How do MBTs materially change a conflict where every participant has (tens of) millions of landmines ready for deployment?
What good do MBTs do in isolation against attack helicopters with 15km-range ATGMs?
- AstralStorm 3y agoIf even that. Think cheaper, like kamikaze (or not) explosive drones. (Substitute armor piercing as needed.) MBTs do not have sufficient AA or ECM capability ever. Either a specialty formation is required or something carrier sized to have a chance. Their existence is the old strategy of demolition and suppression of infantry. (At the last of which they do not quite succeed.)
- coryrc 3y agoWe have enough active military equipment to fight land wars with two superpowers simultaneously. We have enough of all equipment to give to Ukraine. Not lease or sell, just get them to win without losing so many people. Fuck, give them a carrier group. Rain tomahawks down on St Petersburg and Moscow. Destroy every oil terminal and arms factory.
