A War Scenario of 1,000 Modern Tanks on One Side, and 1,000 Anti-Tank Weapons on the Other?

 Well....thirty years ago, you would have some edge to the tank guys....they would win in some way in the end.

Today, with the Javelin system?  I noticed yesterday talk that around 300 Javelins had been fired in the Ukraine, with 280 tanks/APCs hit.  Yeah, it's a 93-percent hit-rate.

The four guys in the tank hit?  They usually don't survive.  Math-wise, you can figure a 1,000 Russian guys aren't coming home....especially if they were tank-crews.

The fact that the Ukrainians probably have over 3,000 of these missiles left, and the US might be willing to 'gift' them a hundred a week later on?  It doesn't look that great for the Russian offensive....if the 'war' goes on for another two months.
