mobby_6kl posted:What's a good time for this? Haven't been further north than Trollhättan (which isn't much) but I've been meaning to make a trip to Lapland or Tromsø or ideally both at some point. Winter is cool what with the snow and reindeer and northern lights but no idea if it's conductive for general exploration and hiking and what not. Please don't go hiking in winter anywhere near Tromsø unless you are very good at cross country skiing, arctic survival and avalanche preparedness. That loving countryside kills a lot of people in winter and is really easy to underestimate. Other that that, the general region is gorgeous and wonderful and I love Tromsø.

And probably get thousands of orders from every euro military. Given how Ukraine has demonstrated just how much hurt a smart defensive effort can put on an invader I'd want versatile tactical poo poo over more static gear. Hell of anything this war is proving that mobility is life in modern warfare.

Philonius posted:Capabilities of military systems are usually understated a bit (in the west at least), but missile range is an inherently fuzzy concept. A missile might have an absolute maximum range of 50 kilometers, but when it gets there it will have zero energy to maneuver and so the chance of hitting a moving target goes down a lot. If your missile has a 95% kill chance at 30 km, 80% at 40 km and 20% chance at 50km, what is the missile's range? 20% of the time they work at 50 km 100% of the time.

Storkrasch posted:If Sweden trains Ukrainians, Czechia and Sweden could possibly end the lease and provide them to Ukraine. Czechia is getting F-35s I think, and NATO could probably help them temporarily. Sweden is in a different situation, not being in NATO and relying heavily on its air force. Well I mean. In NATO in all but name, however there is this https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2023/03/24/nordic-countries-move-toward-linking-their-air-forces-250-planes/ I don't think Sweden is going to have to stand alone for much longer. Just need to get off their rear end from fika and join NATO already.

If Ukraine joins NATO and Zelensky resigns from office I can't think lf anyone better qualified to be Secretary general and what a gently caress you that would be to Putin. If nothing else Stoltenberg could finally step down and I dunno, be reunited with the concept of lutefisk.

Is the western industrial complex genuinely unwilling or unable to provide Ukraine with sufficient military means to make warfare to painful for the russians? That seems very stupid and short-sighted. I mean while russia is busy with Ukraine they aren't a threat to the rest of us, but that's going to change if they win. Russia has pulled the mask fully off, and I really don't think anything is off the table for Putin. He might want a chunk of any of our countries. We literally have zero excuse for european military means other than to defend against russia, the only realistic threat. Might as well put it to work for its intended use, it's not as if NATO is losing soldiers. And not ramping up production? I mean come the gently caress on, absent peace in europe we know from a lot of loving experience that no nation in europe is safe. Russia has broken the european peace that NATO and the UN and even the goddamned EU was supposed to help keep and we are really going to do the thumb twiddling thing again against a country with the gdp a fraction western europe? We are really going to do that? Seems quite stupid.

What pisses me off the most about letting Ukraine down with vehicles, weapons and ammo is how loving good they are at this. Like they are making Russia hurt like they haven't been for over half a century, and all with leftover poo poo. It is insane value for defence dollars. Europe needs to arm the gently caress up anyway because Putin's ambitions won't stop in Ukraine. And for that we need factories and actual ability to produce. Juice that the gently caress up and send the first batches of everything to Ukraine, how hard can this be? Useless goddamned politicians.

Der Kyhe posted:Congratulations also to the Tsar Vladimir 'shitpants' Putin for making the joint defense treaty encompassing all Nordic countries a reality, his work really made an impact on the NATO expansions policies. It really cannot be overstated how big a deal this is (locally). Like, this was a major policy goal for nordic politicians in 1949 and even with the post-WWII European situation a pan-nordic defence alliance just could not be cemented, despite the best efforts of our greatest leaders. Like it was Gerhardsen's biggest regret and failure. Now, Putin has done the loving impossible, and it's about time we order a 20 Gotland class submarines, a few hundred Gripens and a thousand liters milk and put them on the border with Russia. gently caress Putin.

Ronwayne posted:The venn diagram overlap between "russia does not implode" and "russia unwilling/unable to continue persecuting the war" is a very small area, sadly That's just brinkmanship with extra steps. If the US response to russian aggression and expansionism is to chicken the gently caress out, that's going to have some consequences for international relations. Some very beneficial to Russia, and not so much the US.

Take it from me, when a bunch of loving Quislings want to take political power to aid the cause of the current Strong Man fascist, it really should be a cause for concern. You hear someone speak highly of them, that's your hint that this person when push comes to shove would collaborate their rear end off and would betray their country (to say nothing of honor, decency and human rights) to said fascists at the mere suggestion of status with the enemy regime. People are the same as they always were.

People tend to forget, we share a border with them and it's not super defensible. If Russia finishes up with Ukraine, we are going to look like a tempting target to a certain shitheel in Moscow.

Dwesa posted:wall-e, what's happened to you? Looks top heavy. Why not design these like you would a miniature tank, with wheels or no? Can't be that hard to flatten that out some, give some stability for fire and manouver. I freely concede I'm no kind of drone designer, but I thought the IFV/tank was sort of the optimal design for this.
