Looks like it.


I wouldn’t doubt fools here stating an attack on US military personal was “our own fault for being there/pushing them to it”.

There were several members here who argued as much when Iran attacked US forces in Syria with loitering munitions a while back.

Isn’t it amazing that when US interests and Russian interests are in conflict, the US is always in the wrong for a certain group of posters?

In 1990, the Bundeswehr had a half-million men. Now they can't even arm 40% of that number?

It's just like the tanks & armor. European nations have between 10 and 50% of the equipment they had in the early 90s. It's absolutely crazy how much they disarmed.

So where is Ukraine getting freaking Lewis guns?  I can't imagine that there's some dusty warehouse in the West with literal WWI surplus still lying around.  Are they WWII Lend/Lease that the Soviets put into their own dusty warehouse in Ukraine after the war?  Is anyone still making .303 British to speak of, or are they using decades-old ammo too?

Probably a local museum.  Some Lewis guns were made in 7.62x54r, and if it’s from a museum or a deep armory stash it’s quite possible it can shoot current 7.62x54.  A couple of blurbs I found on the subject:

-The Russian Empire purchased 10,000 Lewis guns in 1917 from the British government, and ordered another 10,000 weapons from Savage Arms in the US.

-This Lewis gun is in 7.62x54R Russian. The Tzar ordered Lewis guns but the order was stopped by the Russian revolution. It is thought that only 800 guns in 7.62 x54R were actually manufactured. Most of those were delivered to Russia. There are photos of them in use during the Russian civil war post revolution. It is thought that there are only two or three registered in the US. The top of the frame is marked Russia and the magazine is marked with the Tzar’s cypher. .303 drums will not work. The magazines are extremely rare. We just obtained this magazine in mint condition to complete the gun. Apparently the Russian ordered the aircraft drums for the ground guns because they wanted the larger capacity. Thanks to @canadianfirearmsmuseum for finding the drum magazine. Here is another unknown and almost never seen piece of history preserved in the MAG reference collection. I hope you learned something new. #Lewisgun #7.62x54R

-This might be of interest to Lewis gunners. Although over the years I've reactivated at least twenty-five Lewis gun, none have been in 54R, until last winter when one came in that turned out to be in that caliber. The owner did not know that it was 54R, and once work got underway to remove the weld in the chamber, there was evidence that the breech of the chamber was larger than .303. Once the weld was mostly cleared and the chamber visible, it was evident that the chamber was 54R. There were no markings on the barrel except for a number "28", which was also stamped on the top flat area of the rear of the shroud. The receiver was a standard, factory 1914 Lewis, and was not one of the production contract guns for Russia that are marked as such with some parts specially marked as belonging to the Russian guns. It was not one of the "A" prefix Lewis guns that are the most ommon in the US. It remains a mystery about when and hwo did the conversion. The barrel looks factory in all ways.
Fortunately I have several 54R drums form the Lewis guns that were supplied to Russia and once the chamber was restored the gun ran perfectly and totally reliably. The mods to the receiver involve: widening the feed rails and forward edges of the feedway; slightly enlarging the ejection port to allow the rim of the 54R to pass through; the bolt face is opened up slightly for the rim and the extractors are relieved at the claw slightly to accomodate the wider rim width; the tab in the inside center of the feedarm is slightly modified to fit the wider OD of the 54R case.
The 54R is the perfect round for the Lewis, IMO. Of course, the conversion to the receiver to fit the 54T round then alters the feedway sufficiently so that .303 will no longer feed correctly, which too bad. The 54R mods to the feed edges could be reversed to return the gun to .303 of course. The main impediment to conversion is that 54R Russian drums are very scarce. However, I've fooled around with the .303 drums so that the owner can shoot the gun, and with some work they will handle the 54R round, although I have yet tto complete my experiment with the conversion. Barrels can be rechambered as 54R bullets runs well in the .303 bore. There are a lof of "DP" barrels around that might be useful, or new barrel extensions could be made and 1910 barrels adapted to fit the extensions.

That would suck!  I was lucky in that in the Army I never had to screw over individual soldiers based on position; of course, the "flip side" of that is since we lived there, I had to worry about wives, kids, girlfriends, etc when I was working things, not to mention base access, trying to get resources for upgrades.  The FP job was actually simpler (but a lot less safe) when I did it in a combat zone!

I remember in the early weeks of the 2022 invasion people saying "it takes too long to train people on F16 so it's not worth it."

I get the hesitancy to send systems beyond small arms, ATGMs, and MANPADS in the early weeks of the invasion (let alone before it, when the outcome was viewed as a fait accompli). However, once the Russians withdrew from Kyiv and it became clear that this was going to be a longer war, the west should've started working towards training Ukrainian pilots, providing IFVs and tanks, long range strike capability, etc.


IIRC the conversations in the earlier days of the other thread, a lot of those folks had spent years training and working with our "allies" in ME countries and considered UA no better, and as such there was no need to do it.

