I don't know about all anti-armor weapons, but I do know that in every fight that was T-55 vs TOW, TOW won. And UKR has a lot of TOW

Vengarr posted:Could an RPG-7 penetrate? From the front, yes, from the sides definitely yes. If you shoot it in the sides pretty much everything will penetrate. Its got 1-3" of RHA side armor, its absolute poo poo. Load an M2 with .50 AP and you'll probably penetrate after a few dozen shots. A Bradley 25mm? Rip right through that thing.

I never tested it, but we were told our 50 Armor Piercing Incendiary could do damage, but unlikely to pen. But if a T55 was close enough that I was engaging it with my 50, I was super, turbo, mega hosed. SLAAP rounds I imagine run through like liquid baby poo poo.

https://twitter.com/KyivPost/status/1638879219257147394 Yet another large fire in Russia of potentially strategic importance. Was there ever any revelation as to whether the ton of big, industrial fires in Russia in 2022 were down to sabotage, carelessness, overwork due to the war or simply more reporting on accidents happening in Russia now that no one liked them any longer?

Not having encountered this Jack Murphy guy before, is he known for particularly bad or poorly-founded takes? Because reading that post I get very strong feelings of "why the hell would they let YOU know about this? this seems like something that no one would be telling anyone about if it was happening."

It seems really unlikely the US or a NATO ally would partake in direct sabotage actions in a scenario like this where Russia is looking for an excuse to go to war with NATO. I could absolutely see them providing material and intelligence support to the Ukrainian SBU, though.

It's simply quite likely that there are Russians in Russia that are unhappy with what their government is doing and would work to sabotage it all on their own, no CIA needed.

I seem to recall video of a BTR-4 whomping the hell out of another armored vehicle in pretty close conditions, pretty sure it was a tank and not an APC/IFV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnHdNPYsEes EDIT: For anyone thinking of clicking on this, I don't see any gore or dead folks in it, so it should be a safe watch, only materiel gets visibly hosed up unless I am very blind.

That's Azov from the Mariupol defence taking out a T72 with side shots to the ammo carousel, the original footage had a green tint to it, no idea why i remember that.

While I can’t speak to the veracity of this article, I will say that Jack Murphy is a much better journalist than Hersh is. He’s former SF/Ranger and still has a lot of ties to the SOF community. He’s definitely not a Gray Zone type; far from it.
