Gen. McCaffrey: Russia Has 'Lost Command And Control' (Original Post)

(20,993 posts)1. I do like the thought of providing a few better weapons.
Russia announced it is done with it's first phase and just focusing on Donestsk. Giving them the Polish aircraft, a few harpoons, a dozen or so M-1 tanks, some S-300s in western Ukraine shouldn't be an issue.

Just as the general was going to talk about the M-1 and I suppose assess its capabilities against the T-80s etc., she cut him off.

(20,993 posts)3. The two aren't in the same league
U.S. tanks are overbuilt. The Russian ones are necessarily cheap. I doubt Russia's newer T-14 could hold a candle to the M-1.
The Unmitigated Gall
(3,697 posts)4. That's my guess too. I just wanted to hear him say it.
I just worship the M-1 will have to do.
