Karate Bastard posted:What does TASS mean? I mean I understand rear end, but what does the T stand for? Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Soyuz [the USSR]. They rebranded as ITAR-TASS (Information Telegraph Agency of Russia) for a bit, but went back to just TASS in 2014; I think it's one of those mildly annoying "this is no longer an abbreviation" rebrands.

There was a weird video of people suited up with hazmat poo poo/bio suits in the occupied area. I had sussed this was part of possible bio weapons terrorism by Russia. But I guess not?

But I guess not? Lol why would you go immediately to that? Generally speaking, whenever there's a big flood there's increased risk of water-borne diseases from all the sewage and dead stuff floating around, and from water-borne vectors like mosquitoes and parasites and the like.

I mean, bringing back mothballed weapons has been the thing in this war, we have already seen Mosin-Nagant rifles, Maxims and I am 95% certain that I have seen Lewis gun, or something really similar looking, in the service. So Russia bringing back antitank rifles wouldn't be completely odd, I mean FDF until 1988 had similar Lahti L-39 mothballed and in storage as infantry's anti-helicopter guns. ^^^^^^ After a massive flood everything is covered in a thin-to-medium thick layer of poo poo brought up by the flood waters. You really do not want to go out there unless you have biosafety overalls, wellies, antistab gloves and respirator, unless you enjoy getting all diseases known to mankind.

spankmeister posted:Lol why would you go immediately to that? Because Russia is very close to losing the war and finding a way to freeze the conflict lines is their only way out at this point that doesn't include losing everything or the Crimean land bridge. So seeing a bunch of bio hazmat dudes got the first time in a long time was a surprise. And I didn't expect they'd be doing anything other than something nefarious. I mean Russia has not given a gently caress about anyone or themselves for the entirety of the war so I didn't think it would be a humanitarian mission.

I mean that has to just be like the Belorusian soldiers making a human pyramid, it's just fetishization of WW2 equipment, he's even basically doing trick shots that you would never really do in combat by shooting it standing like that as far as I understand those weapons. If you want an old AT weapon, RPGs have got to be waaay more effective than that and there are literal millions of them around.

Those things are just heavy machineguns with a relatively long barrel if they can do full auto, or heavy semi-automatic rifles if they cannot. There are potential uses for them where they don't completely suck, but doing its original thing, antitank, isn't one of them.

Bullet tumble. At five meters. And for some reason they're shooting a brick wall. Though as someone pointed out, they're not worried about ricochet because it already ricochets - when it hits the air in front of the muzzle.

I guess you could also basically use it to shoot at hummers and whatever. Though there has to be more convenient ways to do that.

free hubcaps posted:ive gotta imagine the more modern russian heavy machine guns would be more effective against light armor than a ww2 era anti materiel rifle anyways Yes, but then you notice that the roof of your dacha's spa pavilion needs new marble statues and they aren't exactly cheap; It's also very easy to sell actual heavy machine guns, or lose the money given to make more. At least easier than trying to make money with 50+ year old relics, that no longer are suitable for their primary function. EDIT: Did a bit of googling and PTRS-41 and PTRD-41 both are single fire, so they don't actually work as heavy machine gun substitutes that well either.

HAmbONE posted:Are those rounds hitting the target sideways? Modern rifle bullets get improved lethality without breaking the Hague conventions1 by being designed so that they are stable in air but unstable in anything denser, like flesh. The idea being that the bullet flies straight and true in air, but as soon as it hits someone it will start a rapid and catastrophic tumble until it's going sideways, at which point it fragments. To do this correctly, the bullet needs to be right at the edge of stability when it's in air. If you gently caress up a little, it'll start going sideways straight out the barrel. This not only takes away all your accuracy, but is also so unaerodynamic that the bullet slows down really quickly. 1: By some interpretations...

Here's some extremely cynical poo poo:The Russo-Ukrainian War posted:The USSR began its life with massive affirmative action for the non-Russian cultures outside the Russian Federation. But cultural Russification of the borderlands returned in the late 1920s and early 1930s, when Stalin emerged as Lenin's sole successor and began preparing the country for war. One reason for the change was industrialization, which, given Russian control of the all-Union party, came with the advance of Russian as the language of administration, science, and technology. Another reason was accommodation of the Russians as the largest nationality in the now Soviet empire, along with concern to integrate the non-Russian nationalities culturally so that they would not switch sides in the coming war.

Is this where the distant explosion was seen earlier? The post says it was a known ammo dump for 8 years, so that's weird that they didn't take it out earlier.

mobby_6kl posted:Is this where the distant explosion was seen earlier? The post says it was a known ammo dump for 8 years, so that's weird that they didn't take it out earlier. Yes, that's exactly it. They couldn't take it out because it was out of the himars range and why they kept asking for longer distance weapons. Now with the ability to hit stuff really far away, not only prigozhin is going to feel the lack of munitions. It's on the one rail line going from Crimea

Geolocation: 46.3343216, 34.7542710 I believe that puts it outside HIMARS range, so it's almost certainly had to be kept in reserve until Storm Shadow came along. Before & after satellite photos: https://twitter.com/bayraktar_1love/status/1670414041645187078