Others, wanted more immediate concerns addressed to stabilize the lines before doing long term stuff.

Some consider RU victory a fait accompli even now.

I suggested giving them the entire A10 fleet along with F16's as it would get it out of US inventory, allowing the USAF to spend the money elsewhere. And second it would give UA a robust plane to attack the front lines.

It was instantly poo poo-ed because the A10 would be a sitting duck to RU ADA. They'll all get shot down, it's to slow, it's to old, and the pilots will get killed, etc, etc, etc...

Never mind it would take months to a year to train them during which the UA would attrit the ADA before the planes were in country like they're doing now. Amazing how that worked.

A lot of people with a bias against the A10 ignored everything after A10 was mentioned in the conversation.

And I'm sure I'll get push back for mentioning it here.



Not from me, I agreed with ya.



I would've loved to see A-10s raking vehicle columns and giving individual tanks the 30mm or AGM-65 treatment.  A-10s might even have gotten lucky and downed a MiG or Su-something with an AIM-9 every once in a while.  

Some A-10s got hit by AAA in Iraq and managed to make it back home; all Iraq's anti-air stuff was sourced from the Soviets, right?  So we know its survivability was proven to a degree- all we couldn't predict was how the new SAM systems could threaten it...but with all the successful SEAD/DEAD Ukraine is putting on, I'd say A-10s could go out over Ukraine and a bit past the FLOT today with confidence.

One North Korean ballistic missile failed, likely to fall near Pyongyang

Delivery time 2024-07-01 10:47


One of the two rockets flew 600 kilometers before falling off the coast of Chongjin

The other one seems to have landed east of Pyongyang after flying about 120 kilometers.



(Seoul = Yonhap News) Kim Ho-jun Kim Ji-heon = It is reported that one of the two ballistic missiles launched by North Korea in the early morning of the 1st is likely to have fallen near Pyongyang due to a failed launch.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff said that North Korea fired two ballistic missiles from the Jangyon area of South Hwanghae Province in a northeasterly direction, one of which flew about 600 kilometers, while the other flew only about 120 kilometers.

It is known that the missile, which flew about 600 km, fell into the sea off Chongjin, but the missile that flew about 120 km most likely fell on land. The 120 km northeast direction from Jangyeon in South Hwanghae Province corresponds to the area east of Pyongyang.

An official of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said, "It is difficult to know exactly where [the short-range missile] fell, and we believe that it may have gone toward Pyongyang."

The two missiles launched by North Korea were both believed to be short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) of the Hwasong-11 type (KN-23).

On March 14 last year, North Korea fired two Hwasong-11 missiles from the Jangyon area, both of which flew about 610 kilometers.

At the time, North Korea announced through its official media that it conducted an educational demonstration firing of two ground-to-ground tactical ballistic missiles (Hwasong-11 type) under a medium-range system, and the missiles precisely hit the target island of Pido in front of Bangdong-dong, Cheongam District, Chongjin-si, North Hamgyong Province, 611.4 kilometers away.

North Korea's recent ballistic missile launch was carried out in the same place, range, and target point (off the coast of Chongjin) as the launch on March 14 last year, so it is highly likely that one of the two missiles failed to launch.

The military also speculated that the short-range missile was also a Hwasong-11 type and failed to launch, as it is unlikely that North Korea tested different types of missiles while firing two missiles.

Subscribers report that huge balloons with some kind of “cargo” on suspensions are moving in the direction of Crimea.

They also write that these objects, similar to balloons, travel in echelons at an altitude of 6 km to 20 km.

It is difficult to say what functions these balloons perform, but it is desirable that civil aviation aircraft avoid flying around Crimea in these corridors.

Because the Russian military, as usual, may not warn civilian airlines about the danger, and Russian air defense at such altitudes, as always, may confuse targets, which has happened more than once during a full-scale war.

Daily Ukraine Control map summary for Sunday 30th June 2024

Monthly Highlights: A relatively static month, with Ukrainian forces taking back some areas, and Russian forces capturing more.

Ukrainian forces have had very limited success in assaulting Russian forces in north Kharkiv and Vovchansk, whilst Russian forces have still have not managed to capture Kalinina nor the little Kanal district east of Chasiv Yar near Bakhmut

Russian forces did succeed in taking the village of Heorhiivka west of Marinka and a few fields near Novomykhailivka, though vehicle casualties in the area remain atrocious. It does put Kostyantynivka, Vuhledar and the O0532 road in danger though.

June saw even more Black Sea Fleet leaving Sevastopol, with one Krivak and both Bora's now in Novorossiysk. Multiple air defence sites in Crimea were destroyed during June, making it an extremely costly month for Russian air defence.

The Russian VKS FAB campaign continues unabated with no sign of any Ukrainian counter to it. Barring something substantial changing on the ground, it looks like July will be another grinding month where Russian forces make incremental gains
