    Originally posted by vindicktive vinny theres still time for the US to send current and used tanks if theres a sufficient political will.

    what is lacking are the crews to run them.

    yeah if they wanted to they could divert tanks that were returned from Afghanistan or some of their other reserves

    the point isn't that they'd be difficult to deploy in Ukraine (though they would, training is completely different from the Soviet models they're used to and the things run on jet fuel, not diesel), it's that the US knows they're not going to turn the tide and don't want HD media of flaming tanks with popped turrets affecting their negotiations to replenish armor stocks across the EU

    i think its the logistics required to bring it to the front line that prevented their deployment in ukraine.

    if they had no problem finding "foreign mercenaries" to fight on the front line then NATO shoudnt have problem finding tank crews to run at least some token amount of M1s in ukraine. and its not flaming and burning M1 either, because whatever reputational losses that M1s are going to suffer the contracts are still being signed, friendlies are still buying years of backlogs of these tanks.

    getting kerosene to the front line is certainly not a problem but its getting the amount of kerosene required to drive a single M1s from poland to the frontline at 0.3mpg is i think. and i dont know how well the tanks and its tracks are going to last on wetlands like ukraine because the last time i saw abrams in active combat duty on wetland it was during the seize of waco.

    J'ews are bombing Iran

    Iran claims drones were intercepted near the capital but there have been reports of explosions in other regions that the government hasn't addressed

    Wagner's reporting that they keep finding bodies with hands and head removed; they say it's to prevent identification of mercenaries who died fighting with the AFU (ie. registered military from countries who claim not to be participating in the war). I've seen a few pictures, they look legit, but it's always possible Wagner's doing the chopping for one reason or another

    That's pretty fucked whoever is doing it. Wonder if that's a war crime. Even for mercs, I'm guessing you are usually hoping that if you die someone can at least ID you and report back to whoever is waiting for you.

    lots of media of fires in different locations along with an 'earthquake', there's more going on than is being reported on

    Just type in "download twitter video" into google, the copy paste the tweet URL into the sites that come up, eg. https://twdown.net/

    Then I can get a direct link to the mp4 video file, and embed that.

  14. The only way they could show a rainbow flag in Kiev is by photoshopping one in. I don't think I seen one even once there. On the other hand it's the unofficial flag of Dublin.

    LOL

    through Blinken, the US has effectively offered to surrender the Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine if Russia does not continue to press forward, without bothering to include the Ukrainian government in negotiations

    will post the letter when I'm done reading it
