Танки для чайников

Foremost, plenty of people seem to wonder ‘where are tanks’, and — even after seven months of this war — can’t wait for something like ‘big mechanised formations to run sweeping manoeuvres’, drive through enemy positions shooting broadsides like line-ships of the Napoleonic times (or, should I say: Nelson’s times?) as they go… And if tanks do not do that, or if a few of them get shot to pieces whenever they try, then the conclusions are getting rather hysteric. In style of: ‘tank is obsolete’…

Beg your pardon, everybody: this is simply not how the ‘war works’. It didn’t work that way even in France of mid-May 1940. No surprise it doesn’t now.

The battlefield in Ukraine is dominated by one thing. Two things, if you like.
