So the USA is fighting 2 major proxy Wars now? But in the other thread, the USA is sending ammo and weapons to Israel ....but Israel is NOT under attack ..??? am not really understanding this stuff now.Even alittle bit .
And Ukraine is saying they are now finding the time between resupply approvals . by our Gov.? is taking too long .
This is not appearing very pragmatic decision making .

So, do you think these greatly expanded cope cages will ever amount to more than emotional support armour?

Thank you very much for these images FuneralEmpire ..lolololzzz. ..turtle coffins .....
Hope the Ukraians can keep ahold of their Country . 8O

One issue arises,,Leonardo Da Vinci ancient design was better! the Russians did not even try..?

The orginal Turtle design had stationary Cannons mounted in in most all directions . Around its body.
With slanted body panels all around it , to aid in blast deflection, (from what , I was able to discern,Looking at the old design piks by Leonardo.from way way back in the day)......If I had to be in one of those Russian...best to stay alive by defecting or surrendering.

News is reporting the US is no longer objecting to Ukraine striking military targets in Russia with American delivered munitions.

Hate to say this but from repeated reading about comparisons between tanks over the years . And the German
tanks , have overall better equipment than most all other countries Armoured divisions. Range , accurancy speed of reloading , Speed of movement, weapons tracking systems on the fly.....It was a great distraction to read.
And either way, the Ukrainians were very likely getting American equipment..that was already sold to other countries ? perhaps ? " Janes Military vhicles"

Are you talking about "motion detectors"?

Or about humans "defecting" from Russia (being accepted as refugees)?

Quote:
80% of Russian equipment and personnel that were stationed on the Russian border with Finland, have been transferred to Ukraine, a high-ranking Finnish military source confirms. Garrisons and military bases are almost empty.

Based on Russia's willingness to move troops away from a border with a NATO member it seems fair to conclude their claims of feeling threatened by NATO are not made in good faith.

Three problems...

Russia is using glide bombs...basically, drop-type bombs with wings, that they drop from their side of the border. There's no heat signature, so they're extremely difficult to intercept.

Ukraine had an early advantage with drones, but Russia has mostly caught up.

And Ukraine is MUCH larger than Israel. Additionally, Israel's allies are willing to use the airspace of neighboring countries to intercept missiles and drones making the long flight from Iran, but there is no such friendly airspace between Russia and Ukraine. And Russia is getting smarter, trying different flight paths with missiles until they find one that works.

Some more bad news...

Russia has been (foolishly, and illegally) targeting mostly civilian infrastructure, but with the pending arrival of F-16's, they've taken a sudden interest in targeting Ukrainian airfields. Ukraine has lost some SU-series jets the last few days.

The good news...

In addition to four new Patriot systems Ukraine is receiving, Israel is willing to give their Patriots to Ukraine because they say their own systems are better.
