This talk about timing is really strange. There is always a back and forth in wars. That doesn’tchange anything about the trends and fundamentals. What does it matter that the letter came out at a time when Ukraine had a push? Even one of my lib friends who loves Ukraine understood that Ukraine had a tough path ahead.
Well, that is also true, but Ukraine has clearly suffered in its use of tanks if they are just being blown up when being taken out on the road. Both the tank species mentioned in the article (abrams and leopards) have been taken out of the picture mostly, either through underutilisation, or destruction.
