So, less than half?
Till 1980 - maybe.After that,soviet tanks and planes were inferior.Same as other nations.
It's a little funny that something that in theory is an armored personnel carrier, de facto acts as a Wheeled Combat Infantry Vehicle.Ukrainian Troops training in Poland on Rosomak Armored Fighting Vehicles.

In fact, as far as I know. Our military really liked the BWP-2/BMP-2 with its firepower. Therefore, when looking for a successor to the SKOT, they wanted powerful firepower, hence the Rosomak (Wolverine) has a 30mm cannon like armament. Which combined with the fact that all the time mechanized troops stuck with the BWP-1. So by some coincidence it became a Combat Infantry Vehicle but Wheeled.Yeah the vocabulary used can be pretty distinctive or broad depending on the reader that using a catchall term of 'Armored Fighting Vehicle" sometimes seems preferable to me. Especially since the Rosomak never struck me quite as an Armored Personnel Carrier as I think of them.
Good to knew.Big mistake,that we sell them - our army need it more,and now when Ukraine is not falling,and continue to show us fuck with UPA monuments,we do not have reasons to help them anymore.In fact, as far as I know.

What mistake? After all, that's what we make money on. And doubly so, not only do they pay, but they will also be used to destroy the Russians. And we, in exchange for them, will get new pieces with a much better turret.Good to knew.Big mistake,that we sell them - our army need it more,and now when Ukraine is not falling,and continue to show us fuck with UPA monuments,we do not have reasons to help them anymore.
New version is nice,but we need replacment for BWP1 now.What mistake? After all, that's what we make money on. And doubly so, not only do they pay, but they will also be used to destroy the Russians. And we, in exchange for them, will get new pieces with a much better turret.
And Ukraine is not actually falling, just because we are helping them. If we stopped the aid, they would inevitably fall and we don't want Russia so close to us.
Oh what a surprise, Prigozhin's Wagner PMC won't abandon Bakhmut without orders and be replaced by Chechen TikTok Battalions.
Also the memes will remain regardless.
Even if the 'almost' actually proves to be true this time, Russia has wasted so much manpower and material on one town, they're still taking a strategic loss even if they manage to pull a tactical victory.Bakhmut is almost fallen, and now Wagner will be rotated out of the line.
Russia accomplished its goal as stated by surovikin back in the fall..use it to grind ukraines army down. Now Ukraine will likely not have the strength to launch its much vaunted counterattack.Even if the 'almost' actually proves to be true this time, Russia has wasted so much manpower and material on one town, they're still taking a strategic loss even if they manage to pull a tactical victory.
Which it is not at all clear they will.
Bakhmut is almost fallen, and now Wagner will be rotated out of the line.
Bakhmut will soon fall.
they'd push their 200,000+ reserves they have been building up into bakhmut and overrun the place in days.
Considering the purpose of Bakhmut is to draw the Ukrainians into a meat grinder, it seems to be going just fine.
First of all Bakhmut is the lynchpin of the entire donbass front. Its an important logistical node and the centerpoint of the third line of defense.
Truly a wealth of information.
This guys has correctly predicted the Fall of Bakhmut*... over a dozen times these past four months alone.
*If and When Bakhmut Falls
You have been wrong, time and time again.Russia accomplished its goal as stated by surovikin back in the fall..use it to grind ukraines army down. Now Ukraine will likely not have the strength to launch its much vaunted counterattack.
