Russia installs a device to destroy Ukrainian missiles. So Ukraine destroys it with a missile.

Great aerospace porn of current, practical developments in US hypersonic reusable drone aircraft. Due to the highly erotic nature of the subject matter you may want to view in some privacy. Focusing on using proven engines in a combined ramjet configuration to achieve maneuverability at Mach 5-6, rather than outlandishly expensive R&D to tame scramjets for Mach 10+ aircraft.
Could HERMEUS turn the hypersonic arms race on its head?

Lt General Ben Hodges doesn't think Ukraine is going to target the Kerch bridge. Makes a fair argument that the Ukrainians would want to keep it open so the Russian troops and civilians can evacuate on it after the land bridge and ship supplies to Crimea are cut off.

I wonder how many Russians civilians who moved to Crimea after 2014 are still evacuating?  IMO it makes sense to let as many of them leave as they can.

They should at least knock down the rail portion of the bridge. They are on separate piers so should be able to disable the rail without destroying the highway lanes.

Perhaps after cutting the land bridge give fair warning that in one month the Kerch rail bridge is on the target deck.

Dumb Civilian's answer: I think it's because the top armor of most tanks is significantly thinner than the front and side armor, at least on WWII-era tanks. Artillery also fires larger rounds compared to tank guns, and I think large-enough-caliber HE actually penetrates armor somewhat just because of how much "boom" happens.

"Cotton" is a byproduct of robotranslation.

The Russians have(or had) a habit of using certain words to affect people's perception of certain events. Instead of saying detonation or explosion they'd say clap(as in thunderclap, not the STD) with smoke. In Russian language, clap and cotton are written identically but pronounced differently. A robotranslator would often translate clap as cotton, so it became common among Ukrainians to say jokingly,for example, there was a big cotton yesterday in Donetsk.

It’s really unfortunate for Hungary.  Orban had the chance to parlay the situation into some major policy wins for Hungary, but instead he’s just being an obstructionist.
The only way this will change is if Europe finds the goods on him.  He will otherwise never have a change of heart.

I don't know if blowing the kerch bridge open is a good idea or not, but keeping Russian assets tied up there guarding it is a good plan. And I think that there is a high probability that leaving it open will lead to internal conflicts between those that want to leave and those charged with not letting them go when things finally kick off.

I've been saying this for years...  open up the troop compartment on a surplus M113 and vertically mount however many Javelins as you can there (12?  16?).  Kind of like the Vertical Launch System (VLS) on warships.  Have a separate aiming unit (wireless if possible but if not then on a long cable) that can be dismounted from the M113 so that whomever is aiming and launching can do so from cover / concealment while the vehicle sits hull down or behind a building.

It's been a rough couple days watching TG channels and seeing stories like this. Kids blown up on the way to shelters, kids killed by falling debris or butterfly bombs. Kids screaming down the streets of Kiev.

Yeah I know alot of it is propaganda, but even if only a percent of it is true...

Just fuck. I'm an anarchist. I hate war. And government. I work diligently to try and find an objective truth to situations or at least attempt to get a broad view of things before forming and opinion. And sometimes I just don't have the data to develop one and just sort of default to not caring or only bothering to care when I am put in a position to have to.


But fuck.

Fuck putin. And fuck anyone who has the exact same ability to find information as I do yet is either passive or for his actions. Anything less than a slow, wasting death is to good for anyone who supports this invasion.

This is why some people think tanks are obsolete. Artillery has a longer range, fires over hills, and can now be guided accurately by drones.

That said infantry who encounter a tank that starts firing those big rounds at the building they were using for cover may not feel like tanks are all that obsolete

What about a self-propelled howitzer firing at that same building? Thats what I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around. With the advances to 155 mm munitions, and how effective they seem to be, plus the prevalence of small anti armor missile, I'm wondering what the ultimate effect would be if you took something M109 and had it bang an M1. Keep sensors and data links, armor, but a 155 mm turret


The problem is that an M109 turret has relatively thin aluminum alloy armor.  There is also a huge difference between 155mm Artillery Ammo and 120mm Tank ammo, as in the Arty ammo comes with the projectile, fuse, charge, and primer separate and they have to be loaded in stages during every mission.  Plus, the 155mm projectile alone weighs more than a complete 120mm tank round.  Even with the rounds pre-fused, it takes at least twice as long (and usually a lot longer) to load and fire a 155mm of any type than a tank round. Though you CAN do direct fire with an M109, it is generally not advisable; sort of like conducting a close combat engagement with a bolt-action .338 Lapua sniper rifle and a 4x scope.

They are just HE but might be 24 pounds, or close to 30 pounds TNT equivalent, in a case that gives off fragments weighing pounds, at thousands of feet per second. They aren’t a tank round replacement since you need to be able to use direct fire.
