I saw this on a discord and it just blows my mind the complete falsehood, half-truth and rewriting history:

"Yanukovych had the option between taking an IMF loan & destroying Ukraine's pensions, or taking a Russian loan & not doing that (but obviously becoming closer to a russian satellite state), he chose the latter, and so a revolution occurred in which trade unionists were burned alive in a building (which more recent Ukrainian officials & militias still cutely refer to, usually as a BBQ) and the administration replaced with a guy who privatized basically everything"

Like, how many things can someone get wrong or just plain lie about in one sentence. lol Especially the subtle attempt to somehow turn pro-Russian plants and agitators into poor trade union!!! workers :cry: instead of what they were and what actually happened and how they literally burned themselves to death because they were morons camping a government building

What's a good source for the story of Ukraine, Euromaiden, etc?

I'm pretty sure at this point the local actions in Bakhmut will probably lead to Russia losing all of last year's gains in no more than two months, maybe three

That stuff is called slat armor, and actually works against old RPG-7 rounds (of which Ukraine has used plenty). The principle is that the rocket only has a fuse at the very tip, and if it flies into the gap instead of hitting the wood straight on, it's going to impact the structure with the sides of the warhead, which is going to crush it and make it not work properly as a HEAT round when the tip impacts the side of the tank.

US used similar stuff on light vehicles in Iraq and Afganistan, although they used metal slats instead of wood, which gave higher odds of the rocket missing a direct hit on the structure.

Anything more modern than a system designed in the 50's is going to completely ignore that structure.

Also its spaced, so if it does detonate the jet has to travel like 2 feet through the air before it impacts the metal, which substantially reduces its penetrating power.

M1 tanks made it to Germany for training. Now they expect to start in 2-3 weeks and then it's another 10 weeks for the training and the actual tanks to finish construction. Better late then never, I suppose!

There is no point being a soldier in this war until Putin stops entertaining the whims of the small cohort of freaks and losers that a substantial percentage of the soldiers in this military are apparently literally terrified of, because giving someone a six-ruble Lada gets you cyberstalked by a bunch of hooting clowns who apparently have either telepathic mind control powers over the Kremlin leaders or lots of blackmail material on Putin. tired of watching the military struggle for literal weeks to find one of the few actually nice people left in this country who's dumb enough to be a mobik, then hurling them to the loving wolves until they leave the country forever because they're utterly miserable here. i can no longer be a party to this horrendous loving social experiment of finding soldiers too nice and screwed up to stand up for themselves, telling them they're no longer allowed to be mad when people are utter jackasses to them, and then hurling them into a bunch of loving ridiculous abuse to see how long they stick around and obey the commands to just sit back and take it.
