So you have the intel on how many systems Russia has and how many have been taken out? Or are you relying on propaganda sources? Will the F16 be the "game changer" that the Abraham Leopard and Churchill tanks didn't prove to be in last Summer's Offensive.

There are good sources of intel out there- you just got to know where to look and how to disseminate certain events and feed them into the bigger picture. That provides a more rounded view.

F16’s won’t be a game changer in the context of turning the war around, but they will counter an immediate threat (glide bombs) that are currently causing a lot of pain and suffering to those Ukrainians near to the front lines.

There are many factors as to why the heavy armour “promised” by the west didn’t turn the tide. The biggest one was that the western powers delayed sending them to Ukraine, then the funding from US dried up, Ukraine was also to blame for dithering and allowing the Russians to build deep heavily fortified defensive positions. When they finally got the tanks, ammo and trained crews it was too late - any advance would be suicidal as we’ve seen with Russian advances - armour gets chewed up.

It was and still is a painful transition for the Ukrainian armed forces, as they move from historical soviet methods of warfighting to a NATO led doctrine. You can’t just suddenly rock up and implement full combined arms manoeuvre warfare - this will take time. Got a mate who’s an instructor down at Tidworth and he’s told me some stuff about the training they’re doing with the Ukes.

BTW Churchill tanks were last seen in WWII. I think you meant Challenger tanks?

Both sides have been inching right up to the act-of-war line. CNN reported today that the Russians had plans to assassinate five CEOs of European arms manufacturers. US intelligence informed the Germans of the most advanced of the plots, which put the kibosh on it, and the Russians folded their tents on the rest.

If nothing else will convince someone that the US has no appetite for a full scale war, that should. If we wanted full involvement, we just let them bag Franz Ferdinand instead, then act on the Article 5 pretext.

It will happen soon. Someone is going to step over a very thin line. Russia will squeal as always and threaten nuclear Armageddon, but that will be about it. Hopefully there are still back channels of communication between US and Russia with some sensible people talking.

Get someone in Merrick Garland's office, stat, the way we did with RFK. It recently came out that RFK was the back channel, because the press wasn't monitoring who came and went from his office at Justice, so he met with someone we knew to be KGB on the regular. His access to the Oval Office then meant he could pass anything along, with no one the wiser.

Ha, stick that in your grammar and spelling pipe and smoke it. Tugchops!

Oddly I managed spell it properly, something you should try.

And Challenge IIs, at that, because the original Challengers were retired in the late 90s to the early 2000s.

No point engaging with you anymore. You’re simply a massive, ignorant bellend who's only intention is to troll this thread.

On ignore you go and I’d advise all other posters on this thread to do the same.

I must admit he does come across as an absolute ‘kin danger.

Aye, it was a left field post in the boxing thread. Potato's for gloves and all that. Great times.
