HonorableTB posted:MAP It would be surreal at this point if Wagner/Russia culminates this whole offensive and then right at the end they just can't finish, or if gliding JDAMS is just the linchpin that halts their advance. I imagine 1000-3000lb bombs can do significantly more work than 155 arty rounds can.

zone posted:https://twitter.com/Maks_NAFO_FELLA/status/1633825336101306372 I had a friend in the military who did a lot of war gaming and he at one point mentioned that the Chinese rig their war games so that China always wins. It’s probably the same here. How could glorious ally to perfect China not win?

zone posted:That's almost too precious for words. You'd think they'd at least not make the same mistakes Russia did with their military, but now I'm not so sure they haven't gone the same route. It's all part of the same authoritarians dilemma, advancement and being non dead rely on asskissing and reinforcing to the people above you that they're very smart and handsome. Of course boss your plan is great and will result in great success. And your bosses bosses plan is great too. Aside from the PLA not being a Army in the sense of built to fight foreign adversaries (It's mostly an internal suppression force), I had another friend who did a lot of observation of large scale corps of engineers type projects, and they sound like they anecdotally suffer from the same problems the Russians do. Can't take a dump without the go-ahead from Beijing first, no effective NCO's, and the funniest was a lot of observation on how the enlisted guys would just straight gently caress off and leave if there wasn't an LT there yelling at them to do their jobs.

A lot of it is probably also 'It worked during the great Patriotic war, ergo it'll work here, not get moving those fishbricks aren't going to award themselves' without taking into account than in the intervening 8 decades all your enemies have automatic weapons and other explody things.

For those who’d know. Do shaped charge warheads actually have to be moving at any speed to do their thing? Or can you just gently touch the nose to something and set it off?

I don't know how to grab/embed Reddit videos, but my second fav today is the attempted Russian water crossing with one of those amphibious APC's, and they forgot to close all the hatches, so it just drives into the water.....and sinks.

Xi was officially welcomed to Russia by the deputy minister for sports because Putin (or a man that looks like Putin) probably don’t want to be in a pre determined place. https://twitter.com/tendar/status/1637770986920574978?s=46&t=PJIxGDyp2ZcdczVnKDD3nA

HonorableTB posted:Speaking of warzones here's the latest casualty count: Are they speedrunning to 400k by the end of the year? I also thought Aikido was a perfectly good martial art for average people to learn what to do if a Eagles fan throws a roundhouse at a bar and you need to put him on the ground then leave. I thought its whole thing was do the minimum necessary to defend and then extract yourself from a situation.

Our call up of 147k new conscripts will not result in them being sent to combat. Also, it's only a coincidence that you can't reach your son, he's, uh, training, with no cell signal.

In the I hope it's true department, some combat video out there today with some DPR guys slinging the ole garbage rod as a DMR. Wonder if we're ever going to see what the Russian equivalent of the Krag was. We just need to get the T-34's out of storage and they can truly reenact WW2.

The problem for Russia is that when they’re not doing their ‘I’m totally not owned bro’ media, is that Finland joining means an enormous amount of their non cruise missile or air dropped bomb nuclear deterrence is now like a helicopter jaunt from a NATO member. Along with the, correct me if I’m wrong, the biggest of their submarine bases. That’s why they’re being dongs about it and setting up all the GPS jamming along the border.

Cugel the Clever posted:One of the things that really jumped out at me from the videos of the aftermath of the assassination of the Rashist blogger is the near complete lack of assistance any of the injured are being offered. Shock from the blast can't fully account for it—at least one of the videos had people who looked fine just walking around, making phone calls, to the complete neglect of the obviously injured staggering around or lying in heaps. I feel like in a country that this kind of poo poo happens with some regularity, There is probably a decent amount of people that run the mental calculation that if this was a hit, that if they help out, and god forbid, they save the target, they're just as likely to be a target.

Barry Bluejeans posted:How does the command structure work for Wagner troops? I assume that they have low-level officers of their own but that at some point up the chain there's a Russian military official overseeing their actions. Do they enjoy less oversight in Africa, and if so is it because Russia simply doesn't care as much about what Wagner does there so long as they deliver results? I always assumed it was dragon rules. The bigger your mound of stolen poo poo the higher your rank.

Obviously it says a lot that Belarus didn't join the invasion but I dont think theres a pro-EU supermajority in Belarus, especially in the military I don’t think they’re pro EU, but I wonder how much they’re pro-I don’t want to die in Ukraine.
