I will need double plus signed affidavits until I believe anything other than Putin realized how colossally unironically fucking sped Team Biden was after the call to Xinnie The Pooh and calling an audible to say "fuck minor incursions, go for the full country" and then logistics hit like the hangover of all hangovers

Based Biden baiting Putin into an overreach just by being his dementia self.

Here are two photos from (allegedly) Kharkov from a rutracker thread.

Judging by the angle of impact and size, the first one looks like an unexploded MLRS rocket. You know, the thermobaric ones.
GTFO or you will be eventually GTFO'd by the explosives still in that rocket.
People dont get that these dont explode NOT because they are ACME Russian bootleg rockets without explosives inside, but probably just because whatever ignition system it uses failed.
That means the Explosives of a thermobaric rocket, plus a heavily damaged and armed ignition system is likely just sitting there 2 meters away from the camera. 100% within lethality area.

Notable.

Poor planning, low troop morale and a fierce Ukrainian resistance. Why Russia is getting bogged down

"Experts believe that..."
Dont get me wrong, but thats probably propaganda. Like usually when anonymous "experts" are brought up.

so even if he goes full grozny (which I'd assume putin doesn't want either), what they gonna do, send more helmets? declare war?

It's gonna make Putin look like a monster and further isolate him from the international community. Probably even create discord among his own people becase Ukraine has the second largest Eastern Orthodox population outside of Russia. Again... bombing durka durkas is one thing. This is something else. Islam is only like 0.2% of Ukraine as a whole. Ironically, a lot of them went with Crimea.

There's a big part of me that thinks this didn't work out exactly the way he was hoping it would. He was probably counting on a coup d'état within the Ukrainian government, or early capitulation, and he rolled the dice. I don't think his expansionist plans meant expanding into ankle deep blood and rubble. After all, what financial resources could he call upon to allow him to rebuild from such devastation?

But all the movies they watch show that body armor makes guns almost useless!

Seriously, these people are in a horrendous bubble and while they love to point at the low body count of the last 30 years for US military operations, they actually have no idea why the body counts are that low.

They also have no clue about scale of force.

I've honestly heard someone try to argue that machineguns are useless now since advances in body armor mean that the bullets can't hurt infantrymen.

Yeah body armor and helmets for the most part is to protect from shrapnel and ricochets not direct fire.

Putin was actually aiming at removing vtubers all along? Based.

How can anyone say whether or not its going as well as putin hoped when don't know how well it's going, and don't know what putin hoped?

Everyone becomes a general, veteran of several wars, with a master's degree in history and psychology when it comes to this shit. Makes it discussing it outside here impossible.

Should weapons be listed as ESG Assets? (News Story)

Amazing. So now they want to make defense contractor stocks into virtue signalling social justice assets.
I guess war and guns are cool everywhere again.

You know that, I know that, but too many people think that body armor protects people from a dead center mass shot with a fucking battle rifle.

For all the partisans in Ukraine dealing with Russians:

I love how in the remake they changed it from Chinese invaders to North Korean ones.

Just look at some of the photos from this drive.View attachment 3030270View attachment 3030269


Whenever this conflict resolves, I highly doubt that Putin will be living peacefully in this palace (assuming he doesn’t get assassinated).

What a lazy fucking photographer.

Why is the guy using flash instead of High Dynamic Range?

I've read Dune outside in a hurricane. Feels good, man.

Now read it on a beach pre hurricane.

Some people are talking about how stalled the invasion is. Is it really going slow? It only started 4 days ago, and the German conquest of Poland, which was superfast, lasted something like 5 weeks. And in the German invasion of the Soviet Union, yes, they got to Minsk in a few days, but it also took them weeks to capture Brest. I'm not stating a position here, just honestly asking what makes this stalled compared to other invasions?

 

[Richardface]

Christ, what a fucking LARP. Not even looking at the patches their gear would seem excessive in Northern "Fucking" Idaho. She has a tactical communications headset / hearing protection and none of her compatriots have them. Their armor and rifles are excessive unless they plan on driving through East St. Louis or Mogadishu. All of it is a cry for attention and for the community to dislike them but I guess that is what they want.

Um sweaty, the stunning and beautiful ladies are attempting to JUST FUCKING EXIST in the heart of CHUDia under the constant threat of MAGA violence and we should support them in any way that helps them feel safe. Educate yourself.

A military grade set of body armor should be able to stop a direct hit from certain calibers though.

Oh shit, China just came our against Russia and is sending support to the Ukraine

@дядя Боря Потом будешь рассказывать про стотыщубитыхтанкованей опять, да?
Uabros, maybe you should check out your govt? I'd question their sanity at this very moment, perhaps they want you all dead? On purpose?
Give up. Give in. Drop Zelensky to DPR\LPR door.

Obviously. They know perfectly well that they are on their own and they are going to lose. They also know, that US and EU are going to protect them personally, like they did with all the puppets from previous regimes, so now their goal is to cause as many civilian casualties as possible to cry about later.

Yeah I'm not going to charge into a battle zone but if my choice is "t shirt and jorts" or "t shirt and jorts and some random Digimon trainer wrist braces and a gay ass bike helmet and shit" I'm gonna go with the extra gear
