I believe a few months ago, you stated the problems with these tanks, specifically getting stuck in the mud. Now that is a reality.

Neither one if us went to War College, yet we had enough common sense to see the impending issues. Why didn’t the NATO and US generals or Ukrainian generals see” this? Get rid of them.

US generals were too busy trying to figure out what pronouns to use.

$200 drones seem to be quite effective against our Multi Billion Dollar Hi Tech Military Toys. But, they keep Raytheon & Co. very profitable.

They did ‘get rid of them’. The tanks are now mired in the muck of Ukraine and off ‘the lot’ of NATO, US, etc war material stockpiles.

Problem is neither of you are right.

The tanks are working.

Russia lost nearly 3000 tanks so far and just lost another amphibious assault ship last night.

If the mud is so bad an abrams won’t go a Russian tank won’t either

I like that you keep score on the war loses of Russia; it is testament of how very wasteful and destructive and Needless it's all been.

This is the best blog site that documents losses on both sides.

Who supplies the information?

Everyone, Russia, Ukrainian, etc.

They take OSINT. For example, a few weeks ago Ukraine lost 2 patriot launchers to a Russian attack and 4 Abrams tanks.

Those are documented there too.

attacks by drones; modern warfare has morphed--i know there's anti-drone technology and counter-weaponry, so it's a wonder they're effective on the battlefield; i've wondered for 10 years why there aren't more hit jobs done by drone around the world by criminal and political entities, or is media and law enforcement clueless when it occurs?

2012 article - no telling how many are used now or for what reason. You just don't hear about it.

I do give rare credit to Rolling Stone, and even the Playboy magazine of old on an occasional article that would point out an egregious military plan to make war on Americans should our "leaders" determine it was necessary. One thumbs up for every 99 down i suppose? Yes, I only utilized Playboy for the news articles.
