While Ukraine could carry out overhauls it did not produce blades. In late 2020 testing with new ones produced by Motor-Sich started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the force structure you have, it's how you use it. Israel had only Brigades in 1973, but it was able to outfight Arab divisions 2 or three times their size. Israel had divisions and now also have them. I wouldnt compare arab armies with Russian army. I doubt that IDF would do the same if battled with North Korean or Vietnam army. Arabs mostly have officers asigned by loyality not by profesionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's entirely appropriate to compare Arabs to the Russian Army. The Egyptians in 1973 did better than this. You clearly underrate the Israelis. Yes they made mistakes, they also didn't integrate infantry well in armoured Brigades. But they didn't win because the Arabs were inept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See also the comment from someone who should know better about them looking like tubes of mastic... Russian apfsds always looks fake to me because it's the wrong color. My brain expects 'proper' ap ammo to be black with white or yellow markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was reported in the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, RIA Novosti reports. The security of financial aid points is provided by the Russian Guard. "People are informed through the media, and then they pass the information to relatives, neighbors," said Alexander Chupriyan, acting head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. According to him, the first mobile point started its work the day before. Employees of the department accept documents from people and make payments. Chupriyan stressed that the task will be completed in full. https://www.bfm.ru/news/496036 What does 10k rubles buy a person? I have no idea what prices are like, so on the groceries for two people scale are we talking weeks, months, or longer? Looking at a straight up conversion to dollars it's just shy of $100 which you could stretch to a week for two people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not "armored doctrine" but Combined Arms Doctrine that is needed. Use your Infantry and scouts + tactical air to screen the tanks from the anti tank units. Artillery and mortars to fire on known and suspected anti tank positions. Tactics that go back to at least World War II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaguar Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Sensible request on his part, although impossible to be granted. Light weapons, as good as they might be, doesn´t win regular wars by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
