>Russian turtle tanks becoming the new normal.>These four were storming Krasnohorivka recently.Who's laughing now?
>>61520927Ukraine is producing 1mil drones a yearproblem is drones are countered by electronic warfare so you need to attack in places where the russian EW net cant reach you, but its a big front so theres always gaps. Also thats usually easier on the defensive once you disable their vehicle based jammers with cluster bombs because that shit is just sitting on the top vulnerable .
>>61520933Puccians are mostly furious that the europoors are arranging 100 billion in military aid over the next 5 years for Ukraine. At least, I haven't seen any other reason for them to seethe so much today.
>>61520927>Right now the Russians are successfully pushing because the Ukrainians have run out of ammo and tanks survive much more than beforeAll the turtle tanks attack same fucking village for month now, how many successful attacks one need to finally take the bloody 5 street it has?
>>61520919Russia wouldn't be laughed at if they took Kyiv in March 2022. Everything after that is just pure clown moment.
>>61520756>ChatGPT, write a script designed to be read by David Attenborough on the migration of the turtle tanks through Ukrainewould be an instant classic
People misunderstand the 2nd Amendment.It's not about a well-regulated militia. It's about the people's right to keep and bear arms, and how it's not to be infringed. A well-regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state is not a justification for the right, either, it's one of the many justifications as for why the right is not to be infringed.In the US, it's your God-given right to keep and bear arms. Everything outside of that is simply to be considered noise.
The death of tank has been called many time in history, from the introduction of the sagger to the RPG and ATGMs many times it looked like the time of tank was over but every time tanks have been reinvented and improved to face the new challenges. Today the tank faces more challenges that ever before,Now every military unit has effective anti tank capabilities. So in this environment the tank will need to have substantial changes to remain relevant.Here are some necessary upgrades for a tank to be effective in today battlefield IMHO:1) some anti air capabilities, potentially a small, fast moving 20mm turret with LIDAR to intercept drones and incoming missiles. This is the most important improvement as it would also give some basic defense against anything flying too close within 3km range. A 5km lidar should be quite inexpensive these days And it's not targetable by HARM missiles and other anti radiation assets. 2) EW capabilities (however I consider this secondary as AI powdered drones are already coming to market making jamming useless).

>>61520728Many of those men have died. 1 million fighting aged men in Ukraine have permanently moved abroad. You can send however many billions you want, but if there's only so many men to go around you can't get very far.
But for what purpose?What value do 81 old Soviet-era air frames, an apparent mix of MiG-31 interceptors, MiG-27 fighter bombers, MiG-29 fighters, and Su-24 bombers, have to the United States, and how will these weapons most likely be utilized in the future?

>>61520904https://www.newsweek.com/putin-ally-russia-kazakhstan-invade-1796484Putin Ally Suggests Russia Should Invade Kazakhstan NextA Russian journalist has suggested that Moscow has the "historical right" to Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic that gained independence in 1991.Dmitry Steshin, a correspondent with the Kremlin-friendly tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda, was asked in an interview on the outlet's radio station about comparisons between Ukraine and Kazakhstan, a central Asian country with which Russia shares a 4,750-mile border."The situation in Ukraine is being mirrored clearly in Kazakhstan. There are enormous regions populated by Russian speakers there too," said Steshin in a clip tweeted by Francis Scarr of BBC Monitoring, which as of Tuesday morning, had been viewed more than 23,000 times.Among the Kremlin's justifications for its full-scale invasion of Ukraine was the protection of Russian speakers in the Donbas region. A pro-Kremlin journalist has said that Russia has a "historical right" to Kazakhstan.When asked by the presenter about whether there are some people in Kazakhstan who believe that Russia wants to take the north of the country "according to the Ukrainian scenario," Steshin responded: "we have a historical right to those lands."Comment too long.

Now that both sides have ran out of bradleys, BMPs and wheeled transports I can agree that it wasn't that bad compared to nothingIt just werks, it protekts
>>61520553Exactly, Russia is pulling more BMPs to the front and are refilling their reserves to newly produced BMP2s and 3s. Trvely, jewkraine will fall to attrition of western powers.
>>61520576>newly produced BMP2s there is no such thing>>61520533russia depleted its mt-lb reserve they will become rarer and rarer with time
>>61520533Russia doesn't produce new BMPs. They're just old ones hauled out of scrapyards.
>>61520533>it wasn't that bad compared to nothingAnything is better when compared to nothing. This does not make it actually good for front line assaults.>>61520642>Russia doesn't produce new BMPsDon't they make new BMP 3's? I know its based on the PT-76 hull, but aren't they still making then new?
>>61520925Their BMP factory went glub glub glub in the recent flooding.

