    It kept going there for quite a while. I guess until the Bradley hit the ammo.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                Russia has a huge Black Sea problem. Even if they could, Turkey won't let their navy through the straits to reenforce what they have.

                So what they have, is what they have. And what they have, is dwindling...

                              @Wim very interesting stuff about the importance and effectiveness of drone warfare.

                              He claims that it makes artillery partially obsolete. I’m not sure how true that is, but it’s certainly an interesting claim.
