you know that, I know that so why are we looking at increasing our munitions output over the next decade?Russia absolutely will not stop until they are resoundingly defeated on the battlefield.
A lot of tanks seem to be employed as field guns and assault guns. The rig shown would seem more like a Stug/Jagdpanzer or Swedish S-tank.Did the tank survive contact?
This one didn't.Did the tank survive contact?
Stupid people gotta stupid.Apparently that 'turtle tank' did survive the attack.
It was then geo-located by one of it's crew posing for a picture with his 'local dollie' and it then drew a (HIMARS?) strike that destroyed it, and several other tanks in the same building/garage.

Bizarre Russian tank spotted in Ukraine
Some of the upgraded main battle tanks Russia pulled from storage and sent to Ukraine have been spotted on the battlefield sporting bizarre metal protective shields humorously dubbed the "Iron Mess." Ukrainian defenders spotted an unconventional sight on the battlefield: a T-72 tank outfitted...defence-blog.com
We may laugh at the solution, but it illustrates just how serious the Russians feel the threat from small UAV's is to their forces. Makes you wonder if we're taking the threat anywhere near serious enough ourselves.
Well imagine that.....Wow. I agree with Sean Penn and Barbara Streisand on something. Down is up! Dogs are laying with cats!
I doubt that will happen for at least 5 years. However, once the Ukraine front is under control and while they still have a lot of battle hardened troops (the survivors of 3 years of meat wave and mechanised single file attacks) they will go after Moldova. Unless NATO absorbs them first - at least as a probationary member but eligible for article 5 protection.Now if Putin makes a move on the Baltic states or towards Poland, Finland or Romania that's a whole different story.

Ukraine faces Russian ‘meat storms,’ military chiefs warn as U.S. aid stalls
Pressure is intensifying on the U.S. Congress to pass additional aid to Ukraine, with senior military leaders in Canada and the U.S. issuing stark warnings this week that Russia will overwhelm the Ukrainians unless ammunition starts flowing to Kyiv soon.
The mounting pressure comes as Ukraine has passed a controversial law to expand military conscription in the country, hours after Russia launched another round of missile strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities overnight Thursday.
“The strikes in Ukraine over the past 24 hours are another terrible reminder that Ukraine’s need is critical,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday as she urged the U.S. House of Representatives to hold a vote on whether to approve billions of dollars in new aid.
Yet Canada’s political leaders are continuing to express confidence that U.S. support for Ukraine will ultimately prevail, with Defence Minister Bill Blair most recently calling the legislative logjam in Washington “a bump in the road.”
On Wednesday, U.S. Army Gen. Christopher Cavoli — the commander of U.S. European Command who also serves as NATO’s supreme allied commander in Europe — told the U.S. House Armed Services Committee that Ukraine will exhaust its existing artillery and air defence munition stocks “in fairly short order” without continued U.S. support.
Russia, he added, is expected to have a 10-1 advantage on artillery shells “within weeks.”
“Based on my experience in 37-plus years in the U.S. military, if one side can shoot and the other side can’t shoot back, the side that can’t shoot back loses,” he said. “So, the stakes are very high.”
Similarly, Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre told the same Senate defence committee meeting attended by Blair on Monday that Russia is already outgunning Ukraine at a rate of four to one.
He added the Russians have also shown “a much lower regard for life” by sending waves of expendable soldiers into battle in a tactic the Ukrainians have called “meat storms,” quickly replacing them by recruiting from a far larger population.

And the "meat storms." Attacks where only the first Russian wave had weapons.
