And after that, you repeat the stupid Western propaganda that supposedly "Stalin was an idiot and did not expect a German attack".
Stalin wasn't perfect but he knew Britain had been fighting Germany essentially alone since 1939 and were desperate to get other countries involved on their side to get some relief... and are you saying Stalin would be stupid to think these provocations about an imminent German attack on the Soviet Union could not possibly be the British trying to trick the Soviets into starting a conflict with Germany to take some pressure of them?
The British were working in over drive with their spies and influencers in the Soviet Union to get them to attack Germany and equally in Germany to get them to attack the Soviets... and all Stalin wanted to do was watch Britain and Germany destroy each other the way the west eventually just sat and watched Germany and the Soviet Union destroy each other.
As long as they don't control the ukrainian coast they should send no troop on that island. They will always be at mercy of the ukrainian aviation and missiles.
Like I said, mine it so that no one can go there and patrol it with sukhois. Mine in the water and on the landing areas.
It's a useless island for the war but keep it so that NATO don't take it.
To be fair with what they do have there they seem to have defeated at least one serious on going landing attempt to the embarrassment and serious man power loss to the enemy... I would say just keep doing what you are doing...
My question was also what exactly systems can be seen in the picture?
Why post such information? Are you trying to help the Orcs plan their next attack?
The defence could easily be boosted by having a corvette approach the area which is the equivalent of a decent AESA radar array plus S-350 battery plus guns and other missiles that is fully mobile and therefore tricky to hit.
Those locations for the vehicles means nothing too... they are vehicles and the TOR and Pantsir can actually even fire while moving...
Does anyone know what causes the deep ringing sound after 2S4 Tulpan fires? Some part of the vehicle resonating, I guess.
The gun tube I think... resonates like a bell... being a mortar the walls of the tube are not as thick as the walls for a higher pressure weapon like a gun or a howitzer.
Friends, I have a question. There are media that are misinforming but I ask the specialists.
Does Russia have the capacity to supply its precision weapons that it has used in large numbers? is it autonomous in this sense? How are your factories working?
Russia came under western sanctions for western gear for military stuff in 2014 and since then has been increasing Russian content to Russian military systems... in most cases they are at 100% but some things are still imported from China and other countries.
Russian factories are working just fine and their reserves and stores of weapons was enormous before the war started.
They don't just have one type of cruise missile, they have dozens of different types each with their own unique features and capabilities.
I agree. It should be left in history. No reason to make divisions in society based on it. It is counterproductive.
Instead of tearing down statues of people involved in the slave trade or whatever sin they also committed, they should be left in place and a plaque added to mention that they weren't perfect and that they were involved in things we no longer approve of but were accepted at the time or were even considered normal at the time.
Tearing down statues is just denying history and covering it up.
I think the worst about those sanctions which will hurt a lot Russia is civil aviation which totally dominated by airbus and boeing for which they have very limited solutions. Too bad they didn't invest more on this since the 2000s.
That was a situation they created for themselves... they hired CEOs that obviously accepted bribes from Airbus and Boeing to buy their products likely with promises for access to airspace and airfields in the west and in so doing crushed their own capacity to make their own airliners... and now they pay the price...
I wonder if I told anyone here in feb. 24-28 that russia would still be far from taking kharkov in late may and that Slavyansk is still occupied, if I wouldve immidiately been called a troll and banned.
Yeah, like I banned you for all the other things you were right about and wrong about... the fact that you still don't understand you wont be banned on this forum for your opinion tells us more about you than anything you have stated or claimed.
It is the anti putin pro kiev trolls that are demanding a quick end to all this... posters like FP and PD and others recognise this job needs to be done right and if that takes a whole damn year then so be it... why the hurry... are your western audience losing interest?
That is the western medias problem, not Putins.
Fighting when you know you will loose anyway is dumb unless you face some barbarians who will cut you in pieces even if you surrender which is not the case here.
