    Ukraine is game to you? Part deux.

    Oddly I just stumbled on this article that has a twitter interview with a Ukraine tanker who had previously operated several Russian T series tanks, including T-80 in battle.

    Ukraine is game to you? Part deux.

    Exactly, this all goes back to Russias downfall, Logistics. Piss on the US military all you want but the fact that it supported 2 invasions in seperate countries on the other side of planet (for 10-20 years) is nothing short of astounding.
