Womp womp.
Turns out NATO/The West doesn’t have an unlimited supply of armoured vehicles, and the NAFO-donated Nissans all got destroyed. Maybe Denmark and Netherlands can send over bicycles and Ukraine can build itself a WWI-style cycle brigade.
This would be funny if it were a movie, but since it’s real life it’s tragic and it makes me sad+mad that Zelenskyy and his NATO handlers won’t just surrender.

Apologies for the source (I know some dislike MoA), if there was similar analysis from another source I’d post that.
OP you don’t need to apologize for the source, there is nothing wrong with drawing from a variety of sources even when we don’t agree with all of what they say. What matters most is the quality of the analysis and the factual reliability of the information.
To the downvoters: chill. Yes the title is hyperbolic, we know, but the article itself is well sourced and factual. This story may only be about one particular brigade for now but it’s reflective of a broader dynamic and indicative of where this conflict is heading.

In addition to the 153rd becoming an infantry brigade, the article claims, it seems the 152nd is also slated to become an infantry brigade.
It’s been a while since Western countries have bragged about a large shipment of tanks and IFVs/APCs to Ukraine, and they’ve been focusing on missiles, F-16s and artillery shells. The West is simply out of armoured vehicles to send, and since Ukraine can’t make their own, it makes sense that brigades will be de-mechanised as Russia keeps destroying Ukrainian vehicles.
And the 32nd rocket artillery became regular artillery.
I love good news
the NAFO-donated Nissans all got destroyed
everyone knows Toyotas are better
This would be funny if it were a movie
this feels like a movie
