Tanks have big guns, but medium-caliber cannons on other armored vehicles can be just as deadly. AdvertisementAdvertisementWhile tanks and their big guns have been getting the lion's share of attention in Ukraine, another weapon is proving equally deadly. Medium-caliber cannon — the 20-mm to 40-mm cannon found on infantry fighting vehicles, air-defense vehicles, and other platforms around the world — have been wreaking damage against infantry and other targets. Personnel load the gun of a BMP-2 amphibious infantry fighting vehicle during an arms exhibition Russia in September 2013. The effectiveness of medium-caliber cannons suggest that as armored vehicles evolve, those guns will remain part of their armament.

Events unfolding in the Russia-Ukraine war this week represent the most dramatic escalation since the initial invasion in February. But however much we may not like the war, at this point it represents no threat to American national security. If Putin feels too threatened, he could genuinely consider resorting to tactical nuclear weapons. That makes it all the more important for Biden to stay resolved to keep the U.S. footprint in the war small. American national security is not presently at risk from the war between Kyiv and Moscow, and Biden must keep it that way.
