Nobody assumes the enemy is dumb when you exercise, you have a live thinking enemy. You always have multiple courses of action from the most likely to the most dangerous and you plan off of that, that's why things like deception, tactical withdrawals into MDA's all happen and why we have planning cycles. Nobody I've served with ever assumes the enemy is dumb, even if they are doing dumb things.

My expertise is armour so if you're able to fix an enemy you can then manoeuvre, I'm talking at squadron level which then feeds into battlegroup and so on and so on.

Do you think thin skinned wheeled vehicles with ATGM's are a substitute for MBT's?

Supposedly Rusich is several dozen dudes, who knows, but again it isn’t comparable to Azov or the large scale structural changes that have happened to the AFU.

they were involved with the death of an antifa named Whiskas 🐈

quote:

The most famous losses are the death of Alexander Bednov's personal guards in an ambush on January 1, 2015. And a lesser-known story about this DShRG getting into the counter-base, during which the former Kyiv anti-fascist "Whiskas" died.[12] In January 2015, Milchakov announced that his unit was no longer subordinate to the leadership of the Luhansk People's Republic. Thus, Milchakov reacted to the information about the killing of the former commander of the Batman group, Alexander Bednov. The commander called the Head of the Luhansk People's Republic Igor Plotnitsky and the government of the LPR “whore children” and said that his unit would fight “against them and against the Ukrainians”.[21]

Nope, they have their place but in true combined arms, it's hard to get sight lines to put you outside of MBT ranges, we've seen from neither side true armoured recce with decent ISTAR.

im going to write a pixar movie where anthropomorphized sensitive us nuclear secrets and a refurbished t55 escape to adventures throughout the neo-ostfront. on their way they meet a cowardly himars, a heartless bmp2, and a leopard 2 without a turret brain. they sing catchy kids songs and learn many lessons about life, love, and the proliferation of poorly guarded yankee secrets

coming soon to vhs

the US hasn’t made any real advances in nuclear tech in years and Canada’s SMR projects are literally all just attempts to replace the energy requirements of fossil fuel extraction with nuclear to get more fossil fuels, there’s nothing in that plant the Soviets didn’t have in the 70s I’d bet lolol

lol this is wild


quote:

A pro-Kremlin reporter, Olga Skabeeva, said recently on Russian state television that soldiers’ freezing sperm amounted to “genetic experiments to construct a nation.”

“With the help of artificial selection,” she warned, “a whole army of selected Ukrainians with an increased level of Russophobia will be bred.”

Natalya Tolub, a spokeswoman for the IVMED fertility clinic in Kyiv, the capital, said in an email that the reporter’s statements were a sign that the Ukrainians had hit their mark. “Success,” she wrote.
