Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PurpleOtter: Originally Posted By Third_Rail: Originally Posted By rgkeller: We know now that Russia has pretty much nothing to respond with. Except nukes If they work. I'm really wondering now. Well, their latest submarine launched ones have a pretty high failure rate in testing, and the SS-18's are well past their warranty dates so...  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSM-56_Bulava The missile's flight test programme was problematic. Until 2009, there were 6 failures in 13 flight tests and one failure during ground test, blamed mostly on substandard components. The missile did however continue to fail in the summer of 2013 and was not operational as of November 2013.[26] The Bulava became operational aboard Yury Dolgorukiy as of October 2015.[27] However, recent developments put this in question. In November 2015, the submarine Vladimir Monomakh fired two missiles while submerged. One of the missiles self-destructed during the boost phase and the other failed to deliver its warheads to the specified target. After being sent back to the manufacturer, it was determined that the missiles failed due to manufacturing defects.[28] Chief designer Solomonov blamed the failures on the poor state of the Russian defense industry and problems in the design-technology-production chain. "Sometimes [the problem] is poor-quality materials, sometimes it is the lack of necessary equipment to exclude the 'human' factor in production, sometimes it is inefficient quality control" According to Solomonov, the industry is unable to manufacture 50 of the necessary components for the missile, forcing designers to improvise and look for alternative solutions, which seriously complicates the testing process. Solomonov further said that despite the failures, there was no need for changes in the design.[29] Sergei Kovalyov, the designer of three generations of Russian strategic submarines said that due to lack of funding, the developers had been unable to conduct test launches from a floating pad to test the underwater segment of the missile's trajectory. He also said that there were insufficient funds to conduct ground-based test launches. Both types of testing had been standard procedure during Soviet times. Kovalyov also criticised the poor quality of missile components provided by a large number of sub-contractors and the absence of military representatives at manufacturing plants.[30] I see a pattern. |

Damn, is that why they said the average life expectancy of a TOW gunner in the Fulda Gap was estimated to be about 15 seconds in a WW3 scenario? To be fair, the life expectancy of the Fulda Gap itself was also 15 seconds... Troops in the Fulda Gap were only to be a speed bump while NATO decided if Nukes were to rain. Oh I know...

If Biden wasn't half dead with an IQ a couple of points higher than a half gallon of ice cream, he would have told Putin under no circumstances his military would be allowed to advance on nuclear power plants.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 6SJ7GT: There seems to be no real option but to fight. Russia has openly talked about "Cleansing" the Ukrainian population. The older Ukrainians are very aware of what that means and from some past posts here it looks like the older Ukrainians are the ones most willing to fight. Agreed. My point is they shouldn’t be fighting alone. They are not the only ones on Putin’s list. Offering half measures of support isn’t best for Ukrainians. It prolongs the war and forces Putin to escalate, wasting lives. It may serve the interests of those offering limited support in that prolonging also depletes Russia’s assets. That certainly isn’t a noble reason to offer support. |

The only reason I can think of is that it isn't an immediate threat, and that thier air resources are over areas in the south or NE. IDK. It's probably heavily defended with mobile S-400 and AA. Ukraine probably has limited capability and inventory in their AF left, and see it as bait to lose the rest of it. They really need those planes in Poland. If Biden wasn't half dead with an IQ a couple of points higher than a half gallon of ice cream, he would have told Putin under no circumstances his military would be allowed to advance on nuclear power plants. He failed to do that, or anything remotely close to that. So too did NATO and EU. ATACMS... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cypher15: Captured and destroyed upgraded T-80s and upgraded 72s say otherwise. A large majority of their forces are committed which does not leave any room for your theory. There are many pics of old T-72s out there, and they start sending more of the old shit right now. Not days ago. Why should they send a T-90 when a T-72 from 1985 can do the same job? |
