Comments by "Titanium Rain" (@ChucksSEADnDEAD) on "Stone Armor on Russian Tanks - Improvised Armor" video.

@Valorius Almost every weapon used against tanks and armored vehicles are HEAT. RPGs are HEAT. The drone-dropped grenades are HEAT.

@Valorius Okay, exactly how many fin stabilized discarding sabots are being shot at tanks in Ukraine? I didn't bother mentioning HE artillery shells because those obliterate the vehicle independently of the cage.

@Valorius Stop being cryptic and spell it out. Javelin, HEAT. RPG-7, HEAT. RPG-22, HEAT. Stugna-P, HEAT. RKG-3, HEAT. MATADOR, has HEAT mode. If you have something to say stop with the weasely comments, most threats not counting other tanks and artillery are HEAT.

@Valorius Yeah, it's cryptic because you're refusing to say what you know. You tell others to "learn" when you know damned well that they know what they're talking about, you just want to avoid saying anything that would make you look bad.

@Valorius HEAT, HE-DP, HE, HESH, Thermobaric. That's five. Now actually explain your argument.

@Valorius And I already addressed that argument - the vast majority of weapons being used against armor in Ukraine are either HEAT, or artillery which is outside the scope of this argument. Almost every day footage comes out of either Stugna-Ps or drone-dropped RKG-3s disabling or destroying armor. HEAT is the most common threat you could try and defend from. Artillery is far too damaging to armor against.

@Valorius Kills are still visually confirmed after the fact. Yeah, tanks don't have gopros. But a kill doesn't have to be filmed "live" to go on record, it can be observed later. How many HESH rounds does Ukraine employ? T-64s, T-72s and T-80s use the 125mm smoothbore gun with APFSDS and HEAT rounds. The HEF is essentially the anti-personnel round and would not be used except in very last resort. As we have learned from WWII, tank on tank kills aren't the primary cause for tank losses. So three out of five? HESH isn't even in service in Ukrainian tanks. HEF would not be used. So in the end it's 1 out of 5 for the KE rounds which won't see that much use because tank on tank slugfests are really bad for both sides. RPGs are the "majority", but that's because of low cost. Ukrainians aren't sprinting across open fields to get within 250m of armored vehicles and firing. They're lobbing artillery shells from 10km away. They're dropping grenades on top from remote control drones. They're setting highly effective guided missiles like the Stugna-P, laying AT mines, and when push comes to shove Javelins and NLAWS. Trying to use RPG-7s in open fields is suicidal and they're best used if vehicles walk into ambushes or move into urban areas. The RPG-7 might be the most "common" weapon in inventory, but it's not the main threat. Walking around with bags of rocks expecting hordes of men to sprint with RPG-7s on their backs is delusional. It's artillery shelling that will kill you. It's drones that will kill you. Not RPG-7s.

@Valorius I didn't, you just look for any cop out to not have to defend your position.

@Valorius Satellite photos and drone footage can be used to confirm even if you retreat. Also, the Russian forces gave up on the Northern offensive which would allow even more losses to be confirmed.

@Valorius I didn't contradict myself. You can't even point out the contradiction. You appeal to your authority, but present no argument (which any faker could do on the internet). Welcome to the internet. Having a good argument beats complaining and claiming a job title.

@Valorius I know what my comment says, I don't need to read it. You're wasting your time because you lost. Since the start that you came up with cop outs and refused to clarify your position. Should have just admitted it because your time is so precious.

@Valorius Said the guy who brags about Soviet tank killing.

@Valorius I don't know why you're quoting Nickleback lyrics.
