Russian special military operation in Ukraine #40

Then Russians will do the same thing with Tu-22M's near Hawaii or other US cities.

The Americans are not thinking very straight. Or hard.

Nice vapid comeback.

Ukraine despite being armed with several western SAM systems like IRIS-T is finding it difficult to intercept even 3M-54 Kalibr. Why does Russia need to "confuse" their air defence units with cruise missiles that travel at supersonic or hypersonic speed?

The point is that Russian missiles often contain jammers and decoys and other bits and pieces to distract incoming SAMs, plus no doubt the use of decoys to distract or dilute the effect of the defenders, with the added impact that probably 200km away there will be Su-35s and MiG-31BMs with Kh-31 ARMs and R-37M AAMs just watching to see what the Orcs do... if they turn on radar to try to intercept targets they can launch the ARMs and launch other air to ground weapons to take out the air defence systems that reveal themselves while trying to shoot down targets.

And Garry deserves a beer for what he wrote to Papadragon.

He is being disrespectful... I am not going to say Serbia special forces were pussies in their conflict against Albanian invaders over Kosovo... I don't even think it... the knew what they knew at the time and they did what they thought would work and if HATO didn't interfere the job would have been done and things would be fine.

We don't have enough details about what is happening, but calling men in combat faggots for using tactical gear... well...

Try to see the bright sides.
At least he didn't call himself a fleet admiral.

Rear Admiral at best considering his knowledge of lube...

Russia is lacking in heavy drones (drones like Reaper) etc and recon drones that much is true and The Russians themselves stated this, I don't know why you are trying to defend it when the very guys your white knighting for have said your wrong on the fact

The US refuses to supply Kiev with larger drones of the type you are talking about because they are just too vulnerable and would be easily shot down... they are also rather expensive... most medium and large US drones cost more than many Russian manned fighter aircraft.

A certain Turkish drone was shot from the skies to the point where the Turkish makers asked they not be used because they are not intended to be used against an enemy with a working IADS network.

Ukrs already using JDAMs. I wonder if they are actually as acurate as they claim. Wouldn’t they be easier to shootdown than HIMARS?

TOR and Pantsir should be able to deal with them, as should BUK and S-350 if they are deployed.

Could someone post the pics here, please? Because of the high level of freedom of speech in my country I´m not allowed to visit ZOKA´s Twitter feed!

Gunners sight, not commanders sight... so not so amazing really...

T-62 has a great potentiel. A new turret wouldn't be bad with a better protection of the crew against internal explosions like on t-90M.

Not every tank job needs a 125mm gun... often a 115mm gun can get the job done and with ERA the armour is almost as good too, for a fraction of the price.

Uh yeah JDAM has proven it's precision for over 20 years now. Surprising you'd even ask that.

Not if they don't reach their target...

BTW, apparently Ukraine only has 4 Leopard-2 tanks. So the talk about 12 already at the front is fantasy fiction. There is no point
dribbling a handful of tanks to the front. If they are going to get value out of them, then they need to assemble the 300 for the same
offensive. But we know that these offensives are hot air. Russian forces are not going to be withdrawing to enable a Kiev regime "win".

Well that is their problem... using them one at a time across the entire front makes getting ammo and spares and trained support people impossible, while making dealing with them easy because one tank on its own is always the easiest problem to deal with... using even the old model Kornet you could kill it from 6.5km range easily enough and it wont know what hit it.

Conversely grouping them together and the Russians might dig out their top attack submunitions artillery rockets to shower down death from 120km plus range till you don't have any armour left...

but why T-62? wouldn't be better to modernize T-72 to the newest standard?

For rear areas you don't need anything that powerful, and they have stocks of T-62s including spare parts and ammo... it makes sense to use them up in roles where they can do a good job while upgraded T-72s and T-90s go to the front line and fight Orc tanks.

In Rear areas a T-90 wont fare better than a T-62 in an ambush with mines or IEDs, while its ability to deliver direct fire gun support will be good enough out to 3-4km with HE shells and HEAT shells and APFSDS rounds for armoured stuff.

For each T-72 they could send they can send probably 3 or 4 T-62s for the same price and 3 or 4 T-62s will be more use.

They are simpler and easier to use and maintain and operate too.

kvs is a bit on high combining it with M1, but the difference is not so big as one would imagine.

Yeah, I would not compare it with the M1 either but it is a rear area machine that wont encounter enemy armour most likely, it will be dealing with enemy sabotage groups for which its fire power will be plenty...

Only disadvantage: no autoloader = 4 men crew with one poor dude as loader.

One piece ammo is not so bad and as mentioned by Alamo it takes rather more than sparks or hot metal landing on it to set it off so it is safer than 125mm ammo.

It can fire missiles too...

Serbian schoolteacher didn't charge across flat terrain like a retard and got his turd pushed in by bunch of apes

Especially not after advertising himself like some hot shit

You'd think they would keep a low profile for a while until people forget how hard they got turboraped but I guess not

Of course you heard something on the internet and believe it and now you judge them for it...

Serbian teacher telling the world the guys killing nazis are faggots... have you changed sides again or is there an American with his gun to your face (and I am not suggesting that is a euphemism).

If they were ordered to cross open ground and take a position I guess Serbian troops would refuse and go home?

By that respect aircraft are too vulnerable to AD and so why make those.

Manned aircraft have better situational awareness and self defense measures, while drones are mostly sitting ducks.

The US military have said they wont send large drones to Kievs forces because they said they are too vulnerable to being shot down...

This is the kind of petty flex that the US would do in response to Russia killing Americans in Ukraine. But we'll see

Probably tracked it very accurately with NEBO with S-400 missiles ready to launch if it became necessary...

Sorry but this is probably the most laughable post I've ever seen here.

The equivalent for the US would be to use M60s for the task, which has the same gun and not that much less armour than the early model Abrams tanks... to be clear he specified the M1 Abrams and not a later model, so shit armour and no special optics for the commander... no pano sights let alone thermals for the commander, and a 105mm gun which is a good gun but not amazing and quite comparable to the 115mm smoothbore the T-62 carries.
