Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Lieh-tzu: It's not 20/20 hindsight. Ukraine, as the weaker party, always needed to have lots of help as fast as possible. The only way for them to win is to get enough equipment donated, LOTS of it, at the earliest possible time. Zaluzhny was interviewed almost a year ago and said he needed several hundred tanks and armored vehicles to be successful. They didn't have them, so they weren't, so the Russians had plenty of time to dig in with the worlds most extensive and dense minefields, so Ukraine's "counteroffensive" has been a big fizzle. All because of the entirely predictable outcome of failing to provide a sufficient quantity of equipment in a timely fashion when it could have done the most good. I get it, we would seriously deplete our own capability in key areas to give Ukraine what they need. But "kinda, sorta" helping Ukraine doesn't deal Russia the defeat they need. Biden got totally exposed when Zelensky said publicly, "I need ammo, not a ride." DC Establishment types wanted Ukraine to fold, but they didn't want to. Yup. They see this is a political crisis to manage rather than a war of independence or as a proxy war with an enemy. Xiden and gang are trying to thread the needle, trying to look strong and avoid another A-stan level fiasco while avoiding angering and provoking Russia. I could understand the bed-wetting and escalation pants-pissing back in Feb 2022, but now, after Ukraine has sunk Russian Flagships, subs, shot down Russian jets, blown up the BSFHQ and even hit Moscow with drones, not to mention our smaller (much braver allies) already providing Storm Shadows etc I no longer buy the "ESCALATION" bullshit. There is something else at play here that cannot be explained with the tired "genius frog boil" plan being used to try to put a positive spin on withholding critical aid. Xiden simply wants/needs a negotiated truce or temporary ceasefire that keeps Ukraine weak and dependent. WHY? |

Another 300BO incident? Seriously what would cause this? Muzzle brakes fail from time to time. When I was on M109A3's, one of the PMCS checks was to examine the muzzle brake for deformation, cracks, and other wear. If you are constantly firing a crapton of full-charge white bag or red bag, muzzle brakes are bound to fail occasionally. On one occasion, I remember an 8" muzzle brake from a sister units' gun flying in formation towards the impact area at Camp Blanding in formation with the projectile.

❗️ Moscow authorities published the addresses of secret facilities of Russian security agencies
Investigators from the "Dossier" center found on the website of the Moscow City Hall a document with the title "List of consumers of electric power (capacity), the restriction of the regime of electric power consumption of which may lead to economic, environmental and social consequences". It is there that the addresses of restricted facilities are listed. The list of special Moscow electricity consumers approved by Sergei Sobyanin includes addresses where employees of secret agencies are registered. Among them is building 91 on Profsoyuznaya Street. The document also lists specific apartments, presumably belonging to intelligence officers. The largest concentration of secret facilities is located in the Serebryany Bor, a specially protected natural area in the area of Moscow. There are military unit facilities belonging to the Foreign Intelligence Service, as well as plots intended for "defense and security" and "operation of a service dacha." The building in Stoleshnikov Pereulok, where the famous Jean-Jacques café is located, turned out to be somehow connected with the Federal Protective Service. In the border region of Bryansk, officials even noted a temporary mobile FSB station. And in St. Petersburg, the law enforcement agencies have several dachas in the most elite neighborhoods of the city. Such information is a state secret, and for the disclosure of addresses under Article 283 of the Criminal Code threatens up to seven years in prison. The file was placed in the section "Special Group" on the site of the mayor's office, now it is no longer available. The investigators also found similar files on the websites of the administrations of St. Petersburg, the Leningrad region, the frontline Belgorod and Bryansk regions, the Primorsky Krai, Kamchatka, Chechnya and North Ossetia. Also, the lists include addresses belonging to the Ministry of Defense and captions to them: "ammunition depot", "refueling point" and "storage facility". According to the investigators, the addresses of these facilities may already be known to the Ukrainian security services and could be used as potential targets for strikes. Therefore, the journalists created a map in which they indicated all possible potential targets for strikes, so that ordinary residents could understand the risks of living near such places. that is a nice target list ya got there. |

Only way that muzzle device failed catastrophically like that is if it was packed with dirt and shot. Regular use won't cause that. Must have dropped the gun muzzle first and not cleared it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RockNwood: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/494438/IMG_4075-2973674.jpg Russia is secretly mobilizing the entire country. Maybe it's time to reassess the scale of Ukrainian mobilization," suggested the ex-head of the British Ministry of Defense. Interesting. Russia announces only 130,000 to be conscripted this Autumn. There had been mentioned a few weeks ago it would be 400K and then 300K. Might Russia really be mobilizing the larger numbers and trying to downplay it? Because 130K is not enough to go on the offensive. But 400K would do it. That will be a lot of clusterized meat. We need to be clear when discussing conscription versus mobilization in Russia. Conscription they do every year, bringing new, young people into the military for compulsory service. Mobilization is where they re-activate past active duty service members. Many of those may in fact have only been conscripts at one time. Many are contract service veterans. Anyway, I agree with Ben Wallace. That Ukrainian man-on-the-street interview video I showed had a number of young, military-age males clearly not in the service. I know they say they don't have enough gear to equip everyone, but surely that can easily be fixed with a mass shipment of small arms, body armor, helmets, IFAK, uniforms, other field gear, and grenades out the wazoo. If there's a chance for a big push this winter or next spring, the time to train is now. Get another quarter-million callup in Ukraine, send them out west to get trained by Ukrainian veterans and UK regulars & SAS, get ready for 2024. |

