How would you utilize your Leopard 2 and Challenger 2 tanks?
But I like the idea of a hundred Leopard 2s and Challengers working as one, like the Rohirrim, smashing all they encounter.
This is actually quite troubling...Russia hunts for spies and traitors — at home
In wartime repression, the Kremlin reaches for a well-worn playbook to induce mass fear.www.politico.eu
They have the example of the Molotov Line from 1941Do you think anyone has reminded the Russians of the Maginot Line, Atlantic Wall, Siegfried Line, and what happened then?
Putin's hold on power and reliance on public apathy was shaken when the Kursk submarine sank. How much longer can nearly 200,000 and growing wives/mothers see their husbands/sons coming home shattered or dead before they say, enough? By summer there will be a quarter million dead or wounded Russians.That is... mind-boggling! 100,000 casualties for a town that had 70,000 inhabitants pre-war. And they haven't won there yet.

A correction is due here. That are the casualties in all Ukraine since December and not only in Bakhmut. Still mind-blogging!
"A previous version of this article included information from a Monday briefing where National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Russia suffered 100,000 casualties, including more than 20,000 killed in action, in Bakhmut since December. NSC deputy spokesman Sean Savett said later Monday that those figure account for all of Russia's losses across Ukraine, not just in Bakhmut, since December."
Yeah...that's still 25,000 casualties per month in a period where fighting was, theoretically at least, at a lower intensity than during the summer months. I wonder what the casualty figures will be in September?
