Vladimir Putin has sent a provocative message to the West, just days after the US and UK agreed to send billions more in military aid to Ukraine.

    “Welcome to the captured American military equipment museum. To your left is the Coffin on Wheels, and behind it is the Bloated Budget APC That Only Carries Four Six Soldiers. If you continue into the next room, we have the Plane That Doesn’t Fly in the Rain…”

      I was at the Military Museum of the Chinese People’s Revolution in Beijing recently and they had a Taiwanese U2 that the PLA shot down as the centerpiece exhibit of one of the floors.

      Say what you will about American gear, but it makes great war trophies.

          Ah, thanks! The apc bit is what got me confused.

          Edit: clicked the link, and lo - the very first comment is coping about bradleys “defeating a T-90 with just 25 mm guns”. This is why we can’t have nice things

            There’s a whole lot of cope in the top comments, but when you get below those there’s some actually good opinions

            Can’t wait for the sequel featuring the F35 Lightning.

    Meanwhile, US military officials revealed that Ukraine had sidelined US Abrams M1A1 tanks because Russian drones could detect them and launch attacks.

    Five of the 31 Abrams that the US sent in January 2023 have already been lost to Russian attacks.

        Or maybe they have, and that is why they’re getting rotated to the rear - the drones are just an excuse. Getting rotated because of a verified and proven (with video proof) threat of a new(ish) weapon system is still not as embarrassing as getting rotated out because the tank is just shit and broke down. At least in my mind, seeing the wank around nazi tanks may prove me wrong

    Sadly, there isn’t an arena in the whole World, that is big enough to show off all the captured and destroyed Russian equipment.

    wojak-nooo

    If we want to show off captured Russian equipment, we have to ask Ukrainian farmers for it.

    How many thousands of tanks has Russia lost?

      If we wanted to humiliate Russia, all we have to do is hit up the Ghost of Kyiv. But we have more important things to worry about.

    They had open air museums of captured equipment with little stands with descriptions in Donbas mere days after taking a town back like a month into the war. I remember there was a video showing it off and everything. This is not shocking
