View Quote This right here is why we need to give the Ukranians longer range weapons. So that they can destroy russian supplies to the front line. If the russian troops don't have ammo or food, it simply doesn't matter how many of them there are. |

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? |

They are the meat for drawing artillery fire. Their purpose is not to survive. I think the "meat" is beginning to disagree. Hopefully that trend continues. What an evil and corrupt society that can staff all the multiple layers required to pursue such a strategy without open revolt from square one. |

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. |
