  1. Being on the business end of a bushmaster is…negatively impacting your life expectancy
    225
  2. Why do armored fighting vehicles pointing their gun down look so sad
    53
  3. War criminals don’t deserve peace
    26
  4. The easiest way for me to describe this: “This wasn’t a coup against Putin, it was a coup against the MoD.”
    23
  5.  @Rokaize it’s 100% worth it
    23
  6. Depends on who’s sending them, Poland has PL version they could send, Germany is sending the 6, Spain did offer near the start of the conflict their old 4s, etc

  7.  @RandomGuy9  the Ukrainian finance ministry (whatever it’s called) made a public statement that Russian tanks won’t be taxed LOL
    9
  8. If I was an 11M equivalent in Ukraine you can bet I wouldn’t wanna be anywhere near my mech vehicle considering the artillery present in theatre, without an Airforce to interdict them as we all learned in the Second World War and beyond, armored vehicles are magnets for artillery fire, and the challenge is to be near enough to matter and support, but not so close as to feel the impacts the hard way

  9. No, that’s not how this works The PzH2000 is in small numbers and yet it’s not exactly been anything other than an absolute pain in the ass for the Russians, not a test agency, and if this is how Russia wants to pay to test themselves against a handful of NATO equipment, by all means, knowing that their 115 tanks can’t punch through leopard or Abrams isn’t worth the fact they’ve been dick kicked down to 115 tanks
    8
  10. I mean that represents 12.5% of the pre war Ukraine tank fleet
    7
  11. Give us Operation Praying Mantis II dammit, come on Biden do it
    7
  12.  @nanky432  that’s because I actually give a shit to listen to what the involved are saying, I suspect 90% of the news agencies didn’t even bother watch the clip they downloaded from wherever of involved parties’s declarations and statements, and probably half didn’t even bother to put that much into their reports Modern media: hoping you’re not actually paying attention

  13. “Retraining onto western tanks would take approximately one month for crews, 1-2 months for mechanics” -Ukrainian armor officer who’s name I can’t pronounce or spell
    6
  14.  @Sigismund-von-Luxembourg  artillery certainly does and should be able to kill tanks, what on earth are you on about?
    5
  15.  @yastyman  the soviet/Russian infantry fighting vehicle
    5
  16.  @mrmakhno3030  why are soviet tanks so happy? Because they can’t get any depression
    5
  17. Hey! If Utkin is gone, that’s the first Nazi killed in this war!
    5
  18. They forgot rule 0 Arabs don’t win wars
    5
  19. Encirclements have been a strategy in war longer than recorded history
    4
  20. I’m sad people are talking less and less about the Ukrainian SOTF, the Special Operations Tractor Force However it seems the Russians haven’t forgotten the damage they took and are exacting revenge on them
    4
  21. Minus the computer bits these are largely the same vehicles you saw back then in terms of role, only instead of a hundred or two meters of effectiveness it goes to hundreds, and are faster vehicles
    4
  22.  @blackwolf-sf1dy  proof?
    3
  23. USVs are Ukraine’s main presence in the Black Sea, Neptune just doesn’t have the recon needed, why spend 20 for a recon ship
    3
  24.  @complexblackness they’re terrorists, they should never have started
    3
  25. All I can think about are those times I’d watch Binkov’s battlegrounds and read comments like ‘one Russians soldier is worth 10 Chinese’ or ‘the Russian Air Force would delete the Chinese navy in a day’ or ‘Russia could conquer all of Europe and was always able to back in soviet times’ And then I get to watch this, awesome, I’m smugly satisfied

  26. Donetsk airport was a major focal point in 2014 war, long time coming
    2
  27. Modern doctrine Equip your army with cameras and upload everything, you’ll never lose another war
    2
  28.  @TheAmethyz  they’re USVs, surface vehicles
    2
  29. 1:08 that’s a lie, there was never a 24 hour time limit by the IDF, this is made up
    2
  30. Mechanized bicycle infantry The future is now, old man
    2
  31. It’s really stupid to me because of what surface level info I know of Wagner, their existence overseas is dependent on Russian army’s logistics systems. They have and continue to operate as a part of the Russian army and that extends to supply and backbone Where hot dog man gets the idea that if entire Russian army was trained on Wagner standards they’d’ve conquered Ukraine on day 1 of the escalation is beyond me. Wagner doesn’t operate an Air Force or armored force…I thought, but they don’t have war level combat experience
    2
  32. One look at causes of US wars in history shows…messing with America’s boats is a dangerous game to play
    2
  33.  @anchorread68  tell that to the 131s
    2
  34. L m a o talk about armchair generalship Please, don’t speak if this is what you come up with, it’s shown better results based on what YOUVE seen on social media
    2
  35. Maybe they were gonna raid, or recon in force, not sure they were gonna sneak n peak in a mbt
    2
  36. At least Russian Air Force will defend their home, that’s fine enough Stay outta Ukraine though
    1
  37. But the US cannot call these terrorist organizations? Ok
    1
  38. If the ammo runs scarce on both sides for the arty…expect more khersons and bakhmuts Nasty infantry fights

