Russian invasion of Ukraine

View attachment 75507

Looks like the Bradley’s are on the battlefield, when will we see some Abrams driving over pissed up Russian conscripts?
Not sure they are at the minute.
32nd Mech Brigade are just Southwest of Polatva,about 170km from the nearest frontline.
47th Assault Brigade have them,dunno where they are.

Slava Ukraini.
 
So with the American leaks coming out that they don't think Ukraine has much of a chance of regaining any land they have already lost and also they think the war will go on for at least another year then where do people think this will end? Will it be peacetalks with Ukraine surrendering land or will they hope to outlast putin

American intelligence also thought Ukraine would last about a week after the invasion. 14 months later they're still going.

It's also worth remembering that these intelligence reports are constantly changing based on new inputs. In the last month or so we've seen a massive increase in arms transfers from Europe and munitions factories being set up, so if the Americans though the counter-offensive would be limited due to lack of munitions whenever those documents were leaked, their outlook has probably changed as its been addressed.

The leaks that came out detailing Russian losses were found to be doctored to make them look less from the Russian perspective, so it’s difficult to know that the demising chances of success for Ukraine are believed by America. Russia would love a break in the show of support from NATO, so seeing the seeds of doubt amongst populations in Europe and America will have their propaganda machine going into overdrive.

They have to make this counter offensive count and doesn’t end up in stalemate. If it got to the point where Ukraine started to move towards Crimea would that have the Russian’s coming to the table or attempting to nuclear rhetoric again?

As you say the reports that form part of intelligence will change, being just snapshots of events or opinions.

Not war I know but business plans sometimes project 5 years but are modified every month to incorporate real life changes. Often only 6 months of small monthly changes can impact on original long term objectives and certainly planned events.

Certainly in business and probably in war sticking to older objectives in the light of change can lead to disaster.
