They could double their shell count just by rotating the shell to a blank face. Honestly if they aren't putting 2-4 messages on each shell, then I don't know how Ukraine is ranked so high in corruption. E: will they draw a rough goatse on the shell?

The executive branch wants to receive special powers for the period of operations, including the reactivation of mobilization capacities and the establishment of working conditions at individual industries "outside the established working hours." Companies will be prohibited from refusing to conclude state contracts for the supply of goods and services. In clear English, things are going so badly, the Kremlin has to declare martial law and transition to a war economy (without declaring war) to keep going. https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/5436790 (in Russian but autotranslates reasonably well)

Jasper Tin Neck posted:Things are going so well for Russia they're getting ready to break open storage reserved for WWIII. I wouldn't read that as entirely 'things are going so badly' so much as it's very bad news in that Russia continues to escalate their commitment and mobilization and is doing more of the stuff necessary to be able to keep fighting longer. Which is bad for everyone involved. Ironically all the footage of Russian materiel getting wrecked and girkin yelling about incompetent russian military leadership and pictures of dpr militia with world war 2 gear was in no small part intended to get Russian leadership to commit significantly more resources to the war... which they now have. It's also not a great sign if Russia's hawks are the ones setting the course. anyways that's not to say russia isn't getting a ton of their poo poo wrecked, but it does mean that this is almost definitely going to go on considerably longer, barring something extreme Cimber posted:Like...how legit is that actually.

I expect that all of that regulation really comes down to one bullet:quote:procurement from a single supplier to fulfill the state defense order and to form stocks. Unlimited graft for the people with the ability to exercise this clause. The part about making people work 24/7 is ripe for graft. "Unbooking state reserve assets" is also probably graft.

bees everywhere posted:I always thought it was interesting that our battle drill for reacting to artillery fire was to hit the deck, then pick a direction and run for your lives, whereas for 107mm rockets my battle drill was to roll out of bed and go back to sleep on the floor. (at least before they started using willy pete) I admit it wasn't artillery, but in '06 Afghanistan we took indirect rockets every day during the summer. I think end count for the deployment was over 350. The taliban would prop up a couple rockets on like a rock or something like a bush and set up a timer. It was wildly inaccurate but every once in a while the FOB would get hit! Mostly just hit dirt thankfully. They did hit some kids in the local bazaar once though. The taliban would sometimes blackmail (ie do this or we will kill your family) the locals to set up the rockets, one guy admitted it to us. He just said he aimed off to the side so as to not hit anything. I guess the taliban can't fault him for being incompetent. We didn't even arrest the guy, just a lovely situation. We had two 105mm Howitzers that would shoot counter battery (is that the term?) but it wasn't really a conventional arty fight I guess. I saw the boosters go off once on a patrol and we rushed over there and found some charred bushes that were the launch site. Had a clear view of the FOB. From what I remember if you hear a whistle overhead you are probably safe, if you hear what sounds like a jumbo jet coming for you get in the bunkers. After a couple months everyone just stops giving a poo poo though. I have taken mortars and that was loving scary. The team would shoot a couple rounds with maybe 1 correction and then move and do it again. Their first shots were usually past us and if they would have stayed and corrected more they could have really hurt us. They did that for hours until we got an apache on station. I think one of our mortar guys got knocked on his rear end from a blast but was fine.

Had a similar experience but we had one crazy month in the summer where they had a specialist operating in the area and suddenly the hit rate went up to 60-80%. We took 112 107s in the month of July on our ~100m x 100m COP. Blew up our fuel point, a couple of our trucks, mass cal from hitting an occupied idf bunker, just every day multiple times a day. The whole time we kept hearing chatter about "the rocketman" over LLVI.

That’s actually pretty awesome and explains a lot. This explains why I also heard it used, when I suspect an Orlan, was yeeted out of existence by a Buk. Funny enough it was also really well done and synced up to the action. I thought it was just to tee off the Russians by having a German language song play as their stuff gets clapped.

Jimmy Smuts posted:Anybody here been under artillery attack? I've heard it sucks exponentially more than mortar attacks, which I and many others here are familiar with. And this is what's being lobbed against both sides in this stupid war. I'm tired as poo poo and will need a reminder later. OIF 1 vet, first registered hit went to my battery. Been on both ends. It sucks and is why I hate the 4th of July or summer in any state that allows, note I say allows, not legalizes, fireworks. I'll get some actual sleep later. Hope this helps answer the question that I can't seem to remember as I write as it's about 4:30 AM and I've been up for a while. There is a certain feeling when you, or your #1 man pulls the lanyard, and I don't mean the freedom boner from shooting a big gun. I mean the pressure wave of the powder charge lighting as the tiny piece of superheated coat hanger wire like metal from the primer goes through all the bags and lights them off, throwing a minimum of 92.5 lbs of steel with 25lbs of comp B, TNT or RDX filler(bursting, HE) or other kinder eggs for assholes goodies in them (base ejecting, Illum, 88 bouncing betties, or 64 betties and 24 anti armor spikes, etc..etc...) to the other side. After a while you feel that pressure wave when something that seems like it should be a lanyard pull happens. Its loving annoying and I loving hate it. The Army thought I was crazy because I was in the Marines, and the Marines thought I was crazy because all Marines is crazy.

And this is what's being lobbed against both sides in this stupid war. We took a ton of rocket attacks in Afghanistan, probably 107mm? These were never that accurate when used as intended (in a tow-behind array of 12, I think you could expect a single rocket to land in something about the size of a football field), and even less so when you break the array down and shoot off each tube individually with cobbled-together fuses. Still, we had someone manage to bracket our brigade headquarters with the drat things. We were in a valley and the assholes figured out that they could shoot into it easier down the long axis than anywhere else, and some guy landed 2 shots on the fob. Looking down the valley from the opening (the base entrance) the shots were far/left and close/right, and the second one was wayyyyy closer to our brigade HQ than the first. Idk if he was that lucky, that good (and ran out of shots), or some combo of both…but if one of those had hit home, it would’ve been little consolation either way. Also had a guy land a bullseye with a recoiless rifle from ~2km. Too bad he only shot out the tire of a Gator 4x4

Dude was just eyeballing it from afar, figured his angle was about right, and took his shot. He landed a few rounds on the fob, left 2 small craters and took out a tire on that Gator. He didn’t do them all at once (span of a few days, iirc), and he may have shot more rounds that were just short and he somehow kept his angle in mind, but drat if he didn’t pull it off somehow. I want to say an A-10 caught up with him, but that may just be conflating some memories. We had them firing almost directly overhead from us, and could hear the secondary explosions from the rounds impacting, so the insurgents weren’t exactly far away from us This was Panjwai province, late 2011. Rumored birthplace of the Taliban, and same province where SSG Bales went on his rampage (but that came a few months later, about a month before I left).

GD_American posted:Curious what the official response was in the AO. Lockdowns? I don’t really remember. Probably the initial investigation, if anything. I had moved to KAF by then, and this was around the time someone tried to murder one of my soldiers in retaliation for testifying at the court martial that resulted from Danny Chen’s suicide, plus the impending redeployment, plus all the stress from my actual job as a medical liaison where my brigade was trying to kneecap the position I had fallen into…that part of my time there is a mess. Things were probably spicier further west at my former fob (Masum Ghar), or whatever other fob we had even further west out in the Horn of Panjwai whose name now escapes me.

gently caress me it's weird to know Danny Chen committed suicide while I was there and I had no loving idea. And his unit sounds like half the units I know, in terms of occasional, fun, racist nicknames, like my Vietnamese squad leader, who had a morale nametag of his "infantry name." LingLing.
