 Challenger 2 MBT is a waste of time. These are now obsolete from our armed forces. To be able to use these there would have to be a considerable amount of logistical backup. It would be the heaviest tank on the battlefield and would need specialist ARVs (armoured recovery vehicles) to recover ‘dead’ tanks though battle damage or breakdown. Breakdown, now there is a thing, if it breaks down you will need a complete spares backup and don’t get me started on the specialist 120mm rifled ammunition as all new tanks us smooth bore guns. Bring the German Leopard into the mix and you have another set of problems.

if they are obsolete from our armed forces why is the head of our armed forces so giving them will weaken us if we need to go to battle?

Something strange is happening.
Right across the front line.

Slava Ukraini.

You would think that if one country would learn from appeasement it would be Germany. It would appear that both Germany and ruSSia have not learnt the lessons of the past and are hell bent on repeating the mistakes of our forefathers.

Murky politics going on in my opinion…

Well if both sides are playing football they’re about 3 weeks too late…

According to Russian media,a Russian Commander of a mobilized unit commited suicide,by inflicting "MULTIPLE" stab wounds to his own heart.

Slava Ukraini.

Just like that British army recruit who shot himself five times in the back.

Making bold promises to Ukraine, but rarely delivering on them in a timely manner.

Interestingly, something has a transponder on, "flying" over SW Ukraine.

First thing I've seen in nearly a year over Ukraine air space. It's not fast operating at between 60 and 100 knots, suggesting it's a light aircraft or helicopter, but it's flown quite a lengthy route, and done a couple of circuits of nothing in particular. It's not showing an altitude, but started near Kryvyi Rih, and is now SW of Odessa, it first showed up at 1243 GMT, so been "airborne" for nearly 3 hours now.

Being tracked by over 7000 people at the moment.

Have the US managed to send their Reaper Drones and the locals are taking it for a spin?

Yeah that's where I'm looking, first thing I've see over Ukraine since the invasion.

Intriguing.
