I have doubts about the RKG-1600s they sometimes drop, but when it's the "normal" handheld F-1 grenades, I could see that bouncing off chicken wire like this, at least when they're lower altitude. lol at the chances of all of them getting outfitted like this though.

Terminally Bored posted:Some great community management on display here. You can't expect management to be much better if the community is what it is, in the aftermath the friends of the nutcase in question were pleading that everyone should have some empathy for the manipulative rear end in a top hat, as opposed to the people they repeatedly made poo poo up about and attacked (including the ex-IK of this thread), and that the rear end in a top hat is very sorry for being caught. To add something to the topic, Ukrainian UAV was shot down 150km from Moscow and damaged 12 buildings. Deeper and deeper: https://theins.ru/news/260461

HonorableTB posted:Russia may have just achieved a gruesome new claim to fame in its war in Ukraine. Of some 800,000 Russian troops who were part of the initial invasion army or recruited since then for the war, nearly 420,000 (over 52 percent) could now be dead or otherwise out of action due to wounds. This is complete nonsense lol, there was not 800 000 of the initial invasion force

This is not true either If you believe that 500 000 russian have been wounded and killed already, then Ukraine forces should already be in Crimea instead of contesting control over Bakhmut and I can interest you in buying a barely used bridge

fatherboxx posted:This is complete nonsense lol, there was not 800 000 of the initial invasion force Yes, yes, we know the drill, everything's an obvious psyop. But that wasn't the claim made. Modified for clarity: HonorableTB posted:Of some 800,000 Russian troops who were part of the initial invasion army or recruited since then for the war That's a very high estimate, yes, but considerably less ludicrous. The initial invasion force of 170 000 + 300 000 mobilized (though who knows really how many were really mobilized) would yield 470 000. Slugworth posted:I thought the commonly accepted casualty amount (so dead plus wounded) was a bit under 200k for Russia.

New Perun on Attrition, Casualties & the Winter War addresses the concerns I've had. Despite much talk, speculation, and prognosticating, nothing much has happened on the ground, which says something about the talk, speculation, and prognosticating. Perun concludes that given the minuscule changes on the ground, the one who spends the most resources is probably losing, and in terms of losing the war, the war will probably be lost by the one who loses the most materiel, since that seems to be what will dry up well before either national blood reserve does. In this situation, Russia inexplicably brags about expenditure, and employs strategies associated with quite unsustainable burn rates for irreplaceable equipment, while dragging old junk out of the scrap yard. This gives me some degree of hope that we will not have to rely on the reasonableness of poot poots for an end to this.

By the way, Finland is expected to be a NATO member within days. The process could plausibly be finished as soon as by the end of this week. Hungary could potentially ratify Finland today, and Turkey is expected do so on Wednesday. After that it's only a matter of finalizing the paperwork.

Karate Bastard posted:New Perun on Attrition, Casualties & the Winter War addresses the concerns I've had. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWKwPeSnvTE tl;dr: he thinks it was Putler's order to keep attacking even when it didn't make sense, thus letting Ukraine stay in a more advantageous defensive position. He also seems to be hesitating with another wave of mobilization so they might be running low on mobiks again soon. Theoretically high equipment expenditure is better for us, but Poopin is bragging about building 1500 tanks while we're scraping the bottom of the barrel for surplus, so maybe he knows something there.

I wonder if Finland will decide to significantly increase material in its upcoming 14th aid package to Ukraine, once they fall under the umbrella of NATO's defence treaty. So far they've been keeping a lot of tanks and so forth off the table because of defence requirements, but if they can rely on NATO and the US coming to their defence in the (extremely unlikely but evidently not willing to gamble on) event of a Russian attack, that would, to me, raise questions of how much of their current equipment stock they can risk sparing in the short and mid term, no? I had a quick google but couldn't see anything concrete E: ah I misread, the timeframes on actual accession to NATO and the final package before the upcoming Finnish elections probably don't align that well. So it might be a problem for future aid packages (basically one a month) rather than this next one boofhead fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Mar 27, 2023 |

Karate Bastard posted:Me and perun have doubts as to those 1500 tanks. because it's just that, bragging. Uralvagonzavod can maybe build 20 new hulls a month and reactivate another 60 ancient tanks a month, but all of these will be sorely lacking in things like thermal sights, decent fire control systems, etc. because of sanctions. The ancient tanks are even more vulnerable to things like mortar or FPV kamikaze drones. The point remains is that no matter their production or reactivation, it won't keep pace with the losses. Not by a long shot.

Personally I believe (that I should put my beliefs up my arse hole, because I truly don't know anything of which I speak, but since I'm not a sensible person I will instead fart them out to all of your detriment) that the west could absolutely provide more if they thought they had to, and since they believe they do not, they will not, thereby succeeding in achieving the higher order strategic priority of taking a presumed near peer out of the big boy poker game for the present and slowly attriting them out of the big boy casino for the foreseeable future. I don't know if this is an accurate read, or just cope+cynicism on my part.

I was thinking how some wars all have names to differentiate them. I found some wars called things like the war of Jenkin's ear, the 38-minute war, the Kartofle war, and the football war. I wonder what people will call this war in 50 years' time? Maybe something like the war of Putin's poopy pants?

Every phase of this war would need its own name because of the associated unique stupidities or catastrophes involved. Blyatskrieg sounds like it'd fit as a catch all term for the whole war.
