Everyone does a little and it goes a long way. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AlmightyTallest: Some intrepid Ukrainian ATGM team made their own remote station like the Stugna uses but adapting it to what looks like a Kornet ATGM system.
This shows the sighting system, including a thermal rifle sight imager adapted to the setup.
The trick here is to make a sight mod kit for the other system tripods and make the PDU-215 multi-system capable. AT, see what Joe down the hall has on his plate for next week. He should be able to mock something up fairly quickly. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AROKIE: The main point is not really the ship cruising the seas, Its what the ship is bringing along with it. The Zircon missle, which no one has a way of stopping. So its a new threat travelling around the oceans while our carriers are also out there. They were made to kill carriers..100 percent chance we have a sub tailing every where it goes. that is why I highlighted the seas they said its going to. Its the same seas we have carriers I thought they had a mishap with one of those fancy missiles a few years back.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: RU TG #Feedback damn, about the Dnieper. Well, it’s completely for the dumb ones, it might come in. Well, it’s clear that ours got screwed over. It’s just hard and not profitable to admit. but the entire population of the Dnieper definitely hates us. have a couple of friends. and this can be said to be a Russian-speaking city. some fucking victories https://t.me/mototroopers_205/858 #Feedback in the Dnieper 60 wounded, among them 12 children. Propaganda says that children became hostages of the Kyiv regime... And we get kneading hostages? Well, ok, okay, not the first time. Nord-Ost, Beslan, then and there ... Krasovsky, Mardan, - to drown children, ... Oh well Dad, what did you do in the war, kill children? No, I killed fascists. OK. Logically. Instead of troops, we continue to beat civil infrastructure ™ all the same to no avail. Do you know that this is similar to treason when enemy troops are not subjected to such massive strikes, and thousands of missiles are spent because they have no effect on the army? Moreover, it embitters the entire population, increasing the percentage of volunteers, motivates to fight, justifies the mobilization of everyone, including women ... I have a 100% feeling that this was invented by a traitor to Russia, who is trying to increase the potential of the enemy, sparing his army as much as possible, and compromising the main motive for liberation, making aggressors out of us, giving a powerful incentive to the propaganda of the enemy, giving arguments for sanctions ... .. no, it didn’t seem. It's exactly like that. And this is what a traitor to Russia and a traitor to the Motherland does. Maliciously. https://t.me/mototroopers_205/859 #Feedback No matter how much you dig or take villages, towns and cities (if after taking them you can call them stupid territories), there is no final meaning! Khokhlov will not be allowed to lose, regardless of the losses, they will be fed exactly until the moment when our potential is exhausted, as it was before mobilization, and so on in a circle!? They will be given everything they consider necessary, as was the case with the Hamers, then the patriot, etc., the sissy were crushed, crushed and given, and then they would give tanks and aircraft, etc. The question arises, how long will this continue, how much more should be put to the people, and from both sides? For the Nazis, etc. an already damaged record, there in the trenches there are the same mobiles as ours, who also didn’t really want to fight the campaign ... only they are at home, this is about motivation. In short, this is all sad, and somehow it’s not good to lose, and they won’t let you win, life is stupidly nowhere ... https://t.me/mototroopers_205/870 Hmmm, some Russians starting to ask the right questions. |

Swedes and Finns were hot and ready to join NATO early in the war when they thought they might be next. Now that they see Russia is incompetent and losing, the threat isn't as bad, so they no longer want in. I think you have somehow completely misinterpreted the headline. The point was that Finland and Sweden were planning to join together. Now that Turkey is playing fuck-fuck games with their vote over Sweden’s domestic politics, Finland is thinking about joining NATO without (at this time) Sweden. https://apnews.com/article/nato-politics-pekka-haavisto-recep-tayyip-erdogan-turkey-f12ab9a7076ada5e604aea70a07dbf71 |

Of course, but the libtards will get hysterical about it too. Both groups would shit themselves if we and the Russians were playing the games we used to play during the Cold War, like playing chicken with destroyers and SSNs sneaking up on other SSNs and blasting them with active sonar, and so on and so on. |

Cutting St. Petersburg off from the Baltic is a ballsy move. I would bet Estonia will cave to NATO/EU pressure unfortunately. Denmark and Sweden alone could close the Baltic completely couldn’t they? There are only two ways out, no? It would be very easy to cut off Öresund completely from either side. It's not wide, nor is it very deep, so freighters have a very narrow path. It's barely deep enough for an SSK to traverse it while submerged. |

I know the A10 Warthogs used 30mm, DU ammo during the Afghan War...but use it in the farm fields of Ukraine? Imho --- not a good thing. Though I'm curious to find out whether the Russians' are using DU ammo and armor in Ukraine. |
