Ynglaur posted:The US is changing to 6.8mm for infantry, scouts, combat engineers, and special forces, too. I have a bunch of thoughts on that new platform in the context of what we're learning in the War in Ukraine. I just need to find time to write it (and, honestly, I'm unsure if regulars itt would even be interested.) Post it!!!  Want to know if the 6.8 is just another niche turkey or something better. edit: post in haste, spell at leisure.

Even if they were legitimately a civilian research ship you can't just go sailing around in someone else's territory doing whatever you like. I assume they stay in international waters and do all their surveillance just at the edge of the "we're not touching you" zone.

buglord posted:What do y’all think of this vid and YouTuber? https://youtu.be/ALLQLsfucvw Good old Vlad is an academic with a more thoughtful approach and doesn't stray into actual military ops to any extent, he`s more concerned with peoples thoughts and motives. Lazerpig is all right for a laugh until you get tired of his gimmick delivery.  edit: been subbed to Vlad Vexler since the 2022 conflict kicked off so i`m biased.  edit again: also been subbed to Anders Puck Nielsen since he started on the war as well, it's not an either or situation for me.

Charliegrs posted:I find it odd that Russia has shot so many cruise missiles at Ukraine throughout this war but it never seems like they shoot any at the places where western Equipment gets brought in. Like I'm guessing it's not really a secret the locations on Polish/Ukrainian border where these transfers happen you'd think Russia would be hitting those places? Or is it because they fear accidentally hitting Polish territory? Gets too close to hitting EU territory resulting in Poland getting quite annoyed.

Somaen posted:That's probably the way it is publicized to play it down, similarly to how some places before earlier in the war were "fireworks storages". Good stuff getting hit is demoralising and there's no upside to admitting if a military facility got hit. Unfortunately with mass rocket attacks and storages saturated with new, good equipment being prepared for an attack, something is likely to get hit Should have though of that.  "The truth is a three edged sword".

Chalks posted:These attacks have a very interesting profile. Done in daylight, massively increasing the intercept chance, small payloads with unclear targets. It's not clear that even the ones that hit targets were actually aiming for those targets. A message was sent, sender and recipient yet unknown.

Charliegrs posted:drat Oryx is calling it quits that sucks. I was reading his blog even before this war started and he had really good articles on a lot of obscure military stuff. But after the Ukraine war started it was probably just too much to keep up with. And honestly it's a pretty dark subject, I'm sure counting up destroyed tanks on a daily basis has to take some kind of a toll considering it's human beings inside those tanks. Apparently he has had recent health issues to add to things, the group did great work.

Ynglaur posted:Michael Koffman believes that the bulk of supplies for Russian forces in Zaporizhzhia is coming from Crimea and not from Luhask and the "land bridge". He's doubtful that Ukraine reaching e.g. Melitopol alone results in all of the Russians west of Melitopol suddenly being cut off. If he's correct, then hitting the bridges coming out of Crimea may be a fairly big deal. Russia has lots of other options for supplying their troops--such as the ports on the Sea of Azov--but it's one more dilemma for a logistics organization which is hopefully being stretched in many ways. Every additional hour of delay in the logistics train will help.

daslog posted:So I have lost all confidence in American media, have deleted TikTok from my phone, and I'm actively avoiding Reddit. That makes this thread my only source for Ukraine war news. They really aren't telling anybody anything (which is good security), what info we do get can be at least 48hrs old. ISW does daily updates that are decent(with the standard time delay): https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/ukraine-conflict-updates edit: SA is a good way to filter out a lot of the bullshit that flies around and my primary link to the conflict.

Cpt_Obvious posted:So, out of curiosity, how does the thread feel about the progress of the counter offensive? Is it successful? How much progress are they making? Is it relatively good or bad news for the Ukrainian military? It's not last years blitzkrieg in Kharkiv if that was what you are expecting. Russia has had time time to build defences and it will take time to probe for good access points and make a breakthough/s. Internal russian conflict adds more confusion but may not change things overall (i'm only an armchair general).

Back Hack posted:Lot of cluster round this and war crime that, but a not single word about Ukraine is probably going to disassemble them and use the bomblets on drones to help clear out trenches, stationary vehicles, and other fortified positions. Well, we can't go around destroying a carefully constructed narrative just to find the truth can we? edit: Ukrainians defending their country have a right to do so and to do it to the best of their ability, it is after all a matter of life & death.
