There was the only riot since new independece like a decvade ago about an occupation memorial being moved from city center to the cemetary and the right wing parties have some surprisinigly supportive things to say about Putin and his attitude. And then they go around trying to bankrupt the country during their stay in power and warm up economic relations with the east while trying to stay away from west, EU and NATO. There was also the Narva tank saga which ended with an monument tank being towed away to a museom and Russia getting super angry about it and erecting a tank with hookers and blackjack on their side of the border. Interesting how KGB has gone from stealing nuclear bomb blueprints to organizing keying a car belonging to the wife of a politican.

Vampire Panties posted:This says Russia is building 100 tanks a month, and losing 12 a week Will it work? IMO probably not, but it won't be decided anytime soon. Russia is like battletech dark age. They aren't really building tanks as they lost the tech and ability to build them. They are taking rusted out hulls from poorly stored tankyards, seeing what has been stolen off of them and replacing it with mostly very outdated technology and sending it to the front. Reminder t55s are also considered "tanks" under this Umbrella. If they truly are not desperate and outpeoducing their losses, we would see t90 wunderwaffes on the front instead of t62s and t55s and MTLBs. Their losses indicate newer and newer versions of tanks slowly disappearing and being replaced with obr2023 that are make-do downgrades of the lostech relics of yore. /K/ had a good thread and analysis of this issue.

khwarezm posted:You know, I am Irish, so I'm kind of curious if these people think that if we hypothetically banned English that that would be reasonable grounds for the Brits to conquer the country again. Yes. And then England would invade, ban all Irish language, set up schools to teach english revisionist history and deleting ireland from history, send anyone who has or potentially could harbour non pro-British viewpoints to torture chambers and then send them to death camps along with their families, randomly pick a certain % of the population to be loaded onto prison husks and send them to the north of Greenland, replace them and fill their homes with pro British people. And in the end they claim people of Ireland are happy and thankful.

Just like take a b52, slap some ultra ultra long range stealth missiles on it and use some stealth drones to designate targets for it. Beyond visual range air combat is such an outdated concept. We could do intercontinental air to air.

steinrokkan posted:If you want actual experts in making planes that can't use their weapons without literally shaking themselves apart, you want the soviets. KA52, an helicopter that is actually expected to use its gun, featured the same gun as the fabled wunderwaffe Terminator. I did some phot overlaying and angle calculations on the videos of the terminator using its guns and I found at theoretical maximum, if it fired a full burst, it would not be able to reliably hit a human sized target at 50m and a large house at 300. There are photos of KA52 where it has shot itself with it's own gun as the gun is so poorly designed it wobbles enough to hit the platform carrying it. So in conclusion: Soviet engineers are so ahead of the curve they built an aircraft that can hit something, even when not firing at anything.

Funky See Funky Do posted:While I fully understand this line of thinking it's very pessimistic. This assumes two things - in a decade or two Russia is in a better place to make war than it is now and that only Russia does anything in the next two decades. As someone of population and citizenship of a country and ethnicity often selected as a target of a russian invasion and genocide either by joke, threat or a promise, it is very easy to see the pattern and I'd rather have the agressor put down than have my people go through yet another invasion or genocide. I'll happily pay higher gas prizes if it means russia joins the EU, NATO and the camp that values human rights and lives.

(Just in case, I'll clarify that I am asking seriously) Its a non zero possibility, especially now when russia is so weak a coup could have literally walked into moscow with no military resistance. On related note, nkvd has already found the terrorist vehicle. It's a white van with Ukrainian plates. I expect reports of it being filled with sims and nazi-israeli flags soon.

Tai posted:So as it stands, some people rocked up to a concert hall and shot up some innocent people and threw some petrol bombs. Police showed up one hour later. The criminals drove out of one of the most surveillanced cities in the world hoping to cross one of the most surveillanced borders outside of North/South Korea. They got paid a bunch of Rubles via telegram ($5k for a likely suicide mission) and fled to Ukraine becuase Rubles are very very useful in Ukraine plus the Ukraine border is very easy to cross during a war. Survivors are survivors since the russian police and armed forces took their time. You are better off being invaded by americans than protected by russians. But don't worry moscow, just like many of you want, once propaganda decides who did it, a random village that had nothing to do with it will disappear overnight there . haddedam fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Mar 24, 2024 |
