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. 😂

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.
