❗️Australia's Defence minister coy on why Ukraine-bound tanks took so long

Australia's Defence Minister Richard Marles would refused to answer why it took so long for Australia to start shipping tanks to Ukraine, insisting the first had left the country β€œsome time ago”.

Overnight, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told Zelensky that the first of the 49 donated Australian Abrams tanks, had left Australia bound for Europe.

β€œAs I say, the first tranche has been on their way for some time but I’m not going to go into specific details of that,” he said.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊRostec Experts Identify Vulnerabilities in Leopard 2 Tanks

Earlier, Rostec experts received a captured Leopard 2A6 to analyze its actual combat and technical characteristics.

β€œOur specialists identified weaknesses in the Leopard 2’s protection, related to both the armor’s thickness/composition and the tank’s internal layout. Its survivability may fall short under modern combat conditions β€” especially against drone attacks with shaped charges and advanced anti-tank systems,” Rostec stated. β€œThe Leopard 2’s protection seems designed for outdated threats and doesn't fully meet today's battlefield requirements.”


In addition, Ukraine operates outdated Leopard 1 tanks, which have largely lost combat effectiveness.

In contrast, Russia’s T-72B3M, T-80BVM, and T-90M tanks are better adapted to modern warfare, featuring enhanced all-angle protection from drones and ATGMs β€” including anti-shrapnel grilles, dynamic protection, and other upgrades.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Bloomberg: β€œPutin Heads Into Trump Call Confident That Russia Has Upper Hand"

According to Bloomberg, Putin believes the Russian army will break through Ukrainian defenses and take full control of four regions by the end of the year.

β€œPutin is confident in his strong negotiating position ahead of talks with Trump today and believes the Russian army can take control of four regions by the end of 2025,” the outlet reports, citing a source familiar with the Kremlin leader’s thinking.


Putin is reportedly prepared for a prolonged war and remains optimistic about withstanding new sanctions from the EU and U.S. He plans to insist on Russia’s terms for a ceasefire during his conversation with Trump.

🐻Why do they need some secret source when Putin said that Russia has the means to achieve the goals of the SMO?
