Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Charging_Handle: Where are the 200-300 M60 tanks supposed to be coming from? While not the most well protected or armed, they are still pretty decent tanks. I'd much rather be in an M60A3 than most of the Russian tanks, especially the POS T-62s they've been dragging out of storage lately. Any that survive the war could then be modified to the Israeli Sabra standard (or the Leonardo package) and continue serving in the reserves into the future. Any armored vehicle on tracks or wheels that can be armed with a 20mm cannon all the way up to a 120mm main gun can be used in Ukraine right now. Hopefully even more usable M60s can be located and sourced from other places. I would guess they are Egyptian, Egypt supposed has 800 A3's in storage and they have a license to build Abrams locally. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By iggy1337: France Uncovers Major Russian Disinformation Operation. I remember GD posting weird sites the the New Zeeland Daily Telegraph that had fuck all to do with the actual Daily Telegraph. In short when GD posts 'evidence' it's wise to check via the real cited source. "This campaign is based in particular on the creation of fake web pages impersonating national media and government sites as well as the creation of false accounts on social networks" "France condemns these actions unworthy of a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council," Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said." https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20230613-france-says-uncovers-major-disinformation-campaign-waged-by-russia Some of us were smart enough to call it a while ago but good to see it in print. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By m24shooter: When I was a cadet we had an NG tank battalion that was close and they used M60A3s (49AD was M60A3 TTS at that time, still had M113s, but M1s and Brads were on the near horizon in the late 80s/early 90s). It was awesome to be able to go to their drills, and being close to Ft Hood we got to see those along with M1A1s. The Abrams were nice, but those A3 TTS were just killer, at least to me. Personally I am going to enjoy seeing those come out of storage and hopefully be put to good use. Really interesting to see these Cold War tanks line up after all these years. Might get to see if MBT and Team Yankee got their stats and charts right after all. I found a 105mm bore sight kit in one of the 49AD Storage lockers. It was very old |

Recent Perun video. Tons of info on long range fires, specifically USArmy, but covers history, why we don’t have them and what is coming. Touches on Air Force relationship and concerns as well as comparison with Marine plans. The big question is What quantities will be produced? A few hundred super expensive models or a mix of thousands of cheaper models along with super amazing and expensive models?

Yeah. I suspect Lukashenko “exaggerating “ his authority. He is an idiot either way: if he has it bragging on SM about it is not diplomacy or effective military threat. If he doesn’t have it he is just hot air. I get the sense he like the kid whose dad parked the caddy in the garage for the week out of town and Lukashenko is bragging how it is his. Putin is likely trying to set him up as the fall guy for any use of tac nukes. He is a dead man and don’t know it yet.

Damn that’d have been amazing. Who knows? That may still happen. I think UA is going to keep letting RuAF coalesce in the south and then maybe attack in the north along the border area in support of RDK/Legion to really mess with Russian logistics and at the point of most chaos, use their current footholds to drive hard in the south for the Azov Sea. |

Fun video of Garand Thumb and crew testing drones against infantry using info from Ukraine. Test drone is a Mavic 2 with baby powder grenade. Some realistic Rooskie trench panic and pants shitting included for free. Some of his recent vids are just too goofy for me to watch but this was a good blend of lighthearted fun with serious testing.

I don't even think Ukraine knows how this will play out. They are clearly making moves to pressure Russia at points of political (Bakhmut) or strategic (Mariupol corridor) vulnerability. They're pushing Russia and hoping the Russians fuck up somewhere in their response; an improperly withdrawn unit here, green units spread too thin somewhere else, etc. Where that fuckup occurs determines where the primary blow falls. |

Man oh man, very late to the party but glad someone in that sphere actually thought about what they are reading. His obvious does it have to be? The Ukraine govt prosecutor was going after Burisma and Hunter. Burisma paid Bidens to force out the prosecutor (FJoe’s infamous $1 Billion video brag). Now FJoe is foot dragging Ukraine aid. I hope Bongino is doing massive mea culpas and starts using his “discovery” to expose Tucker and many other’s false claims. |
