Someone in Russia is really confused about what makes the Goodyear blimp airborne.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:My favourite dark Russian (well, dark Soviet) joke is genuinely the fact that when the Soviets got M3 Lee tanks from the US as military aid, they very quickly gave the slow and relatively poorly armoured tank a brutal nickname: "A coffin for seven brothers". Just gonna point out that the nickname is almost definitely a postwar apocryphal nickname because there isn't any sourcing from the war calling the M3 Lee that. The M3 was a buttass ugly tank but everybody used it because it was what the Americans had available and could manufacture it in quick time.

Drone_Fragger posted:Weirdly I think the British really liked the m3 lee in the north african campaigns since its front armour was actually really good and had a very powerful gun for the time. The fact it was hull mounted also made it much more stable and accurate, and in the desert environments it's downsides of being tall ans unable to go hull down werent quite so acute. Still much worse than the sherman when that arrived. Right place, right time. The British knew that the M3 Lee/Grant was a stop-gap solution while the US continued development of the M4 Sherman, but it was also good enough for what needed to be done in North Africa. The turret-mounted 37mm was a holdover and pretty laughable in most respects, but suitable for soft targets. The awkwardly-mounted 75mm gun (also called M3... Jesus god almighty) however was a big bad bastard and had an excellent HE round for blowing up infantry positions. The frontal armour was more than adequate protection against the relative 47mm and 50mm pea-shooters mounted on many Axis tanks. Then the Sherman turned up and the Lee/Grant was hurriedly replaced and hosed off into the East, followed by obscurity, eventually finding itself relegated to "that poo poo thing nobody wants to play" in video games.

Randarkman posted:Digging up this one because there's some additional things that can be said about it. soviet birth control was famously ineffective throughout the warsaw pact during the cold war. it wasn't just bad sex ed, it's just that it didn't work for various quality control reasons.

I remember someone said they put tires on planes because the drones had pre-programmed imaging of them(or something along those lines) in which they target and destroy when found. The tires were meant to distort that or something? Why tires though? Why not just cover them with tarps? I'm sure there's heat reflective coverings, so the heat signature of the planes after sunset wouldn't show up? I'm just confused. Someone enlighten me.

Why not bury the planes? Sink them in lakes? Take them apart and hide the pieces under people's beds?

Today's Report from Ukraine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TJD2D6suNE) talks about it. Ukraine has retaken most of the ground Russia took earlier.

Has anyone got a link to Rybar’s video about how to attack the Abrams? I’ve seen his videos about the Challenger 2 and Leopard 2 and they’re pretty loving funny.
