eeks, what would you use 105s for? Fire and wait for c/b?? The range is horrifyingly short.

I am aware that U S weapons have been sent....I am also aware that "more is needed " ....I will post want I wanted to clarify, in the 60' surplus offers Colt 45's for $ 20 bucks....I did not luck out on this offer. I understand that early Colt's had sleeved ballels...the bearing fix was a lmprovent. I have not forgotten one of my biggest faux pas. At 80 plus I have many more memories that I cannot recall. I am a South pas and I remember that day as a teen how that checked grip felt and the kick of that "Colt".

GTA Ukraine , atempted snatching a BMP under fire
Meanwhile in Russia, they seem to be sending train loads of old BTS-4 recovery vehicles to the the front , like Soviet Military before it Russians never fielded numbers of armored recovery vehicles to match the size of its armored forces . Hence all the stuck and abandoned vehicles . BTS-4 is also quite limited in power vs never Brem recovery vehicles as its based on a T55 tank

If they are sending Leapord 1 with the 105 mm there are probably 1,000s of US M60 tanks that would be a rough equivalent that could be sent.

yup. I do have my doubts about this though. I think they dug up old information and drew the wrong conclusions. Also, Those tanks would be useful as FSVs, but not as MBTs.
