Russia will get their azzes kicked if the UAF/ZSU can master combined arms & logistics to support an armored assault. But we just don't know effective those Russian trenches/minefields will be. If the UAF/ZSU gets stalled, they may be open for lots of arty & take losses.
So many unknowns! :oops:
UAF/ZSU offensive is emminent once the mud dries up. Consensus is they are going to try and cut off the Russian land bridge, which will help isolate Crimea.
The next 6 months are going to be dramatic. Slava Ukrani!
I think the UAF/ZSU already has enough captured equipment. We're now see lots of vids of drones dropping grenades into abandoned vehicles in order to destroy them.
M2 Bradley on left, Slovenia T-55S on the right. The T-55 is a significantly upgraded version. UA/ZSU is working hard to get ready...
Amazon....why drive to BB&B if you can buy something sitting on your butt for lower prices. If you don't like, just drop it off and get refunded.
It's just too easy to click on Amazon and order what you want.
Biggest difference is the absence of air power. The contrast with this war and Desert Storm is night & day.
It does give US airpower a boost in regards to the Pacific (i.e. less airpower is needed in Europe).
But a major war would only expedite an ecomonic crisis and further isolate foreign trade. And occupying Taiwan does little if anything to fix what you've described.
And FWIW, Japan is also facing a similar crisis with not enough young people.
They need foreign trade "friends" and their markets are not as solid as those in the US. They are economically vulnerable (whether they realize it or not).
