Americans faced "unexpected difficulties" when deploying a tank brigade in Europe

Part of American armored vehicles deployed in Europe arrived in Poland damaged, another 5 tanks and didn’t reach their destination at all, reports Look with reference to The Wall Street Journal.

“Unexpected difficulties arose when the US military tried to deliver military equipment from the North German port of Bremerhaven to Poland. Several armored cars were damaged after they crashed into bridges that were lower than the Americans had assumed, ”the publication says.

Another 5 tanks had to be left in Germany. As the commander of the US ground forces in Europe, Ben Hodges, admitted, the tanks “were mistakenly transported to Europe with batteries discharged or not fully loaded.”

According to him, the US military leadership "does not have complete information about the infrastructure in Europe." Hodges called on the United States to “better explore the region,” so that “in the event of a possible conflict with Russia,” it would be possible to quickly transfer equipment to Europe.

Recall that in early January in Poland arrived the first batch of armored vehicles and about a thousand US military.

it would be funny if they had come to war like that. and so they study logistics - and that’s bad
and the more jambs come out of them now, the worse for us
and you are all fuckers and fuckers.

Here we can only rely on the weather - if they work the logistics and deployment to the ideal.

So far, a couple of thousand people and several hundred tanks will work out when the logistics - deploying up to 10 infantry and up to 000 tanks will not be a problem. The foundation is already being prepared

I agree with you. Get ready, lousy. But:

tanks “were mistakenly transported to Europe with discharged batteries or not fully charged».

What is this to understand? In Europe, it is impossible to charge the battery and refuel? If IT stopped them, then I’m afraid to even imagine what they will do when the TPD fogs up.

[Sayutin Sergey]

I work at the facility to provide railway communication in case of war, natural disasters, etc. The equipment is all old Soviet, 60s. There are also batteries. We charge regularly. Everything is in working condition. Though tomorrow in battle. (The object is not military) And here - the very most army in the world and with discharged batteries. Maybe she’s not the most? And let everyone who scolds the USSR be shut up.

I’m even afraid to imagine what will happen when they go out onto our roads - which we ourselves are sometimes afraid of .....

Quote: s-t Petrov

if they work logistics and deployment to perfection.

- never work. They walked on Yandex maps, and on the usual topographic maps the characteristics of each bridge are available, but the dimensions of their equipment must be kept in mind. And if you missed something during the preparation of the march, a sign of a limit on height and carrying capacity hangs on bridges and overpasses. And so it turns out that they are not only stupid, but also blind in addition (since they don’t see the signs).

maybe the tanks turned out to be "slightly higher" than the bridge builders expected?
and how is NATO going to deploy its troops in the event of a “Russian invasion” of the geyropu, even if they cannot organize the transfer of equipment even in a calm environment?

[your1970]

and how is NATO going to deploy its troops in the event of a “Russian invasion” of the geyropu, even if they cannot organize the transfer of equipment even in a calm environment?-there is still a nuance: property (bridge) is private - we’re on the drum (we will carry it to the same mother in case of urgent need) - but now they may have to pay money for damage. There will certainly be a sickly suit - 5 armored cars hit him - they could not help but hurt ....

Gee, I’m laughing. It is necessary to redo the bridges urgently, but without increasing the NATO budget this will not work.

the Yankees are clearly disgraced. how to transfer equipment without first having learned the route. damn sure nuts.

[faridg7]

Part of the population in them simply cannot read, but here it is necessary to read maps when planning routes. And about the battery and generally a song. By the way, I remembered: there is a familiar Russian-American well, there he took root in sunny California and Zadornov apparently and he has in mind. So he decided to earn some extra money, bought a lot of batteries for trucks there in California and sent them here to Vladivostok with the aim of selling, but it was in the winter, and all the batteries simply froze and burst while the customs stood at the customs container. For a long time he could not understand how they could freeze.

