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.

I'm disappointed. We used to have a number of posters on this forum that were very vocal about the supremacy of Russian equipment, and were ready and willing to insert such opinions into nearly any conversation. (In truth, it was mostly Soviet equipment or derivatives that were being discussed, but whatevs. Those largely sucked too.) Are we not talking about this anymore? In truth, I only came back here to see the "muh monkey model" rationalizations and mine a little salt, but we seem to be talking around that subject entirely without addressing the rather obvious elephant in the room. Again, very disappointing, but I suppose when this is all over and enough years have elapsed for those with short attention spans to forget the recent past, they'll start talking about it again, and we'll get to hear yet again about how good the ACTSHUAL T-72 truly is. I miss those days, and I look forward to the return of those delusional muppets. They could be annoying, but they were entertaining nonetheless.
