NATO countries will ONLY protect other NATO countries!

Ukraine is NOT a member of NATO.

Neither are Sweden or Finland but agreements get made, and lots of NATO countries are supplying the Ukraine.

But yes I know that they aren't a member.

We need to hope he is removed ASAP, I can't believe anyone other than him wants this absolutely pointless insanity.

The problem is he's done it twice already with no consequences.

Hello, 40 miles of tanks , artillery , trucks and solders sounds a frightening prospect for Ukraine ??

Need to find a way of slowing that down somehow or blocking the route in.. a 40mile long convoy is insane and is pretty much a death squad intent on eradicating Kyiv of everything and everyone.

Dosent look good 

any idea what range a tank has when fully fueled up ? 
they could be on a one way trip 

200 miles on road 250 with external tanks fitted, but it uses 240 gallons internal 160 gallons with external tanks, so you need a lot of fuel to replen.That's for a T80

BBC news coverage, pathetic, there was a special news feature yesterday about the war. It was 52 minutes into the program before they even touched on the current military situation! Before that it was all ‘human interest’, refugees at border crossings, footage of man carrying a dog onto a train, some politics. There used to be a time when a reporter would get to the front line, now they swan about railway stations in a flak jacket.

Last I saw they were in Kiev. Clive Myrie is a hero.

What we need now is a few polish planes given to Ukraine to take out that convoy.

All Oligarchs property should be seized,  all the cash too,@ 750 billion in European banks from what I've heard and use it all to re home and feed Ukrainian refugees. 

 

That’s a good point but a lot of Europe’s countries need the Oligarchs billions in There economy’s

That’s a lot of fuel tankers to service a 40 mile convoy 

im thinking that they should target the tankers not the tanks

One thing I noticed about this war is its seems that the Russian troops are scared to kill. I have seen hundreds of videos of armor getting fire bombed and not firing back,  videos of of chordal talking back and forth,  people standing in front of armor and the armor going out of their way to miss them, I even saw a video of Russians firing up in the air as a group was throwing bricks at them.  With the Ukrainian civilians walking up and interacting with the Russains I feel like Russians are not talking it seriously. 

I’ve seen some of that footage myself but putin is not stupid all the front troops attacking Ukraine are 80% conscripts according to a military specialist on CNN he’s holding back special forces and paratroopers As well as a lot of he’s airforce

The furthur Russia advances the longer the supply line, and that is where he could come unstuck, does he have enough logistics to support his front line? a tank is just a very large paperweight without fuel.

Can they not still fire there main gun though? That's still a lot of fire power even if they run out of fuel.

Surely the road is mined heavily?

Doubt they had time?

Probably infantry to support the tanks.

They only have so many rounds and ammunition, sitting still they are lame ducks unless dug in.

Yes I realise that they wouldn't want to be sat still, but it's not like the Gulf where we had footage of constant air strikes on tanks.

I've seen a few drone strikes on the armour,  but they'll need a lot more to stop everything.
