A Ukrainian tank officer comments on Leopard training:
Update from Defmon :
Informative as usual
An actual free post from the impressive experts at Rohan Consulting. I don’t pay the monthly fee, so I can only read them now and then but I have noticed that most experts I read subscribe and recommend it strongly.
Konrad is an impressive expert (They have far more expertise an in-depth knowledge than the otherwise good bloggers at ISW as an example, due to their superior sources)
Vuhledar (you can see where RU tries to attack along the river)
Good to see you back on the forum !! its been a while.
It will be such a shame for us all when Girken eventually stops blogging.
He is entertaining and you need smiles in dark times.

I noticed some statistics which I found confusing, possibly a typo regarding number of units lots… that tank number is awfully high

(Numbers in parentheses denote a weekly change).
that’s a large number of vehicles, much more than I expected.
It’s up to the Ukrainians what sort of support vehicles they wanted, said minister Gram. He mentioned engineering, bridge laying etc.
They are actually meticulously counting the losses mentioned in all statesments by According to the Russian Ministry of Defence and then adding them up. Of course it looks ridiculous ! It is and they know of course.
Be happy they don’t count the killed black US mercenaries and Poles and the canadian admiral
For reference, the Ukrainian army had 982 main battle tanks in January 2022.
The Prime Minister did step down on Friday.
