The Rashists left Chernobyl after one of their crazy units dug in a radioactive forest, and the Ukrainian staff of the closed power plant scared the Rashists of all possible consequences.

And it’s on the rise 🙂

Thank you for your kind support 🇺🇦🇺🇸
It must have been a cruise missile. The cruise missiles which Russia uses to bomb us are sizeable and have a huge impact.
Yes, the author in particular refers to: https://www.wsj.com/articles/winners-of-the-year-putin-musk-the-us-economy-swift-economy-court-b7196e3a
Well, you probably know more about tanks than I do. But sorry, this article isn’t about making tanks completely immune. It is about improving protection. To quote the article:
ERA blocks contain layers of explosives that explode outward when struck, potentially deflecting the incoming blast. Reactive armor doesn’t work against inert penetrating rounds, but against high-explosive rounds it can roughly double a tank’s protection.
With a tight layer of ERA, a Leopard 1A5 should go from having around 70 millimeters of steel protection to the equivalent of 140 millimeters or so. That’s still less protection than a Russian T-72 has, but it’s enough at least to give Ukrainian crews more confidence as they roll onto battlefields teeming with explosive-laden drones and anti-tank missiles.
You write:
Use them in a supportive role as a precise gun on range (and as it’s rifled it is actually more capable in regards to long range precision than modern smooth-bore cannons).
Indeed, the Ukrainians use them as accurate long-range guns. But as for the “supporting role”, what other tanks should these Leopards support? Perhaps Ukraine will miraculously receive or make hundreds of modern battle tanks in the future. But for now, the Ukrainians must do the best they can with what they have, upgrading old vehicles where possible.
Well, you can, but first you should learn more about these tanks: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/11/19/ukraines-leopard-1-tanks-roll-toward-the-front-line-but-without-extra-armor/
If you care to read a purely Ukrainian weapon expert, David Axe, in the purely Ukrainian Forbes magazine :-)
They carry and aim their weapons with full knowledge of what they are doing - invading the neighboring country, killing those who resist and enslaving others. It’s been one of the most popular Russian sports for many centuries. That’s how Russia became so big. They know the rules of the game very well - it’s deeply ingrained in Russian culture, which has never been anything but imperial. They are obedient slaves of the empire.
They have been conditioned since childhood to blindly submit to authority. Their ignorance doesn’t absolve them of war crimes. I would prefer that they stay alive, but sometimes murderers must be stopped by violent means.
The age of the violent empires is finally coming to an end.
Well, they know what they are doing - they came to Ukraine armed to kill Ukrainians. And they have killed many thousands, including civilians. If they are not stopped, they will kill and enslave more, serving their empire to grab new lands.
Their country is not invaded - they know their goal is to expand the Lebensraum for the Russian race - in their terms, “Russkij mir”.
Shhh… Don’t tell anyone that’s how Ukrainians rule the world.
‘’… I fully expected this kind of knee-jerk reactionary given the community …‘’ And you are talking about smugness ;-) Really, people mostly blame others for their own shortcomings and project them onto others. Talk about hipocrisy :-)
I understand your annoyance. Sorry if I was too blunt. Somehow I can freely read those articles - perhaps because I rarely read The Daily Beast.
I won’t stop it. The Daily Beast is readable for most people. If you have a problem with it, you can just block me. I’ll be only glad if you do so.
It’s Russian Christmas, which is later in the year. Most Orthodox Christian countries, including Ukraine, celebrate it earlier, on the same day as the US.
Well, Ukraine is becoming noticeably more united, self-aware and competent. And this is so much better than the previous Russian genocide, when many millions of Ukrainians starved to death and almost no one abroad even knew about it.
The puppetry is mostly a Russian template: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet_state So that’s what the Russians often say in their projections.
The U.S. relationship with its various allies is much more nuanced, and it takes some knowledge of modern international relations to understand it. Suffice it to say that, based on its model of relations, the US is not interested in simplistic political patronage. It’s interested in markets and free world trade.
Thank you ❤️🙏
Apparently, some officer thought that this combat vehicle was completely protected and invulnerable.
