🤨?
…wouldjya lookit dat there…?
We saw this in WW2. The Germans punched out ever more advanced versions of the armoured tank. They bragged about survivability: “For every tank we lose - the Americans will lose six!” Maybe it was more, maybe it was less… but regardless, when German Panzers met the Yanks with the tanks on the battlefield - the Yanks had 11 or 12 tanks and they mauled the Krauts with numbers.
We saw this again in the ‘Kraine: when the Ukes hit the battlefield with American Bradley’s and even M1 Abrams tanks - the fuggin Russians opened them up like tin cans! They swarmed them with those old Soviet BMP beaters, rockets, and old school anti-tank weapons. I don’t care how good your armour is - once you open up with weapons like the 30mm canon… they are going to make whatever you have look like Swiss cheese unless you can kill them first. And the hell of that is…there’s going to be a LOT of those stone aged battle wagons to kill. They’re cheap, easily manufactured, and there’s tens of thousands of them kicking around already. History has taught that the Germans had any number of advanced (for their time) wonder weapons. The Messerschmitt 262 jet, the V1 and V2 missiles, the Panzer IV’s… and they got their asses handed to them right on their own home turf by enemies with inferior weapons.
I’m beginning to think a certain tribe of people with big noses and funny hats are involved in the procurement process… because none of this is making sense to me…
But whadda I know?
