zone posted:TIL small amounts of 80s and 90s tech, not even aircraft yet, is enough to break glorious Puccia in a straight fight to the point where they have to land mine everything to hell just to desperately hold on to what they have, while failing at it. And this Tuvan moron thinks that's a "significant" amount of resources. My dear man, you're losing to NATO's spare change and hand me downs. No amount of cope will change that. 'in order to turn the situation on the battlefield in its favor' Careful Shoigu. You are very close to acknowledging that you are losing and are therefor discrediting the SMO.

I have dared to besmirch the Glory of the VEEDEEVEE, and now they are parachuting in to tell me "no actually the VDV are elite and did their mission, that's why Kyiv fell in d-"  Russia's military is utter trash, stop defending it. I was shocked too when they were this garbage back last year in February, it's utterly trash. North Korea could probably give them a good run for their money, hell I think Iran would win Lmao ANY NATO state would obliterate them TulliusCicero fucked around with this message at 12:21 on Aug 9, 2023 |

Yeah? And? How is that significant? Would you not??? I don't see it as significant or unexpected and I'm wondering why Giggolo does. The big thing is they were already deployed, not held in reserve and then deployed to a new area.

Making decent optics is extremely expensive and specialist. Why would you put an ammo factory next to the irreplaceable optics production?

NihilCredo posted:I'm gonna banish myself to the unnamed tankie forum for this, but I don't think I like Luxembourg's chances there. Does Russia start on the border or do they have to drive over? Even assuming that drive is unopposed I don't like their odds.

So wearing enemy uniforms is a war crime, but impersonating using captured comms isn't?

Why was Tomov, a battalion commander, personally leading a group of under 20 soldiers on a support mission? Weirdness.

steinrokkan posted:Still better than the Russian AK modernization program The Russians should have just slapped some tacticool accessories on the Ak-74, and called it a day. When you look at the Ak-12, you would think, "but thats what they did!". Nope, they made a rifle that looks similar but is worse and more expensive

NihilCredo posted:I'm gonna banish myself to the unnamed tankie forum for this, but I don't think I like Luxembourg's chances there. The Russians got lost along the way because they sold the GPS. Then requested more money for fuel as the money reserved for that never arrived. Half the troops are missing uniforms and armaments and the other half are in trucks with rotten axels, tires and engines that haven't seen maintenance since 1953. Meanwhile, the Grand Duke flies his ~1100 troops to Moscow and Putin gives him a side hustle training the army of Belarus, and a complimentary diamond mine in the Central African Republic.

The problem for them is that they couldn't have held out forever and the support that was supposed to have came in never did, so they got their poo poo wrecked when Ukranian troops regouped.

Strategic Tea posted:Surely this time the people won't stand for this abuse and blindly follow orders straight off a cliff!! Russian enforcement are skilled slavers that can keep the desperate contained, including when said slaves have guns. This isn't like ignoring a draft notice, I doubt there's an element of awkward silence where the convicts can make a Good Moral Choice. They have no choice, by design of skilled torturers and herders of humans, and the russian gov't has thrown the kayfaybe that these guys have any say in the matter whatsoever out the window..

Der Kyhe posted:Its also a word play since Belarus(sia) literally means White Russia and Niger just sort-of joined the Putin's clubhouse of "Shithole dictatorships which exist only because of Russia" Yeah Belarus in finnish, at least, is called Valkovenäjä, which is literally White Russia and as stated above. It's kinda interesting, this is what a lazy google search, as for why that is, suggests: "The name Belarus (or Byelorussia, as it was called earlier) can be literally translated as White Ruthenia. Max Vasmer's dictionary suggests that the name may have come from the white clothing worn by the local Slavic population."
