Feels good, man.
Love covert cobal, great first hand research and analysis!
Don’t forget high marsed. This has been a collab between the two.
Ukraine needs to be supplied greatly in tanks from the west in response.
Don’t worry, 100% of them will be scrapped.
700 useable tanks with an expected loss rate that in at least a year and a half the Russians will have tank problems. It seems far in the future but it’s less than half of how long it’s been.
So how much would this impact their combat effectiveness? You mostly hear about cruise missiles and guys being marched into drones in the one-the-ground reporting, although obviously armoured stuff happens.
You assume they don’t have cold war era bunkers full of tanks
Why would russia be deploying so many T-64, T-62 and even T-55 tanks if they had “cold war era bunkers full” of better tanks?
The video did touch on that. Most of the older tanks had less electronics and simpler engines so they were far easier to bring back into combat condition. Combat efficiency is different however…
Even with Chinese chips, I don’t expect they’ll get much better at fixing modern tanks, though, so that’s somewhat mitigated unless they get direct help from a less incompetent party. (I haven’t watched the video yet)
