The issue with Abrams is that it takes lots of fuel (+x2), requires more training for mechanics and more maintenance per tank. Its not about their ability to do it. Its about how much of their limited logistical tail is dedicated to one tank that shares more in common with a jet than a tank. How hard it is to operation was never part of it.
How in the name of God is a (base model, never mind all the additional "survival packages" they add) 63 ton tank going to fare in the mud and blood of rasputitsa, when bridges and roads were specifically limited to accommodate Soviet/Russian tank sizes, not great lumbering giants like a fully-tooled M1Awhatever? Additional bridge-layers? Sacrifice some of that precious armour so there's less chance of churning the roads to mud as well? Who knows?
The T-90 is basically just a t72 with the t-80s fire control system and upgraded powerplant. The t90 much like most Russian military equipment, is just hype and always has been hype
Well their hype seems to e winning over the nato game changing equipment. Ukraine has 0 chance of success. 500 000 dead. How many more will be sacrificed for USA geopolitics?

A year ago, there was much discussion about the water supplies that is provided to Crimea via the Dnipro river. Your reporting stated that Ukraine's goal was to cut that water supply. What is the status of this issue?
@TheInfamousMrFox Cutting off water supplies to any population, anywhere, is a collective punishment, and is therefore illegal. If Ukraine's summer offensive had been successful, and they had taken Ukraine, then, in a sense, Crimea might be termed Ukrainian. Historically it is most certainly Russian, ever since Russian armies took it from the Ottomans in the mid- 18th century.
Aren't people in Russia concerned the huge loss of tanks and other equipment in Ukraine leaves them vulnerable to attack elsewhere? What would they do if China invaded Outer Manchuria? Or Japan invaded Sakhalin?
there are nuclear weapons, it will be possible to use them against Japan if they dare to attack Russia. And China is the nearest partner, it is not dangerous. Russia has about 1,500 more tanks, which is quite enough
@@burritosls ruSSia isn't going to fire their poorly maintained, last century rockets at anyone, especially not the west who have modern missiles and missile defences. Certainly not to escape losing a small conventional war. If they're not using them to escape defeat in Ukraine, they won't bother for a couple of Japanese islands they've been illegally occupying. And yes, ruSSia has 1,500 more tanks, but they're 1940s T54/55s.
⚠️ BREAKING NEWS ⚠️ Seen one hour ago … The Telegraph is in bankruptcy 😂 someone wants to buy ? All this stupids comments about Ukraine brings to that 😂😂 well done !
Do we know if the Russian's actually have well qualified tank crews anymore? The discussion about "good crews in the more modern equipment" got me thinking. I suppose they could be held in reserve near Putin, but I'd love some considerations.
Russians have no more tank crews any more, they're all just fresh meat in there, just ordinary farmers manning their military equipment. This correlates very well with the EU comm report that confirms that Russian fighters are now fighting with shovels against the technologically advanced Ukrainians. It didn't click at first but it makes absolute sense now why they use shovels instead of guns and tanks - because they're used to the shovels! being farmers after all
The fate of T-90 was predictable. The Russians had the same problem with the T-34 during the Second World War: "The T 34 was in most cases hopelessly inferior to the German tanks & from a tactical viewpoint the T 34 was inferior to the German tank types (Pz III and Pz IV with long barreled 75 mm gun)" One German regiment destroyed 356 T-34s while losing only 12 in return. Few know that 1084 Matilda tanks were delivered to Russia by Great Britain via the PQ convoys. Probably Putin never learned that either! (lol)

Ramp-up capability? Are people serious with that one? Whatever isn't selling, is gone, no reserve capability to start moving again in a hurry, its about profit, not national security
Around the 28:00 minute mark Finally some sensible talk about how the "problem" with Abrams is almost purely politcal rather than the tank and even the fuel consumption
This "our tanks are better than your tanks " conversation Is childish and about on the level of pre-teenage boys. Look at the strategic level. The Ukrainian counter offensive has failed. The Russians strategy of attrition worked, the combined west's ammunition stocks are almost empty and will take years to replace without even factoring in the diversion of ammunition to the Israelis. The Russians have many times the ammunition manufacturing capacity of the west combined. The Russians are now on the offensive. For all intents and purposes it's over. It's well past time for the Ukrainians to negotiate terms to prevent further unnecessary bloodshed.

Great report ! It was nice hearing Hamish’s thoughts on military equipment etc and the Syrian forces 👍. I never have disagreed with Dom till now . I am of the opinion that Russia is VERY much part of the attack by Hamas. Is it possible that Wagner trained the Hamas militants ? Is it possible to that Russia put a plant in the Israeli military while Bibi and Pootin were playing footsies? I think Bibi has wanted to make this declaration of war . As Petyr Baelish taught : "Sometimes when I try to understand a person’s motives, I play a little game. I assume the worst. What’s the worst reason they could possibly have for saying what they say, or doing what they do? Then I ask myself, ‘how well does that reason explain what they say and what they do?'" .
From my perspective it’s the Russian imperialists that are looking desperate - committing nearly all their forces to the offensive with no backline reserves says that something is very wrong.
Fears & worry they've not been able to take back bakmut & how they lost it will be the same way they'll lose Adivka. The attrition will be helpful to Ukraine but Russia has a long term, multi-national, grind down, world plan 🙈🙄
A country with a long term plan wouldn’t do dumb stuff like potentially trigger a NATO response by blowing up a gas pipeline between two NATO countries. …Unless Russia’s positions being absolutely obliterated by combined NATO missile and air strikes is Putin’s idea of saving face for not being able to turn the land gained into anything other than a mine field and a meat grinder.

Its about how much of their limited logistical tail is dedicated to one tank that shares more in common with a jet than a tank. How hard it is to operation was never part of it.
The issue is 100% about ability to win. Russia can expend ten times as much on fuel, maintenance, mechanics, etc...but if they lose, it is wasted.
