  2. They make up less then 1% of the army and even if they have some unacceptable views so far they've not committed any serious crimes

  3. being pro defence is not the same being pro-war

  7.  @klarion  you know it's not that simple . The terrain to the rocky tunnel hilly and you have to go through a city to get there . There is no good way of taking it outside of rushing down tskhinvali . By the time first russian units started going through the roki there were no Georgian units in any position to block that . Georgian had operational superiority for more like the first 24 hours . The first russian reinforcements got to tskhinvali by evening of the 8th . And russian cas halted pretty much all major Georgian attacks . Georgians had better infantry equipment but there is only so much they can do against tanks

  8. or how about people who see Ukraine as the just party ?

  9.  @huntergatherer7796  nope , Russia is more corrupt

  10. not really , the problem is more of opportunity to strike , Ukrainians mostly use their aircraft to launch missiles against high value targets like ships , AD sites ,depos and airfields. using a Jdam on a convoy of Russians may help but it would risk losing an irreplaceable plane which could do much more damage against Russia through other means Storm Shadow/Scalp uses GPS and it has no trouble with dealing with GPS jammers. Same goes for HIMARs and GLSDB. With the supply of f-16s , Jdam Strikes will probably increase in Ukraine but even then that depends on the number of planes sent

  12. According to them , Russian troops should be hanging zelensky by the balls but in reality he's balls deep inside Russia

  13.  @sH-ed5yf  I mean ,not really then again neither is Russia a peer of the USA

  14.  @Caliell  even the north Caucasus federal district has 3 times the population Georgia has not to mention Russia had a huge upper hand in armour while Georgia lacked anti tank equipment . On a tacital level that meant that russian solders were basically invulnerable while Georgia was mainly reliant on light infantry which ment often times Georgian units physically couldn't do anything .not to mention air superiority which played a big role Also there are obviously other factors as a georgian I do admit that the russians had a better plan and Georgian high command gave up a lot of places without fighting gori ,kodori and tskhinvali didn't see Georgian forces push back but rather go out because of orders from up above

  15. Sure whatever you say

  16. Kevlar is basically hard plastic and it resisits that so the rounds would too probably . It wouldn't be made out of off the self plastic

  17. it can use ins and against country with HARM it is not the best idea to blast a powerful jamming signal

  18. Funny thing is east isn't pro-Russian, Zelensky got most of his votes from the east , Azov battalions members were mainly from the donbass, poroshenko won the vote in donetsk , in the occupied territories partisan activity is rampant

  19. Its not the exact location from where it was fired so if you were to fire at the place where you saw a flash in the distance if the infantry there is behind cover they're most likely safe

  20.  @hairydogstail  did Ukraine shut down European Solidarity ? when ?

  21. For instance?

  22. Actually this is not like Cuba . Very different. Also in Cuba America used diplomacy

  24.  @MrZlocktar  I mean Ukraine has a population roughly 4 times smaller than Russia so if Ukraine losses so Ukraine can only lose 1/4th of what Russia has , even if Ukraine was inflicting 3 to 1 losses on Russia , Russia just by its size wouldn't have to do the same things

  25. All of them did/do serious damage to Russia

  26.  @attilamarics3374  because all you watch is Russian propaganda, UAweaponTracker has a couple videos of Leopards destroying stuff . Russian Telegram channels also complain that leopards are hard to engage at night and cause losses

  27.  @Ozone077  strawman much ?

  28. The launch sites would be taken out before the bombers

  29.  @redsun9261  yeah but not really impressive considering the fact that russians could just sit back and blast away at Georgians because the Georgians didn't have anti tank equipment

  30. Because?

  34. A few tanks would survive since they have era on top and sensors which detect javelin and then dispense a heat screen

  37. Crimea 2014 Also Donetsk

  38.  @Gorgoth_siberian  Russia literally invaded another country before 2014 those territories used be Ukrainian and now there 2 million Ukrainians who can't go to their homes . Also china hasn't recognised Crimea nor donbass doubt it was because of American influence

  39. USA used an f-16 with an experimental missile to take out a satellite in low earth orbit but GPS is like 20k km away and with Russia's rather poor space programme as of recent , its unlikely they can take them out efficiently

  40.  @leojohn1615 with 20k distance it isn't that easy
    1
  41.  @leojohn1615 as far as i understand they've not taken out anything at 20k km

  42.  @leojohn1615  yeah but GPS is at 20k km

  43. Before Ukraine Russia attack Georgia and moldova .

  44. Taiwan actually but currently there is a reshoring of fabs and companies like Texas instruments actually make their own chips

  45.  @klarion  Georgian forces were outnumbered and out gunned
    1
  46.  @klarion  it wasn't tremendous superiority . Granted Georgia initially outnumbered the defenders 2:1 and did have the advantage of first strike but there were many problems as well . The Georgian attack was organised in less than day , while russian forces had practiced for the situation since 2006 , secondly tskhinvali was and is a frotified town so naturally no military force could snap it finally while the goergian army did have superior infantry equipment , around 6k police were involved in the operation who didn't have superior equipment and also there was a ceasefire declared and all operations were halted by the georgian army between 15:00 and 18:00 . This gave the russian army a bit more time to bring up reinforcements . Considering all this the goergian army did well how you'd expect . Georgia did capture majority of tskhinvali initially and overrun the southern peacekeeper base while also taking the majority of important heights . The local forces were on the back foot and by no means we're holding off the georgians . They were loosing territory . With arrival of russian reinforcements and airpower Georgia started to loose . While Georgian infantry did have superior equipment , Russia used much more armour and air power . On a tactical level that meant that russian units were basically invincible . But the war did expose weakenses of the russian army in fields such as comminations , target acquisition , command and control , intelligence and scouting . neither did Russian training ,organisation nor doctrine win the 2008 war but heavy firepower and circumstance

  47.  @klarion  that must be one large battalion for it to contain 5000 men but whatever . Georgia had 10000 men and Russia too sent another 10000 men to reinforce. Russians didn't use better tactics or training than Georgians tho . Again an m-16 can't Peirce a t-80 so all the russians had to do is stay around 1 km away and blast away at Georgian formations who don't have anti tank equipment . Let the armour and the air force do the work . Even the worlds best special forces would loose a battle where there is no point shooting the enemie since no weapon in your inventory can deal damage to them

  48.  @klarion  combined arms operations would've been impossible in the Georgian army as it had a grand total of 75 tanks and 12 cas aircraft . No fighters or bombers . Very little armoured spaas and no Ballistic forces . The largest naval vessel Georgia had wasn't even frigget
    1
  49.  @klarion  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tskhinvali 4500 solders combined . Operational and tactical superiority does matter but only so much . At the end of the day infantry is infantry and a motor rifle brigade has apcs . One side can shoot the other side with near impunity
    1
  50.  @klarion  I would call taking the majority of a city and occupying the majority strategic points a tactical and operational success but too little too late . There is only so much you can do when you physically can't knock out the enemies
