This is why we saw a story recently about US observers being inside Ukraine to account for weapons.  Both sides want to be ready with an insurance policy to head off the fools who voluntarily buy Russian propaganda.
I sent an email to my US representative’s office to ask for his position on the matter because it isn’t clear from easily accessible public statements.

The problem is contrarianism.

If everyone in GD knows that Joe Biden pissed standing up (even if down his leg) they’d all sit to pee from here on out.

Alot of the chinese thermals seen in this war have video out or bluetooth. I know it would work, but wonder why we haven't seen them mounted to motorized pan/tilt heads on a tripod so you can view your thermal from a larger screen and from the "safety" of trench or cover.

This pan/tilt mount is $170. Screen is $120

Probably never going to happen.

Reapers can carry 500 pound bombs, HARMS weigh 800 pounds and require an adapter to attach them to a bomb rack.

Looks like a Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) cap badge on the beret, to me.

EDIT: to be more specific 3rd Battalion PPCLI (3VP), Jump Company, as passed to me by an ex-PPCLI buddy.

Okay, I'll be that guy.  This patch is sketchy.


The patch is the original shape of the 1st Special Service Force.  It was a combined US and Canadian unit led by BG Robert Frederick.

Fredrick was a total badass, awarded two DSCs and eight purple hearts.  The 1st SSF was a combat unit, and the patch was that shape, red, and had USA and CANADA in it.  The movie "Devil's Brigade" was about them.



Taking that patch and making it a combined Ukraine/Canada unit is cool if it was a combined combat unit, but if that is an instructor in the UK and he is training Ukrainians...they are going to combat, and he isn't, then this is kinda sketchy.

Okay, off my soapbox.

If anything blows up inside one of those heavy cement boxes the contained blast is going to make things messy.

My guess was that either 1) it was small arms fire from a range such that it’d gone subsonic or 2)We don’t hear impact explosions, so it can’t be incoming mortars (to their position) but I suppose it could be mortars passing overhead and landing quite a ways away.

Any 20mm or bigger will shred those in an instant. Even a .50 APIT would probably bore its way through with a small burst.

A ZSU-23-4 would be perfect for sweeping those clear.

Thank you I didn't give much thought to weight as I thought they were not that heavy.
