Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[draggs]

>The myth of the tank as useless in urban warfare died in Iraq for those who aren't ignorant retards

That isn't urban warfare, it's a road out in the open.

A total of 23 M1A1s were damaged or destroyed during the war. Of the nine Abrams tanks destroyed, seven were destroyed by friendly fire, and two were purposely destroyed to prevent capture after being damaged. Some others took minor combat damage, with little effect on their operational readiness.

I paid close attention to the course of combat events in Iraq during the insurgency, Abrams tanks were used extensively and successfully throughout, both inside and outside major cities. They were used in Baghdad and its suburbs especially, and during al-Sadr's two uprisings.

Now please stop being a retarded and butthurt faggot ok

You really didn't. After the initial push, almost everything went over to wheeled Vicks and then MRAPs. You'd likely know this if you didn't sperg out on a lolcow farm all day and call people who don't agree with you shills.

Let's put the blame on this war, along with all loss of life, squarely where it belongs: Victoria Nuland, her Neocon husband and in-laws, and everyone who has been working with them to start unnecessary wars for their own financial benefit and their foreign policy/geopolitical objectives which are primarily to protect Israel.

Was that depleted uranium depleted armor any effective on the Abrams and is it true those uraniam depeleted 120mm rounds caused cancer within folks who handled that stuff?

 

[H. Bergeron]

The denial of Ukraine for the cluster attack (intended or not) is laughable:
"hurr durr we have no airforce this was done by Russia/rebels hurr false flag durr"

Really dumb, this will work for a day in western media, until the stupid masses are educated with the knowledge of ground-to-ground missiles carrying cluster ammunition.
If they were smart, they would claim something like:
"Yeah it was our missiles, but you see, it was shot down by the Russians. We wanted it to hit a military target farther away. So Russians bad, mkay?"
Which might actually be what happened, since apparently only parts of the missile hit the place where it did...

Nooo they go full retard like, again.

I dunno, The Ruskies call every attack on Ukranian civvies a false flag on their side. And people here believe that. And on twitter it is even worse.

The number of people who are shocked when horrible shit happens in a civil war. Or when horrible shit happens now. Civilians get fucked in wars. Which is why you don't start them because you are a paranoid bitch.

Maybe to both. None of the export models have it, so we can't really say based off their use. US losses have been to small to really say one way or the other. As to the cancer, the government won't release shit last I checked.

Had a nightmare about NYC bombed to shit like Kyiv.

Depleted uranium emits damn near no radiation. I guess it could cause cancer if you created a DP dilator and used it religiously, but I just don't see that happening. I don't even think you can pick up the radiation from it on a Geiger counter. It's basically just really dense and really hard which makes it good for AP purposes. It's actually even used for radiation shielding in some equipment. I used to have a DP slug, but I got drunk and gave it to someone.

Would be an improvement if most of it was reduced to rubble.

Some of the restaurants would be sad to lose, and maybe some of the historical stuff, but that's about it.

If the south was invaded, the KKK and black dudes would be fighting side by side in an instant. That is how these things work.

Good shitpost person, you really had me convinced that you are a retard.

Didn't a lot of them close during Covid?

the problem is not the radiation. Uran is very toxic for the body. its effect on human is like lead on steroids.

Yes and enough Mexican line cooks would survive that they could be re-opened minus the insufferable German or Frenchmen owners.

New York, Boston, Miami, Orlando, Washington, and every city on the west coast need to be nuked.

 

[Throwing Romans]

Gonna press a serious doubt on that one Chief.

Of course they would why wouldn't federal agents fight alongside niggers?

 

[Dom Cruise]

I say nightmare but I was like a passive observer, I never felt real afraid.

I was reminded of the 2003 video game Freedom Fighters and was listening to it's soundtrack, which is probably why I had that dream.

There's something weird going on with my subconscious lately though, I had a dream I was in this haunted house, opened the fridge and this rotting maggot like worm covered zombie popped out and grabbed me, but I never felt afraid like in a typical nightmare, again, it was like being an outside observer than "in the action" so to speak.

If you want to get Freudian I guess all the shit that has happened these last two years just have me feeling emotionally numb.

New York, Boston, Miami, Orlando, Washington, and every city on the west coast need to be nuked.

No, not Orlando! That's home to the Universal Studios Florida resort!
