Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Keystone]

Isn't it funny that the Ukrainians who were bragging a week ago about all the "Captured/Abandoned" "Russian" APCs and tanks are now resorting to making unarmored Toyota Pickup technicals?

What happened to all those abandoned, perfectly functional, still running APCs you kept posting in the propaganda videos? I thought you kept saying that the Russians were abandoning enough vehicles to outfit Ukrainian regiments? Oh, a week later you're resorting to sticking machine guns in the back of pickup trucks like the Taliban? Funny...

This whole war has been a big IQ test for all my fellow military nerds. The amount who wholeheartedly swallowed the Uki and Western propaganda and truly believed that the Russian military was unironically that incompetent is staggering to me.

I mean in all fairness the Taliban and the chads of Chad have quite the track record with old AKs and pickup trucks.

Russia really doesn't have to prove anything, though.

The best after-action report you can give starts with the phrase, "As the sole survivor of this incident, I can say without fear of contradiction..."

they really don't tbh
taliban never were an effective fighting force, just a persistent and annoying band of guerrillas

At the end of this there better be a couple of autistic books, like:

All's Quiet on the Up-vote Front
Johnny Got His Man-pad
The Tunnels of Gucci
The Slaughterhouse 5 Down-votes

I just call them foreign fighters

jannie-saries works great, a callback to the Turkish ones who were of sterner stuff than these.

"I didn't join to fight I joined to be a medic"

If I'm gonna throw myself into the grinder to protect an oligarchical shithole, I'm gonna want my adrenaline fix, and a chance to be half the badass Audie Murphy was.

If these volunteers/mercenaries whatever the fuck you want to call them, die, and they have life insurance, does that get paid out?

 

[Mr Processor]

Well if this is true and they are signing up for that tidy sum, they are technically mercenaries.

That reminds me of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly when Angel Eyes referred to $100 as a tidy sum... but in those days that was real money.

$230 a month to come home with missing limbs or in a box? Hopefully they really believe in... whatever it is they think they are fighting for in Ukraine.

 

[Wy4M]

The $2000 a day is based on this article and it's a US company who only offers this to experienced 'contractors' who already have seen some action:

So your average LARPER will be rejected by these US contractor companies and has to join the Ukrainian Volunteer Battalion and it seems indeed that they don't offer any money.
I even read that at first a volunteer had to pay them 1000$ before they could join but they dropped that requirement. (still need to verify so I might be bullshitting)

Like any redditor bozo has life insurance. If they did then there's probably some clause against putting yourself in a situation that will obviously result in death, like going to a war zone with zero training.

Kinda doubt that ever happened, what kinda of fuckin army do troops pay to get into? Unless this the 1700's and ya can buy a commission, pay Ukraine $40K and they'll make ya a major.

Last that I heard, antifa supports the Nazis in Ukraine and hate Putin.

Antifa hates whoever they are told too by the Democratic Party. It's not a big shocker.

The ass *is* sexualized now. E.g. sticking foreign objects up a victim's ass counts as rape in US federal crime statistics. This is the culture you and your children live in. If you live outside the cultural reach of "Western" porn, maybe you can run around naked swinging the family jewels and it won't count as indecent exposure. Hell, there are places where boys suck cock and it doesn't count as sexual. if you think people shouldn't be able to get away with child rape by claiming they culturally belong to some lost amazonian tribe, you shouldn't be hitting children on the ass, either.

I feel like there's a leap in logic between "Smacking on ass" and "Stuffing foreign object in anus".

I doubt it. Insurance doesn't cover damages caused by war.

Russia only has a war stockpile to support 1 month of light fighting?
