I'm not sure what cluster bombs the US is giving away, but if it's the newer CBU the bomblets should deactivate on a timer and limit UXO issues.

Yeah, the US may be an imperialistic hegemony, but credit where it's due--all our stuff for the last generation or two has focused on reducing UXO situations.

Another Russian "vehicle-borne improvised explosive device" was spotted, this time MT-LB, it allegedly exploded early. This video also explains how are these vehicles "remotely operated" - drivers jumped out of it before reaching the target.

I sure as hell am not going to tell to Ukrainians to not use cluster munitions. Having said that, I recommend marking their use on a map and sending in deminers once the area is secure because even with timers etc, it presents a risk to Ukraine's own population. The party responsible here is of course Russia for invading Ukraine, but you catch my drift.

Sounds like they're going to be demining the entire occupied zone for decades to come regardless. might as well set themselves up to start as soon as they can. I fix poo poo for a living. Sometimes something is so broke and is going to take so long to get going that the equation for how stupid an idea is changes since if it works you can get the customer going while the parts come in, and if it doesn't, they were down anyways. um.... time works the same way?

Yeah, the REAL UXO threat is the fuckton of mines Russia has laid across dozens if not hundreds of kilometers (I'm bad with distances). I guaran-drat-tee that their stuff doesn't go inert after a while, and Russia sure as poo poo hasn't marked out the minefields beyond "don't go past this line on your map" A few dozen or even a few hundred unexploded submunitions is like complaining about a light rain when you're in the deep end of a pool.

The operational tempo that Ukraine is producing is one of a plentifully fed and well watered troop. You can't have this kind of tempo on starvation rations. You need like 5K calories a day to conduct offensive operations. It's non loving stop moving and fighting.

god please help me posted:Yeah, I don't get what the deal is. Why not make socks which are better in literally every way? As I understand footwraps have some advantages in supply-limited situations since you can compensate for wear in a way you can't with a sock, so it's not literally every way. That just should not be relevant for a supposedly well-equipped modern military campaigning in its own back yard. And yet here we are.

48 minutes of Soviet television that was simulcast live on the Discovery Channel in 1988, a first of its kind in either Soviet or American history. This was the first time the average American would have been able to see Soviet broadcasts as the Soviets did. Pretty neat stuff! This was one of the ways Gorbachev's glasnost policy could be seen in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQXo8HMHOsM HonorableTB fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Jul 7, 2023 |

To put it all in perspective, Russia has pulled it's last remaining units out of their deepest fortresses to fight in bakhmut. It has very few cards left to play to "correct" the ship. (Correct is heavily heavily from the Russian reference point so it's incorrect). General mobilization and Mass mobilization. They are completely out of manpower, they are using the caucuses army as well as the Chinese army to defend the territory that currently exists in ukraine. I mean I don't see another way that they can get more manpower. Like unless they pull the rosegovardia into the fray. And that would be really bad because uhhhhh they didn't do to well against Wagner or the RFP sieging belgorod. WAR CRIME GIGOLO fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Jul 7, 2023 |

i'm not sure i buy that russia is out of manpower, didn't they have another like quarter million dudes doing defense in depth along the crimean front? like yeah them losing 50k mans in bakhmut would be a devastating blow but i don't think it's gonna turn into a generalized lack of hands to staff the lines.

Why would the Chinese border army be in Bakhmut in danger of encirclement if they had an alternative? I mean we've been reading about colonels running companies because of the last of officer corps to do so. They have 180,000 people on the bakhmut axis but they are still losing land. They are loving exhausted troops. They are starved, under hydrated probably diseased or sick as gently caress always. It isn't just a numbers game. And while an army of 200,000 may seem cool and all. These front lines were being occupied by 1,000,000 men 80 years ago. Imagine the same width of front but a 5th of the men. You get pretty stretched. And your ability to conduct combat operations becomes difficult without a proper force to do so. I will throw a number for what I think Russia would need to actually win this thing. 750,000 troops at the low end. WAR CRIME GIGOLO fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Jul 7, 2023 |
