Western Escalation in Ukraine: Sending in Armor - But is it Too Little Too Late?
Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for January 6, 2023:
- After over a week, the Western media continues talking about Ukraine’s HIMARS strike on assembled Russian troops;
- The focus on political optics inadvertently reveals the lack of strategic and tactical importance of this strike and highlights the lopsided nature of fighting against Ukraine;
- Russia possesses many times more means and opportunities to carry out such strikes and does so nearly daily;
- Western pundits are resorting to increasingly fantastical thinking to solve what they admit is Ukraine’s inability to defeat Russia;
- France has agreed to send an unspecified number of its aging AMX-10 RC light tanks;
- The light tanks are wheeled, have light armor, and will not be able to replace the main battle tanks Ukraine has lost over the last year of fighting;
- The US is contemplating sending Bradley infantry fighting vehicles - even less capable than France’s AMX-10 RC;
- Both Western systems will require special ammunition and maintenance provisions including shipping them to the Polish border each time they break down;
- The Western systems including future transfers of even main battle tanks do not address the real deficiency Ukraine suffers from - lack of artillery and long-range weapons that Russia has in abundance;
