All I can tell you is that the "Volga Germans" do not rank super high on anyone's mind. I'm sure they caused a ruckus in the small towns where they were resettled. Many visits ago, the soccer field I grew up playing on was razed and they built some new houses. This was a stone's throw from my uncle's house. I asked him WTF and he said "Russlanddeutsche". But that was about the only time I heard about it. The other time is when he needed extensive dental work work and was bitching about how much it cost while their new neighbors waltzed in and got everything for free. |

Russian Special Forces join with motorized rifleman group
 Russian Special Forces join with motorized rifleman group During the offensive on the Liman, one of the units of the Russian Army was attacked from the abandoned houses of the village, a combined group of special forces and motorized riflemen arrived to help them, opening fire on the Armed Forces of Ukraine with RPGs, BTR-82A guns and assault rifles. During the battle, Ukrainian firing points were suppressed, and the help that arrived went to replenish ammunition. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By walkinginadangerzone: I haven't been seeing any cope cages on tanks lately, I wonder if they finally just got rid of them. Well, they certainly weren't protecting the tanks, and I suspect a lot of them are no longer on the battlefield to be seen. And I assume as we are no longer seeing them on anything, they have perhaps given up on the idea of them. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: The problem is that any armor that isn’t top-of-the-line is just meat-on-the-table. And even the latest M1 is vulnerable to any infantryman within 5KM. Or to an artillery piece 30KM away. So to protect that armor you need a big and well-equipped infantry screen, air dominance now to include small drones/anti-drones, EW dominance, and so on. And who screens the infantry screen IFVs from enemy ATGMs? Drones? I’m not saying that it’s impossible, however the cost and complexity to make classic tanks work going forward may be prohibitive for anyone who is not the US. I think the future “armored” vehicle looks like a cross between an IFV and and a SPAAG. Right now, I think you can make a good case for infiltration tactics and defense in depth using only mobile infantry plus air defense/anti-drone assets. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: Originally Posted By Ryan_Scott: Originally Posted By Capta: The different is that a carrier group can project power for hundreds of miles. Armor does not outrange ATGM infantry and with its increasing vulnerability I think it’s a fair question to ask whether it is a good use of resources. Breaking through enemy lines is expensive. You’re not going to do it nearly as well with other weapons. The problem is that any armor that isn’t top-of-the-line is just meat-on-the-table.

Right now, I think you can make a good case for infiltration tactics and defense in depth using only mobile infantry plus air defense/anti-drone assets. I think Unmanned Ground Vehicles with 70mm Laser Guided Rockets (APKWS) is a viable tank replacement. Going to rockets removes the need for a Big Gun and its associated weight, and APKWS gives a 13lb Warhead with 5km+ range. 70mm rockets mean small Jeep sized robot vehicles can pack 14-25 shots, allowing for a very potent fire support / anti structure vehicle in a small, cheap, easily transportable package: _sr.jpg) Small drones with thermals and laser designators can fly forward of the vehicle, ID threats, and then laze them for APKWS. If it gets destroyed, its a cheap, unmanned robot golf cart, so who gives a shit. The result is armor needs are minimal - just protection from small arms. |

The new headline
Putin twists the truth as he declares Russia is now fighting for its survival during Victory Day parade featuring Ukraine invasion 'Z' symbols - while Doomsday jet flyover is mysteriously axed Vladimir Putin gave a chest-beating speech to his troops during Moscow's Victory Day parade today - telling soldiers that they are now fighting for the security of the nation against what he called Western plans to invade. Seeking to re-frame his war in Ukraine as a war between Russia and the West, he declared NATO to be the aggressor and said he is trying to deescalate the situation with a 'special military operation' which he declared to be 'the only right decision' against a 'neo-Nazi' regime in Kyiv. He also sought to twist the truth of what is happening on the ground in Ukraine, hailing a day of 'great victory' despite Russia's battlefield defeats and telling his men they are fighting a just war despite plentiful evidence of war crimes in occupied territories.  But he stopped short of what many had feared: An official declaration of war on Kyiv which would have allowed him to mobilise Russia's military reserves and conscript civilians in order to escalate fighting across the border. And a planned flyover by military jets including his 'Doomsday jet' - which would allow him to continue ruling Russia in the event of a nuclear blast - was also axed at the last minute which state media said was due to bad weather, but which rumours suggested could be due to fears of attacks. The vehicle parade is also downsized from previous years, featuring almost a third fewer than in 2020 because Russia has committed - and lost - so many of its ground forces in Ukraine. Putin's speech came after a parade through the streets of Vladivostok that featured tanks streaming Soviet banners and 'Z' symbols emblazoned on the site of motorbikes in the orange and black colours of the Saint George's ribbon, the highest decoration of Imperial Russia.     Goose-stepping soldiers followed close behind, rifles held across their chests which were emblazoned with a ribbon in the same Saint George's colours. A Soviet-era motorbike and sidecar joined them, a 'Z' symbol - which has become synonymous with Russia's war in Ukraine - stuck on the side in the same black and organ livery. The parade in Vladivostok - which is seven hours ahead of Moscow time - took place ahead of the main parade which will process through Red Square later today. Vladimir Putin is due to oversee it, and is expected to give a speech hailing Russia's military might and drumming up support for the war in Ukraine. But after the failure of Russia's generals to seize Kyiv and with their offensive in Donbas largely at a standstill, there will be little for Putin to cheer. That has led to speculation - denied by the Kremlin - that Putin will instead use the speech to announce a further escalation in the fighting. Putin could use his speech to officially declare war on Ukraine instead of the 'special military operation' he is currently waging, allowing him to call up Russia's military reserves and perhaps conscript more men into the army in the hopes of turning the tide of war in his favour. President Zelensky has warned his nation to be on high alert for missiles strikes across the country today, suspecting that Russia will try to dampen any displays of defiance using withering rocket and artillery fire. All of which comes against a back-drop of increased nuclear threats from the Kremlin and Russian state media, adding to the lingering fear that a desperate and detached Putin could order an atomic strike either on Ukraine or its allies in order to achieve victory by shock and awe.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Zhukov: https://archive.ph/iws25#selection-373.54-373.229 Article from the German news magazine Cicero which I like quite a bit because it's much more balanced than so others. Here's the tl;dr version:
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... Makes me wonder if it is time to close the embassy. I'm not sure how big a deal that is, but if that article is accurate, Germany could have a big problem brewing and it is being directed by an enemy. This gets back to the free speech debate we were having here a week or two ago. Things are never quite as simple as "one man, one opinion". I will always come down on the side of more free speech is better than less. But in a situation like this, my opinions become less clear. Maybe publicizing the organizers ties to Russia will be enough to wake some of the followers up. |
