This statistic alone doesn’t tell you anything because according to a Land forces production overview table here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_production_during_World_War_II

USSR had Germany beaten in artillery pieces production 5:1.

I think the unwillingness to switch Ukraine to 155mm caliber prior to 2022 has less to do with the west trying to not provoke russia and more with Ukraine’s desire to use existing stocks and tooling in domestic ammo factories. They themselves ordered DANA M2 in 152mm caliber in 2020. Only after the invasion they realized they will need much more ammo then they can produce domestically and west started providing 155mm systems. Already in 2022 Ukraine has been given German PzH 2000, Slovak Zuzana 2, French Caesar and eventually Swedish Archer. The ammo problem simply took time to solve, but it seems European productions is ramping up and the Czech initiative is still ongoing.

The need for armoured cabin is now well understood and I would say that Swedish and Czech solutions go even further with autoloaders and targeting computers reducing the crew needed to as little as 2 and removing the need for the crew to leave the cabin during a fire mission.

Germans called infantry the queen of all arms, soviets called artillery the god of war. We know who won.

Interesting, the article somehow presents this as something new and groundbreaking, but wheeled self-propelled howitzer was introduced by Czechoslovakia and South Africa already in the 80’s. And indeed Czech and Slovak howitzers derived from the original DANA are used by AFU since at least 2022.

Does he even hasve a say? Doesn’t Polish stance on Ukraine’s entry depend on the government & parliament rather than the president?

You may know IPv6 is ridiculously bigger, but you don’t know it.

“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.”

No matter whether we are talking about real space or IPv6 address space, Douglas Adams’ quotes always come handy.

And how long are you going to survive in the no man’s land, operating your scissors?

…and stay there.

No he wasn’t. It’s just because of his pride and idiocy that he thinks he was.

Fuck that, I will gladly use Lemmy to tell tankies to fuck off. And if I get banned on some instances then so be it.

I was obviously referring to the second part of your post, are you dense?

Boycott is a perfectly fine, non-violent form of protest, what’s your problem?

Whether he is a legitimate military target is disputable, because the whole war russia started is illegitimate. Although granted, at least he isn’t a medic or a child.

In a day, the idiot said day.

All he had to do was to not force Czechoslovakia to surrender and he didn’t need military presence in Czechoslovakia, deploying troops to France might have been enough. Czechoslovakia had mobilized 1 million man strong army, which would have been able to hold Germans for a considerable time. Not to mention he might have been able to get Poland to join.

Also I am not sure about which Churchill’s plan to protect Poland you are talking as by the time Churchill became a PM, Poland was conquered and Germany was just starting attack on France.

On the other hand Trump haven’t forbidden Ukraine to fight back on their own(yet). Which is what west did to Czechoslovakia.

Fuck also everybody who could, but didn’t vote against him.

Now that is a lie. He only likes himself and Ivanka.

A woman? That sounds like DEI, that’s not allowed in the US of Trump.

it will inevitably cause the US to be isolated in trade

That’s the goal. He isn’t a Kremlin asset, he is a Pyongyang asset, implementing Juche in the US ;)
