What kit does Ukraine need to keep the offensive going over the autumn and winter? Warm and water/weather proof clothing and boots of course, but what about vehicles? How about track width extensions for the T-series and NATO-origin MBTs? In WW2 the Germans had Winterketten, is that still a thing? Today's modern MBTs rely on deep side skirts for protection, so that might prevent track extensions.
All the modern tanks in Ukraine (on both sides) have fairly wide (0.5m or greater) tracks already and so do the more modern IFVs/APCs such as Bradly and CV90. Therefore I doubt this is a concern.
 
It was the 14. Waffen-Grenadier Division der SS (galizische Nr. 1).
Not the smartest move on the part of Canada.

There are those who have a vested interest in keeping this going. Continually picking the scab off a wound guarantees that it will never heal. The actual victims of ancient outrages are rarely the most vocal, it is those who have something to gain who seek publicity. This is not doing anyone any good.
 
While we're talking about ATACMs, Ukraine isn't getting the bunker buster warheads. The AFU is going to be receiving the cluster bomblets munitions. These aren't supposed to be useful for destroying the Kerch Bridge. "Poppycock!" I say. Let's lob a few, like when a freight train is on it, and let's see what happens. If only out of scientific curiosity.
 
How far do we go back in time to seetth over this? The folks in the Middle East have kept these feuds going for thousands of years and look what it has done to them.
We don't go back at all - we get no blame or credit for anything our ancestors did. But this isn't about going back in time, or encouraging thousand year old feuds. Ukraine, Germany, Canada and Israel all get along as members of the liberal democratic world order - there is no feud. But this is contemporary, not ancient history - this guy was there, he served the Nazis, and Canadians are right to be aghast that our government chose to celebrate him.

Ukraine special forces claim the death of black see fleet admiral was confirmed along with 33 more officers. 105 soldiers were wounded. I'd say Jackpot!:punch:

If he had been tried & convicted as a war criminal, I'd agree with you... but he was not even accused of war crimes as far as I know. Any evidence that he participated in war crimes?

Ooooh, that's gotta hurt.
