For the US, it is useful to have the US Army, which is designed to fight on terrain like Ukraine with tanks, mechanized infantry, and tracked howitzers, and to have the USMC which is designed to fight in more expeditionary environments. The equipment demands are different. — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
As an example, M777 and HIMARS make more sense for the USMC than heavier and more expensive alternatives. As is the case with most equipment, militaries need a mix because some systems will be more effective in certain environments than others. — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
@federicoborsar1 I agree. — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
Self-propelled artillery have been critical in this war, but the terrain in Ukraine suits them better. M777 are lighter, can be transported by helicopter, and can be deployed in mountainous, jungle, and other environments where self-propelled howitzers would be less useful. — PolitiTweet.org

There is little reason to believe there are prospects for negotiations as long as the Kremlin believes the military situation favors it, which it clearly does right now. Strengthening Ukrainian military capabilities (equipment and training) is the best option for ending this war. — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
Russia's leadership clearly believes it will win this war and has a greater ability to sustain it. Putin's rule doesn't appear to be particularly threatened, so this war will very likely be decided on the battlefield and Ukraine needs to have superior capabilities. — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
Tanks and APCs/IFVs will be critical for Kyiv to retake the rest of its territory, but they may not be enough. Kyiv needs to have superior combined arms capability to breakthrough prepared defensive positions. Hopefully, this change in thinking will extend to other capabilities. — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
Russia's strategy previously appeared to hope that Western aid would dissipate over time. It now seems that Russia is girding itself for a long war even with continued aid to Ukraine. Thus, Western aid shouldn't just be focused on helping Ukraine sustain the war, but to win it. — PolitiTweet.org

From a Ukrainian tank company commander, "He was particularly realistic when it came to the T-90... 'This is where the quality of what we have is important,' he said. 'If you come across a T-90, you need three of ours to deal with it — or very good luck.'” https://t.co/FxjGMY4LBM https://t.co/ZQr0WkqT2g — PolitiTweet.org

@IvvyNemo You said singled out for retaliation, they could work together with multiple NATO countries to send Leopards to Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

@IvvyNemo The UK led the way with sending tanks, and they don't necessarily have to send tanks, just not block their deliveries from other countries. — PolitiTweet.org

Ukraine would be better off receiving a single type of tank, which would make it much easier for training and logistics, and they are already set to receive Challenger 2 tanks. This is already a problem given the variety of NATO artillery and armored vehicles Ukraine is using. — PolitiTweet.org

The Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb has about twice the range of the HIMARS' GMLRS and is a heavier munition, which will complicate Russian C2 and logistics. Ukraine needs more armored vehicles and Strikers are a better option for transporting infantry in battle than MRAPs. — PolitiTweet.org
