This means that you have to train crews for each specific tank, and if one tank breaks down, you cannot use parts of another tank to repair it.
Sure, but they have trained crews for each specific tank.
Nobody in Europe wants to fight Russia, the calls for conscription are much more likely to topple pro NATO governments than accomplish anything else. People are already literally rioting all across Europe, and anti war parties are gaining popularity by the day.
I don’t know what riots you’re talking about, the pension protests in France? The farmers protests in Germany, Belgium and the UK?
Anti-Russian sentiment is very strong, especially in Eastern Europe, and most of the large nations are likely to have enough volunteers to remove the need for conscription in the mid term.
Nothing of the sort happened. Only thing EU managed to achieve was to drive up the price.
Ammunition production across Europe has significantly increased, and continues to increase, the price has gone up per shell sure, but that doesn’t contradict an increase in production.
The only western source that provides any actual methodology puts Russian losses at around 47k, it’s absurd to call that considerable for a country with a population of 140 million.
The source you linked doesn’t place losses “around” 47k, it established 47k as the absolute minimum, and provides a higher estimate based on excess mortality. With roughly 100k dead, you’d normally expect to see 2-3x that in injuries rending personnel unfit for service with modern battlefield medicine, and 300-400k gone is more than the entire Russian active combat personnel before the escalation of the war in 2022.
Russia has already stated that they will continue to push in Ukraine and will directly engage NATO if NATO decides to put boots on the ground. This an existential war for Russia, and it’s not about Ukraine. The war is about NATO expansion, and Russia will call NATO bluffs.
Assuming it is a bluff. Russia is already bordered by NATO in the Baltic for hundreds of miles, it can survive a NATO Ukraine in the same way that China has survived being surrounded by US allies along it’s entire eastern border.
Only if you would otherwise have bought it. If you never had any intention to buy the thing, the rightful owner loses nothing.
