HEAT rounds do care about angle quite a bit, but they don't care about range- that is their primary advantage, being able to bloop low velocity projectiles and still have a lot of penetrating power- that's why they're often used to keep older guns in service, and in weapons like the BMP-1's main gun, which is a low pressure 73mm HEAT-chucking gun. It was meant to be able to tango with contemporary M48 main battle tanks while needing not much turret.

I think this was some kind of improvised artillery battery lobbing shells roughly in the direction of the enemy. They have graduated from using T-62 as lovely artillery to arming front-line troops with them. They are running out of more modern stuff that's working.

Additional spaced/composite armour usage (e.g. along the lines of Chobham and Dorchester armour) on Western tanks such as CR2 and M1A2 has done a lot to reduce effectiveness of HEAT shells.

Don't underestimate those brushless motors. They're way more powerful than they look. My concern isn't in whether they can lift that, it's in how quickly those motors and speed controllers are going to rip through the battery life. None of the ones in the pic have a battery attached, so that'll be additional weight as well. When I was doing quadcopter DIY and building out camera platforms/racers, you could lift a pretty goofy amount. The reason those heavy cam platforms have like 8 arms of dual motors isn't so much for the payload, as it is for stability and airtime.

zone posted:Nothing says how much Russia is winning like terrified collaborators pleading to be anywhere but in Ukraine. Though somehow I doubt all of them will have the chance to make it out, with those left having to look to themselves as best they can after being abandoned. Oh well, sucks to be them. A safe bet would be to move them all over to Collab-nistria. A thin strip of land loaded with collaborators.

No academics or commentators chiming in, just an army of terminally online nobodies and ridicule from cartoon dogs. Maybe if they want more serious engagement they should rethink their habit of plastering the Wagner skull patch over nearly everything they post. It doesn't help your cred to be cheering the advances of the Neo-Totenkopf brigade, it just gives off major "Are we the baddies" energy.

if I sincerely believed that a country was held hostage by neo-Nazis with their hands on all the levers of power such that dismantling chunks of that country was the only way to rehabilitate it, I would probably argue that the neo-Nazis were doing more damage to the country's cause than a bunch of low effort trolls spamming doge memes but that's just me

Saw similar claims, including that he requested to be 'deported', as he was afraid that if he stayed in Ukraine after snitching he was at risk of reprisals from Russia sympathisers for betraying them. All just rumours at the moment, not seen any real confirmation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jogXZQW5D_E Two new intercepted phone calls. One's just a DPR soldier recovering from his wounds in a hospital, complaining about his treatment and its quality there, being forced to go back to the front. So instead he decided he wanted to up and leave back to his hometown to get treatment at his local hospital. Now the other intercept is pretty interesting, it's from one of the people who coordinated the hullabaloo in Luhansk that eventually became a full scale civil war. What he essentially said was that few to none of the locals - which squares once again with what Strelkov had to say - were interested in any separatist movement being formed. He also blamed so-called fifth columnists, the leadership of Russia itself, and everyone else he could think of for the disastrous result of this invasion. What's more, this agent says that, or rather admits, that it's not no HATO and American mercs that made this happen, just Ukraine alone with whatever help they got and their own trained armies. He ends on an extremely bitter note that this was all supposedly set up and planned by America to destroy Russia as a geopolitical threat. My dear traitor, this would never have happened if you and the others hadn't provoked it to start with.
