Will have to wait until summer to see if this is true. The logic is sound but I kinda still envisage a few more Leroy Jenkins charges from the Russians.Anyhow, absolute numbers are somewhat irrelevant. Neither Russia, nor Ukraine will launch mass armored attacks anymore. Both failed badly doing this.
Hence it's unlikely Russia will run out of tanks any time soon.
I find it hard to believe, any EU government will essentially sign their death sentence once their soldiers are back in coffins.Some NATO members consider sending sending troops to Ukraine.

Russia-Ukraine war: several Nato and EU members considering sending soldiers to Ukraine, Slovak PM claims – as it happened
Robert Fico has long opposed military supplies to Ukraine and has taken a position seen by some critics as pro-Russianwww.theguardian.com

Unless of course there are still idiots believing Russia will attack Poland, Denmark etc when Russia can’t even take Donbass in 2 years.
Besides, without the U.S., none of the European militaries are ready for the realities of todays war, not only they don’t have enough Air Force nor the air defense systems to get air superiority, they can’t mass their troops without being discovered and they are absolutely not ready for the drone war.
Russian and Ukrainian militaries are by far the strongest and battle tested in Europe
Yes, I’d agree Poland is probably the closest to being able to actually perform on the battlefield, the rest of the EU simply has empty arsenals for a long warEh poland and fin could engage russia for a while
About battle tested yea since no one else in euro zone has been in shitshow like this

I don't understand Europe problem but recently a number of Countries including people like Estonia have commited to give 850,000 rounds of 155 ammo rounds and precision munition to Ukraine. Europe just pasted a 60 billion dollar aid package to Ukraine even with resistance from Hungary. US is just further damaging their relationships with Europe and Canada over the dysfunction in Washington.
Fico is trolling.Some NATO members consider sending sending troops to Ukraine.

We can't purchase in South Korea ammo and send this to Ukraine due to re export clauses.Europe promised to 1 million 155 shells by end of year. Problem is Europe's industrial capacity will not allow it and France insisted the agreement had to include s stipulation that it must be produced in Europe.
So instead of buying the ammo from allies like South Korea, Ukraine has to wait until like 2025.
We can't purchase in South Korea ammo and send this to Ukraine due to re export clauses.
We might purchase and keep in our countries etc.
Europe does have 15 factories for 155 mm ammo, there ofc some time is needed and political will to sign long term contracts.
It is possible to purchase from Turkey but France and Greece doesn't want this.
France once told that might supply 3000 shells per 1 month. LOL, really they does produce only 3000-6000 shells each month?
I think pre-war Russia had a chance to overrun Poland but nowadays there's no way. They would need to amass at least 100,000 soldiers, 1,000 tanks. They can't do it while fighting in Ukraine and with their tank force destroyed.Poland has war time experience and did better in Afghanistan then the US to some degree. They can also fight on a NATO standard, plus look at the size of they're tank force...
leo 2 of many variants inlucuding 2pl, Abrams m1a2, K2, and PT-91s?
yeah that's not gonna be fun to deal with.
during the soviet union, polish army was probably some of the more loyal fighters and some of the best of the satellite states
Well, I guess the warmongers idea is that Russia will attack Poland when Ukraine is done.a

With 1000 tanks in no case might be enough.a
