There would have had to been massive evidence of that sort of movement and as far as I know nothing else has really mentioned movement of that kind. It would also be a fantastically large target at this point. |

Something I like about UA is that they go on the offensive diplomatically.
According to Democratic Party #کردستان #ایران / Hadka - Ukrainian authorities have officially invited this party to visit their country and meet political officials, including Zelensky. Probably a reaction to the use of Iranian weapons by the Russian army in the war with #اوکراین .
They're doing this in Africa to some degree too.

I like things like the GLSDB - give them longer range precision fire capability that they can use within days or weeks. What can we do to get PrSM into production now? What can we do to increase production of artillery shells NOW? |

Immediately after the last incident i noticed a MOD started laying down the law like "So you want moderation?" LOL Tonight i see Trap's woman talked about in a nasty way. I have also had the same types of comments and reported with not a care in the world by mods. Posters still running their traps, keeping their accounts, COC isn't for the worthy trolls, literally copying and pasting straight propaganda. ( Pro-tip: These clown's are easily found searching their copypastas )  ). Pretty surprised the literal Russian propaganda is allowed to flourish on this site, considering the source. Not talking about disagreements of opinion here. Our enemy is definitely among us and posting freely. Yeah i could just shut my pie hole and go quietly, but wanted to say bye to the group. I won't be lurking, but living without the nonsense I read everyday. If you hear of them finding a dead American with a Cola Warrior T-shirt, that's probably me.

And moving is certainly something the Leopard 1 excels at. On paper it has a lot in common with the Army’s new MPF. And if used in an MPF-type role, it will probably do better than most T-series tanks. Never underestimate how valuable better optics and an extra set of eyeballs can be when working with dismounts. |

Start taking out bridges, rail infrastructure, etc. as close to the rusky boarder as possible so they can fuck up timetables, supply lines, speed of advance as much as possible, hopefully take out ammunition rail cars and trucks too for good measure. |
