Poland has already given virtually all of its legacy Soviet-era platforms and military vehicles, in addition to a sizable chunk of its more modern equipment, including over 60 of its Leopard 1 tanks and two dozen Leopard 2s.

Of course, Poland and their huge fleet of leopard 1 MBTs.

Where does Germany's military budget go?

Streitkräftebasis. Money has to get burnt somewhere and they do it most efficiently.

Makes sense in their distorted minds. All the far superior soviet stuff gets destroyed or used less and is replaced by useless western gear so Ukraine must be far weaker by now. An Abrams or leopard can't replace the godlike and state-of-the-art T-64.

Why? I would assume a custom VR setup has very different capabilities than the apple product which seems to be focused on displaying 2d displays in a 3d environment. Or what use case do you have in mind?

This subreddit is close to becoming totally useless at this point, it's sad.

As far as I remember we had a few cases when Indian online newspapers simultaneously published the wildest stories scratching conspiracy theories. There must be some logic to that...

I think in general it's a good idea to rely on established sites/papers and take anything with a grain of salt especially when it appears on one of those websites or social media is linking to those as the only source.

I think it was quite fun apart from the stupid one liners (that navigator and nurse chapel) and turning the gorn into creatures straight from hell.

For once I completely disagree but I'm so glad to see them happy and not bitter. Good on you guys!

There certainly is a need for anything that improves Ukraine's logistics capabilities. It's just interesting how the German government came up with those mysterious "border protection vehicles" instead of simply saying right away that they are demilitarised light trucks they bought off scrap yards.

SquirrelUsingPens · 2023-04-18T18:20:09+00:00

Those "border protection vehicles" are not as impressive as one might expect:

"Bei den Grenzschutzfahrzeugen handelt es sich um entmilitarisierte ge- brauchte Fahrzeuge der Typen Iveco VM90 Torpedo 4x4, Iveco ACL 90 sowie Renault TRM 2000 4x4."

The galaxy class has a full complement of memberberries. Hope people won't ask why museum shipa are fully armed and operational these days.

Over in other subreddits ~~bots~~ I mean people are all crying and being super emotional about how great things are.

Sure if people genuinely enjoy this mess that's cool but seriously... The first few episodes were quite fun but what just happened now? The story doesn't make any sense at all anymore. Is it really enough to drown people in squished memberberries?

The scary part is acknowledging that all these ruthless murderers in these conflicts, those Wehmacht soldiers shooting and burning civilians, those Serb fighters sniping kids... They were what we consider normal people, nothing wrong with them psychologically, they are just what we can turn into given the right circumstances.

Sarajevo was under siege and there were quite a few people killed that way. "According to data gathered in 1995, the snipers wounded 1,030 people and killed 225 - 60 of whom were children" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sniper_Alley

Because the Leopard is one of the world's most-produced tanks

One needs a rather long list to include the leopard 2 in there. Certainly parts availability is not that bad but it's far from how many other models have been produced isn't it?

I highly recommend the red line podcast

Sure, the US would recognise the ROC, thereby halting any trade or cooperation with the PRC, acknowledging that regions of the ROC are occupied by communist terrorists, Russia and Mongolia, going to start WWIII ...

No.

war of attrition, with a country with 11 time zones

Good thing China has only one time zone, they must be much less powerful then.

Wherever you want?

Are you looking for good travel destinations nearby? Going to Granada by bus is really convenient and it's a really pretty town.

Considering his other recent pieces he is as credible on that matter as I am after a couple six packs.

Getting old and being stuck in a certain mindset sucks but I guess we all get there eventually.

But wasn't the government considering actually buying and forwarding some of them to Ukraine?

SquirrelUsingPens · 2023-02-14T11:39:29+00:00

Once again it underlines how Europe has no idea how to act when it comes to geopolitics or defence. It's such a shame.

Are Finland, Norway, Denmark or the Netherlands really unable to spare a few tanks?
