Spanish Antifa from Galicia has entered the chat. We 1939 again!
Apparently there are Spanish Antifa brigades in the Donbass.

Surely you wouldn't need to carry x number of ~50lb Javelin packages, right? Are the Control Units not reusable? The missile/tube assembly itself is only around 35lbs.
Perhaps there's something I'm missing about them (Other than the opportunity cost of not being able to fire all your javelins at once if you haven't got a control unit for each one).
Either way, I don't see how it's terribly suspect that the Hohols might have brought Javelins to Snake island, they do have rather a lot of them.

All those FSB agents rotting in the subbasement of Lefortovo and the Ukraine brief being taken from the FSB and given to the GRU and the chief of staff taking direct personal command of the war from the field officers recently certainly suggests Russia is satisfied with its performanceIdk, I told the Russians it was a dumb idea to invade, but they didn't listen to my thinkpieces on Kiwi Farms.
Since they screwed the optics and went in anyway, they can't afford to "lose" this war. The West has upped the stakes to make it an existential fight for the Russian government, and maybe the territorial integrity of the country itself. At a minimum, Putin will be Putout if he can't come up with a convincing "victory".
Yet Russia seems to be content with what they've been doing so far. They haven't done a general mobilization, they don't appear to have substantially increased their troop numbers, they haven't pulled Belarus into the fighting, they haven't obliterated Kiev. They could do any or all these things, but they've chosen not to.
Logically, therefore, the Russian Ministry of Defense must think it's achieving its aims, whatever they really are. Otoh the US demanded an immediate ceasefire recently, which doesn't sound like the kind of thing you do when you're about to crush your enemy, and Ukraine + Western sponsors have been furiously trying to spin the surrender of Astoval as another glorious victory for Hoholdom.
The map is not the territory. WW1 had pretty static lines, but that doesn't mean there weren't clear winners and losers by the end, tho idk why anybody would want to refight WW1. From the start everything Russia did was "wrong" from the POV of Western military doctrine, but they persist in doing those things, so it's possible Russia was telling the truth that they see this as a "special military operation", and it's possible they're not lying when they claim that - from their perspective - they feel like they're achieving their objectives.
Or that the old NKVD/KGB-MVD vs Red Army rivalry is still alive and well in post Soviet Russia

>only around 35lbs
That's a lot to lug around, though I'm also assuming Ukies are walking mile after mile.
That said I agree they have a ton of them and it's not surprising one ends up anywhere at this point.

Yeah, I'm just assuming someone is bringing control unit plus a tube and someone else carries extra tubes. It's totally normal to have a dedicated AT gunner while someone else acts as ammo bearer, as there's usually no need to fire them all simultaneously except during ambushes.
It's just that even if we split the load and one guy carries the control unit and another carries the tube, that's one guy carrying the equivalent of the weight of an AT-4, and another guy carrying two. Three unguided shots for the weight of one guided Jav. And if they still have M72s/RPG-22s those are around 6lbs each.
I can see the justification for it if the purpose was fending off boats carrying troops, but not much else. Even with warehouses full of Javs I'd rather leave them home.

The Carlos Palomino Brigade was disbanded/inactive by late 2015 (and they may have only been in the Donbas for 2 months, though I can't confirm that) and as far as I know, the "brigade" was around 10 people that Igor Strelkov just merged into the Vostok Batallion. It's pretty funny that these morons fought alongside the Rusich Company, unironic Chetniks and basically every other DPR brigade which were full to the brim of far-right individuals and straight up neo-nazis, proving that no matter what they do, communists are fucking retarded.
The members of the CLB were also arrested & jailed when they returned to Spain.

Well, I'm saying "Only" 35lbs as a comparison with the Stinger and Piorun. It's definitely a lot to lug around, but I'm just speaking relative to lugging around either of those two.

To powerlevel, about half the time I go hiking (when I take trails that don't go up and down hills a lot) I stick a 20 pound free weight in my backpack, plus multiple big ass water bottles... it's somewhere close to 30 pounds all told, and it ain't light especially once you're 7-8 miles in

That explains the mug. I bet its some bootleg shit too. Good catch.
Dvach made a funny:

Why is a javelin on the island surprising somehow? Not like they didn't have transport bringing them. What's the argument, that they had swam there carring one?

How killing their own countrymen is based, dumbass?

That is reasonable enough. If Russia is achieving her objectives then there is no issue with her invasion. However, the whole point of this was to push Russia's frontiers farther away from her heartland. Maybe that's the long term goal, history will tell usIdk, I told the Russians it was a dumb idea to invade, but they didn't listen to my thinkpieces on Kiwi Farms.

I don't know where did you have heard this but that's not particular truth. Russia's official goal was literally bleeding out the Ukrainian army, get rid of neo-nazi batallions/regiments such as "azov" and "right sector". Also to make sure Ukraine to become absolute buffer zone between Russians and NATO thugs.
How are you confused about it? The guy just had it on him. He might have had a business card for an electrician in New Jersey. Why are you looking for meaning in the something that has no meaning.I am confused on the passport card ending up in that shithole, since when I remember applying for passport renewal, iirc a card can't be used for international travel and seems I am right lol.
Apply for a Passport Card
Difference between a U.S. passport book and passport cardtravel.state.gov
Turks really have an obsession with killing Kurds.
The guy applied for and paid for a passport card. The guy put it in his wallet. He traveled to Ukrainistan on his regular passport. He gets killed and they open up his wallet and bingo passport card. No meaning other than a form of ID.
Everyone in the region has an obsession with killing Kurds.
