Marshal Prolapse posted:Wasn't conventional wisdom, before the start of the invasion, that the Javelins wouldn't be that useful? If the problem was the anti-Javelin cages the Russians put on their tanks, surely the answer to that is "keep hitting them until they die."

Comrade Blyatlov posted:Just.... for the completely uninitiated, what's special about a Javelin? I get that they're a shoulder mounted antitank weapon, but what I seem to be understanding from all of you, and reality, is that they are very, very good at this? They're guided and they're designed to attack a tank from directly above, which is usually the weakest spot.

I went ahead and ordered a nice MiG-29 model kit and aftermarket Ukrainian markings to put on it. I want the Ghost of Kyiv to be real. Russia's inability to secure air superiority got me thinking and I wonder how accurate the following scenario might be: Maybe most of Russia's air force is grounded for maintenance reasons and the key supplier for the parts they need is Ukraine.

Stairmaster posted:seems premature to say russia is losing when they've been taking ground nonstop and have kiev encircled. too bad biden and the state department will never be held accountable for leaving ukraine in the wind Stairmaster posted:How do you know what level of losses the russians were expecting? They knew what lethal aid the ukrainian army was getting and nobody in their right mind would plan an airborne op without considering the highly likely outcome of it failing.

I'm simultaneously frustrated that it needs to be said at all but also very pleased that it took this long to come to this. Do not post snuff in this subforum I get that there's a fine line between combat footage of genuine interest and snuff but I think we can all agree that there's a difference between watching guided munitions hit a vehicle and watching infantry walk into a minefield.

Cythereal posted:Seeing claims that the peace summit at the Belarusian border have ended and both sides are withdrawing to 'consult' with their home governments. After I heard this I think I've figured it out. Putin has gone full Trump.

SMEGMA_MAIL posted:That’s 100% right so I don’t see why people need to post azov propaganda bits and fall over themselves defending why it’s not a big deal when there’s plenty of normal Ukrainians doing stuff and scream that everyone pointing out fascist propaganda is a Russian shill and must go to posting jail. That's not what happened. I have been increasingly cracking down on people just popping in to fire off a hot take and disappear off into the night and jumping in to make a post where they literally said nothing on the subject qualifies. I did not probate them for pointing out Azov are nazis, I probated them for pulling a lovely drive-by.

Hopefully the new thread title will help. Please stop dropping by to tell us that Azov are nazis, we know that. Nobody here has positive opinions of Azov. If you spot someone expressing a positive opinion of Azov, please let me know.

SMEGMA_MAIL posted:It’s kinda weird to me that the reaction to finding out the (admittedly funny without context) post was staged by Azov guys wasn’t “oh dang good to know” but instead “WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT AZOV IS” (so why did you post or empty quote it?) Possibly because it had already been brought up by that point.

I can count on one hand how many times I even saw a bayonet after I finished basic training and the only bayonet I ever touched was the old M7, even though the M9 with wire cutter was adopted when I was two.
