Comments by "Titanium Rain" (@ChucksSEADnDEAD) on "Ukraine Veteran about Improvised Russian Weapons" video.
I'm still laughing. The tank being "used properly" is less efficient that proper SPGs due to accuracy, range and barrel life concerns, while being too vulnerable to cheap FPV RPG-7s. Please. I wish all Russian SPGs could be magically turned into T-62s. I'd laugh so much harder.

I wouldn't be mocking if I took a heavy rock to the face. However, if you have to show up to a shooting war and your weapon is just chucking rocks, that's deserving of mockery.

If you put a 800hp motor I think you'll just asplode the entire transmission.

@cattledog901 You think a highly maneuverable FPV drone won't explode your silly little 213mm rockets from greater range than you can toss them? You and me. You get in this death trap loaded full of explosives, I fly a drone. Let's see who wins. Sign a waiver.

And the videos of it firing show the mount shakes violently. Dispersion is probably a hundred meters at 1km.

@phunkracy The trucks were made for National Guard and rear echelon units. It was controversial enough that the military had to order uparmoring kits for utility vehicles. The guys who did the gun trucks weren't fighting an enemy army. They were non-infantry guys who felt unsafe in a country where the insurgency could be anywhere.

@phunkracy Again, the US had no "frontline" so any random person could whip out a weapon and start taking potshots at rear echelon units. Logistics and supply units felt unsafe. So they welded metal to their trucks. It wasn't a serious warfighting weapon. Guys. Felt. Unsafe. Non-combat troops. That's all.

If you are being forced to use this, you don't have the tube and rocket artillery to properly soften the position. War is about resources and you always have a shortage of something. You aren't given the option. You're given this instead of proper fire support. Just like drones wouldn't be used if aircraft were in the sky picking off the enemy. That's how it works.

The 88mm was a beast of a tank cannon, the Tiger crews were even instructed to not fire the gun if the muzzle break was damaged because the recoil would be excessive. This is a freaking joke. And kamikaze attacks were pure desperation too. If you can't do conventional air attacks in a war that made aircraft carriers the shining star of naval power, you're getting beat. Jesus Christ only this war could get the people who say kamikaze attacks were actually smart to come out of the woodwork.

Now drive these rockets to the front with FPV RPG-7s flying around. When they all go off, it's certainly going to do something to everyone around them.

Fine. I want the entire Russian army to be outfitted with just this. It's a great weapon. I wish I could snap my fingers to trade every Russian tank, IFV, helicopter, fighter and bomber for these. Don't mock!!!

@vonvonvonvonvonvonvonvonvo7009 It is. I took what you said at face value. Don't mock!

@cattledog901 You do realize the point, don't you? I never made any equivalence. Your brain did. You're imagining things, please get checked. I said I would not want to get hit by a rock in the face. That's a factual statement. I would not. Not wanting to endure discomfort doesn't make a weapon effective. That's not how combat prowess is judged. Ukrainian troops would pray that all Russia had was this garbage. They'd love it and thank God that this is all that Russia could conjure up.

But Ukrainians love Bradleys. They now see the BMPs as death traps.

@Mortablunt If Putin is sealed in his bunker and the bottles are taken away from Medvedev we'll go. We'll just bring F-35s, B-2s, B-1s, Apaches, etc. is that okay?

@Mortablunt S-300s didn't feast in Syria. The B-1s did their job.

Burning down your house will kill a spider, but that's still a stupid way to kill it. Just whack it with a shoe.

"Only 40 countries" that's a big deal. It just means most of the world is too poor to afford sanctions. And no, it won't depend on elections.

@Mortablunt kek LNR vet, guess you got lucky. How does it feel? To know you destroyed the very thing you fought for?
1
@Mortablunt You fought for their demise. If you cared about them, you wouldn't have put them through the horrors of war. You "fought", they died. You're here on youtube talking about it, while your precious people are either in graves or still in trenches and shell craters, rotting in the mud. What safety? Russia arrived and destroyed everything. Russia arrived and conscripted them. Russia arrived them and brought in the Tuva and Buryats to live in "ethnic Russian" Donbas. I don't hate you. But I will take pride in making sure you will regret everything for the rest of your life. You'll live as a coward posting on youtube about his grandiose fight, while others died in your place. You're quite happy with the destruction of Mariupol? It's funny, so many Ukrainian soldiers still speak Russian. Azov was mostly Russian speakers. Nobody was killed over language. You got fooled. You destroyed what you loved over a lie. And you will live to realize what you've done.
