Any theories?
Alphabet soup stains on their trousers, pale faces for want of sunlight etc. etc.
Indeed.
You’d expect they’d be so strapped for mobniks that they’d suddenly grab- [Redacted by Russian Ministry of Defence]
[In Russian Accent] Erm…Da! This is being Rawr. No worrying, has gone to glorious Special Military Operation against Nazi Azov monsters. Da! No need to suspect…am normal Boards.ie posting person. Soon posting completely true video from front line, showing total victory to Mother Russia…erm…I mean to “Russian nation that I am *not* citizen of”. Da….
Erm… Atari Jaguar?
Highly doubt any of the trolls on here are anything but sad gits looking for some attention, rather than some paid fsb /Wagner forces.
Discussion forums will always attract these types
Me too, seriously good video though.
Well, I'm intrigued
And oddly enough it's not the first time that's been used as a source
Shot four times in the back and chest...obviously a Russian suicide.
The decline in both quality and number of pro-Russian trolls correlates pretty well with the latest phase of Russian mobilisation.
It'd be funny if one of them got drafted mid-post.
The video is from The Hindustan Times which is a pro Russian propaganda rag paid for by Putin.
Poster must have taken a pretty dark turn down internet road to get fed this bullsh1t.
So just a video of a russian tank and aircraft firing rounds, some drone footage and lots of claims by the Russian ministry of defence of all the thousands of troops they killed. also yet another video of the same vehicles destroyed from weeks ago.
You should send that to Tucker Carlson or something.
Wonder who is behind this
Pathetic, your existence doesn't even deserve to be acknowledged.
It's worth thinking about, but overridden by the civilians being blown to bits today.
a) There are large amounts of cluster munitions available to be used up that would have been destroyed otherwise solving the supply gap.
b) Removing the russians in Ukraine using cluster munitions as fast as possible will likely lead to less unexploded munitions being around in the future rather than more due to the russians heavy use of cluster munitions (and mines).
"thinking about" it is as useful as pearl clutching and becomes a non-statement when the answer (above) is already known.
Personally, I'd be looking at a large number of B-52 dropped Fuel-Air bombs (or similar) being used to clear the russian lines away as fast as possible, but that's very unlikely to occur.
You're talking about the AC130. Still in use today. Some pretty spectacular videos on YouTube of them in action in Afghanistan and Iraq. Also makes an appearance early on in the first Transformers film 😁
Not sure how effective they'd be in Ukraine due to Russian AA and the fact Ukraine doesn't have air superiority.
Another day another video.
The problem with Big C130 spectre gunships is they are useless in areas with active air defenses and manpads they are a pretty hard to miss target when they start there gun runs in a circular orbit,
They are mainly used for special forces air support and mostly at night.
Won't be seeing any over the skies of Ukraine unfortunately
Also, he has realised, that everything Russian has turned to ****.
So, he's back playing the auld European card again.
Only “back on the agenda” because the re-elected and thus re-invigorated Erdy is feeling a bit blackmailish again. Should do wonders for EU - Turkey relations going forward. As noted by a poster above, it will be interesting to see where this situation ends up.
The lie that Turkeys imminent entry into the EU, with its 80 million Muslims was strongly pushed by the pro Brexiteers in the lead up to the referendum, and had a major impact on voters. But it was lies, Turkey's civil rights and a few other issues guaranteed that Turkey back them would not be allowed entry to the EU..So what has changed now? Is it back on the agenda again?
Bit rich from them. At the end of the day not all the countries in the EU are members of Nato would be different if that was the case maybe something could be done there. I just hope that some Nato countries who are in NATO don't or are not allowed put pressure on non Nato countries who are in the EU to have to suck this up for the better good. NATO and the EU are different and this should be 100% the case.
So Turkey is looking for the EU door to be open for them before opening NATO door for Sweden. Let’s face it, there’s zero appetite for Turkey to join the EU so who knows how this will play out.
The meeting is reported as having happened on June 29th
"I have absolutely zero issue with Russian soldiers being blown to bits with cluster bombs. Therefore I don't see why I should be bemoaning them using cluster bombs."
They have been using them on civilians.
"Them potentially adding their own unexploded cluster bombs to an already war torn landscape is something which needs consideration."
What makes you think the Ukrainians haven't considered that, do you think they are stupid?
Seemingly Putin has met with Prigozhin.
The problem with that line of reasoning is, will Ukraine hold their admittedly war torn Country, or will Vladimir Putin have it? Because while Ukraine have no say in the condition it will be in, their very survival as a nation is at stake, and Putin has stated this. First things first, and the priority at the moment is kick the Russians out of Ukraine, using the most effective weapons available, be they Cluster bombs or "other" ? i have absolutely no compunctions about Ukraine using cluster munitions, and believe that the US manufactured ones have a very low failure rate, plus they are time fused, if they don't explode on impact, then they will decay within a certain time limit. Russian / Chinese / Korean cluster bombs, with much higher failure rate, don't have this inbuilt protection.
I also suspect Kyiv were also told, in no uncertain terms from Biden & co., that if the bombs were deployed in Russia all this support they had been receiving might sudden evaporate in an instant. I'm sure Zelensky was canny enough to know this himself, but I'd be shocked if there weren't some off-the-record conversations between the White House and Kyiv about how and where the munitions could be used.
Nah horseshit he hasn't made a noteworthy post on this thread that I can remember. You iirc incorrectly. Pretty pathetic seeing you lot trying to use post counts as leverage, really childish.
myself i think Ukraine should be given what they need,be that the cluster bombs/amuntion all the way up to jet fighters,helicopters etc...as an aside i seem to remember reading about Vietnam at the time,the US had an airplane type called either "spooky" or "puff the magic dragon" (aye the song was popular around that time) i maybe wrong as i know next to nothing about either airplanes or guns but i remember reading that it had at least 2 of the electric type gatling guns mounted in the doors,the plane would be called to an area and do a left bank,turn on the guns and pretty much the whole area was blanketed with gunfire...wondering to myself if they have any of those planes left?could be kind of handy for Ukraine...
Strapping a roller to the front of a tank is an old idea. I saw it used a long time ago in Grozny. The tank rolled over the mine and blew it, but because the roller was on two extended arm's attached to the tractor, it was just lifted up into the air, before falling down and on to the next mine. Grand, until the Chechens decided to link two mines together, placing them the same distance apart as from the centre of the tank, to the centre of the roller. The first mine had its trigger removed, and linked to the trigger of mine Nr 2. So the tank pushed the roller over mine nr 1, ( no reaction) but when it hit mine nr2, both mines exploded simultaneously. Bye bye, tank and roller, but in any case, the roller was only good for 3 / 4 mines. Would be great if they had drones carrying equipment which could detect explosive's and could map the locations of mines. Metal detectors, which were and are still used in mine detection, can only function in mines that have metal in them, but there are mines now that can carry a 12 kg explosive charge but only use a few grams of metal. So you have one side taking a step or move, and the other countering it.
