Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By elcope: Indirect fire requires re-supply which is stuck in the 40 mi convoy, and missile inventory should be getting to about black right now, with no discernable means of manufacture in Russia due to sanctions and waging war one of your critical component suppliers. You got me Chief, not my theater but IMO a lot of this reporting is mistranslated intentionally. I'm kinda speechless at their performance so far since nothing they've done makes sense with the information available. |

Those styrofoam FQM-117Bs have about 15 minutes on glow fuel, 25 minutes if you use batteries and an electric motor. I like them because they're easy to mount payloads in. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HIMARS13A: What's the talk around the water cooler about this? I'm blown away at how they've broken down. As someone who has served continuously since the Cold War (1985) and the Russians are going to break through the Fulda Gap OMG, I'm disappointed in their performance. I'm also pleasantly surprised at how well the premise of "let's dump shit-tons of easy-to-use ATGM's and MANPADS" doctrine is working out for the Ukrainians. Who knew that arming the fuck out of motivated people works? Do I think the Soviets of the 1980's would have performed better than now, probably, but there were also a shit-ton more of them too. Same as us. For days now, I've been told "to wait for their tier one units". I posit that this is their tier one units. This is as good as they get on the large scale. As a logistician, watching that 40 mile stalled convoy flounder is both professionally infuriating, (how could they do that to their own troops) as well as (C'mon Ukrainians, fuck that thing up) and hilariously amusing. They've turned their own logistics convoy into the Ukrainians largest POW camp through their own inaction / inability to move. Day 8 into a 3 day move??? The first half of that convoy is out of fuel and the batteries are dead. The morale in that convoy must be absolute shit. Half those trucks will still be there 3 months from now even if no one is shooting at the maintenance recovery teams, or the Ukrainian version of rednecks don't steal them. I look forward to the videos. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By trapsh00ter99: We are watching Ukrainian news broadcast (Ukrainian language only) and they just showed the graphic of all the Russian losses. The female news anchor said something and my wife started laughing, I asked what did she say? She said, "I hope it will be more" lol Based |
