British edition: By the April offensive, Kyiv will receive only 50 tanks out of 320 promised by the West

The recently announced plans of the West to prepare Ukraine for the spring counter-offensive have already cracked, Kyiv will not receive the promised number tanks. According to The Times, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will receive no more than fifty tanks.

According to a British publication citing its own sources, Ukraine will receive only about 50 Western-made tanks out of the promised 320 by April. The countries that had committed themselves and promised Zelensky the supply of tanks suddenly began to refuse them. Even Great Britain, one of the most active sponsors of the Kiev regime, which swore to deliver 14 Challenger 2 tanks "in the near future", suddenly announced that it would transfer only four tanks by April, and even then, if it had time.



And so almost all countries suddenly announced either a complete refusal to supply, or sending a small amount of armored vehicles. An example is Canada, which promised to transfer as many as four Leopard 2 MBTs to Zelensky and even sent one tank, not sparing a military transport aircraft for this.

To date, the so-called "tank coalition" created in Europe has not been able to form even two tank battalions, barely managing to scrape together one and a half vehicles. Yes, even that is doubtful. In Berlin, they are trying to put pressure on NATO allies to quickly transfer tanks, but it's all to no avail. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who allowed the re-export of German tanks after much persuasion, is now demanding the fulfillment of his obligations at all international venues, but all in vain.

As it turned out, in Europe they first promise and only then they start thinking. According to British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, it turned out that almost all countries of the "tank coalition" did not have serviceable tanks for transfer to Ukraine. And no one wants to transfer those in service. Suddenly there is a war, but there are no tanks. So it will not be long before Zelensky will wait for the promised armored vehicles.

        Scholz distinguished himself this time, he will give the most tanks and allowed re-export.

        It will never come to getting on a war footing, this is completely superfluous, unless China suddenly declares war on the West. But the production of BC, MBT, etc., of course, will increase significantly, which is what they are doing now.

        In order to get on a military footing, the contractor must understand how long the contract will be and what profit he can count on by investing money in expanding production. However, no one in Europe can say how long Ukraine will hold out and how many of these tanks it needs. Yes, in fact, Russia will not indifferently watch how they get on the rails and will certainly increase their production, so time here works quite balanced on all sides, except for Ukraine, of course.

          Ukraine will last as long as the West provides it with weapons. The authors of this conflict have a full understanding of how long and how it will continue. The United States launched a large-scale program to increase the production of ammunition (by 6 times) for 2 years. And the next year's budget includes funds to ensure the war - they are sure of everything.

            The authors of the conflict, and you too, do not take into account one "insignificant", but awesomely important detail, namely, that Russia has its own idea of ​​​​the conflict and its own plans for resolving it, which clearly do not coincide with the "authors" idea either in time , nor in terms of solutions, and therefore it is far from a fact that Ukraine will exist for the time they are counting on.
            As for the increase in the production of b / n, they need it anyway, even on the basis of the fact that they need to replenish their fairly empty arsenals, and therefore their program will work, if not for the current conflict, then for the warehouse.

        The production capacity of Abrams tanks is 12 units per month. Only one plant is working, three are idle - there are not enough qualified workers, competencies have been lost.

        Germany is resuming the production of tanks and could theoretically increase the production of the latest modification of the Leopard-2 to 140 by 2027. No one knows how to do this in practice - there are not enough specialists, such as welders of armored steel, there are not enough engineers. The deficiency must be restored, and this takes time.

        At the same time, in the USSR, only one Nizhny Tagil "Uralvagonzavod" assembled 40-50 cars per month ...

        Oddly enough, among Western countries, the United States is not in the first place in terms of production. And not even Germany. The Slovak holding ZVS is now producing about 20 thousand shells per month, by the end of this year they will try to reach the level of 100 thousand shells.

        Great America, Leader, hegemon and dominant all rolled into one today produces 14 shells per month. The Pentagon has invested (as it is now called) $2 billion in order to bring production up to 20 shells per month by the end of this year, and plans already in 2024 can hope for a level of 90 shells per month.

        According to Western intelligence estimates, until the beginning of 2022, the production of 152-caliber shells in Russia was 1,7 million pieces per year (slightly more than 141 thousand pieces per month). In 2022, Russia almost doubled the output, to 3,3 million units per year (275 thousand per month), and already in January, Sergei Shoigu announced that by the end of 2023, the output would rise by another 5 times, to 416 million units per year. (417-XNUMX thousand per month).

