@Renauda do you have a sense, from your friends, etc, who are in the thick of the conflict, of how things are going?
Recent reports seem to indicate that Russia is making progress in the East, albeit slow. British MoD agrees with this, but they also say that as the continue to move Westward supplies will be constrained, and the move will be costly.

The Ukrainians know their history:

@Renauda one of the things that's been a hallmark of this strategy is the poor supply line logistics of the Russians. It doomed them in their attempted blitzkrieg attack on Kiev.
Looks like the Ukrainians are picking up that strategy in the east.
Hope it continues to work.

In the thread, there are comments saying that the contracts under which Germany acquired the weapons have restrictions as to how they can, and IF they can, sell/give to 3rd parties.
And, because I'm a Twitter n00b, I can't find it.
Wait...

"Refused to fight"
Really?
There may be something to that, though I would like to see more reporting and think tank commentary on it.

Meanwhile, back at a far greater tragedy...

@Mik said in The Ukraine war thread:
Sounds pretty credible. We will see.
This guy is keeping track of Russian and Ukrainian losses - but only those with photo-documentation of said losses.
He claims a total of 736 Russian tanks lost as of tonight.
By his count
20 T90s
132 T80sThe rest are T70s or older/inferior.
