even ditch the turret and set them up as recovery or put on river fording equipment tones of uses. or WWII option we still allowed flame throwers ?
Never got why a Russian mercenary group named themselves after a German composer.
Call them mobile artillery and they'll do grand. Just don't roll them down the road where the big tanks hunt.
That's it or more than likely in a Crew training role , nobody has said that they are going into from line service or where they are going to be used and in what capacity.
But it seems our experts cant see past YouTube clips
I would use them as static positions behind the front to cover any strategic retreating or collection of injured soldier still have a decent cannon. Not like you would cry losing one.
And yet they are rolling the Russian Army in them ,
But joe ...
This tank originally went into service in 1947. Sure, these variants are newer and upgraded, but no amount of liptstick will make these pigs anywhere near ready for combat in 2020. If you thought the T-72 was bad, these are going to fare a lot worse.
We saw the same thing last week when it was announced that Greece were going to send 50 BMP1's to Ukraine. The BMP1 was obsolete as soon as it came off the production line, and was exposed when the Soviets deployed it in Afghanistan 50 years ago. There are lots of videos of these getting shredded, they posses no protection from anything other than small arms fire.
Lots of Ukrainians are going to get killed in these death traps. What exactly is the hesitation in providing Leopard 1's to Ukraine? It's an obsolete tank as well, but it gives the men inside a chance at surviving, unlike the scrap metal Soviet designs that are being sent over.
Putin's Russia is still only a child's play version of Communist Russia, especially in relation to Ukraine.
If Putin gets his dream of rebuilding the Soviet Union, then they will be back to going full Communist and we will see a return to the mass killings that defined that.
Hard to believe it, unless you have experienced it!!!.
"Dual use" means civilian or military use.
We exported nearly €40m worth of military technologies last year, mostly security and communication technologies.
Ukrainian sniper
You must not be Irish, or may have a limited knowledge of our history.
1.Firstly, people read. Its an interesting subject. That's why many in Ireland k ow a thing or two about arms.
2. You've heard of the 1916 rising, Irish war of independence, Irish Civil War, First World War, Second World War, the Connacht Rangers, the Troubles, every UN campaign, ever. We Irish have plenty of experience with arms over the last 100 years.
3. Every farm in Ireland and most rural homes have a gun, despite what some people think. I've got 6, my Dad, who is ex-army, collects them.
4. We read. It's an Interesting subject. The Irish have an excellent reputation as Marksmen. We've won the International Snipers competition a number of times.
5. If you live here, and I suspect you don't, join a gun club, particularly a competition shooting one, like Lough Bo or Nurney. You'll get the opportunity to fire unusual weapons, compete in competitions and its great fun. You don't even need to own a gun to enjoy it. You'll even get an opportunity to fire handguns, which are restricted, but allowed within the environs of a club.
It's safe, teaches you discipline, you meet folks in our forces, and its great fun.
We in Ireland like our guns, we just don't make a song and dance about it.
Plus, there is a long and proud military tradition here.
Probably be before he started wearing high heels
Would you not link to the reports please?
I'm sure someone will be along to tell us it's not happening..
Definitely some intense fighting going on in the area
Salvador Dali said 'The only difference between me and a mad man is I'm not mad'. Likewise with the Russians, they are not as mad as they pretend to be. They are trying to frighten the west by pretending to be mad enough to use the bomb. They would gain nothing by it and do Russia great harm.
...
Ukrainian might be breaking into Lyman on two sides. Lots of reports from the Russian sods that they're taking losses. Think WarGonzo reporting on it.
Pressure is beginning to bear on Putin
Seems there's been a good few reports of fighting on the outskirts Lysychansk tonight
How do you think china got some of their navy including a modern aircraft carrier meant to go to the Russians , complements of the Ukrainans,
They also sold Russia strike bombers which then in turn were used to bomb Ukraine over the last few months
Yes, there would have been detailed manifests from soviet times, in Ukraine, after getting its independence and descending into chaos and corruption, like the rest of the Eastern Europe when the wall fell and lots of people that were in charge were discarded, or they turned into making a quick profit from whatever they could get their hands on, including selling perfectly good ships to be scraped for metal (true story from another EE country).
In any case won't you agree that their interest in nuclear power plants is strange? They dug around Chernobyl, ffs.
Cant see it. There would have been detailed manifests from soviet times. They would have demanded even defunct warheads and alike.
Spot the difference
Well since we're speaking about the BOMB, AGAIN, the orcs obsession with nuclear power plants, including sending top FSB agents, might be caused by their belief that Ukrainians got some too, maybe stashed away where radiation detectors won't find them. How about that?
Because even a psychopath is rational, they kill for a reason, usually either for their own benefit or given his mortality, the benefit of his descendants. He would not take an action that would lead to the complete wipeout of his line and Russia as a country. It just wouldnt make any sense.
Has anyone thought about a Bomb thread over in conspiracy theory's forum I'm sure they're a few eggs short of dozen happy to discuss it
It's a bit slightly off topic it's more a what if question, but what do people think just when Ukraine was invaded say at the beginning that Ukraine were not supplied with any real time info, satellite images, arms and ammunition, nothing from the west at all not anything. What way would this war have turned out for them? Would Russia have been raising the flag over Kyiv or do people think Ukraine could of held there own against them without anything from any other country? I presume this is what Russia thought would of been the case.
All this stupid bomb talk has planted an earworm of the chorus of "Ask me" in my head. Personally I blame herdquitter for planting it.
The cloak of mystic around super KGB agent Putin is blown apart. He's a complete flipping idiot. Not only has he destroyed Ukraine but he's destroyed his own country also.
