They have less than 40 of those can't imagine what will happen if they start falling out of the skies
CGIing then into a video take a lot less training. Looks like it's out of a game TBH.
Be great if the had A-10's but I seriously doubt it.
Except the video is staged. You can see from the aerial view that all they did was drive the BMP from one Mi-26 to another.
There are no reinforcements. Steiner will not be attacking.
Its not how I was trained when using the .50 cal. those barrels cannot sustain a long burst of fire before overheating the barrel and wearing out the bore resulting in the barrel having to be exchanged, You can lay down suppresing fire in controlled bursts as well
Ukrainian aviation conducted 20 air strikes, shot down Ka-52 helicopter, - General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine says in the morning report
In 8 minutes or so if you go full auto belt dumps before you wreck a barrel,I believe the H3 variant has twice the rate of fire and pretty much only used in aircraft doors.
Blitzkrieg
You said they didnt hit s..t,maybe learn to write so people understand you instead
Yea, they didn't hit ****. Driving at that speed and free gunning means you're lucky if 1 in 10 rds hits what you're aiming at. As you stated, it's suppressive fire. Inaccurate at that.
Supposed to float , supposed to float ...
There's probably a disclaimer in the manual somewhere , if I could just find it-
Actually depending on how deep the water is they may be floating , hope they're fished out and put back to good use soon. ..
Its no problem as long as you change barrels in between ,and use long bursts
And also ammunition with temperature-insensitive powder
Well just a misunderstanding then i gues,no worries
And yes that was my point
Barrel change in between,burst and ammunition with temperature-insensitive powder
A good catch
I welcome you to change barrels duting a time suppresion fire is needed. And do the Ukrainians have this ammo you are talking about (is this standard now for this calliber? )
You have to work together with the rest on this one and coordinate offcourse,as i believe it was atleast 6-8 humvees in this attack.
And most use quick barrels that doesnt take long
temperature sensitive ammo should be pretty standard these days as as alot of problems occured back in the early 2000s with the browning atleast when they changed from closed bolt to open bolt.
Not sure if that is the same guy, if you zoom in on the ears they are a little bit different shape
Has that been confirmed about the lieutenant general as a lot of people were doubting it last night? There is a strong resemblance but I am not 100% it's him. Would be great news if was true though.
Didnt look up close,but looks like him on other pictures
Christ they really are amateur hour regarding spin aren't they. ? mean the Ukrainians have had a couple of ah here lads moments, but the Russkis are farcical. I suppose decades of crude propaganda that your population either believes or chooses to ignore doesn't exactly drive innovation. If this war was online in hearts, minds and memes the Ukrainians would be sitting in the Kremlin chugging beer at this stage.
The guy on the right is 100 % al Bundy
Yea maybe, I suppose we are looking at two extremes of condition and maybe a few years in between could also factor I
While someone else is shooting at your position too
Looks like we finally see the suspension of eu russian travel visas.
Yeah you change alot in a warzone i guess
Is it time to start thinking about what the post-conflict landscape in Ukraine but also, geopolitically more importantly, Russia looks like?
*If* this apparent collapse of the Russian forces continues and the Ukrainians keep up their attacking momentum, then the focus will switch from the military perspective to the political. So, if a Ukrainian victory occurs on the ground what does that mean for Russia itself, and the wider world?
Not pretending to have the answers but it's a debate worth having.
For a long time now, their propaganda doesn't even bother being believable. It's more to provide a whole bunch of competing narratives to give the impression that the truth is unknowable. The funny thing is, people still pop up here and in other threads promoting these narratives despite all that.
CNN say the photo taken at the entrance to Kupyansk showing Ukrainian troops with their flag has been geolocated and is genuine (some regime bots had been trying to claim it was a photoshop).
God no, don't be getting ahead of yourself.
These reports are great but in the grand scheme of things its a small pocket in the North East.
I haven't heard anything from Kherson in a number of days either.
I followed through on the thread when it came up yesterday. Probably not the RuSSian everyone wants it to be.