There is something else at play here that cannot be explained with the tired "genius frog boil" plan being used to try to put a positive spin on withholding critical aid. Xiden simply wants/needs a negotiated truce or temporary ceasefire that keeps Ukraine weak and dependent. WHY? My opinion: the State Dept is in full effect, and State is fully under the model of Kissinger's theories of great power politics and realism. State, and hence the NSC and the Administration, believe that Russia is inherently a great power, and under the Kissingerian view must have a sphere of control and interest. In a way, they want Russia to have Ukraine. Their perception of Russia makes some sense, given Russia is a nuclear power with a large military and a vast natural resource and energy base. But, it also suffers from normalcy bias and fails to recognize that all empires decline and go away given enough time. Neither the US nor Russia will be exceptions to that rule of human history. Russia is in worse shape than the US, with significant population decline, kleptocracy, corruption, and industrial decay. Putin and Russia are still playing from a 20th century techno-industrial script, which is only adding to their decline. Bottom line, it is not necessary to assume that Russia will retain great power status, and therefore deserve that "realist" view of requiring satellite and client states and a protected sphere of interest. Therefore, State's position on Russia is wrong. I would argue that State is wrong most of the time. Somebody posted a great video about realism in foreign policy in this thread, at least a couple times I think. Please post it again here. Here is an opinion column in The Hill about realism as applied to Ukraine from a year ago. Note that I'm not denying any of the concepts of realism. What I'm saying is that the nations of the world are never static, and powers rise and fall over time. Yes, Russia is fulfilling realist theories in its actions. But doing so, they are diminishing themselves. I said before I think Russia is on the path to being nothing but a satellite state for China, I've seen nothing to prove me wrong yet, despite Putin, Lavrov, Solovyov, etc crowing about how inherently great Russia is. The Big Idea for Russia to get into their heads is that in the 21st century, Russia at peace with their sovereign neighbors is inherently a far better position to occupy than a greatly diminished Russia that owns Donbas & Crimea, but is a vassal to China and jumps when Xi says "hop." This is also why my 10-point peace plan is far better for Russia than it appears.

I dont want to see more vids of street brawls between AWOL street patrols and unwilling Ukrainian men but they are in a war for survival. But I have a hard time excusing or even understanding young men in Ukraine who are not in the service. They dont all have to be front-line infantry or trench warriors. They can be medics, ambulance drivers, drone builders, whatever. But if they are of age, 18-50, they should be in the service or on a waiting list. No reason to have them sitting around for a year or two then rush them through training in 2 months. Even if they dont have equipment to outfit them, get them through basic then into a TDF or some "reserve" status where they train part time for months or years and can be called up when needed or when the necessary equipment arrives. |

When I was on M109A3's, one of the PMCS checks was to examine the muzzle brake for deformation, cracks, and other wear. If you are constantly firing a crapton of full-charge white bag or red bag, muzzle brakes are bound to fail occasionally. On one occasion, I remember an 8" muzzle brake from a sister units' gun flying in formation towards the impact area at Camp Blanding in formation with the projectile. Interesting. I also think it is plausible that the brake had some obstruction, mud or something as posted by Foxvalleytac below. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ITCHY-FINGER: Maggot-wound therapy is/was in some TM's back in the day. I believe the Ranger Handbook too. They use leeches for re attaching flesh at my GF’s old hospital. To increase blood flow. She’s says no maggots though. For a while she was a leech wrangler. At a minor back-water institution called the University of Michigan Hospital. |

But these maggots are clean and don't transmit any diseases. They used them on my grandmother, even if it works, I think it's fucking disgusting.  |

Slovakia (/sloʊˈvækiə, -ˈvɑːk-/ Slovak: Slovensko [ˈslɔʋenskɔ] ⓘ), officially the Slovak Republic (Slovak: Slovenská republika [ˈslɔʋenskaː ˈrepublika] ⓘ), is a landlocked country in Central Europe. It is bordered by Poland to the north, Ukraine to the east, Hungary to the south, Austria to the west, and the Czech Republic to the northwest. Slovakia's mostly mountainous territory spans about 49,000 square kilometres (19,000 sq mi), with a population of over 5.4 million. Robert Fico Personally I am shocked a pro-Russian is a POS...... True dat.  |

Another 300BO incident? Seriously what would cause this? Muzzle brakes fail from time to time. When I was on M109A3's, one of the PMCS checks was to examine the muzzle brake for deformation, cracks, and other wear. If you are constantly firing a crapton of full-charge white bag or red bag, muzzle brakes are bound to fail occasionally. On one occasion, I remember an 8" muzzle brake from a sister units' gun flying in formation towards the impact area at Camp Blanding in formation with the projectile. Only way that muzzle device failed catastrophically like that is if it was packed with dirt and shot. Regular use won't cause that. Must have dropped the gun muzzle first and not cleared it. That or undetected deformation of the brake, or they bent/deformed it during movement and fired the mission anyway figured it was "good enough". Could also be a baseplate on a Illum or other bottom-separating round failed while leaving the tube. Could also be a charging/fusing issue, or a propellant issue. The term "This ain't rocket science" doesn't really apply to either of the Artillery branches, and the way to become an old Artilleryman is to treat the firing of your primary weapon like it IS rocket science! Projectiles, rockets, and missiles are no longer anyone's friend once the rope/trigger/fire button is activated.
