Your link is from 2023, under sleepy Joe Biden's presidency, back when the US was trying to develop EV tanks.
Those morons are long gone.
What the US Army’s green light for the M1E3 Abrams fielding tells us about the future of Main Battle Tanks
www.armyrecognition.com
"On May 1, 2025, the U.S. Army formally
confirmed its intention to field the M1E3 Abrams tank, further confirming the acceleration of the modernization of the Abrams platform. The new tank is expected to enter service within 24 to 30 months, well ahead of the originally projected 2030 timeline.
It means that they may demonstrate the "pre-prototype" this december. It means that real building of real tanks didn't start yet. And anyway, it will be "modernization", not "scratch-new" tanks
This acceleration reflects a strategic shift in the Army’s acquisition approach, aiming to overcome bureaucratic delays and outdated risk management practices in order to rapidly equip armored formations with a lighter, more survivable, and technologically advanced main battle tank capable of addressing evolving threats."
Bla-bla-bla. Right now you have no tank production at all. Say nothing about real mass-production of optic-fiber UAVs for $500 each.
So losing how many Russian cities do you consider a win?
Previous time Germans had destroyed 1710 cities and towns and 70000 villages. But we had won. And it is not about losing and taking cities. It is about elimination of the threats. If we lost more than half of our cities, but our enemies are totally eliminated we had won.
You forget that NATO includes the everyone in NATO.
Yep. And they will have a choice - to gather money all together, or die all together.
I hope you don't have any relatives that died in Ukraine for nothing.
Actually, one of my Ukrainian cousins was drafted and killed. But every man is responsible for his own life. My another cousin emigrated in Israel in 2015 when he realised what is going to happen.
Soldiers dying does not make an army stronger.
Of course they make. Weak and stupid are getting killed or arrested and the fittest survive and study.
Just like Russian ships sinking doesn't make your navy stronger.
It makes Navy smarter.
Or, planes being destroyed makes your air force stronger.
Experience is invaluable.
Russia's oligarchs may decide on a new puppet after Putin retires, but no one is going to make Putin leave until he chooses to
There are no oligarchs in Russia. At least not in the Western understanding of the term. Yesterday you was a richest man in Russia, but another day you hanged on your own scarf in your London house. They don't rule. Backroom boys do. When they choose that there is time for rebranding - they remove Presidents (as it was with Eltzin).
Maybe not, but they can stop buying Russian oil and gas.
No problem. Without Russian oil their economy will collapse and they won't be able make more tanks. And with more oil we'll produce more tanks.
We hope for a peace deal so no one needs to die.
No need for hope. You either accept our quite generous peace proposals or don't accept.
There are no rebellions in Ukraine for reunification with Russia, only your Russian propaganda.
There were rebellions. Some of them were supressed by SBU, but rebellions in Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk were successful. But if it is necessary for Ukrainian SBU and Russian FSB (and both of them will be interested in it) there will be rebellions.
Ukraine is fighting for its independence from Russia. Any foreign peacekeepers in Ukraine will be welcomed as heroes.
Didn't they say you same things about Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan?
Any SBU troublemakers will be dealt with by local Ukrainians. There will be no justification for any future Russian invasions.
There will be justification. One way, or another. Anyway, Russia won't allow them.
Stop making shit up. Sign the ******* peace deal.
Say "please". Just kidding. There will be no peace, for Europe doesn't want peace. First of all, you should learn that Russians are human beings and have all human rights. Without that understanding all negotiations are useless.
