Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[CAPTAIN HAPPY]

The US has dumped astronomical amounts of time, money, and equipment into protecting Western Europe. The only reason Eurofags can afford their free healthcare, public transit, and gibsmedats is because Uncle Sam has been pulling security.

Boy you'll have break the astronomical barrier of all that spending once the Russian's start to push back the sanctions against your dumb ass lol
Here's a funny story though. The US spent untold amounts of money in Afghanistan for 2 decades, then lost everything in 20 days. It's funny because it shows how well you spend your money and what your security is worth.

That's been the whole postwar world order in a nutshell: "trade with America-sama, and we will protect you".

And guess what. This post war world order is toast, a new order is upon us and it doesn't want to share its spoils with anyone. So you do you, America, isolate your ass and see how many issues you can fix before your system gets replaced.

If you have bad guys that you want us to go fuck up, just say so. We will do it our way. If the threat to you is neutralized, then you have no reason to cry about how it was neutralized.

America does something? Bro, after wasting so much time in this pig's ass of a thread full of literal negro brained dumbasses, I don't think it's even worth to ask America for help anymore. You guys are all literal faglords, be it troons on the left or reactionary pussies on the right. Fuck you. Seriously, don't help, you do you, go on and be great. Everything is definitelly going to be fine.

Precisely. Wargames are supposed to detect flaws and shortcomings. Underestimate yourself, and overestimate your enemy. Hubris is how you get Russia's current clownshow, or Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign.

Or Biden's Afghan disappearing act. The more you think about it, the more of a joke the US military actual becomes alike the Russians are doing right now.

It seems as though the Russians used the last of their ammunition to eliminate the Ukrainian fuel supply. I'm too dumb to know exactly what this means strategically, but I'm guessing it's hard to fuel up a column of APCs at the local gas station, so this would mean Ukrainian troops are more or less stuck in place. Also more redditors died lol.

Also impressive is that Russian air forces blew up a bunch of shit last night. The BBC has been telling me that Russian planes and helicopters are unable to operate because Ukrainian air defenses are too effective. I'm shocked and offended that British media would just lie like that.

 

[Getting tard comed]

Have the Russians been proven liars yet? Like said something that is verifiable false from a neutral/video source?

Also.. has anyone explained why Ukraine needs a no fly zone over it since Russia doesn't have air supremecy much less air superiority and the Ukies have the Ghost of Kiev + surface to air missiles that are wrecking all the Russian planes? Why is this necessary? The Ukies are winning! Right guys?...

Right guys?

I hate to break it to you, but we never promised to protect them. We offered them "security assurances" in the form of bringing any potential hostilities to the attention of the U.N. Security Council (of which Russia is a permanent member with veto powers, so that won't do shit with Russia as the aggressor) and consult with impacted members (the latter is being done). That's it.

Political coward talk. That's how they get ya and you get to take their nukes away tho.

People should really read it before making stupid claims, the relevant part is literally just 5 bullet points.

The average slav retard doesn't care about bullet points. Ask any Ukrainian today about that shit that "ooga booga we never promised to protect you" they'll call you a backstabing faggot and the second worst thing behind Russia. That's literally what the rest of Europe will think about America from now on too.

As a further aside, agreements involving the executive branch don't mean shit since the executive branch doesn't have unilateral powers to bind us to any foreign agreements. That shit has to be ratified by the senate, and foreign powers are very fucking aware of that.

That's just more political talk to buy out an excuse solely for yourself.

Replaced domestically or internationally?

Both.

 

[TurkishOreo]

Hard to believe that one man who shits himself and his crackheaded son are in charge of a country.

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

What part is that? Taking Ukraine's nukes with a promise to protect it if shit hits the fan,

Looks like we're providing aid and protection beyond the agreement.

then fucking off to train your military in nail polish techniques

Better that than having them defend Europe more while Europe spends money on housing for rape gangs.

I'd rather have them doing nail polish and giving each other pedicures than spend one more fucking dime or drop of blood defending assholes who won't defend themselves.

in between sending in a CIA or two to topple the government,

Like MI6, the Mossad, and everyone else?

Stop acting like America is the only country in the history of the world to do this. Ask the Dutch about destabilizing countries. Ask France about the obscene amounts of money they get from Africa.

then acting like a bitch when a war happens just to say it's not your business anymore?

It was NEVER our business.

Good job, faggot. Took a shit everywhere then fucked off to your ivory cardboard suburb to smoke weed and watch porn. It's the American way indeed.

Maybe we're just sick of spending blood and money to protect faggots who can't even make their NATO obligations or carry out a bombing campaign for longer than 2 weeks before asking us for money and munitions.

We need to stop being everyone else's piggy bank and line of defense.

Fuck you, defend your own territory, pay your own shit.

Fucking Eurofags think we should just jump into Ukraine with a knife between our teeth and start fighting everyone, but cry about mudders and fuckwads and hold protests and talk all about how mean the US is.

You want the Ukraine settled? Have your fucking countries do it. Fuck off and leave us alone and let us fix our shit.

Because if we go down, we'll take Europe with us.

Which is even more amusing since all this shit was exported by Europe in the 60's and 70's into our academia and now is fucking them in the ass.

