How is tank battle in Donbass region going?

I read that it was going to be the biggest tank battle since WWII. But I have not heard much. Who won, or is winning?

Thanks!
 
Ukraine forces have been engaging in guerilla warfare against the Russian tanks, using US/NATO anti-tank weapons (Javelin, NLAW) very effectively. Russian tanks have been hampered by poor maintenance, Russian inability to provide supplies for tanks, bad weather, and a fatal design flaw (see below). There has not been a lot of tank-vs-tank fighting.

Will the United States Run Out of Javelins Before Russia Runs Out of Tanks?

The United States has supplied Ukraine with thousands of Javelins, but U.S. inventory is dwindling. Will Javelins inflict enough Russian combat losses to produce a battlefield stalemate before Ukraine runs out of its most effective anti-tank weapons?

Damn, interesting. Russia is like the boxer who wins by letting you beat on his face over and over again and then finishes you off when you run out of gas LOL..

When Vlad is dead, he'll get an amazon ad where he calls for roadside assistance, it fails, and orders Prime to get the tools to fix his "car" himself.
 
There have been a lot Russian desertions. Not sure CNN quoted a number.

I think we're around the turning point. The new 155mm howitzer that Ukraine has been fielding outrange the Russian guns so the U forces can stand off and still take them out.

Plus, I'm sure a shit tonne of drones are probably in the field.

I'm starting to feel sorry for the Russian troops. They seem to be mostly clueless - by design.

edit - of course, mixed in are the war criminals. Serious cognitive dissonance.

United States and run out of weapons do not go together.

Also, are the Ukrainian's treating the Jav's as one time use and discarding them in the battlefield instead of reloading with another missile?

If so, why aren't they carrying an extra missile??
(Or their helper carrying 2 missiles?)

Eh, some of those troops are probably raping people. Miserable younger men starved of both power and ass is a very bad combo.
