Tank on tank is largely irrelevant. If I had to bet they're gonna expend the Leos etc the way both sides' tanks are expended in this war, ie being blown up by ATGMs and mines etc / stuck in terrain and blown up by a drone drop, they're going to best case scenario regain some degree of territory but it won't be decisive, and then they'll have to look long and hard at their economic malaise and remaining willing manpower, downgrade their expectations regarding their ability to regain the lost territory accordingly, and negotiate the best security guarantee they can secure in exchange for de facto acceptance of the de facto line of control.

Another problem is that it's only so many tubes, you have to think about what targets to even launch at.

Nenonen posted:I don't think you will end up in Guantanamo Bay for reading NY Times. Don't think the US is gonna be happy with expending, asspull number incoming, for example 100 Patriot missiles a month indefinitely. I kinda expect that this coming offensive with the Western AFVs is gonna produce inconclusive results and that after that ppl are gonna start thinking about how to freeze the territorial status quo? Surely Russia doesn't want to advance at Bakhmut speeds indefinitely, the West doesn't want to continue dumping ammo money and limited stocks of legacy systems into a bottomless pit, and Ukraine would like to have an economy again at some point.

cant cook creole bream posted:Nothing actually happened yet. But they are escalating things at an increasing pace. It's not like they can just go "Nevermind, all that. I'm sorry let's be friends again." at this point. Yeah it seems like someone's probably gonna die at this point, either Prigozhin or who the gently caress knows else

It's absolutely wild to me that Wagner the dudes is so far following Prig on this. This is absolutely batshit and seems to solely benefit him personally since his power base was crumbling. Or his dudes really are mad at Shoigu. Guess the next test is seeing if they still follow him against a srs attempt by the military to take back control.