And tells the tales of the Vienna Woods. So the number of our mobilized people is known by a few. There is a war going on, no one has canceled the secrets. War is not only missile strikes.

      For general development. In Russia, no one calls Ukrainians orcs. It's purely local stuff. No need to drag them to the site, please. This is a dehumanization technique invented by Western PR technologists for Western laymen. They play on simple and accessible images. No Ukrainians are people. People who betrayed the common Soviet history, abandoned their ancestors who fought for the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War. People glorifying collaborators and policemen from the fascist division "Galicia", who betrayed their brothers in faith and language, who betrayed the language and faith itself. So let it stay that way. And we are the orcs. And Mordor is what they call us. And we don’t even mind, we are proud of something. Because the light-faced western elves are those Nazi arrogant bastards.

    A very interesting alignment is obtained, very. This is either an "information cover operation", or the target was not Russia ... It seems that some kind of "tectonic shifts" are taking place in the West. They could keep up the pace and go "step by step", prepare for transfer and start transferring tanks with 105-mm guns, the same Leo-1, M-60, AMX-30, these could still be recruited ...

    320 czołgów a być dostarczonych w ciągu 1,5 roku, a nie teraz nagle.

    Ale faktem jest, że czołgów Ukraina dostanie na wiosnę mniej, niż obiecywano.

    Przyczyna jest ciekawa:
    Niemcy, którzy do listopada 2022 roku nie chcieli angażować się w wojnę na Ukraine...
    ...teraz chcą być postrzegani jako najwięksi dobroczyńcy Ukraine.

    "January 24.01–October 3.10.2022, 1,88 polska pomoc wojskowa wynosiła 0,78 mld euro, a niemiecka zaledwie XNUMX mld euro."

    ale obecnie niemiecka pomoc wojskowa dla Ukraine to 2,34 mld euro - Poland 1,82 mld euro.

    ================
    Niemcy chcą pokazać światu, że bardzo pomagają Ukraine.
    No i teraz:
    Hollandia np. chciała przekazać Ukrainie kilkanaście czołgów, ale Niemcy nie wydali zgody,
    Hiszpania aby przekazać czołgi Ukrainie, musiała je najpierw serwisować w Niemczech, ale Niemcy odmówili.

    Tak więc, Leopardy w dużych ilościach przekaże tylko Polska i Niemcy.

    Once again, Germany was just not forced to agree to send tanks to Ukraine through indirect threats.
    And Germany agreed to send tanks. As well as other countries.
    And now, from our, Russian, side, it turns out that the Germans are the most militarists.
    Yes, Germany is the enemy.
    Yes, Germany supports sanctions against Russia.
    Yes, Germany will send tanks to Ukraine.
    And they are trying to pit Germany and Russia against cries of immediate military support from Kyiv.
    And the USA, Canada (in which the main spoken languages ​​are French, Ukrainian, English), Great Britain, France will continue to watch what will come of the radically changed plan to destroy the economies of Russia and Germany.

    Even 50 is a big question, since Portugal and Spain have turned on the back. So, at the moment, only a company of fascist A6s and four Challengers and one Canadian A4 are real. Perhaps 30 - 40 Pshekovsky A4, but this is also in question.

    It's a pity, only 50 tanks will burn down... Do they really think in the West that Russia has no means against their tank equipment, but only Nudol, Sarmat, Avangard and others??? Russia is ready for all cases of fighting and can wage war on three fronts. After all, there are super torpedoes "Poseidon", which will be engaged in the 5th and 6th fleets of the United States and not only the United States, but also the rest.

    If the West is openly talking about 50, then 50 has already been guaranteed to be delivered ... and the rest are in the process and they still cannot say how many whole ones will crawl to LBS

    Unlike Russia, their industry has not been cut, so they can increase the production of military equipment and equipment.


    They just cut them up, and what they didn’t cut up was taken out to where the labor force is cheaper. Plus with raw materials and energy strained. And about "cutting industry in Russia" tell tales to grandmothers.

    Absolutely, given the orders of magnitude multiple potential of the economies of the West and the Russian Federation.


    Not correct. Only the industrial potential should be taken into account, or rather, that part of it that works or is in any way connected with the production of weapons. Western economies are dominated by the financial sector and the service sector, but derivatives or hamburgers cannot fight off the adversary. And in terms of cast iron and steel - we are still quite hoo. So we produce more tanks and artillery systems and shells for them. So "the Common Market will choke in the hole of our zero". laughing
