Russian special military operation in Ukraine #36

Looks like you could destroy it with a grenade!

That POS looks like it was designed and built by an ISIS chopshop in ar-Raqqa

Truly has the Murkan MIC "Emperor" been revealed to have no clothes...

Nice article by Big Serge

Only watching the pics of Pancyr and this henhouse will tell a lot about the real condition of the mighty western Wunderwaffe and the whole structure of the house of cards.
We are talking a quantum leap difference in both technology and potential.
The sole fact that Muricans failed miserably multiple times trying to create a potent anti-air defense mobile system speaks for itself.
Again, we can easily notice that European MIC was capable to provide much better systems, at a fraction of the cost.
Still lagging behind the Russkie heavily.
What is most surprising, is the fact that this gap is getting even wider as we speak. Soon, Russkie will field a THIRD generation ahead of the competition, and the sole country that can present something similar is and will be ... China.
And that can go on and on.

Listening to col. MacGregor is very interesting, as he was a commander in the biggest tank battle the US carried in the last 30 years - 73 Eastings. So the guy seriously knows what he is talking about considering the armored warfare. Asked multiple times lately, he steadily confirms that he would prefer L2 rather than M1 at any moment. Because of the logistics. M1 requires refueling every SIX HOURS. From the Ukro perspective, it is dead meat. They can't afford that at any level. Not only do they lack the fuel itself, but the transport tools and safety margin to operate.
The thing reminds me of the story of 6TD engine that put in question a whole operational capability of the Soviet tank units when accepted. Not because it was a bad engine with a bad tank, but it was a totally different philosophy and engineering.
Soviet mechanics and drivers were used to operate endless lines of W-2 up to W-46, which required close to zero attention. It could operate by burning salo&butter if needed, and to make it cooled and lubricated you could piss on it. 6TD didn't allow this kind of treatment. It had to be well maintained, properly oiled with the proper oil types, and while being multifuel, it still required better quality fuel to run smoothly.
Now imagine placing a brand new tank, with made with inch, not cm system. Powered by a turbine that consumes an enormous amount of good quality fuel. Unknown to the technicians and drivers. And required refueling after few hours of operating.
Yeah, that will surely help them

The longer this lunacy goes, the more I'm convinced that kievan junta is doing everything only to involve as many people in the misery as possible.

Visegrad24?  /puke

Good riddance to that scumbag child killer. Funny how Russian patriots can shoot back, unlike kids or villagers in Af-Pak or Iraq or NE Syria. Rot in hell you stupid prick.

Rest in hell Daniel Swift, piece of shit imperialist!

@famschopman
It is real.

@FP
You seem to be going through some kind of catharsis. I'm not sure in which country in the West you lived, but from personal experience, Swedes are the worst at virtue signaling, and at the same time, chauvinist people in Europe. I would say Danish are close second, but they are same garbage. So welcome to reality bro. Red pill and all.

No catharsis on my part, that wallet dickhead was grating on me for a while and his delusional glee at the supposed wunderwaffen beating the russkies back was obvious already prior.
Had to be confronted, no way around it

I don't see the need to have people like that on this forum. It's a war, you're on one side or the other - if you let determined Ukronazi & neocon apologists on here who wholeheartedly support the destruction of Russian troops here then they will simply cause flamewars. The emotions are too high.
But that's just my opinion on the matter

As for Swedes - I worked with Swedes for a number of years. Visited the country for work. Denmark too a couple of times, worked in a Russo-Danish company on a seperate stint as well.
I'm not in the business of painting millions of people I don't personally know with the same brush, and you shouldn't be either.

Why? Surely all they need is a long ditch plus a few dozen bags of lime?

Prigozhin watching trucks loaded with dead Ukros. Approx. 20 trucks will be needed, maybe some more.

The part that is unclear to me, is what they meaned.
The talk is "about 20 trucks", and "4-5 curses".
So we talk 20 trucks in total, or 4-5 curses of 20 trucks
Each truck is loaded with at least 10 coffins ... so even if we talk the first, it is 200+ dead bodies. Not to mention POWs and WIA ... And Ukrs evacuated some of the KIA earlier, lot's of materials with that from Artemovst, Krematorsk and Slavyansk ...

As usual when the Russians are derided as hanging on by the Soviet coat tails - it was purely projection. If anyone can be accused of failing to evolve beyond their cold war selves its NATO. What kind of a ground force can exist in the 21st century without capable anti-air? Even the Houthis of yemen have SHORADs for ****'s sake!

He would. The stop-start mess of American armored spearheads and long operational pauses that followed was almost single-handedly responsible for allowing half of the Iraqi Army to escape encirclement. That remnant would then go on to crush Saddam's rebellions for him, and ensured that a round 2 was needed, which would then lead to a disastrous counter-insurgency...

Exactly. There is such a thing as too advanced a weapon for the user to wield. The Russians are sensible enough to recognize this for a fact, which is why their factories are mass-producing stuff the army is familiar with for many years now, while they wait for a new generation of soldiers to train up to use their next-gen stuff. If Ukraine were to even receive NATO equipment in the required numbers it won't help them, not when the quality of their manpower has been degraded to such an extent.
