4? I take it that's an assumption Le Clercs will go?

It's a legit concern, though. Guessing private contractors waaaaay back from the front line with own logistics will do anything non battlefield. As for battlefield The Ukrainians are using 50 y/o tanks, I''m guessing they're pretty adaptable!

The right ammunition to the right tanks though, that's a problem, hope they wont rely on evri.

This is an interesting take on why Scholz and Biden finally relented and agreed to let Ukraine have modern tanks:

I imagine most of us on this thread will have watched 'Putin versus the West' on BBC last night? So depressing and I'm not convinced all Western leaders have learned the lessons :-(

I've not been able to catch it yet. Will watch it on the iPlayer. But from the trailer I've seen, I'm given the choice of believing either Johnson or Putin. Given that both are delusional pathological liars, that's a tough one.

Well, what do YOU make of all the threats that Putin has come out with so far? There's your answer I think.

Can't make my mind up. Will Putin drop a Nuke or send the latest most modern kit in, tanks and jets etc? or does he think he can and nobody dare tell him none of it actually works?

But yeah a year ago he promised us this would all be over in a month.
