    How do you know....no one is worried?

    There was no "word" on HIMARS either....yet here we are?

    Medvedev even stated that this is ....."escalation"?

    If no one bothered by it.....why claim escalation?

    Ukraine will probably just cut it off.
    All of the bridges are very vulnerable to air strikes and other long range systems.

    There is plenty of word. Canada has started, Poland has started. But it is anticipated to take a month or two yet for significant deliveries to be made, as training is still underway and tanks are still being prepared for delivery. For instance:

    Spain repairs Leopard 2 tanks for Ukraine

    Spain began repairing Leopard 2 tanks, which will soon be transferred to Ukraine. At the same time, the training of Leopard 2 crews continues.

    This was stated by the Minister of Defense of Spain, Margarita Robles, in an interview with La Vanguardia.

    “There are several Leopard modifications: 2A4 and 2A6. 2А4 that were stored in Zaragoza in deplorable conditions are now being repaired. Soon the overhaul will be completed,” she stated.

    More future tense. Makes no difference now, does it?

    Yeah, I've seen those cemeterys on the evening news. Row after row of fresh graves with row after row of holes dug just waiting for an occupant.

    And just what do you suppose the battlefield situation will be when those few tanks do get there?

    The old phrase "a day late and a dollar short" comes to mind.

    Checks in the mail. Abrams won’t be seen in Ukraine until next year.

    Maybe. Either way, help is on the way, and Challenger II and Leopard 2A4 and 2A6 will be there much sooner.

    Well....HIMars did liberate a $hitload of territory...so yeah a game changer.

    Doesn't matter what transpires in Bakmut....the ultimate goal is destruction of Mafiosi military....Bakhmut was a great place to kill Orcs....what...40k+ dead and counting....for some "town"?

    Right....for every yard...1000+ dead orcs?

    What's that??....spend $1...to save a nickel?

    Jeepers,at that rate...by the time Bakmut falls ....Russki military will be non existant?

    Vatniks are many things....you may as well include stupid in there too...now.

    Yeah, Bakhmut doesn't matter. That's why the Ukros have been throwing reinforcements into it for months now. All for naught. Time to retreat and take a stand in some other place that doesn't matter.

    Send the Abrams now. Then we can see how they burn when Russian Kornets find them. Just like the Leopards is how.

    Yup....Kremlin has a funny way of protecting Russian speakers ...in so called "Russki held territory":roflol:, destroy a Russki speaking town that voted 99% in favor of joining RF....I'm still laughing....Woogs.....

    UAF throwing re inforcements?....I think you got it the other way....more like Wankers tossing their vermin?

    Well...when the spring offensive rolls around....it'll be another story.

    I understand Melitopol is restless.....lotsa insurgency happening....the residents will be more than happy to see the UAF roll into town...just like Kherson.:)

    Sounds like the clocks ticking on the Mafiosi....Woogs....Red lights out....all seats sold,dude.:mrgreen:

    Thanks to the media hoopla those tanks have bullseyes painted on them. Every Russian artillery battery will be constantly gunning for them.

    Fake news, Billy. The ruZZian propagandists have been posting pics of blown-up Leos from Syria and claiming they were destroyed in Ukraine.

    Because that's all ruZZia has, Billy: Lies and damned lies.
