>War in brown country, men rush to flee to the west, leaving women and children behind.
>War in white country, men stand in queue for the privilege die for their homes and families
And people wondered how Europe once conquered the world
Ironically the brown countries full of faggot cowards are also the ones who boast about pride in their failed nations they fled the loudest.
 
For all the psychological operations fans here, who has the better propaganda thus far? Ukraine or Russia?
It seems to depend on where you get your info. The Ukrainian propaganda is making its rounds all over social media from my perspective and people just eat it all up. If I were to believe everything about Ukrainians kicking Russian ass that I've seen then I'd have to wonder how they made it to Kiev in the first place.
 
That's something that's been puzzling us daywalkers a bit. The obvious explanation is that the Russian military is more professional and has less to gain from blatant propagandizing, but that doesn't entirely jive with what we've been seeing. The Ukrop numbers are obviously inflated, but there's been too many verified examples of Russian forces getting hit badly, captured, etc to discount them all as fake nooz. It's very likely that the Russian military has experienced more setbacks than it was initially expecting. Nothing catastrophic, but not good enough for a side that clearly has the upper hand to brag about, so they're being quiet.

It should be noted that yesterday we had a decent number of clips from regular gopniki-at-arms and that we had very little today. Make of that what you will.
If they brag about killing 6 gorillion Ukranians, then they get hit with larger sanctions and more protests at home. There's no upside in propaganda if they are winning or losing.
 
I took a nap. Did anything interesting happen besides the UN proving to (once again) be spineless faggots?
Null skipped his MATI stream today but left us with a cryptic message:
"Fuck it, I'm going in. Should I not return, you're in charge, HHH."
Many coped, some dilated.
 
U.S. Department of the Treasury releases official statement imposing sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov.

Interestingly, they don't call Xi Jinping a despot. They seem to be deluded thinking China won't go after Taiwan. Infuriating me greatly.
 
where's the russian propaganda at? not tv shit, but "we killed 52 million hohols, here's a pic of a blown out armored vehicle"

ratio of dead katsaps to hohols is like 20 to 1 in the thread right now, they can't be eating shit that hard
Don't really need to talk mad shit on the internet when your bombing the capital and surrounding it.

Ukraine is talking a mad game.
Russia just seem to be going for the kill shot, we'll see how much they'll teabag the corpse when they get it. Till then radio silence.
 
Not sure if this was posted in the thread yet; can't find it in the thread search, so I'm posting it here, too!

Ukrainian mad lad crashes a Kiev livestream to Morse Code "niggers tongue my anus":

 
The Ukranians have claimed to have killed a hundred billion more Russians.
The Russians discovered that dirty Ukrainian soldiers living in a basement had a remarkable collection of nazi memorobelia which was all showroom clean.
Ah yes, the magical Nazi den. This is where the first raid boss will spawn.
 
Never heard of this weapon before?

Anyone point me to where it was used before?
Apparently Russia is prepared to use.
Thermobarics are a widely used weapon, russian examples include the RPO-Shmel and Buratino MLRS.

How it works: Most explosives contain both the fuel and oxidizer, either in the same molecule, or in a mixture, such as blackpowder.
Thermobaric explosives have a negative oxygen balance, containing less oxygen than theoretically required for ideal combustion.
The remainder reacts with air. The deficit of oxygen in the explosive itself means you're saving weight, and thus get a bigger blast for the same mass.
It also deals damage primarily via overpressure, not fragments, that means you can use a substantially lighter casing and larger explosive payload.

The tricky part is having the reaction occur fast enough to contribute to the blast wave, that's accomplished with fuels such as isopropyl nitrate, aluminium powder, and a strong burster.
That is how you can have a relatively light warhead, like the RPO-Shmel, with the same "tnt-equivalent" as a round of heavy artillery.
The limitations are that you don't get a wide fragment radius, and the blast itself is spread out over a longer duration (>20ms).
Thermobaric effects are strongest when a the explosion is confined inside a building or vehicle.

All things considered, it can have a greatly enhanced effect, but is more situational.
Using it as "pocket artillery", as with the Shmel, is probably the most practical application.