But that is their problem... according to Kiev the Russian troops are raping and murdering everyone... even civilians, so how can they surrender to such barbarians.... Let the nazis run away to the west, let the non nazi orcs surrender, and those that just want to kill Russians take your rifle to the front line and live your dream... once they are sorted out... those left alive can start working with the Russians to determine what sort of country they will have.
Bye bye Uncle Scam, it couldn't happen to to a more deserving bunch of evil bastards
The irony is that they demand tolerance for every sexual deviant... next they will say that child molestors are just sick and need help and are misunderstood... to be fair a man has sex with an underage girl and everyone is openly appalled, but a 14 year old boy gets his 30 something teacher pregnant and most guys would be secretly jealous.
Amusing they demand tolerance for homosexuality and not knowing what gender you are but there is no tolerance if you are Russian and don't denounce Putin as a war criminal...
I no longer have time for them.
2S4 is a baritone. Those unfortunates upon which it unloads turn into sopranos or castratos....
The people on the receiving end are called revolutionaries and often split up into splinter groups...
I suppose the Ukrainian "counter-attack" will be Poles...
Pole vaulting might become a popular sport...
If Ukraine was shown how to replace the batteries it would be another story.
But would it?
Lots of incidents during testing where tanks were missed completely and they had to set the target vehicle on fire so the thermal seeker could find the vehicle... a vehicle that was stationary...
These are from stores so normally when put into storage things like batteries are taken out, because often batteries left in objects for long periods can leak and ruin electronics completely... so standard procedure is normally to remove them before putting them into long term storage. If it is just standard storage where they might come out at any time they set up a schedule so every few years the batteries are replaced and other parts are inspected and random examples are test fired to make sure they still work.
One of the Canadian snipers complained that the Russian tanks were plinking them in their trenches beyond the range of the Javelin.
The episode of Combat Approved for the T-90M showed the vehicle firing at a tank target from 5km range with APFSDS rounds and HEAT rounds and also ATGMs... all were direct hits within a metre of the centre of mass. They also fired an airburst ANIET HE Frag round at that range which was pretty much on target too.
2. Russian roof mounted ERA can effectively and utterly neutralize 750mm penetrating tandem charge warheads.
3. Assuming 2 is true, the javelin doesnt hit the hatches without ERA on the roof of the tank
If it was accurate enough to hit the roof hatches it would kill the tank every time... it clearly isn't any where near that accurate...
If it was amazing then the thousands of missiles they have sent should have meant the Russian force would be out of operational vehicles... they clearly are not.
The comments have some delicious cope that the russian tanker must be lying and that the thermal imagers he used must have been from france since russians are allegedly too primitive compared to white civilization to make electronics.
To be fair their thermal imagers are licence made French thermal imagers and are probably better than the thermals used in quite a few other HATO tanks...
Their digital training facilities were made by the Germans and are state of the art facilities that most HATO countries can't afford either... the Germans started making them but because of the sanctions the Russians finished them themselves and built more for each military district.
And what is the corresponding figure for how many Russian Kornets were able to hit Ukrainian tanks, armored vehicles? Russia will never publish those embarrassing figures
They started the war with more armour than the rest of HATO combined except the US, but now they need armour to be imported because they are out of vehicles... yeah, those Russian missiles must suck.

Briefing by Russian Defence Ministry
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the special military operation in Ukraine.
High-precision air-based missiles have hit 48 areas of AFU manpower and military equipment concentration, 2 artillery batteries, and 2 ammunition depots near Nikolaevka and Berestovoe in Donetsk People's Republic during the day.
In total, 179 Ukrainian airplanes and 127 helicopters, 1,019 unmanned aerial vehicles, 323 anti-aircraft missile systems, 3,266 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 433 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,682 field artillery and mortars, as well as 3,190 units of special military vehicles were destroyed during the operation.
I don't think that modern MBTs (ok, not modern considering Armata, but the current ones in service) differ that much in effectivness.
