What's important is that everyone needs to suffer a little more, and Ukrainians need to die a lot more, but it's all going to be worth it in the end. Trust the experts.

Zedhe Khoja posted:so like what the Wagner dude took over an office in Rostov and people thought he was gonna storm Moscow and execute Putin on live TV instead of just being given a 10% larger sack of rubles or whatever? I'm not so sure Prigozhin knew what he wanted. https://twitter.com/snekotron/status/1673352609749426181?s=46&t=UyfxoSAUKW7QZlR_GhkuYA If I'm reading this thing correctly I think he wants to try the flying column they sent to Moscow, but this time it's coming from Belarus towards Kiev? Ok, man.

Also, the main solution to dealing with China clearly was to just topple the Russian again, and if that if off the table...thing start looking pretty bleak in terms of hegemony. I love how goofy and ridiculous the storyline they are making up is though.

The problem with longer, heavier, projectiles in 777 specifically is that the cradle already has serious issues and so increasing recoil force and chamber pressure is not really acceptable, neither is shifting the weight or balance to make up for it. I think I alluded to the problem's Ukraine is going to have with these guns logistically. Changing even one of these out has proven to be a major headache, and several would need to be altered to accommodate bigger shells, since even standard ones at reduced charges are wrecking the cradles and hydraulics.  You would also have to run any modifications though the many, many contractors  Which already had to happen to accommodate Excalibur in the first place  This is not like the old days when the King owned the cannon foundry and could order new guns cast to a certain calibre and old guns rebored. Now, everybody has to get paid.That dramatically complicates changes that a state arsenal could reasonably make 50, 40, probably even 30 years ago.

if wagner goes into ukraine from belarus, is that an act of war on the part of belarus? or is it an out of control mercenary group, as shown from the recent coup attempt, and belarus argues it was not responsible?

genericnick posted:The Russians went from Belarus into Ukraine. I think that train has left the station? Yeah, it is question if the Ukrainians would start targeting Belarus this time or not though. If they do Belarus would get directly get involved. I don't think it would change that much directly but honestly I think the Ukrainians are hurting for manpower and equipment as it is and they don't need even more troops pouring into them. Frosted Flake posted:Good luck to him, seriously. JFC. Canada should empty out the last of its warehouses, not a bullet left. Give Pirgozhin and Wagner your F-18s. Danann posted:Is the Abrams like the only capital intensive bit of kit that is still made the old fashioned way? Even the Abrams has had a bunch of random kits and modifications it over years that don't come cheap. Supposedly, there are actually about 1700 of them still in the desert, but they have been slowly been cannibalized/used as replacements over the years.

Orange Devil posted:I would expect to see a slide with The Gun 2.0 tbh Technically that's an ongoing US Army program,  I'm fuzzy on how US procurement works, but I think sustainment requiring major modifications is an ACAT II, so we'd probably brand it M777 2.0 in Canada. We're wrecking components on 777's because they were designed to be lightweight, but as section 5 indicates, so much has been added to them that they're paradoxically nearly overweight now too. I would not be shocked if a new lightweight howitzer program was authorized, since the trials of titanium /aluminum 777s failed, iirc.

You can also see how they painted themselves into a corner with the GPS stuff, because the requirement to "counter or mitigate GPS denial" with items such as "anti-jam antennas, sensor fusion schemes to leverage other available sensors, or other technologies" should not be part of a field artillery gun. Since the electronics on the guns now barely work, and require a lot of power (which is unreliable) addressed in the next item, enhanced batteries, and the weight is already a problem, the fifth item, they turned the original 1970's specification for a lightweight, towed 155mm gun-howitzer into... well it's going to have the power and antennae to burn through jam? Really? Like, what the gently caress are we doing here people?
