Just like other Russian military doctrine, they do things the hard way, and without any real thought.

And if they are hungry, poorly equipped, poorly trained, and poorly commanded, they will act as barbarians worse than what we saw in the north. It’s going to be an orgy of war crimes and human suffering.

As someone else posted they have been working on this since at least 2017. It took decades, and multiple conflicts, to work out the best balance of armor/gun/size & weight of today's MBT's. The "Brain Trust" is still working on the formula/recipe for the next generation of tanks. Barring any major breakthrough in materials science, and given the current battlefield environment, active defenses are going to be very important, three feet of armor less so.


AD won’t stop kinetic energy APDS DU or TC munitions impacting your turret or hull at around 5,000 fps.  

Currently, the only thing that I can think of off the top of my head that will defeat an M1A2 SEP is top attack HEAT warheads or AT mines, and AT mines are a minimal problem.  Eliminate or neutralize the top attack threat, and suddenly the “tanks are obsolete” crowd will again join the ranks of those that erroneously predicted the end of armor in the past.  

I can easily see heavily armed unmanned ground vehicles with engagement criteria powered by AI “replacing” crewed tanks as AI becomes more practical, but the need for a highly mobile platform that can take the hits, survive,  and continue the mission in support of the infantry will always be needed.


Whether they get there or not, the intent are systems that will break long rod penetrators and EFP


That’s a tall order, but In DARPA I Trust.

  • The pro-Russian demonstrations are apparently directly led out of the Russian consulate.
  • Intercepted radio messages shows that orders were sent to the demonstrators to stop the car parades so that they wouldn't be forbidden before May 9th rolls around. Recall that they stopped those literally overnight; now we know why.
  • Demonstrators have been forbidden to speak to the press; the press should only be talking to the Russian-German organizers approved by the consulate.
  • An officer in the Bundeswehr of Russian heritage purportedly said that 40,000 of the 180,000 soldiers harbor pro-Russian senitments and "speak Russian with a German accent".
  • There's supposedly 50,000 law enforcement officers that feel the same way.
  • All demonstration requests have come from German citizens, not anyone associated with the consulate. They're usually the same person though so you can draw your own conclusions...

It's not terribly surprising that the Russians are directly behind a lot of this, but this is pretty much the proof of it. Expect some shenanigans tomorrow morning when you wake up and read the news. Monday is going to be interesting...

Full vid of the MLRS strike.

Also, it was unlikely a nuclear sub. The Black Seas Fleet submarine force consists of several Kilo class SSKs and a few modified patrol boats, a frigate, and a cruiser.

You don't need SSNs in the Black Sea. I'm not saying it is impossible for an SSN to transit the Dardanelles submerged, but it would be incredibly risky for the ship in terms of collision and detection: and the Turks would be furious.

Before the war and based on the info comming out I was pretty sure at the time Putin was going for a small land grab. When it was clear he was going for the whole country I would have predicted we would be wel in to a long insurgency by now.

I'm pretty amazed Ukraine is motivated as fuck and still fully in the war, I am also amazed how much Russia totally sucks and that they are competing with Arab armies for the bottom shit ranking.

I wil say my peace to just say fuck any defeatists and tacit Putin supporters. Whatever the outcome Ukrainian resistance against a hugely more powerful evil foe wil go down in hisorty along with the Spartans, Masada and the Alemo.  

I hope the Russian people wake up soon and do the needful in their country OR be killed following a old turd's glory fantasies.

I dont see Russia seizing Ukraine entirely but they’re well beyond the area they claimed to be rescuing. Which betrays their reasoning for waging war according to themselves. I don’t think Russia is performing at the level you describe but they aren’t dominating whether it’s air, ground, etc. either. At this point they’re just trying to push a couple yards a day in the east and south while. Chechens celebrate that with dumb tik tok videos. Since this war won’t be ending soon. Ukraine needs to conserve their forces and think long term, assuming European public won’t lose enthusiasm come 2023,2024 and so on as the war drags on. Russia conversely has to somehow keep its public from burnout after loses become clear, their economy stumbles and quick victory speeches are far away in the rear view mirror. Moscow may or may not {so far they are not} utilize lessons learned and reinvigorate their forces next year or someday. This war will drag on and likely encapsulate Moldova in a couple years time. I’d caution against anyone expecting Ukraine to roll Russians back to pre February areas of control. I’d caution the Russian side at any notions of replacing the Ukrainian government. At this point it’s down to will power and if Ukraine receives enough arty/armor and if they employ that well should they {it’s not looking like it so far} receive that from NATO/EU. You’ve got Hungary, Germany and Italy barely making efforts to stem Russian energy buying. Austria and Switzerland aren’t in either.

I can't speak for the thread creator but maybe we need a new poll? Something along the lines of:

What's Putin going to announce during his parade?
  • Declaration of war & full mobilization
  • Nuke detonation as threat demonstration
  • More empty rhetoric
  • His retirement
