2023-01-10 at 6:43 AM UTCI wonder if 50 Bradley IFVs will make a difference on any front.
the point of IFVs over APCs is the higher firing position which helps a lot in urban warfare, but with how many man-portable anti-tank and anti-material weapons are around they haven't really been used inside the cities.
the main use of Bradleys here would be the TOWs and advanced optics to try and snipe tanks at range, but Russia's fielding BMPTs as tanker support with more ATAKA ATGMs that significantly outrange them. there's also the option of REFLEKS tank-launched ATGMs but I haven't heard any reports of them being used in the theatre.
in this role I don't really see the benefit to using them over any other (cheaper) anti-tank weapon -

if true, any male between 18-60 can expect to be drafted, can't enter into a marriage or start a new job, and being overseas for study/work will no longer get you out of it either. Ukrainian embassies in other countries arer directed to send them back.

US is rumoured to be sending Strykers now as well, would not be surprised if the Ukrainians just use them as artillery ammo transports like the APCs and medical transports they've been sent.
the Ukrainians want heavy tanks, but among other problems the Abrams and Leopards (most likely candidates) are way too heavy for the region; at almost 70 tonnes they'll obliterate roads, fall through bridges and fuck up pontoon crossings -

they're currently mopping up a few pockets of resistance. Ukrainians report they lost 14 battalions so deaths are probably above 10,000 (keep in mind the Ukrainian authorities have a habit of 'laundering' KIAs by listing them as MIA to avoid paying families). -

im not saying i'd want to drive an abrams across a bridge made by slavs, especially former soviet slavs, but what the hell are you talking about? is it just that you've seen the abrams in the desert your whole life and it feels like a "desert tank" to you now or something? the leopard and the abrams are 50 years old, and the product of countries who were both very much taking into consideration that they might have to be driving said tanks through ukraine and into the USSR.
"they'll fuck up pontoon crossings"? are you high?
ukraine rivers are very special you see. nothing like bosnian rivers, which can be pontooned by MBTs. ukrainian river water is highly corrosive (on account of chernobyl), and as such pontoons suffer a -50% geographic debuff to structural integrity.
"they'll obliterate roads"
no shit. great thing about tanks:
