First Ukrainian M1 Abrams Tank Crews Complete Training

Ukraine's M1 Abrams tanks are set to arrive in the next few weeks and they are likely to be rushed to the front before the rains hit.

I thought that everyone was saying that the training would take many months?

I'll chip in a buck.

With apologies for the deliberate pun...probably worth more than the company, though.

It was probably presold to one of Putin's mates

It looks like Ukraine needs to have paratroops to make a decisive hit behind the lines but unfortunately with modern antiaircraft systems that would probably be impossible

Ukraine has made "some notable progress" in its counteroffensive against Russian forces in the southern Zaporizhzhia region, the US government says.

First send in the AGM-45 Shrike-armed Fulcrams, Flankers and Fencers, combined with hundreds of drones to detect, distract and destroy the Russian SAMs and air defence sensors. Then send in the Paras, ideally in several smaller aircraft along with decoys, rather than small numbers of larger aircraft.

Can the Frogfoot carry the AGM-45? What about assault gliders, like the Ilyushin Il-32? If made of wood, can they be detected? Of course the towing aircraft would be.

You'd want rapid deployment - gliders would not be ideal in this setting.

Ukraine has a fleet of An-26s - those would do nicely.

Shrikes?? Err HARMs would be more likely.
