Ya'll think this little war may foretell the end of the tank as a weapon of war? With all the ways to take a tank out, I'd not want to be in one during combat.
Doubt it. Always gonna lose some vehicles in combat. A lot of russias issue is sending armor into urban areas without supporting infantry. Urban areas are death sentences for armor.
This "war" (term used loosely) is odd. Tanks are just fine as long you have the air support. Where's the air support? We have shtuff on youtube of precision bombing from 1991 during Desert Storm. This "war" is a head shaker. If, IF, russia has any air assault, where is it? It should be so simple to take out Ukraine if (IF) this is a real war. Maybe russia is cleaning out the old stuff to bring out the new when other countries jump in? I don't know. This "war" stinks of something I'm not comfortable with.
I agree on your point of “where is Russia’s air support?”. This doesn’t make any sense. Even if it’s sub par air fighters, why is the sky not filled with these aircraft near major theaters? I’m sure I’m missing something, but I’d love for someone knowledgeable to educate me.
they are using some air support, but they're vulnerable in the skies too. Not to mention, losing pilots. Sending air to far from support, leads to their pilots becoming pow's. In the beginning, they lost alot of pilots and aircraft. Causing them to utilize more Guided missiles. There were some report that even their so called "next gen" fighter aircraft were being shot down.
I agree that something seems off though. Reminds me of "World Ain't What Seems, Is It Gunny?"
