  1. What's this the 5th or 6th time in the past two weeks they've tried? All repulsed. As a longtime military historian, one of the things I most respect about RU is how they keep so many old weapons, for decades even, long beyond when you'd think they would be useful, and here they are in 2024 still punishing their opponents. NATO by contrast, so vastly wealthy for so long, throws away virtually anything over 30 years old. Earlier this year at Avdiivka, RU took anti-submarine rocket launchers from the 1960s off old warships, welded them to a T-55 chassis, and instant mobile artillery. Designed to sink subs, the rockets were huge but inaccurate since they were meant to be fired in a pattern in the open ocean. Didn't matter since area effect what exactly what was needed at Avdiivka. Now, at Kursk, since AFU is using mostly speed/mobility tactics with wheeled armored vehicles, RU has used the MT-12 Rapira 100mm gun from the late 1960s; originally an anti-tank weapon, it is no threat to Abrams/Leopard2 , but against these Strykers and Senators, it is a crushing smoothbore sniper. At crossroads or just outside town in a low ditch with trees all around and covered in leaves, it is invisible until it fires, and 100mm is way enough to one-shot any APC or armored car. Just makes an old history nerd proud....."

  2. No accident that one day after Duda runs his mouth , Putin obliges him and sends a cruise missile into his territory. That Putin, the master at trolling for 20+ years and counting....🤣

  3.  @CaptainHarris-ip2kg  Yes, they have. Weeb Union, DPA, MilSum, others all reported many attempts to cross the border south of Kursk over the past two weeks. All repulsed.
