Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[TurdFondler]

The shoah was the single worst atrocity to happen to anyone, ever, in this or any timeline. Simply inconceivable that anything should ever rival the 6 60 6000 6x10^5 60x10^70 Million Jews massacred overnight in 1942

Been seeing a lot of UXOs over the course of this war, Russians fucking suck at maintaining explosives.

Ah they only protest war when then opposition is in power. When they do it, it's good and wonderful. Just look at the support for Libya, or the reaction when Trump wanted to pull out of Syria.

Or the lack of care about Yemen, which surprised a lot of staunch anti-war people, since the war is being fought with weapons Trump sold to the Saudis.

Somebody should probably tell them that the current political regime of Ukraine is building monuments to Third Reich Colarabotinists, of all people. It's so retarded that I can't even wrap my head around it. If Urkanians wanted a truly sovereign and tots valid national figure, they could use Nestor Makhno. He was fighting Russian communists and monarchists and was that rare breed of anarchist that was actually cool.
All that shows that liberals are going to suck devils' cock at the moment it becomes even slightly profitable.

BTR-4 destroys 2 (possibly abandoned) T-72s with 30mm cannon fire.

Why are these always shot with a dutch angle, anyway?

 

[Kane Lives]

You know, all this talk of Javelins and NLAWs made me wonder. Do the Russians have their own version? I don't seem to recall anything about their infantry using heavy weapons to take out armoured vehicles. (Maybe they don't need to, given the armour disparity but still).

After the Holodomor, when the Nazis showed up in 1940 you would have collaborated against the soviets too.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion from the footage alone; there's a lot of fucking munitions being fired, UXO is going to happen. Instead, I'm going to jump to that conclusion on the grounds that they've been shit at maintaining everything else.

Because it's being taken off of the gunner's helmet cam.

They have the RPG, but honestly outside their parachute regiments Russia doesn't field alot of light infantry so they've never really felt the need for some high tech tank killer that can be carried by dismounted troops.

I bet the Russians are planning for the Belarussian army to attack western Ukraine to not just hamper the arrival of western help but also to overstretch the already limited resources and professional forces of the Ukrainian military.

Resources and men that are desperately needed in Eastern Ukraine.

The Belarussian Army is even more of a basket case then the Russian one. I doubt they will get far.

No, I would not, as the Kazakhs did not, who are forgotten by clowns worshipping the holy Holodomor. For some reason, when discussing how the Soviet authorities purposefully starved Ukrainians, they don't mention that in 1897, 3.5 million Kazakhs made up 82% of the region's population; by 1939, only 2.3 million remained, and their share of the republic's population fell to 38%.At the time, relative losses from the famine of 1932–1933 in Ukraine were 12.92%. And for some reason, Central Asians managed not to make deals with the Nazis and not to kill people on an ethnic basis.

Stop mistaking horrific incompetence with malice and stop capitalizing on tragedy.

Understandable but what did Poland have to do with the Soviets? Cause you know those "Nazi collaborators" decided to go to Poland and start killing them.

Huh, I guess they never embraced the western approach to allowing their infantry to potentially also be tank killers. IIRC the Soviets didn't really develop a rocket-propelled AT weapon for their infantry till like the 50s.

Also, apparently there are still PTRD AT rifles being used by the Donbas militia, of World War 2 vintage no less too. Madlads.

Far against what? Ukraine has already committed the overwhelming majority of its forces. Though granted I do doubt they would try to press deep into the territory if they did launch an attack.

Partisans, maybe. Or their still being trained conscript army?

They copied the German weapons and were issuing early rpgs before the end of ww2.

Edit;
those PTRDs are there because Russia stores everything. They're basically the national equivalent of hoarders with weapons. They hold onto everything in the off chance they may need it again, or to distribute to various movements. That PTRD might be old and outdated, but it will still ruin a lightly armored vehicles day, not to mention targets behind light cover.

They also stole a German motorcycle factory, gotta get good tech somehow, and starving potato chuckers sure ain't building your rocket/jet technology either. America and Russia really should be thanking the Germans for inventing the technology to escape this brown shithole of a planet one day.

Rofl Germans copied our shit as well. All their rocket development built off of American work pioneered by Goddard. Oh and their anti tank rockets? Bazooka copies.

as the Kazakhs did not

never even had the opportunity cause germans never made it anywhere near kazakhstan