[salad]

clear)) we are ready to fight, but we need to redo the bridges, refuel the equipment and give the battery Do not transport equipment due to the lack of a battery, it's just the finish))) Pshek like

Another 5 tanks had to be left in Germany. As Ben Hodges, commander of the US ground forces in Europe, admitted, the tanks "were mistakenly transported to Europe with discharged batteries or not completely filled up"

- some kind of crap, sorry
- In Germany there is no electricity? Or is the solarium over?
- it’s not about the batteries, and not about refueling ... don’t go to a fortuneteller

Quote: Cat Man Null

- In Germany there is no electricity? Or is the solarium over?

You see what’s the matter, it was just cloudy on the street. And since Germany is switching to alternative energy sources, in particular solar panels. There was no electricity in the network.
And the Poles got into the diesel fuel. In general, to pass through Poland you need to have at least two cars. Since one must be stolen. It’s also necessary to shield the tanks, whether all delivered to the place

[Banishing liberoids]

Now the Yankees will, as is their custom, sue the Poles, because the Polish infrastructure and the locality deliberately damaged the equipment of the "exceptional on the whole empty head"!

[your1970]

HER, everything is exactly the opposite - ALWAYS signs hang on the bridges with an envelope. So these are the Poles who will sue for damaging the bridges ....

[Alexander Abdrakhmanov]

The Americans stamped the tanks, they turned into scrap from the year. We need to store this metal somewhere, we found a landfill in Poland. If the war with Russia wakes up, while the Americans will throw this scrap metal, Poland no longer wakes up. There will be nothing to cling to the bridge, because it does not wake him either, everything will be at the bottom. We have not fought yet, but the technology of the kopeks has come. A good NATO structure, not yours not ours, They will not fight, and circles with keys will be cut around the tank. A heavy machine gun, as an amplifier for the key will be.

[1536]

And why don't the Americans buy military equipment from us, the same tanks? Everything is calculated for us, everything is adapted for a theater in Europe. They are buying from us Mi-8 helicopters for Afghanistan. Why is Europe better, that you need to drag expensive equipment across the ocean?

[Funnels]

Get fucked up, and the grievances of the sent ones will end, will they stand up? EURO 5,6 standards for Abrams are not quoted. And they were going to conquer Russia. They still did not refuel with our fuel, and about the battery, like our 8 warrant officers of the armored personnel carrier, they started up poorly! The warriors are bad.

The bridges were aligned with tanks, they found a shortage of fuel ... Or maybe they did not fight against the bridges, but simply and cynically - they drank the fuel, and spare parts from the tanks were sold to the hucksters as spare parts for "Ford \ Chryslers" ???
And honestly, we stand, smile and wave! We are waiting for the next steps of the Yankees and draw conclusions.

[Mountain shooter]

In the event of a conflict with Russia, there will be no need to move, and even more so relying on the "studied" infrastructure. Due to the inoperability of this very infrastructure

Most likely, the bridges in Poland were built based on the height of Soviet tanks, which would have rushed to Europe at the signal. And the Abrams were "slightly" higher.

It was necessary to lower the wheels on the cars so that the mod could pass through the bridge.

Oh my God! What a terrible malfunction - The battery is low and there is no fuel! In Russia, these malfunctions would be fixed in an instant. What prevented to fill the fuel and use the battery from another tank? Or have they never done this in the US Army? Nonsense.

Yes, and apparently there is no duplicate engine start system. The general is whistling like Trotsky. They just brought rubbish and they got it in the air like Pedro hammers in Ukraine.

It was the same half plane refueled mistaking pounds and kilograms by mistake. In general, everything is clear with them)

I wonder who the experiment is being conducted on - American soldiers, or residents of the countries where these troops are sent?
If preparations are underway for war, then fleeting movements with a lack of combat unification of units, especially multilingual ones, and having different combat regulations and instructions, will increase losses. A smart military leader would have handed over weapons, supplies, repair bases and taught her how to manage it. The Poles are also masters of exposing their ally to slaps in the face. The Americans there will have to wait for an ax not only from an obvious enemy, but also from a hidden friend. Both in obvious and disguised form.

And those who have gained experience in logistics will be swept away in the first clash.

The option that these tanks are also being discussed is that these tanks are used in case of a conflict between the Pshek and the Ukropithecus. After all, this option is also possible...
