ICTChris Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 The US has said they are paying for 45 T-72 tanks to be refitted in Czechs and shipped to Ukraine. The Netherlands are going to pay for 45 as well. The Ukrainians have been asking for tanks for a good while. Spain and the US are also sending anti aircraft systems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've probably received more from battlefield acquisitions than from their "allies". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captured equipment now exceeds 50% of Ukrainian armor totals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad they didn't add Putin huilo in cyrillic on their way over to Cyprus. Betting against deliberate. A KC-135 in a refueling track can only adjust flight speed a certain amount, and if an aircraft needing to refuel is entering the refueling track out of sync with the tanker, a common maneuver for the tanker is a wide circle that is adjusted to have the tanker roll out about 3-5 miles in front of the refueling aircraft. A normal oval refueling track is flown with left hand turns, to make the turns to the Captain’s side…the wide circle to the SE corner would be a wide circle with the re-entry to the track occurring with the Captain having a good view of the inbound aircraft they were joining with. The SW circle could be a need to fuel a joined aircraft for an extra couple of minutes while not dragging it away from its break off point, as the following left turn would potentially result in poor vision of a joining aircraft coming from the south. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpa Joe getting up from his rocking chair and completely bodying China, Russia and the other BRICS nations’ multi year plan for a new financial world order by fooling Putin into a farcical invasion of Ukraine is my new favourite fact. Praise for Biden must be tough from a deep state theorist, MAGA hero like Fat Kimmy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
