Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted December 1, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2022 Been reading a lot about new advances in battery technology. It's being driven by the markets in response to countries and companies moving away from ice vehicles. I've always been surprised that batteries weren't situated in such a way as they could be taken out at a station and replaced with a charged one, but I suppose that would have added costs to the design. There are nevertheless many promising ideas potentially offering greater charge density and much greater cycle numbers, so batteries will last much longer, carry more energy, and become lighter.

Marc505 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Pretty significant that, probably not in terms of damage caused but that they reached so far out. 600km from Ukrainian front, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird one Ukraine reckon the German tanks could make a real difference, and they have 2,000 sat doing nothing across Europe. But seem reluctant to send them. very Strange.

Marc505 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 This is the risk when countries get into fighting a proxy war, how far do you go before you're basically fighting directly. Just a game all this now. About 10 months ago Ukraine was begging for 4th generation fighter jets (basically UEFA cup level jets not champions league) and nobody wanted to do it as it would be too "direct". It would have taken about 10-12 months from that point to thrash out any kind of export deal and stand up the training required to make it happen. And now here we are with the Netherlands pondering over maybe we should give them some F-16s after all. It would be another year from this point for them to be worthwhile if that was initiated this week. I kind of think the West expected Ukraine to have been defeated by now, valiant but beaten, and back to containing Russia we go. Instead they've fought like lions, got it down to a winter stalemate and are now looking around at the rest of Europe saying hey, we stemmed the tide now what are you going to do to help? And that's left a few countries who were just playing at supporting Ukraine in a difficult position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 21, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2023 In short, just ignore Germany. Poland, as confirmed in the article, are thinking of sending some tanks without permission. If they do, it's quite likely everyone else with leopards will send some too.

Mounts Kipper Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) Germany playing by their own rules, no shock there, been doing it in the EU for decades.

tomski Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 The German/Russian relationship is a weird one for many reasons stemming from ww2. A big Russian population and their reliance on Russian gas. That said they’ve let the Ukraine and the west down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
