Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Spicey McHaggis]

I disagree. Imo China peaked 8ish years ago. They had the most influence when they had the good will of investors who were high on their cooked books. China did not develop nearly as much as Japan has and is on the precipe of a demographic catastrophe.

In terms of war, their fleet is underdeveloped and more importantly made in China. Even if they could successfully launch and sustain a maritime invasion, they don’t have enough force projection to protect their merchant fleet from allied subs. They also depend on Australian coal and American food. More importantly, the West buys most of their crap. This isn’t Mao’s China in which they could suffer catastrophic casualties without blinking. Now each son killed is the end of several families and their retirement.

Funny enough I don’t think Taiwan/the US is their greatest threat but rather the Indians. Many Indian nationalists have been chomping at the bit. More importantly India is a younger country that’s still growing. They can field more soldiers and their economy will eclipse China’s and America’s.

A full scale India China conflict would be very interesting. The mountain fighting would be extensive, as would the naval battles. Pakistan would also be a wild card.

The biggest take away from this war is Light Infantry is back in style. The amount of damage a bunch of vatniks hauling a few missile launchers around are able to do is off the charts. Everything from blowing up tanks to shooting down fighter aircraft. Combine that with squad deployable drones as well. Yikes.

Wouldn't put too many eggs on that basket tho, as mentioned many times before in the thread there's a big difference between shitty old soviet tanks and the Abrams, USA military saw the danger in sending tanks to troops wielding RPGs in Afghanistan and in a team up with the jews came up with the APS precisely so they wouldn't loose trillion dollar tanks to a goat fucker with an shitty old soviet RPG.
So while light infantry equipped with Javelins has proven to be very effective, actual modern tanks (and Russia is developing those too) are being designed with Javelins and drones in mind
The only reason i can think off as to why Putin sent his troops to die in century old tin coffins is that they just wanted to get rid of them to make space for the Russian Abram counterparts

I’ve always kinda assumed Pakistan would side with China against India.

It's long passed time we had a Leyte Gulf-tier battle.

It's more a if they get involved question over whose side they join question. I think that conflict would be almost guaranteed to go nuclear if all three are involved, even if its just tactical use.

True, though China cannot be happy about this. Their entire invasion plan hinges on localized supremacy on the beach head. But Ukraine has been happily lobbing these light infantry missiles at warships as much as at tanks and helicopters. It's changed the entire paradigm for the Taiwan invasion because China was banking on air superiority and the ability to land equipment to overwhelm Taiwans largely infantry based army.

So I think the theory that this ear will embolden China for a potential attack on Taiwan may not be right. I'm thinking that if anything, they will be inclined to hit some of the disputed turf in the south China sea. The forces there are much weaker than Taiwans, and it would build experience in amphibious operations. There's also less risk of war with the US, or risks of serious trade disruption.

 

[RainwaterDrop]

Yes, easily. The main thing that people forget is that the anti ship ballistic missile meme is just that, a meme. They’re great in concept but there is no way in hell they’re actively guided on reentry. Chinese talk mad shit but they can’t project naval power worth a damn.

Precisely. Besides, amphibious landings are one of the most difficult military operations to pull off. The buildup would be visible for weeks, if not months so the U.S. and Taiwan wouldn't be caught by a surprise attack, China is currently surrounded by not only U.S. allies like Japan and South Korea but also countries that hate their guts, like Vietnam. An attack on Taiwan right now would be suicidal, down the road it becomes merely a colossally bloody affair at least!

The biggest take away from this war is Light Infantry is back in style. The amount of damage a bunch of vatniks hauling a few missile launchers around are able to do is off the charts. Everything from blowing up tanks to shooting down fighter aircraft. Combine that with squad deployable drones as well. Yikes.

And Drone Warfare is hotter than ever, this was known after the Nagorno-Karabakh War in 2020, but this time it's more intense, not to mention more widely monitored. Russian supply lines keep getting fucked by the drones, and every truck they lose is one less shipment of supplies arriving on the front. This is quickly stacking up to the point where this war is already unsustainable without factoring in the heavy casualties that will come from their retreats and the maneuvering of forces to the other fronts!

It's more a if they get involved question over whose side they join question. I think that conflict would be almost guaranteed to go nuclear if all three are involved, even if its just tactical use.

While India isn't an U.S. ally, they really, really hate China. And it's mutual. They loathe Pakistan, and their rocky relationship with the U.S. comes in part from how close they are to Pakistan (how much of a shit that alliance is worth considering they are even more friendly with China is another matter), but if push comes to shove it's crystal clear that India and the U.S. will be on the same side of the trenches. The problem is, as you precisely mentioned, that this conflict would likely begin with bombs, missiles and rockets and end with rocks, salvage and sticks!

Taiwan was always a sure stalemate tho, while loosing Ukraine would be a blow to Washington gargantuan ego its nothing they really need which is why they've been slowing down on the chickenhawkering as not enough people bought into the war.
Chips are something California can't make as good or fast as Taiwan tho so until the plans for mass producing chips in the USA gets to actual production you can count on the USA being way more willing to fight for Taiwan than Ukraine.

Oh I know, that's why I said I think they would be more likely to go after disputed islands in the south China sea. A great many of them are currently in possession of countries that aren't us allies, so there's less risk to China of the US getting involved.

 

[DumbDude42]

Does anyone here really care about the nazi LARPing?

vatniks do
actually i think even they dont give much of a fuck about ukies larping with their black sun flags and wolfsangel patches, but they have to pretend like they care, because it's the only possible way for them to frame this war as righteous and just, without having to admit that it's really just a simple war of conquest
