Russian Invasion of Ukraine (2022): Thread 1 - Ukrainian Liars vs Russian Liars with Air and Artillery Superiority

[Blewberry Nausea]

BREAKING: Russia has said it will respond to the seizure of Russian money by seizing the funds of foreigners in Russia.

Moscow won't rule out nationalising the assets of companies registered in the US, EU and other "unfriendly jurisdictions" — SKY

This is redpilling me so hard right now. As a liberal I am starting to really second guess my beliefs if it leads to the shit I’ve seen the last few days. Just the DUMBEST takes trying to send civilians into battle to own Putin when they’ll just get slaughtered? Acting like you know how to make booby traps or the weak points in Russian armor because you play vidya or have an art degree? Fucking hell I knew me and my peers were a coddled and sheltered lot but this is insanity!

Join us. We hate both sides of the spectrum.
Left? Right? Fuck either side.

Is this "war" even real? Seems like crisis actors and media.

car driver stops by the BTR: "hey dudes, did you brake down?"
"nah, ran out of fuel"
"may be tow you back to Russia?"
"ha ha"
"Do you know where are you going?"
"no, I don't"
"you are going toward Kiev"

I believe that's an MT-LB, but that's "uh akshually" level autism when BTR just means armored transport.
It's interesting to me that they're all by themselves and out of fuel. I can't say at a glance what sort of unit these guys are with or what they might have been doing to be just on the road by themselves and out of gas but I remember speculating before that there's a general lack of coordination with the Russians resulting in small groups becoming isolated from one another, and already shaky logistics wouldn't be able to provide for people who went and got lost who knows how the fuck far away from their company.

the Netherlands is giving Ukraine 200 stinger missiles.

 

[MazdamundiDidNothingWrong]

That implies they are already programmed to detonate well below optimum distance, yes?

Well yes, the vast majority of missiles have their warheads detonate well before they're at their optimum distance, and they're usually triggered by impact rather than programming. To offset this a lot of missiles usually stick the warhead at the back. If you wanted it to be perfect you'd have to make the missile a lot longer which would be very impractical for a variety of reasons.

I think a directed wormhole to a closed off parallel universe could in theory take the facility out of this reality wholesale and prevent an outbreak. Perhaps a vortex bomb or black hole generator.

Only if it is the will of the Prophets.

The Ukranians need mujahideen beards for them to work well in non US hands. Also shouts of 'Allah Akbar' or 'Allahu Akbar' after firing to ensure accuracy.

did you watch the vid to the end? He is also passing a tank that's getting fueled up by some commandeered truck/car

So, to the milspergs in the thread, aren't Stingers considered pretty old and close to obsolete at this point (it's been in service since Soviet Afghanistan, even)? Would they be working vs current Russian hardware?

Maybe we could entice Croatia to join in the fight on the downlow

Sure, the ones from the 60s are. But modern Stingers are horrifying and they still carry a massive warhead for a MANPAD at twice the mass of an Igla or Strela.

I'd wager there's a significant streak of anti-authoritarianism in Farmers.

That was in the whole internet before iphones were invented and the massive influx of normies ruined it. The Kiwi Farms is a throwback to the way the internet used to be. It is why it attracts the oddballs it does.

These last few days I tried sifting through twitter. I really tried. But was just too retarded. A safe and harmless kind of retarded that just annoyed me on some core level because just I knew somebody somewhere paid money for it to be that way. Faggots.

I gave up. The internet sucks now. It became the other kind of stupid that is the bad not-fun way.

They're not Stingers from the 80s, mate. Plenty of things have been in service for fifty years or more...in name. In reality, they're very different from their original incarnations. Even moreso when they're electronics and computer guided shit. There's a world of difference between an AIM-9 Sidewinder missile from Vietnam and one being used right now, for example.

Holy shit can you imagine how scary it would to be captured by a mod of angry civvies in a country your government had sent you to invade?

Being captured by professionals would be scary enough but chances are you'd be treated reasonably well but being cornered and dragged out by civvies whose homes you were occupying would be terrifying and humiliating.

You'd have to be incredibly lucky to land a kill on a fixed-wing aircraft, but you'd certainly be able to bring down a helicopter with one.

edit:
This is in regards to the older versions. The more modern hardware they have could certainly bring down a fixed-wing aircraft.

Reminder the T-72 is technically still used by Russia and it was made in 1968. It just has been updated a lot.
