TLDR: The weak spot is the entire top of the tank, and it's weak to drones, explosives, or anything bigger than an automatic rifle. Also the donors took much of the advanced armor off because they were afraid about those secrets falling into Russian hands.
"We have a supreme weapon, but we don't want to bring it out and use it, because our rivals might copy it."
Author recommends that Ukrainians stop camping behind the minefields and no-man's-land, and charge forward with their 50 MPH M1A1s that Churchill himself inspired, using "manaeiouvrability" to "run riot" behind enemy lines, a completely foreign concept to inferior Slavic strategy patterns.
I love how they have this obsession with manoeuvre warfare. Like sure Ukraine doesn't have the troops or the weapons needed to fight this sort of a war, but maybe they can just outmanoeuvre the Russian orcs by using clever NATO tactics. π
This is super easy to understand though in this guys' case, I remember that name back when he wrote about how the Challenger 2 is a game changer because he was a tank commander, guy has been writing about how all the tank wunderwaffens are going to send the russians to flee in terror several times and now he has to make up new copium why even though all those superior tanks are on Ukraines side they still can't win.
Like this minor british noble is quite literally just a tankie who thinks that tanks are the ultimate weapon and solution to everything.
lol yeah
It can't be helped after all. The officers were taught that maneuver warfare is the ultimate form of warfare and the apparent success against Iraq validated this.
And since Marx has been expunged from the academy there is no possibility of reorganizing theory such that positional warfare can stand on an equal or relational (or dare we say it dialectical) footing with maneuver warfare.
I can recall a Churchill inspired tank, it was slow fat beast with small gun, thin skin, and it was breaking all the time, so... i can see how that name came to be.
"Churchill inspired" my ass... They're recommending a blitzkrieg. I bet they're even aware of how bad that specific wording would sound, which is why they misattributed it to Churchill instead..
I didn't understand the Churchill part. What does he mean by manoeuvre here? Like is he saying that they should drive the tank really fast so that drones cannot hit them? Because if so that is extremely stupid.
What they're trying to say is to do a blitzkrieg, the famous nazi germany vehicle rushing fueled by meth, but they are actively avoiding saying the german word so they missttribute it to Churchill π
He's saying they should do NATO combined-arms showcase tactics, instead of Soviet probe-and-funnel tactics, to make the Russians less capable of predicting where and how they have to defend.
Also, my god you guys are tireless posting defenders. Da zdravsvuyet lemigrad.
