Everyone in this thread has generally been pretty loving great about assuming good faith arguments. Let’s dial back the aggressiveness in how we interact with each other.

I love "loitering munition". "Hey, whatcha doing, Switch?" "Not much, you?" "Just hang-- sorry, tank, gotta go."

oh thank god, it was so weird seeing my own words in the thread title, and it was doubly weird that it happened twice because of a European land war.

Pikehead posted:Same reason that the Australian SAS was sent on repeated tours in doing the same thing in Afghanistan - political expediency. Only difference is that there's a chance that any war crimes committed by the SAS might be bought to light and punished. There was something similar in the US army in 44-45 Europe when the Rangers and airborne were their best units but got worn down from constant deployments and being used in operations that weren’t their intended purpose like city fighting and entrenchments.

The SAM was powered up, and the radars were functioning, for some reason they just didn't shoot the TB-2 loitering overhead that they definitely saw on their displays? I have no loving clue because the crew looks like they're just fuckin off and not acting like they're aware of the drone overhead before the hit, like it's not even a war. It could be faulty equipment, bad ROE, or piss poor training, probably a healthy dose of all 3. orange juche fucked around with this message at 23:26 on May 7, 2022 |

I know that the US, Russia, and some others have slapped SHORAD systems on the deck of things like freighters and LHDs, but I'm not so confident in the viability of a radar guided SAM like a TOR operating well when you're in the middle of experiencing the boat pilot trying to drive your rear end onto a loading dock. Both from a sensor and a crew inside the thing perspective.

I thought that the cliffs around Snake Island were a little taller, and that wasn't the boat docks but then I looked again after you said it and realized its the loving landing craft trying to emplace the system on the island. Good job taking it out before it could be employed then lol. Little weird looking at shallow water through thermal cameras.

I have no loving clue because the crew looks like they're just fuckin off and not acting like they're aware of the drone overhead before the hit, like it's not even a war. I wonder if they just weren't able to point the Tor SAM in the right direction. The spinning radar on the top is a target acquisition radar, the target engagement radar is a fixed PESA radar in front of the turret and the turret probably needs to point roughly to the correct direction. The sides on the Serna-class landing craft don't look too high, but the lifeboats might be in spots to prevent turning the turret. Such delicious irony, killed by lifeboats. Of course this theory is debunked by the assumption that Russian crafts would actually be equipped by lifeboats.

It's quite funny in parts because they have a gunnery guy there making a show of dispensing spec knowledge wisdom who has somehow managed to both be wrong in every single prediction they've made and also completely misinterpret every event as it is happening and they haven't noticed the pattern.

For the longest time that forum only had one moderator and they allowed it to become the Tankie Zone. Naturally, Jeff responded to this by adding a few more mods and IKs who were already thoroughly invested in the cultural purity of the Tankie Zone.
