Russia Invades Ukraine pt XII

[TIDE-HSV]

A company has 14 tanks (3 platoons of four tanks each, plus CO and XO). Four companies equals a battalion or 56 tanks, plus CO and XO total 58.
The US now mixes mech infantry and tank companies in a Combined Arms Battalion, so you have 28 Bradleys and 28 Abrams tanks in a battalion. 9-10 battalions in a division.
Compare that to the numbers of modern tanks given to Ukraine and you see the West has not given that much.
During World War II, we gave the Soviets 18,200 aircraft and 7,000 tanks. By 1945, 1/3 of the cargo trucks in the Red Army were American-made.

And they went to great lengths to paint over or remove anything revealing a US origin...

The parade in Moscow didn't have any modern tanks, infantry fighting vehicles or aviation. It was one of the smallest in Russian history, taking less than 10 minutes. There was one T-34 tank that took part in WWII. No Iskanders, Armata tanks, aviation. The walking part of the parade mainly consisted of cadets and students of military universities, not military staff. Russian MoD hasn't published any information about the parade's participants, unlike in previous years.
