Beatings will continue until morale improves
In case anyone has doubts about Russian barbarism despite supporting evidence after all these years
For anyone who missed it - The Death of Stalin 9:00 RTE2 tonight.
If true it also throws a deeply unflattering light on just how incapable North Korea itself might be were the shooting started. I've no idea how reunification polls in the South but if the North can't even manufacture outdated Soviet material you'd speculate just how much of a paper tiger Pyongyang truly is. I don't think there's any risk or anything but you'd wonder if South Korean hawks are suddenly a degree more boisterous.
That's over 2 miles. 1609.34 meters = 1 mile.
something off about this claim. Was he on target the first shot or did he need a few shots to compensate? surely the russians would hear bullets zip near them as he gets closer. If it's a hole in one well then 1 in a billion shot. saw a diagram saying the bullet would have had to gain 200 meters up at the apex of trajectory to hit at that distance.
He might have been shooting at the two blokes on the left, missed, and got lucky.
No need to convert to imperial
Help those of us that think distance in miles etc.
Watching the death of Stalin at the moment. Showed the rounding up of the doubles and an officer saying 'your contract has ended'. Wonder how much would be the same when Putin goes?
They’ll get a new contract… in Donbass
Its got to be a pretty high risk career ,
Youre sent to the places that its too risky for Putin to go +And you're trotted out if he's sick, ( but thats the perfect time for those who know to bump you off ,because of the instability that would create ,coupled with lower security for just a double )
If Putin dies , theres going to be a scramble to control the doubles ,so as soon as a new regieme is secure with its surviving double , the double retires to a farm in the country- bang
If putin decides to slink off to south America or switzerland with his billions a new ID and a new face , the doubles are disposed of ..
I dont see a peaceful retirement as a likely outcome , maybe if as they age they dont look anything like him -getting bit late for that now
The claim yesterday was 3 miles which it would take about 15+ seconds from the bullet to hit it's target, I'm highly doubtful of that claim
Try timing it on the video that was posted.
Edit; it seems to take about 25 seconds...
The next level
I was assuming that mobile signal repeaters would be used , never thought that the fpv drones would be air dropped by drone further behind the lines ,
I suppose the bigger the "mother ship" gets the more likely it is to get hit by anti-aircraft missiles , so theres a natural deterent to getting too big , too visable ,
But if the long range surveillance is very good , and you've near air supremecy in drones , you can take out slow moving threats as they enter the battlefield , -helicopters not so much ,
Take out the at least 4 seconds of a pause and slowmo it's no where near 25 seconds
That's quite the signature you have there. I didn't realise boards allowed blatant bigotry.
for those that have signatures switched off:
If I was hiring/ using a sniper I would be very, very happy if he , she was substantially accurate up to 500 metres anything over that would be a bonus. I would’nt be getting into the somantics of it re velocity, travel time of bullet, Alex of trajectory, etc. That’s only me
I'd be doubtful of the claim, due to the equipment used. Any of the previous record shots required a spotter to walk the rounds onto target. At that distance, you can't see trace and spotting impact splashes would be very difficult if not using HE rounds. In addition, due to the mil hold required, using a prism is pretty much a necessity. These are attachments which are placed in front of a scope, that mechanically add a fixed number of mils ( typically ( 40 or 60).
You clearly haven't read through this thread so. TLDR; it depends who you're bigoted against.
I hate everyone equally....
Nice 👌
Fart in the wind unfortunately.
Rivers are running red in Russia due to unknown reasons.
It's either divine intervention from another world or someone is actively dying rivers in Russia red.
Russia is bleeding..
It's probably the blood from all the bodies that Stalin had buried, finally seeping out after a thaw in the north.
At a guess Gatling got too passionate supporting the desert orcs in the hamas/israeli war crimes thread and picked up a thread ban , hence the sig
strangely hypnotic
bridgeheads are growing and Russians withdrawals as goodwill gestures
The goodwill gesture was shelling their own troops. The subsequent withdrawal was a mere digestif
