That’s the part of the world that I thought about and it gives me doubts. Estonia used to have ~900 artillery pieces most of them old and short range and decided to change it to a far smaller number of 155mm top of the line ones.

I don’t know how this works, but I choose to trust the expertise of those making this decision (I trust them) over my ignorant gut feeling.

I’m Estonian myself.

You seem to be proud of Russia’s rapists and murderers.

What a stupid and deliberately inflammatory thing to say.

I didn’t get that at all from LTGM’s comments. In fact, it appears that LTGM, like most of us, is repulsed and disgusted at the thought of these vicious Wagner thugs. They are the lowest of the low.

What is wrong with you? < /rhetorical question>

No comment on him calling me a b*tch? If you people can’t take it then don’t start it.

Nope. Because he didn’t call you that. He told you not to be a stupid B. That’s different.

Yet, I see you people going around here making false accusations, twisting people’s words to fit your agenda, disparaging the character of those who disagree with you and I believe I even saw you threatening a couple of posters for stating that exacerbation of this conflict could lead to a nuclear exchange. You accused them of threatening FReepers with nukes and made some vague threats invoking the FBI.

If you people can’t take being rebuked for your egregious tactics, then straighten up or shut your pie hole.

Different tanks means different spare parts, possibly different ammo. Plus training tank crews, mechanics, etc. Logistic nightmare.
As a former tanker and small unit tactical trainer a billion years ago I could probably do ok in an M1 or Bradley after 1-2 days of training. Longer in a T-72 which is what the Ukranians are used too.
