I see no evidence to suggest otherwise
The thousands of destroy Russian tanks is not because the era of the tank is over but more that the era of artillery has being revitalised thanks to drones.
The only way these western tanks won't be destroyed is if Ukraine has air superiority and can eliminate the Russian artillery before the tanks push forward. So perhaps Ukraine should have waited till it has 100 or 200 F16s before going on the offensive
Or
We can go back to ww2 tank design and start building huge super heavy tanks that can survive artillery shells

Did you go on holiday in 2003 when we invaded Iraq and helped to kill 40,000 soldiers and 10,000 civilians?

Because it was the cold war and Turkey controls the entrance to the Black Sea and to the Med from the Black Sea. It made perfect sense to have them in NATO and still does even though they don't have NATOs best interests at heart a lot of the time.

I don't agree with what we did, but yes, as a citizen of the UK I share some responsibility. I still call myself British, and in doing so I would expect some Iraqis to laugh if a video emerged of me being run over by a combined harvester.

To troll the Greeks.

They were aligned in opposition to the Soviet Union. Which is what NATO was about. And it is in a strategically import location.
Also, times change, under its current leader Turkey has moved away from its historical alignment.

Also in that region Turkey IS the one you would want in.
Knowing people in turkey the European Turks think, act and want to live very much like us
The problem is they are outweiged in numbers but the less western thinking non-europeans hence why you saw the election and promises you saw recently.

That didnt happen in WW2 either sadly, rthe Maus was the only 1 that might have taken a hit, with 8 inches of armour on the roof - but the T28 and Tortoise couldnt. What we`ll have is AI controlled drone swarms an optic camoflage

It seems the counter offensive even using western equipment is not going to be the pushover many (including me to a certain extent) assumed.
Drones have totally changed the modern battlefield.

That could equally be Ukraine, they have their own problems with addiction sadly.
Yep. I have a fairly thick skin and dark sense of humour but that was absolutely awful. Imagine watching your own son being eaten alive.

It was never going to be a pushover. Russia is now defending fixed positions and the last year has shown their leadership will take shocking losses in pursuit of objectives.
I don't think that close to real time updates are helpful, to be honest. It's probably more helpful to accept that progress may be slow, on the whole, while looking for a weak point to exploit.
Not aimed at you personally- just my general view.

Another good example is the first reply to that tweet.
They were never realistically just going to steamroll the Russians everywhere. It will take time and there will be loses on the Ukraine side too.
