Frankly no. Most of the Ukrainian use of tanks has been from static fire positions that roll into, engage from, and roll out of. With limited pushing of single vehicles at a time. I don’t think it has anything to do with an increased willingness to take risks. It’s been discussed at length...

Respectfully it isn’t. They aren’t conducting maneuver, rather they are moving from a hide to a fire position. It’s no more hit and run than moving from the admin area to a trench It’s not amazing, it’s a fact of inability to coordinate coupled with difficulty in massing. They’re pushing out...

Most of my guys will trust Reddit before the news. So close but not quite

Dutch didn’t deploy tanks, or operate in Helmand. They were up in Urzugan. You’re thinking Danes.

Ukraines essentially used tanks to roll into fire positions and engage then pull back. I would t really call it hit and run, they’re just rolling to run ups and backing off. A huge part of that is of course their general inability to employ combined arms tactics and need to Shepard resources...

I’d argue the modern tank destroyer is a Stryker TOW variant but potato potato. The M-10 is going to be used like a tank, probably at great cost.

Not it wasn’t. It won’t be in Stryker Bde’s who were the only used of the MGS.

No because as has been said above much better than I could phrase it, the key to content is perception of authenticity. Being employed as a PAFO immediately erodes that. Gen Z or what ever we call them now doesn’t want to listen to the suit being a desk tell them how the world is.

The problem being exactly this - younger generations are less likely to trust the source if they are obviously the PAFO. The best CAF content creators are not, and frankly cannot be, PAFOs. The Pilot project and Canadian Army pod casts are pretty good while the worst instagram account going is...

100 percent. The pod cast is literally the only accessible information for guys in the ground as to what’s happening with Latvia.

I’m pretty sure the host is a class B infantry reserve officer
