I like the camo netting on a Pantsir deployed on a custom construction that's visible from miles away.

Comrade, you dare doubt russian ingenuity and masculine solutions to pathetic western problems? By putting pantsir at top of ramps, rather than the bottom (as worthless ""nato"" doctrine would suggest,) drones and bombs will simply roll downhill, away from their intended target.

Apparently zelensky is removing the current minister of defense Reznikov (who is getting blamed for numerous cases of military procurement corruption whjch happneed under his watch, including an egg overpayment scandal, though it seems like nobody can pin a case on him where he was directly involved), and replacing him with Umerov, a muslim crimean tatar who previously did negotiations on the black sea grain deal, and apparently had a good track record on his management of the previously-embezzle-prone state property fund.

Elevating a AD above the treeline is normal. You use whatever hill you can find.

Dwesa posted:Russia is now placing pantsirs on towers Supposedly there is actually some benefit from putting them in a elevated position inside a city or hilly area. It lets their radar system 'see' stuff out farther. The hills and buildings would otherwise interfere with or block the radar. Won't be a huge advantage if true but would help somewhat.

PC LOAD LETTER posted:Supposedly there is actually some benefit from putting them in a elevated position inside a city or hilly area. It is an advantage on the sensor side, allowing the radar and infrared optics to look over obstructions. Not so much on the everything else side of things. It's a great example of why you don't always want to stuff a big Winnebago full of every single sensor, person, and weapon in an air defense system. It's a lot easier to elevate a towed, networked radar (or five) while the rest of the system keeps moving around rather than being an easily found and bypassed static emplacement.

Something to cleanse the palate (very) long read from Michael Kofman and Rob Lee on Ukraine's counteroffensive Some recommendations from the conclusion quote:Much could have been done sooner by the West to increase defense industrial capacity sufficient to sustain Ukraine’s war effort. For example, European countries need not have waited 13 months to begin making serious investments in artillery production. The same could be said of scaling up training programs. Ukraine’s recent experience shows there’s more to creating combat-effective units than Western infantry fighting vehicles and more capable tanks. They have saved many lives, and Ukraine’s motivated soldiers can quickly adopt Western systems, but this can lead to the erroneous assumption that the time necessary to train cohesive units, and their commanders, can too be dramatically shortened. It is unclear why the training for Ukraine’s summer offensive had to be such a compressed effort, rather than something that was begun much earlier in 2022.

Sedgr posted:Sure is quiet. Too quiet. Really gotta hand it to the Ukrainians on their information security. So tight lipped even the wins are under fog. It's interesting to see how no news is interpreted. Doomers will tell you it's a sure sign the offensive has failed, Ukraine is completely exhausted and will have to sue for peace any day now, while optimists interpret it as a sign Ukraine will knock down the whole rotten thing known as the Russian military real soon. Neither is of course true, but the increasingly despondent tone of the remaining voenkor 'grams does hint that Russian troops are taking a proper beating.

I've fallen behind reading this thread by about a week or so and can't seem to catch up. Has anything major happened in the last week since the 27th or so? I know Ukraine had taken Robotyne and was pushing further south through defensive lines.

It's a lot easier to elevate a towed, networked radar (or five) while the rest of the system keeps moving around rather than being an easily found and bypassed static emplacement. I've heard somewhat similar comments from people who wish we'd never had gotten rid of the old Hawk GBAD system. Which was built specifically to be broken down into 'small' (for a GBAD system) towable components instead of 1 vehicle. From what I can tell its still a OK, but short-ish range, system today so other than being old (even after accounting for the upgrades) I don't really know why they got rid of it.

I know Ukraine had taken Robotyne and was pushing further south through defensive lines. Some slow and small but consistent pushing by the Ukrainians. Pretty much 0 chance they break through to Melitopol before the mud season kicks in but they can still grab some key cities that will screw with Russian supply lines via artillery. Which will be a big deal for their next offensive and would largely put the brakes on any Russian attempts for a offensive.