I've been reading about Ukrainian armor developments lately. Why aren't we investing for Ukraine to build a bunch of their own vehicles? >T84>6TD engine with good transmission making 1200hp and can actually go fast forward and reverse; can be upgraded to 1500hp or 1800hp>Armor superior to what the T72 packs and can be fitted with western armor packs and new ERA >Superior western electronics and optics are included>125mm Soviet or 120mm NATO gun can be fitted and can be optioned with a bustle mounted autoloader so crew doesn't ACK when hit>Superior active protection systems (Zaslin) that have actually been adopted by a NATO army (Turkey)They were also working on their Berserk tank based heavy IFV which was to fill a role like the Puma or Namer
>>61520721Why is this website overrun with mouth breathing retards spouting these absolutely retarded ideas
>>61520017>Why aren't we investing for Ukraine to build a bunch of their own vehicles? Because it's too late, could've been done before war but not during it.tThe factory is right next to the border with Mordor.And destruction of other related industrial plants through eastern Ukraine makes it practically not feasible to produce new tanks - ie Mariupol metalworks were crucial producers of tank/IFV/AFV hulls for kharkiv plant, several destroyed large biochem complexes were suppliers/contractors for other shit involved in production, and so on.The only tank plant that remains in good condition is the one in Lviv, by the polish border. However that plant does NOT manufacture tanks. They only do upgrades, refurbishment and servicing of existing vehicles. They don't have physical capability to build stuff.
>>61520721And just how do you think they're going to conceal a construction project of that scale? The supply lines to it? The workforce travel routes?
>>61520025Like all of those other factories they bombed?
>>61520627The financing cut wasn't the only issue. The local MIC is/was very soviet in the lack of efficiency. Decades of not doing anything fucked it over, so even when financing started rolling in after 2014 there were tons of teething issues. Shit quality, not being able to actually produce final results, etc. And slow pace in general. Some projects got fucked by slowness (e.g. Vilkha), some got fucked by politics and corruption ("old MIC" vs "new MIC"), some got fucked due to western de-facto embargo on selling military and industrial stuff. Don't forget the traitors in the old soviet factories.

I will put this here, because I know /k/ loves a gruesome horror story from real life.https://apnews.com/article/brazil-amazon-migrants-adrift-africa-mauritania-2c98d960650b4e57f145884b3a5abcebAbout two weeks ago, a fishing vessel off the coast of Brazil, near the Amazon river delta, finds a seemingly derelict boat drifting at the sea. The boat is full of dead bodies. Rotting bodies. Badly decomposing, like they have been on the seas for a months.Coast guard and police are called, forensic investigations started. The boat looks much like the boats used by coastal fishermen in Mali or Mauritania, at the North-western coast of Africa (pic kinda related, that's what you get if you google "mauritanian fishing boat").It's 12 meters (39ft) long, has no engine or rudder. And not like "there has been an accident and they lost the rudder" but like "This boat has never had a rudder". It's a fucking row-boat. On board there are 9 rotting bodies ...and 27 cellphones. Suggesting that originally there were a lot more people on board. Best guess is that it used to be a migrant boat. They left the African coast trying to get to Canary Islands in the Atlantic. And they missed the Canaries. Current pushes them to south, out to the Atlantic.Around 30 people trying to get to Canaries. That's Spanish soil. They can apply for asylum. So they get on this dinky little rowboat, packed tight as sardines, and set off. Their navigational equipment? The Captain's old (non-waterproof) cellphone's GPS. Comment too long.

>>61520121When I was vacationing in Gran Canaria there were tons of drones, speed boats and police helicopters patrolling up and down the coast all night and day. The objective was to intercept boatloads of africans before they could get to land. There were also tons of homeless africans milling about the tourist spots trying to sell shit, or pick your pocket. Luckily the 5 start hotel I was at had tall fences and guarded gates to keep the Mad Max wastelanders away.I thought that things must be really fucking bad in africa if you're willing to take that risk. Despite looking like its close to the coast on a map, the Canaries are tiny specs of land waaaaaay out in the atlantic.
I am canarian and unfortunately not enough of them drift away, Tenerife is filled to the absolute brim with Southsaharan Africans, you can't even go hiking without finding colonies of these people.
Were any oars found with the boat? I find it really hard to believe that even illiterate migrants would get on a boat with no means of propulsion. Even the most desperate migrant rafts to Europe had a tiny dinky motor on the back. What if it wasn't a migrant boat? What if they were set adrift in a boat with no propulsion or navigation as a punishment or death sentence?? Or it was a migrant boat, but pirates stole their engine and equipment and left them to die? North Korean boats filled with skeletons have been showing up on the shores of Japan and SK, because competing Chinese fishing boats would do similar things to them, or just murder the crew outright.
>>61520897oars are going to work great against ocean currents. :)>Or it was a migrant boat, but pirates stole their engine and equipment and left them to die?often it's one boat pulling another. one with an engine & one without. maybe a storm separated them? or the smugglers cut them loose?
>>61520121If I had been there, I would have asked them how they would have felt if they made to Spanish soil.
