Turkey is also a massive tourist destination for Russians.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.
Defenders always have an advantage, they say in war attackers lose 5 to 1.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.
A third of the way to tokmak. That's fairly impressive gain. If they get to Tokmak, the Russians are gonna start crapping themselves.Ukraine best success so far was capturing Robotyne, it's the furthest southern point. No footage from the area but the Russians claim the Ukrainian brigade that took it was the 47th, equipped with Bradleys
Western tankies keep trying to **** around to find out
Unfortunately, a counter attack without air superiority is always going to be costly.I suppose it was to be expected but I still hate seeing it
Yeah it sucks. But as mentioned elsewhere.. it's war, there are gonna be losses. We all hope for a collapse but they are dug in, so gonna be tough. This was always the most likely attack vector, because it splits russian forces if successful.I suppose it was to be expected but I still hate seeing it
Russia would love turkey to leave NATO and join BRACS, but NATO membership stops russia from invading.. I’m not sure BRACS would provide the same.Turkey is also a massive tourist destination for Russians.
They have a vested interest in keeping out of it as much as they can.
I just hope NATO punish them in some way, there is no doubt Turkey is playing both sides in this conflict.
As long as the crews survived that's more important, can always rebuild those vehicles faster than you can raise a crew member from birth to crew member, the Leo looks in pretty decent shape as well, if we're to take positivesI suppose it was to be expected but I still hate seeing it
Claims the leopard is already recovered and minor repairs needed
How's that supposed to work? Wouldn't they just Storm Shadow it?Wonder what they are up to (apart from building a base), what's the reasoning for it