 

[CAPTAIN HAPPY]

Hard to believe that one man who shits himself and his crackheaded son are in charge of a country.

The most popular candidate in the most secure election too. Obama was right.
"Joe Biden is a competent guy and he would ever fuck anything up ever ever."

 

[NynchLiggers]

Have the Russians been proven liars yet?

Well they once claimed they took over a area but it was later verified as a lie.
The Ukros did shit like this multiple times tho.

Hand it to the Ukes, they put up more of a fight holding onto surplus Javelins and soviet era weapons than the Iraqi's with modern American weaponry and training. Any Amerishart who continues to brag about how great American millitary is should be reminded that goatfuckers now have modern armaments thanks to them.

I lost my sides when I saw goatherders armed with American carbines.

 

[Stoneheart]

The numbers are likely higher than stated. It’s really a question of just how high.

those are "soldiers" maybe they dont count militia units in those numbers.

 

[CAPTAIN HAPPY]

lol

Yeah. Especially those in Eastern Europe. Did you hear how they opened their borders near Belarus and let everyone in with a free rape pass? It's was very brave and beautiful.

I'd rather have them doing nail polish and giving each other pedicures than spend one more fucking dime or drop of blood defending assholes who won't defend themselves.

Guess who's paying for the nail polish?

Like MI6, the Mossad, and everyone else?

Won't speak for the MI6, but guess who pays part of Mossad's salary?

Stop acting like America is the only country in the history of the world to do this. Ask the Dutch about destabilizing countries. Ask France about the obscene amounts of money they get from Africa.

I don't give a fuck about the Dutch, the Assyrian Empire or the Aztecs. Ukraine is being invaded by Russia right now and American though and prayers won't be enough to end this shit. But I'll just reiterate, all you isolationist motherfuckers keep doing what you do, nothing. Live by your word and just smile when anyone rightfully calls you a coward.

It was NEVER our business.

Sure. America never got involved in geopolitics ever at all.

Maybe we're just sick

Fuck this.
I'm not even going to read your gay ass pain.
Fuck off. Go fuck off to your nigger infested hood and stay there doing nothing. Nobody cares about your aid, just remain bitch faggot cowards who can't take care of their own business and don't mind me at all.

Thanks, just curious why people refuse to believe Russia's MoD casualty numbers but continue to believe(or even worse, say it's somewhere in the middle) Ukraines numbers when Ukraine has lied about everything.

I wonder which goes first. The situation internationally or domestically?

 

[Getting tard comed]

Please ignore the MoD telling the world most of the ground forces are the DNP and LNP. Putin has sent in his personal guard for this invasion and they are getting their shit pushed in.

I mean, Russia is attacking Europe first, not Alaska.

I never said we were *not* an empire in its sunset years. I was saying the rest of the world needs to make up its mind on whether it wants us to be GloboCops. If you want us to get shit done, then you can't cry about petty things like Eddie Gallagher or GITMO.

Don't care.
Fuck off to your Disneyland pedophile camp or whatever the fuck and stay there while the rest of the world burns down or learns to live without you gay fucks.

I still can't get over the absolutely bananas number of Javelins. RPGs I could understand but if he Javelin was as effective as advertised Ruskies would be on horseback by now.

Basing this on absolutely nothing but my imagination, I'm guessing the Javelin has issues hitting moving targets outside of a particular range. The missile drops in from above, so it complicates the trajectory. Even if it is moving fast, once it's fired it's fired, you can't redraw the initial arc determined by the initial telemetry computer.

If it was intended to hit moving targets it's got to have some kind of tracking, and with the speed it's moving at it'll have to be something foolproof, robust and quick, so it's likely not optical. Maybe heat/radar signatures? It could be possible that it picks the wrong targets (an already burning buhanka would light up the sensors more than an intact BMP)

Firing at too close a range would rely too much on the initial telemetry readings and not give the onboard tracking time to work or correct, too far a range would risk false positives as the onboard sensors make more decisions.

They've probably used Javelins on everything with wheels, perhaps even bipedals. They've been ocasionally used against people during the GWOT simply because it has the precision and range to hit someone your rifle can't. I can see Ukrainians desperately firing the missiles left and right and hoping for the tap to not run out.
The trajectory is constantly updated, there's a seeker in the tip of the missile, and it is indeed optical. I don't know what kind of algorithm is used but the "pure" heat seeking of older air to air missiles is quite outdated, the Javelin uses an actual staring array that should look more like the thermal footage from a drone and the outline of the vehicles is well defined. Depending on how much computing power you have available, it's possible for the tracker to use edge detection to always remember the outline of the vehicle, perhaps even store information about the number of wheels and the type of turret.
There's always malfunctions and it's extremely difficult to erase that part of the equation, but I'm sure they're firing Javelins at targets that are not as juicy as tanks, and the lack of training is leading them to do things like fire them from bad positions where the missile's own seeker can be obscured by dense trees or buildings while the shooter has a direct line of sight to the target from his launcher unit.

Must be frustrating as hell for Brit bobbys to see all the potentially lethal bike rims and shards of glass everywhere.
Can't be easy to resist screaming, "OY, WHERES YUR LOICENCES FOR THAT RUBBLE?!"
