But won't it be a bit of a challenge to bring in Leopard/Abram/Challenger tanks when you need to train the soldiers to use them effectively, which could take a while, and establish a new logistics chain because of it.

[@bandenere7774]

They have been training Ukrainians on these vehicles for at least a month already. The idea is to train them abroad and only send the tanks inside Ukr once the personnel training is over.

[@robertwisniewski2029]

I think this will be partly solved by placing separate types of tanks in separate brigades - a tank brigade is 90 machines, a mechanized brigade is 30. This is realistic. interesting fact - the battalion training on leo in Poland belongs to the 4th tank brigade

[@thesaltyengineer6086]

Ukr soldiers have already been training on American equipment in the states for a few months now. As much as the politicians would like for you to think this is a recent decision they discussed in reality military leaders already made that call a long time ago and started working on it in the background so yes challenge acknowledged and already completed

[@peterflohr7827]

Of course it's a challenge. It's a war not a picknick.

[@gunterthekaiser6190]

One idea the allies have is to create garages and supply hubs in neighboring countries like Poland. From there, you send them the tanks and repair those who need it. Russia can't do shit about it without striking at a NATO nation.

The UK led the way on tank delivery to Ukraine with 14 Challenger 2 tanks, which then prompted both America and Germany to send tanks - in the context of tank procurement this should have been mentioned even if the date was prior to the 15th and forementioned in a previous video.

[@subutai999]

The UK does not supply as much of anything as they could but they always break the ice first, the same with long-range missiles with the recent visit of Zelensky to the UK. It was the first time 150km+ missiles were confirmed for Ukraine.

Hmmm I hope we can train some Ukrainians for the use of IRBs (Improved Ribbon Bridge) the Army company local to my area specializes in rapid deployment of this platform.

Without a doubt people are taking notes about this war, for example this war has caused me to completely redress my opinion concerning the American draft, cause with the losses both sides have suffered so far i don't buy for a second that if we were to get into a conventional war with say, China, that we'd be able to support it with the current rate of volunteers, and so we'd probably have to reinstate the draft within the first year of active warfare.

19 You should mention, that those Ceasers Denmark has donated is the 8-wheeled version, while those from France is the 6 original wheeled version. While the change might be to little to call it a newer model, some still call the 8-wheeled version Ceasar 2. The 8 wheels should make it more usable offroad in bac conditions, while it also should be able to shoot a bit faster and a bit more precise.

Disclaimer first: No, i'm not German. That out of the way, i do believe that the narrative on German reluctance re: tanks is well out of order. Had it been only German tanks that were sent, well that would have been seen as rather provocative by RU, no? Even if they came from Poland and Spain, they'd still be German tanks. It was smart of Germany to demand that other manufacturers also send their tanks. British and American and French tanks had to be sent, even in small numbers so that it didn't look as if there were only German tanks rolling into Donbas (which is apparently RU now). Germany is a little sensitive about their past and Russia is a little sensitive about German tanks. We should perhaps keep in mind the historical perspective.

Although not as relevant in terms of the direct military war and the gear involved, I can confirm that a lot of Civilian aid has been given by European countries as well. I live in Norway, a week or two ago, my mother was going to buy a new winter coat in a local store because of an announced sale. But when she arrived, she was told that the sale had been cancelled and that all the winter coats had been sent to Ukraine. Thats just a small example. I also know that Norway have sent at least a dousin Fire trucks(I read that months ago, its probably a lot higher now) and its the same with a lot of other European countries (who due to their size have probably sent more than us). The list goes on and on. Whilst its not military aid, its certainly needed down there. Anyway great video series :D Slava Ukraini!

[@mattslatts806]

Not as important? Because it's civilian 💯 percent equally important if everyone's dead and gone the reasons for fighting become egotistical like there's nothing left but when I go I'm getting even or I'm taking 20 of them with me.

@@mattslatts806 Ofc its just as important. I said its not as relevant, but that was in relation to this kings and generals video series. Kings and generals focus more on the military side of things (naturally), i.e, its not as relevant. I meant in relation to the video series, nothing more :).

[@alfredmaier7880]

Well... It's not accurate that Germany didn't allowed other EU countries to deliver Leopards to Ukraine. There wasn't any official request from any nation until Poland ask for permission on the 24.01. Only one day later Germany granted permission and also pledged tanks. So you really can't blame Germany for acting to slow. The "United front" on the panzer question isn't as united as it seams for Germany is now (together with Poland) isolated.
