Man, what do you do that you know all this stuff to this level of detail?
Guessing there is a reason you are in San Diego (iirc)
Respect tho, learned more in this thread than anywhere else.
I just read too much internet...
I am in SD but unaffiliated with the military or defense industry.

i can see a middle ground , 1000 bradleys , 100k tows, tanks not needed
Pretty healthy arms package. GLSDB is not specifically listed but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
Tank showdown yet to come in Germany.
The Swedish CV90s use the same L70 40mm guns so I really hope these come with programmable 3P ammo. They're very good at clearing trenches and shooting down drones.And Sweden with a large package. The 40mm gun on the CV90 is nice and ammunition essentially unlimited.
Lithuania will provide 2 helicopters and a lot of 40mm AAA guns.
That will buff right out!
A likely related article openly speaking of the Russian military buildup, once again in 3 directions surrounding Ukraine.
Russia's 2023 invasion may be larger than the 2022 invasion.
Everything east of the Dnippro is threatened with extermination and ethnic cleansing into Russian hands.
We must have warned the Ukrainians that the war is about to escalate wildly.
Putin’s "Secret" Attack Plan Would Be Ukrainian Nightmare
@kage69 How many dead Ukrainians does it take before you would agree with me, that we have not done enough?
It is not warmongering to want Ukraine to win at its own defense. For Ukraine to survive this invasion and keep its people safe. Or for us to do EVERYTHING possible to ensure that outcome. For us to preserve life to the fullest extent.
Thus far WE HAVE FAILED to do that, and we should be deeply ashamed for our failure to stand for life.
Honest question (not making any rhetorical point) but what do the Russians have left with which to attack? I thought they were already reduced to digging out T62s from storage?
Yes, it is hard for me to understand how an offensive last year that involved Russia's best trained and equipped troops failed but now a new attack from conscripted troops with way, way worse equipment (if any) would succeed.Honest question (not making any rhetorical point) but what do the Russians have left with which to attack?

Everything else aside how would they hope to supply this? They couldn't supply their original force.
Umm, I'm pretty sure Germany doesn't have any (legal) basis at all to stop other countries from training whoever they want on the Leopard - the restrictions are against re-export of the tanks.Some signs of what most people think will be another painful but inevitable cave from a moronic position.
Bloomberg: Germany... will allow other countries to train Ukrainian soldiers on the [Leopard]"
