  1. An anti tank gun can take it out. A panzerfaust can take it out. A RPG-7 can take it out. A wire guided missile can take it out. A command line of sight missile can take it out. Every single time this was said, the tank survived.

  2. The radio is usually on the aircraft. Pilots don't carry a Kenwood in their fight suit.

  4. ​ @criticalevent  One more for you in the cheap seat, you have already been told the background of the video so it's not about the hospital. The thread started specifically by retelling the original context if the footage. Not the events since Oct 7. Try to keep up.

  5. ​ @criticalevent  Thousand dollar airsoft rifles are the absolute top end, using 6061 or even 7075 aluminum in AR clones. Kids get into airsoft with replicas with ABS plastic bodies or sometimes easily castable alloys (disparagingly called "pot metal").

  6. The Graveyard of Superpowers is overstated. The Mongols invaded, obviously couldn't control the tribal regions, but it didn't become their graveyard. The mountainous region works against the invader, but those are the lowest value lands. The Mongols rampaged through the main population centers.

  7. The land bridge is about to be cut at Tokmak. Look at the map. The rail link is within range of tube artillery now. The three layers of defense are nothing without manpower. Russia already sent in reserves to prevent Ukraine from reaching the first line.

  8. ​ @leongao5120  Nah. Even an off center hit would knock the object into tumbling, and the atmosphere would force it to slow down to terminal. A supersonic airplane diving will be hitting the ground at supersonic speed. A supersonic airplane struck by a missile can spin around, take several minutes for the airframe to reach the ground.

  9. He was DEMOCRATICALLY voted out by the Verkhovna Rada after fleeing the country. If Yanukovych wants to challenge his dismissal in the courts, all he has to do is come back to Ukraine. He won't because he will face murder charges.

  10. The 400km range is limited by the horizon. Due to the earth's curvature and other phenomena, a quality weapons track at 400km is only possible against very high altitude targets.

  11. Antiradiation missiles are exclusively radar weapons. The AIM-9 isn't anti-radiation because it seeks IR, and explodes near the target which makes it glow even more. There's more radiation than before. Anti-radiation missiles are meant to shut down radars, killing the source of radiation.

  13. Do Americans have a built in Fahrenheit sensor in their skin? If your thermometers and weather reports are all in Celsius, you WILL use Celsius. You have no choice unless you're acoustic to the point of whipping out your smartphone's calculator app every time to do the conversion.

  14. No. Russia invaded with 150k, aided by PMCs and the DPR/LPR forces. Ukraine had around 250k. And Russia sent extra forces to replenish losses, they had troops from far east bases, sailors, strategic rocket forces, etc. so while Ukraine had to mobilize forces Russia had an army they could just draw from and send to Ukraine as needed. It was later that the Ukrainian army expanded to 500k-700k.

  17. Forget about good and bad. Who's still insisting on conflict after most of the region is starting to come around and prefer negotiations? Who's orchestrating massacres in their opponent's soil? Who's using proxy forces to ruin diplomacy gains?

  18. Countries "rich" in natural resources often ended up subjugated through history. Development as a whole is a better predictor of success as a more developed country can purchase the resources it needs, while a country rich in natural resources often has to wh0re itself out to scrape by. Look at Russia being scammed by India, China, Iran and North Korea. Russia is rich in natural resources yet forced to sell at a discount while paying a huge markup for rusty North Korean shells and hundreds of thousands of $ for cheap Iranian drones.

  24.  @godfunk  Okay, we have both footage of the rocket failing and the little crater that it made by impacting the ground. The cars in the parking lot burned down but glass wasn't shattered. Not a bomb. Burning rocket fuel.

  26. Okay. You're gonna do 2000 Abrams? Are weekends good for you? The problem is that you think about outfitting one tank, and don't realize you have to extrapolate this solution.

  27.  @andreiiasi  But those millions were spent what? In the 1960s and 1970s? I need tanks, I need them now, we're gonna do what we can and hatches open it is. I'm not going to wait on a McGyvered solution people on youtube tell me is really easy.

  28. No. The Javelin is a tool to remove a particular chess piece from the chessboard. It cannot replace tank rounds.

  29. Sim rounds is better in close quarters, MILES is better for open fields.

  32. ​ @556deltawolf  It's "wasteful spending" today but if we didn't spend money Ukraine would still be fighting with former Soviet everything. We in America and Europe bought a bunch of stuff we didn't need so now we can pull it out of warehouses. If we didn't buy that stuff, then the VDV would not be an endangered species and would be headed to Lisbon right now.

  33. Pretty much all weapons are weapons of aggression. Do you want to arm the country with landmines and Javelins only? Tanks can be hull down in defensive positions or charging the enemy lines. Defense and attack are required, if you defend your homeland you are required to go on the attack at some point to retake lost territory.

  39. One who doesn't have access to a thermometer or weather reports in °F. If all the readouts say Celsius you use Celsius. If all road signs say kilometers instead of miles you use kilometers. You have no choice unless you do every single conversion on your head. The number in Celsius could be utterly meaningless to him. But he doesn't have the number in Fahrenheit so he can't use that unit.

  42. One guy did one. Now try a 2000 unit sized fleet and just 1000 for foreign orders to start with.

  43. No. Ukraine used tank offensives to break through in Kharkiv. It's not a symmetrical struggle, because Russia is defending an entire line, Ukraine has to punch through with concentrated mass. There's your asymmetry. Russia, learning? They're still committing the same mistakes they did in February. The asymmetric nature also has required Ukraine to take in unnecessary casualties when they are forced to stand and bang. If they had more means at their disposal, they'd suffer less. Less losses, less time necessary to lick wounds, more time causing successive frontline collapses.

  44. It's not excuses, it's reality. You go out there to move supplies, nobody knows if they're civilian or military. The hammer is looking for a nail, don't go out looking like a nail.

  45. No, he isn't. Much like his drunk video after the Kharkiv offensive, man's running damage control. The videos don't lie. Russian attacks are doomed to catastrophe and their success comes from wearing down the defenders and depleting their ammunition.

  48.  @Nike-nm8jc  There are instances of Van Riper attempting to metagame by knowing ahead of time the only places where amphibious landings could be performed. The problem is that most people assume these exercises are like a game of laser tag. We put Red vs Blue and see who wins. But the more important aspects of these exercises are: when you start taking casualties, can you send the medics and blood bags in time; or if a Navy ship has their computers go down in the middle of combat, can you get the IT experts to fix it under fire? In the end of the report the game's outcome was Red team actually accomplishing many of its goals (retaining political control of the country being the main one) and Blue team failing some of its goals. Van Riper seems to have blown a lid and demanded some kind of pat in the back for achieving a huge Pyrrhic victory against Team America, while all the US Navy did was say "You know we enjoyed having you around to run Red team but this circus is costing the taxpayer millions of dollars per day so we better restart and get proper data about our new concepts". The exercise isn't based around "can you win under this circumstances?" but more around "war is getting more complex and now we have computers to help, can we make sure this all works under stress or is it going to be a catastrophe?".

  49. It's okay to pass the time but I stopped caring like 10 seasons ago. Best episode for me is when they have to surgically remove a live RPG-7 warhead that speared a guy but failed to detonate.
