Modern anti tank weapons is still vastly superior to any tank armor including every single western tank.Russian tanks are very similar to our WWII Sherman tanks. When hit, they go BOOM. We learned our lesson the hard way, apparently the Russian Defense Agency did not.
OkModern anti tank weapons is still vastly superior to any tank armor including every single western tank.
And M1A2 Abrams also go boom when they are hit. Below is from yemen, with soviet era weapons and clones, operated by some rag doll Islamists. Imagine the more modern russian weapons, with vastly superior training and recon in ukraine battle ground.
In fact M1 abrams also easier to spot from drones, we will rarely see 1 vs 1 tank engagement, even if we do they are at less then 0.5 mile distance. So the supposed western tank optics superiority is irrelevant in such urban/tree dense combat situation.
Most incoming western tanks are going to be taken out by artillery and drones.
Somethings telling me this post will not age well. Linked below is an added incentive for Razi's wishing to try their luckModern anti tank weapons is still vastly superior to any tank armor including every single western tank.

For me a fair and just settlement would be along the lines ofShould UKRAINE consider NEGOTIATIONS?
Not quite true. No country has ever destroyed a Challenger 2. In fact during the Gulf war, one was reportedly hit by a Milan AT and 14 RPG's anti-tank rounds, and was still in the fight. It had some repairs at a later date but both it and the crew survived. There are some later rumours of an rpg on another tank penetrating the lower front armour and wounding a soldier, however, even if true and a weak point was discovered, the Challenger 2 still has some of the best armour and protection in the world and it still remains undestroyed.Modern anti tank weapons is still vastly superior to any tank armor including every single western tank.

Just because its wasn't destroyed by a Saddam Iraqi army 20 to 30 years back, doesn't mean it will be the same now.Not quite true. No country has ever destroyed a Challenger 2.

500k troops.....where TF did they get them from? Probably more like conscripts, aka: canon fodder.Ukraine war: Russia planning 24 February offensive, Ukrainian defence minister says
Kyiv says Russia has amassed 500,000 men for an attack in the coming weeks.www.bbc.co.uk
Good question re the numbers. From what I have gathered there was approx 200k for the initial invasion. That didn't work out too well so they had mobilisation about 6 months later and officially declared they signed up another 320k. Unofficially this has never ended though. Also factor in Wagner Nazi group with prisoners 50k other groups from Chechnya, Syria and elsewhere guessing another 50k.500k troops.....where TF did they get them from? Probably more like conscripts, aka: canon fodder.
I have tremendous respect for the Russian people. But this POS is destroying his own country. I wonder how long until they have had enough?
Reminds me of Joe Blogs videos about the demographic time bomb that awaits. He has several videos on this topic and one is linked below.I have tremendous respect for the Russian people. But this POS is destroying his own country. I wonder how long until they have had enough?
