Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[naaaaiiiiillllll!!!]

I just want a bot that robo-rates every post to A&N with a free complimentary moai.

This will have to do for now…

So they weren't using Instagram thots as crisis actors, planting bombs in playgrounds for photo ops, lying about everything, or preventing their own civilians from leaving cities so they can serve as meat shields? All for PR purposes because you braindead westerners eat that shit up.

First true thing you've said the entire thread.

 

[IamnottheNSA]

There absolutely are a huge number of Americans who think Russia is still communist. Heck, some boomers still call it the Soviet Union at times.

It's fucking retarded.

The amount of times I had to say "it's not the 80s anymore, grandpa" in response to that is getting embarrassing.

 

[Narcotics]

Apparently, it's possible that the mostly peaceful peacekeeping polish mission might have been rolled back due to usa not backing it up.
I asked the guy who said this for a source, he said he will look for it, so if he does send it i'll post it.

This thread is too long and gay and has too many worthless posts. The A&N thread is somehow worse. Can we make a third thread that’s literally just news articles and blogs?

Since we're posting memes now...

Sorry dude but this is just wrong - both in terms of the local EMP from a nuke deployed in atmosphere and in terms of a HEMP.

In terms of local EMP, the transistors in our cell phones and computers are tightly packed, which is why we have continually greater computing power in a smaller and smaller package.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law

The higher you are on the Moore's law curve, the MORE susceptible you are to EMP.

In order to harden your electronics against the local effects of EMP (say a nuke is dropped on your local city center), you unironically need computers built to 1970's specifications. Tightly packed transistors run a considerable risk of Single-event upsets. There's a very specific reason why our nuke silos use 1970s computes in a very specific configuration: loosely packed transistors and redundancy across the X and Y axes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-event_upset

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hardening

Regarding HEMP, the nuke interacts with earth's magnetic field and creates a geomagnetic storm that can last minutes. This geomagnetic storm induces a current in every power line. What happens when you spin a magnetic field around a wire? You get an electric current in that wire. What happens if there's already electrical current in that wire? The currents stack. We're talking the mother of all electrical surges in every electrical grid on earth. Absolutely everything that's plugged into any affected grid WILL fry my dude. There are miles of power lines for the magnetic storm to interact with.

So in the event of a nuclear exchange, does this fuck with any of the delivery systems? How do missiles in flight not get knocked out by this?

Supposedly this is Ukrainians staging atrocity propaganda.

That's old, boss. It's Covid propaganda from the early days of the outbreak.

That was being flashed around last year as Covid dead in NYC.

Hmm, the outfits don't look particularly American. The guy wearing something like Swiss or German camo, which is more common for Europe. It would be helpful if someone could identify the building in the background.

DAY 23!

I've got a clip saved somewhere claiming the guy smoking a dart was in NYC. I can check when I'm back around my actual computer.

EDIT: Found the tiktok here

Spoiler: video

Lol.

No.

First true thing you've said the entire thread.

Again, no one cares about your opinion. You spent an inordinate amount of time in this thread reposting ridiculous NATO propaganda and crying about posts that don't support your specific narrative. Maybe go outside for a little bit.

Because it's hard to stop an object already traveling at 15,000 mph.

The amount of times I had to say "it's not the 80s anymore, grandpa" in response to that is getting embarrassing.

I tried to explain this russia/ukraine stuff to an elderly aunt last week and why it was happening and I told her Putin wanted to get one of the members of the USSR back into russia. She asked me what the USSR was, and i was just dumbfounded. "commie USA" was about all i could come up with to help her understand. To her credit she did ask me why putin was doing what he was doing, it was more than just him being evil, and she knew she was being lied to to those cocksuckers on the news. She's not a dumb person at all, she just had no idea, she's pushing 80 so a touch of dementia could be at play too.

Hey I'm back. This thread still mostly pro-Putin? Whatever I don't care. I just hope you stop using the weird Russian and Chinese maps to get a sense of what is going on. The war is a slog and will not be over any time soon. Attrition warfare. Just bleeding each other until one side gives up or goes home. Sad.

Here's some stuff I found since I've been away an easy to understand tank recognition guide. It's a good way to verify for yourself who got merked in photos.
I'm sure it has been posted but the big crowdsourced abacus of equipment losses.
The OOB of the Russian Army prior to the war.
A handy video to tell where the vehicles involved came from, their army group basically, if you breezed through above.

Anyways, the redditors and pogues never made it anywhere. The boogs, trannies, and other dipshits got turned away. They are taking competent combat veterans only for the legions. Videos and twitter/reddit posts are either bullshit or sour grapes. The foreign legions are just outside Kyiv training, equipping, and organizing. The guys who got missilated were Ukie reservists being trained up by NATO people and the rear detachment of the 24th Mechanized Brigade. They were to be replacements for casualties in the field. It was their base that was hit.

Another neato thing I found is that the Ruskies invaded with a shitload of old gear. A lot. A lot a lot. T-72As and pre-89 T-72Bs and shit. These seem to be the gear mostly in units like the 90th Guards Tank Division that they stood up fairly recently (2016) and the militia goobers in the DNR/LPR. This makes me think that all the modern-ish shit already got doled out and they have a guy with a can of ether and a bank of deep cycles playing "will it start" with old unmodernized shit in storage and whatever fires gets doled out because fuckit it's their division's problem to keep these museum pieces running and able to do war stuff. Just a guess.

I will now leave you with my favorite meme because I haven't seen it posted.

Not unprecedented for the Russians to invade with old gear. It's kind of a doctrine for them because unlike the USA, they have a vast hostile border.

Even the US knows how to use old stuff when they can get away with it. Like the JDAM was invented to fit onto already existing Vietnam and even WW2 vintage bombs. Or all the vehicles that are built on old M60 Patton chassis. The British had utility and engineering vehicles built on WW2 era tanks used in the Gulf War. Or the Iowa classes in Vietnam were actually super effective at shelling the crap out of NVA positions near the DMZ. The NV actually put a specific condition in the withdrawal treaty that the Iowa classes be removed. B-52s still work great for pounding sandniggers and unlike a B-2, if one crashes, it will hardly be an intelligence coup.

But unlike the Russians, western militaries tend to use frontline equipment in their proxy wars.

 

[George Lucas]

Lol.

No.

Okay can we at least threadban the Ukrainian faggots and doomposters?

 

[No. 7 cat]

The art is somewhere on Twitter, some Portuguese or Brazilian posted it. It is notable that some tattooed larpers are holding on there despite somewhat intense bombardment (which actually makes it easier for the Avoz Batt as the soft facades are now on the ground and the hard concrete and cellar pits is all that's left).

Sorry, I know you just got embarrassed at your false flag bullshit again, so I'll just leave that there, only one raging here is you, bro.

But I gotta say, your Confession via Projection is top notch.

Also you can build an effective nuke with no modern electronics.
