Telsa Cola posted:Rail also is a thing. Yes rail is a thing however we utilize trucks and planes in a greater number than Russia which uses trains for troop transports. When I went through BCT I flew to ft Benning, I didn't ride a train. Other dudes grey hounded. And do the same to get to their duty station. In Russia your probably using a train.

A Buttery Pastry posted:The US sucks at passenger rail, but is excellent at freight rail. It's basically in the same category as Russia in terms of weight moved, moving like 20% less, which for comparisons sake is roughly the same ratio as the entire EU relative to Ukraine. Distance from Madrid to Moscow by rail wouldn't be all that much different from Bangor to San Diego I don't think.

Mokotow posted:Someone upstream had it right that the wood on these trucks is to assist in mud, especially since they’re on a pontoon bridge transporter that needs to be able to get really close to water. Now, why the gently caress they didn’t think about this earlier is another topic all together. They definitely did, some of the "tank stuck in mud" pictures floating around show bundles of logs laid down to try (unsuccessfully) to bridge the mud.

Ikasuhito posted:https://twitter.com/5inan_/status/1500133780350197766 Not surprising to me is that ribbon bridge segment looks like it's never been used. I just came from a bridging unit and segments are always dinged and scratched from training. If you don't have bridgers on the water building, that skill set goes away really fast. If anyone wants to see some cool military equipment that doesn't directly kill people, look at wet gap crossing operations. https://youtu.be/6Nh_feflEx0 Edit: suuuuper beaten Dirt5o8 fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Mar 5, 2022 |

So what is going on with the convoy? Is it getting repeatedly attacked, or was it attacked once? Since it's stalled, why can't it be destroyed with RPGs? Like, can a bunch of Ukrainian soldiers arm themselves with RPGs, sneak up, surround both sides of the convoy, and fire? Or would it be impossible to sneak up?

Apparently the usa has the largest rail network in the world. Not having passengers on it kinda makes it feel invisible. Fortunately for me I have a Canadian pacific cargo line that runs through my backyard so I never forget

kemikalkadet posted:This is probably for unditching. Carry a load of wood with you then if you get stuck in mud at a time when you need to keep moving quickly you can use it to get unstuck or pontoon across the mud without having to waste time cutting trees down in situ. If that was the case, why would they cover their windshields?

small butter posted:So what is going on with the convoy? Is it getting repeatedly attacked, or was it attacked once? From the limited information that we have, it’s being occasionally attacked by long distance fire. In the end of the day, it is still a standing army, and quite sneaking up to it is unlikely easy.

Thom12255 posted:I'm not sure what I'm meant to be seeing? Whatever it is it's likely just video compression artifacts.  Pooptin's hand clips through the mic on the table. Also the lighting is F'ed up - look at the reflection in the woman's hair vs Pooptin's dickhead. Pooptin is too afraid to film a scene with a bunch of strangers, so he shot his part in front of a green screen. I had wondered why all of the attendant's eyes didn't track Pooptin properly, I had sorta figured they were just insanely terrified but asking a buncha non-actors to mimic a bunch of prompts makes way more sense. EDIT: if I had to guess, they were shot in the same room at different times. I went back and watched some clips, and the back stage of that 'conference room' is extremely suspect. Also no windows whatsoever, which is very convenient for hiding what time of day it is. Vampire Panties fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Mar 5, 2022 |

Boris Galerkin posted:How does the US move poo poo around the country now that I think about it? Unlike I’m assuming Russia aren’t rail lines in the US privately owned? Yeah, but they rent the timeslots out. Also america does an assload of movement by independently semi detached trailers. It's this huge mess of middlemen faced by like 4 shipping giants for packages, assload of regional bulk fright contracting companies, and a dollar per mile system on it all.  E: and yes it does gently caress up road infastructure and encourage poor maintenance of rail lines.

https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1500168055850213382?s=20&t=0rl4bw0Mv1HCXzRfWilVWg Was this discussed? The full quote, thankfully, seems a good deal softer. ""These sanctions that are being imposed are akin to a declaration of war but thank God it has not come to that," Putin said, speaking to a group of flight attendants at an Aeroflot training centre near Moscow." He also emphasizes that a no-fly zone in Ukraine *would* be considered by Russia to be a step into the military conflict so it seems like their red line remains the same.
