Reply to comment by DarkWangster in Ukraine calls for faster weapons supplies as Russia presses eastern offensive by redcccp
Looking at the current territory map, I'm not seeing any significant gains by Russia currently that make up for the months of losses they've endured.
Also, lol, you're nuts if you think a few hundred modern tanks (combined with modern artillery and missiles) aren't just going to completely decimate any land-based offensive by the Russian army. Russia has a serious problem. Either they win it now or they'll never take any territory again once the modern tanks are in play. They know this too.
It's just all over once Ukraine gets F-16's too, because they'll have something Russia never had in enough numbers: Precision munitions.

Honestly, I'm surprised the EU isn't actively courting Armenia and trying to intervene. Zangezur is crucial for Europe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_sharing
> As of November 2009, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey are hosting U.S. nuclear weapons as part of NATO's nuclear sharing policy.
> There are 20 B61 bombs stored on the base for delivery by German PA-200 Tornado IDS bombers of the JaBoG 33 squadron. By 2024 Germany's Tornado IDS aircraft are due to be retired, and it is unclear what nuclear sharing role, if any, Germany will then retain.[3][17] In 2022, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Germany announced that it would buy 35 F-35 jets to replace the Tornado in its nuclear sharing role.
