lol I can't believe you stupid niggers are still coping with this "false flag" shit

Ukraine wouldn't kill 50 of their own people. They have no reason to. The west and (most) of the entire world is already taking their side. There's no reason to risk it by pulling stupid gay ops on women and children

Plus Russia has already proven multiple times that they're 100% willing to indiscriminately fire on civilian infrastructure and non-combatants. The evidence is overwhelming. If you still believe the Russian narritive this far into the war then you're probably teetering on lolcowdom yourself. Their word is worth nothing after they pinky promised to not invade nor that they would be sending conscripts into the fight.

And I feel really good about my tax dollars going to Ukraine, actually. This is the first time in years I can say I'm proud of the actions of my country. We Americunts already have an absurd amount of our money wasted on the military; Might as well put it to good use
America prefers to use its tax dollars to win wars militarily then lose them politically slowly over a decade or two
 
If you think the sanctions will have the intended effect you might be the biggest retard in this forum. Why would Putin want to back out when he was proven right in his “us vs them” mentality? When they submitted in the 90s their economy was fucked over by oligarchs collaboration with western companies to squeeze as much out of people in a vulnerable state. Such an arrogant statement makes you sound like a butthurt toilet cleaner.

Fraid as the weaker power compared to.....well quite a few countries in NATO now....that by the standards of A&H russia is actling like a retarded cuck for trying to resist and have any sovereignty, so the US and friends are entirely morally justified in grinding them into the dirt so bad the 90s will look like the gilded age.

By refusing to just sensibly surrender like he should, Putin is sacrificing his own people and thus serves the eternal juden. Might after all, makes right :)

Also fucking lol at the whole "why you no be nice? why you buwwy wussia?" reddit sob story you linked. Always nice to see how quickly the russia stronk masturbation gives way to tearful demands for mercy and hugs the moment they start feeling the consequences of their actions.
 
I've been thinking they probably aren't that great of an option, I was just curious to see if they'd been deployed. I know the US tried it on the m551, and they haven't tried it since. Russiaboos seemed to really brag them up before this war, but I can't recall a single time they actually have been used.
Even the tank that was primarily designed to use them (T-80) can only hold a max of 4 ATGMs in the autoloader. Doctrinally, they were only intended to be used as a kinda last ditch self-defense method against scenarios where the tank is without AA cover and is facing an attack helicopter, or is facing an ATGM-equipped threat that is just beyond the range of its shells, but not beyond the range of ATGMs. So, they're really more of a situational "Oh shit!" backup in a doctrine sense, in the cases where they don't have AAs and BMPs to take care of the respective threats to the armored column.

Combine that with the previously mentioned risk of exploding while loading or when firing, they end up generally not even loaded, especially when the fighting has been mostly urban.

"From this moment on, you are prisoners of war of the joint grouping of the forces of the Russian Federation and the DPR. You are required to fulfill all the requirements."

Mariupol. Footage of captured Ukrainian servicemen.

Among them were, among others, officers and sailors. They checked everyone's documents, then put them on buses.
 
How about you fly to Kiev and join the Ukrainian Foreign Legion if you're so proud. Otherwise you sound like some faggot who's bragging that his money is used to kill people halfway across the world.
I am proud that my money is used to kill Russians halfway around the world. I enjoy that it makes faggots seethe and wish I were dead because they're desperate and clutching for any 'win' they can get

So you're okay eating tree bark, warming your house by burning old cow patties, and cleaning German toilets, all just to stick it to Russia? I must give credit to your nation's propaganda agency if that's the case.
 
"Australian Associated Press: Australia will send 20 Bushmaster armoured vehicles worth $50 million to Ukraine following a direct request from President Volodymyr Zelenskiy during his address to parliament last week."

I know this has been posted before but dammit, 50 million bucks for 20 vehicles; that's 2.5 million for just one vehicle.
Ngl, if I was an Ukrainian I would ask a Porsche 911 instead and keep the rest of the money. Double win!
 
Wat? Russian GLATGMs are much lower pressure than their regular shells. They can even be fired from the 2A70 of the BMP-3 which is a glorified mortar
IIRC the risk was never because of overpressure, it was because the ATGMs use a solid propellant which when combined with the generally rough handling of the autoloader and possible high internal barrel heat could lead to some explosive consequences. This is a vague memory of mine, so if this is just some misremembered fuddlore kicking around in my head, I wouldn't be surprised.

For context, the T-80 autoloader:

Vs how the BMP-3 autoloader loads a missile:

BMP-3s autoloader seems a lot more conducive to safely loading the more highly-explosive and heat+shock sensitive solid-propellant missiles.

Lol, DP-27 goes BRRRRT once and there go 2.5m of Aussie taxpayer money.
 
"Mariupol: Ukrainian armed formations surrender, including sailors and officers. After checking the documents, they are put on the bus. The Russians are calm, no one beats or kills Ukrainian prisoners. A wounded prisoner is helped by a Russian soldier to get on the bus."

Genuinely happy for these guys.
