Question to the moderators - can make a separate topic for confrontation in Ukraine (only in photo, without politics)?
We have a lot of military equipment and can be interesting to use it ...
Plus, today announced that the United States was transferred to Ukraine 4 Apache ...
I think in my country will be something similar to vietnam ...

You think your country is going to be the next Vietnam, north or south?

Hi guys. So ..
My town became the center of defense and resistance ... I hope we stand and win. God help us!

From our city museum tanks are taken to the front ...

Awesome video. Thanks USSR for posting. For those who don't understand Russian, I was pretty humored by the interview with the guy at the end of the video (presumably the museum director from whom the tank was taken). He said they were able to thwart past efforts to take the tank for war time use, but this time, his arguments were ineffective. "The other guys have machine guns and I don't, so it's hard to argue with them." Sounds like it wasn't exactly a cooperative effort. USSR, hopefully you and family are safe. I was born in Odessa and came to America as a child, it is incredible to me that Ukraine and Russia are now at war. It's just surreal, like having New Jersey and New York States bombing each other. Amazing what bad politics can accomplish.

Hopefully the conflict ends soon, and I presume there will be a lot of military gear "floating around". Maybe, just maybe, this will create an opportunity for armor collectors to pick up some pieces from enterprising capitalists selling stuff that never makes it back to the official army depot. I mean not stolen stuff or anything like that, but you know the old saying, "spoils of war..."

Russia is not at war with Ukraine.
If Russia was at war - the war would have ended ...

I disagree. If Russia was at war with Ukraine the war would involve most of Europe and the USA. The 'war' would have ended. In short WW3. It's dully noted Russia is pulling back from the border. I was a NATO officer for over 25 years and I can honestly say if an invasion by Russia happens help from NATO allies will arrive.
I would be interested to see the reaction from my SS brothers if this was same thing was to happen to Alaska. Ukraine is a NATO member country and we will stand by her!

You are right, I was speaking colloquially, didn't route my commentary by the legal department first, to approve nomenclature :) regardless, it's a shame that former "comrades" are killing one another and civilians are getting hurt.