  39. If you had to wait until this war to figure that out then you really need to rethink how much you speak

  40. Russian armed forces never were big on safety standards…

  41. This is the Biden administration, nuff said

  42. Praying Mantis II, electric boogaloo And this time the ports are fair game Oh if only we lived in that timeline
    1
  43.  @Gidi66  serves the same purpose, so yeah kinda, but Bradley is the US’s take on how to make an IFV
    1
  44.  @Haddley333  Biden did nothing to cause this, or was Biden in the war room with valdolf and his generals? Did I miss that in the Hunter Biden Laptop story?
    1
  45. Keyhole shots Always use keyhole shots
    1
  46. Grad is sad
    1
  47. Why the hell is that T72 by itself? Yeah it’s supporting the infantry but was no one else in that tank platoon available? Were they all down for maintenance or repair or casualties?
    1
  48.  @dlmsarge8329 making assault plans on faith is not sound strategy, tanks should never operate alone, neither should the IFV
    1
  49.  @snowsnow4231  oryx blog notated one destroyed PzH, that means there’s what another 47 still active and still being a pain in the Russian’s ass, if this is how they want to pay for it, by all fucking means let them keep paying for it

  50. Palestine literally was on the cusp of having a state before Hamas fucked it Wonder why…almost like they need israelis and Palestinians to be antagonistic in order to have legitimacy

  51. All the UGVs are so heckin cute
    1
  52. Most of that is propaganda, not live combat

  53. “But postwar results of battle should not be taken as definitive lessons, for they all suffer from their specific details and misgivings, and from journalistic exaggeration.”

  54. Oops
    1
  55.  @chiefsmanytrees480  it goes reverse, Ukrainians are pulled to host countries to train on new equipment, that way people don’t die or equipment lost in random strikes
    1
  56. No? It’s just a heavily armored plane
    1
  57. Huge strategic failure in one recon in force mission? U wot?
    1
  58. M124 really is the main contributor of the preponderant factor of combat
    1
  59. Remember armed forces that follow soviet doctrine (even partly) often have dudes train by marching as a guy fires bullets Inches away from them This is probably not too crazy for them
    1
  60.  @roflanboi1259  it’s not the tank’s fault
    1
  61.  @ManOfPillowDoom No, but there was Operation Praying Mantis, a retaliatory strike against Iranian naval assets for mining a U.S. warship back during the Iran Iraq war
    1

  70.  @Ranyick ha! No
    1
  71. Analyst Stanimer Dobrev gave an interview where he described the combat as ‘more what you’d see fighting in mountains, where the focus is on the grenades rather than the machine gun’ to dig the enemy out of their slit trenches

  72. This content is better than the news updates, well ‘news’ not like they’ve got a clue

    1
  84.  @daniels0376  WW2 concepts were just modern applications of WW1 concepts which were modern applications of-see where I’m going? Besides uh, what world war 2 concepts are we seeing here? Point of effort? No, mass mobilization of industry? No, front wide maneuvers? No, like, even those things aren’t WW2 concepts people just throw in random world war 2 comparisons because they think they know something about it and shoehorn in a connection There’s not

  85.  @gotanon9659  of course you want to be protected by the armor, which is fine on the way, but the moment you must dismount “to do troopy things” that armor is doing nothing for you

  91. Because the Ukrainians are to blame for being invaded, again, lol
    1
  92.  @thomaswayneward  they committed the war crime of minding their own business and having their own foreign policy that daddy putin (or Putler) disapproved of
    1
  93. Because they want to hurt the nations sanctioning them, by driving up insurance costs for oiler voyages and making it more expensive
    1
  94. Yeah I wouldn’t call this one a war crime Coherent light detectors (ie lasers) are a prominent thing in AFVs and tanks, what we see is a civilian almost eating a 125mm, what we don’t see is, when the camera tried to focus on the tank, the tank’s warning receivers flipping the hell out and the crew postulating if that light is an ATGM
