Tesseraction posted:It's still astounding to me that seven months later not only has Ukraine managed to hold on, they're actively pushing back to reclaim territory. It this point I don’t think it’s a question of whether Ukraine pushes Russia back to 2/22 borders, but what Putler does when they begin the liberation of Crimea.

cinci zoo sniper posted:Russian government has placed an order for 800 modernisations of T-62 tanks. Not entirely clear if we’re talking about the T-62M, or the new T-62 modernisation kit showcased 2 months ago. https://rg.ru/amp/2022/08/15/radikalnuiu-modernizaciiu-t-62-vpervye-pokazali-na-armii-2022.html  So if they can find the manpower (which is clearly not a given,) they can modernize the loving T-62s the they have laying around in a year or two. For those just tuning in, this is akin to the US dipping into M60 stocks (not even A3s, but OG M60s) to replenish M1A2 losses. I don’t think the US even has M60A3s kicking around anymore.

Franks Happy Place posted:They are borderline dunbfire rockets with rudimentary guidance and a gently caress off huge warhead. MLRS was originally a slight refinement on the same concept. The original (and until 2005, the ONLY rocket available for MLRS) was an unguided dispenser with between 500 and 600 submunitions, depending on subtype. During the Gulf war it acquired several nicknames, among them “The Corps Commander’s sawed-off,” and “grid-eraser.” ATACMS was deployed in small numbers just in time for the gulf war, but it wasn’t until relatively recently that precision guided munitions became the primary payload for MLRS and HIMARS. Both systems retain the ability to fire unguided munitions, but the Army has stated that it is in the process of divesting all remaining stocks of non-precision MLRS family munitions.

Antigravitas posted:But it shows once again that former nobility LARPing as Princes and Lords are dangerous, and should not be tolerated in a democracy. Their ideology is fundamentally opposed to the democratic order.  I only discovered relatively recently that Europe still has people that insist on reminding everyone who their ancestors were. Honestly it’s mostly surprising to me that such behavior doesn’t result in those doofuses being shunned out of society.

Bashez posted:It's weird to contrast this with the report of 50 bradleys. I understand they don't have to all come at once but these numbers seem so small compared to what is possible. Sending 50 functional, combat ready vehicles is a lot different from sending 50 tracks that have been sitting in the Alabama sun for ten years with no maintenance. Also, Ukraine needs to be able to support them with fuel, ammo, spares, etc. A track with no fuel isn’t much use.

He was talking about the 234/2 specifically, but yes, all of the 234s are variations on the same theme with different main gun arrangements.

Whats more, the F-104 used blown flaps, where high pressure bleed air from the engine compressor is blown over the trailing-edge flaps to enhance their effectiveness. This also means that you have to carry quite a lot of power all the way to touchdown to keep the BLCS functioning. Pull too much power out because you’re a little high? You suddenly have the glide ratio of a brick.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-medvedev-floats-idea-pushing-back-polands-borders-2023-02-24/ You and what army there, bud? Is the Russian internal media so disassociated that they can see this kind of Sabre rattling as anything other than self-destructive?
