I'm surprised tanks are so vulnerable. I thought they'd be impervious.

Leading them down streets with weaker roads is absolute genius though.

I want to believe it but it wouldnt be hard to have a satnav in a tank seeing as phones etc have access to google maps

I was in an armoured regiment, our light tanks had less ground pressure per square foot than an adult human.

They are vulnerable though ‘if’ you have the right weapons.
The best defense against a tank is another tank

Indeed. I am vaguely optimistic this evening

I dont think Ukraine can win, without help on the ground.

but I am also optimistic they can force a stalemate and get Putin to a table to talk peace, they have to hang on, I guess Putin thought rush in and it would be all over while we slept and its gone to shit for him. Longer it goes on the more chance it becomes a stalemate and gives the Ukraine a chance to salvage something.

I have a new found respect for Ukraine.

and very very potent as is the Javelin, they be doing some hellish damage and slowing the Russians for sure, the Stingers from Latvia/Lithuania and the Drones from Turkey are also very handy altho the Russian Pantsyr-S1M ground to air missile/gun system will likely be able to take the drones out with impunity as it's recently been upgraded with hypersonic armament..

China abstaining is key. Obviously never going to vote for it, but by this they’re effectively distancing themselves from Putin.

Putin is now totally isolated and possibly very nearly finished, I just hope he doesn’t intend to go out with a bang.

He can't do that on his own. He's finished, reports say he's been isolating himself over the past 18 month and took comfort in his faith. Wouldn't surprise me if he was forcibly removed very soon.

I'll drink to that.
 
Listen folks!
All I’m saying is I’m not wanting to lose my life over someone else’s ideology, whether they’re wrong or right.
