shackleford posted:Seems like a lot of wasted cargo volume that could have been used for something else instead of garbage the Bundeswehr wanted to dump. Well, Finland sent RK-62 assault rifles and M72A5 LAW anti-tank weapons. Ancient stuff from the bottom of warehouse. Then again, Russia has been using a T-62 and other old crap so fits the theme.

By the way, more airline news in case anyone is interested: S7 (Siberian) Airlines, which is the second-largest Russian airline after Aeroflot, is ceasing all international flights. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/russias-s7-airline-announces-it-is-ceasing-international-flights-2022-03-04/ Also, supposedly the CEO of Aeroflot has resigned, but this has not been officially confirmed.

Finnish military inventory, even the outdated stuff, is routinely kept in excellent shape due to Obvious Reasons. Even if it's old, it should be just as functional and deadly as it was on the day it rolled off the factory line.

As a historical touchstone, during WW2 the Red Army lost an average of 50k dead every single week for four years. Peer warfare is brutal. Forces aren't on the same scale here, but I can believe 10k total casualties as being an optimistic but reasonable top end casualty estimate. If you just add up the crews of the vehicles claimed then you already get a decent chunk of the way there.

Invading under the assumption that it will be quickly over as the enemy will collapse for [reasons] and failing to plan for a longer conflict. The opposition leader remains in their capital to organize defense as enemy troops approach it. The invading force is hampered by disruptions to logistics and supply while defenders receive massive international aid. It's almost an elaborate hommage to Russian history.

Kofman is being more cautious than Bellingcat but it seems like a consensus is starting to form that if Ukraine can just hold on for another 2-3 weeks then they might just have a chance. https://twitter.com/KofmanMichael/status/1499967950975115269?t=-P6wL-lWG4JHwMoJ2U3xRg&s=19

Captain Kosmos posted:TOVERI!(Finnish for Comrade) thinks they are those surplus guns. Got to handle those in the army, volunteered to clean those cause we were told we get handle Kalashnikovs. I was all giddy, gently caress yeah proper AK-47/AKM, and then we were handed those pieces of shits. The stock and handguard were plastic/bakelite and they rattled around, the cover also moved around, there was something strange with the sights like poor machining or something can't remember, but maybe I was just spoiled with RK-62. We used RK-95s. Folding stock and night vision optics supremacy
