Is Ukraine about to have a war?
After the end of World War I, the Rhineland came under Allied occupation. Under the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, the German military was forbidden from all territories west of the Rhine or within 50 km east of it. The 1925 Locarno Treaties reaffirmed the then-permanently-demilitarized status of the Rhineland. In 1929, German Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann negotiated the withdrawal of the Allied forces. The last soldiers left the Rhineland in June 1930.

Ukrainian mil. reporter Butusov on Uhledar - the siege has begun, taking the city of strategic importance for Russians to move Ukrainian forces away from the Crimean corridor.
The Ukrainian objective is to inflict as many losses as possible on the attacking elite Russian troops.
Russian troops began the assault of Vuhledar. Vuhledar is of key importance for the Russian Federation, it is a strategically important point of communications in the south of Donbas, a border for the deployment of the future Ukrainian offensive on the Crimean Corridor.
The capture of Vuhledar will significantly improve the strategic position of the Russian army in the Donbass, and will allow the defense to be deepened. The goal of the Russian command in the 2023 campaign is to capture the entire Donbas, or push our army away from the Crimean corridor. To capture Vuhledar, the Russians concentrated their best forces - brigades of marines and airborne troops, ammunition stocks.
For us, the successful defense of Vuhledar means dealing maximum losses to elite Russian brigades. We remember how the Russians tried to capture Vugledar for the first time in the fall, and stopped in the village of Pavlivka near the city. The Russian regular army is very sensitive to losses, and there was an outcry in the Russian media that the Russian marines were defeated.
Vuhledar is a convenient line of defense, it is on the heights, the enemy is advancing from the lowlands, there are opportunities to inflict a new defeat on the enemy.
The battle for Vugledar will determine the entire course of the subsequent war in southern Ukraine in 2023.

There is a dirt strip about 2 mi west of Vuhledar (47° 46.355' 37° 10.601'E) which you can take off from with Flight Sim.

I think you will find those tanks were purchased for use in their mayday parades, nothing more.
Rashist telegrams are reporting another Major General died today. Not saying anything about cause of death but believed to be in Ukraine
Major General Leonid Leontievich Polyakov

Once again I am finding out that humoir online is one difficult art to master.
We're not there yet with autonomous "situational / spatial understanding" in complex and dynamic environments. Very much doubt that this is anything more than propaganda. Also very skeptical about their ability to procure the required chipsets and sensors.

Poland to send 74 tanks to Ukraine!!!

The head of the Ukrainian Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, said Friday that Poland will send to Kiev 60 PT-91 battle tanks in addition to the fourteen Leopards already promised by Warsaw, as part of the international support to the Ukrainian authorities in the face of the Russian invasion.
"Poland will send 60 PT-91 Twardy tanks to Ukraine, alongside the fourteen Leopard 2 previously announced. Thanks to our allies. Let's crush the enemy," Yermak said in a message on Telegram.
Yermak himself has noted on his account on the social network Twitter that "today the world honors the memory of the victims of the Holocaust." "Their tragedy should have served as a warning to prevent new crimes against humanity, but today, in the center of Europe, a genocide of Ukrainians is taking place. We will never forgive or forget anything," he reiterated.
Poland's Deputy Defense Minister, Wojciech Skurkiewicz, estimated on Thursday that "within a few weeks" fourteen Leopard 2 tanks will be ready to be shipped, following Germany's approval, which puts an end to weeks of speculation about the delivery of this type of armored vehicles coveted by Ukraine.

A few weeks to prepare ! Why so long, crew training ?
When the Falklands was invaded our victorious task force was assembled in DAYS. I see the same urgency is needed in the Ukraine situation.
Everyone worked day and night to get the force ready, tanks in Ukraine are needed urgently to ensure victory,.
…. But at least the Poles, to their great credit, ARE supplying tanks, more than any other nation.

The factors you mentioned were instrumental in 'losing' the war, which is a completely different matter.

No, deciding factors in Germany 'loosing' (sic) WW1 was to follow Austria-Hungary in its ambitions against Serbia and Russia, and territorial gains in Belgum and France.
