To me he looks like the Amerimutt meme. I think he might be falling out a window soon as his organization is desperate enough to post heaps of their own dead to try to appeal for supplies and open Russia to more mockery from the internet.
their HEAT warheads are purpose built to penetrate thick metal armor. they will fuck up nearby infantry (like any big chunk of explosives will) but they're less effective at it than regular high explosive munitions of similar size would be
I can see the MIC making HE guided missiles (HEGM?) for future conflicts.
I also doubt that companies many of whom rely on sweatshop and even child labor would be particularly phased by warcrimes.
Sucks that it's often in terrible resolution, zigger bodypart puzzle became one of my favorite games as of late. I remember being fascinated with footage from Mariupol where Russian tank got hit by something and someone's torso with guts spilling out flew into the frame from somewhere else.
Ordnance with vodka-tracking sensors.
There are a couple out there, but I'm honestly surprised there aren't more. In a rare display of getting shit done in Iraq the British army rapidly bought and deployed the Exactor 2, basically just the Israeli Spike ATGM, although it does have alternate HE warheads. The only kinda downside is instead of being man portable it has to be mounted either on a trailer, or vehicle, and then called in by the squad using a designator, although honestly having to carry a designator instead of yet another hefty piece of kit could be considered a plus.
The stugna-p ATGM already has frag rounds for anti personnel, they aren't nearly as common though
It is also reported that on January 20, the Boeing company received a $40.5 million order to manufacture ammunition from the US Air Force within the existing contract. The work should be completed by June 30.
A bomb with a JDAM kit
Therefore, it is likely that the United States and Ukraine have developed a method of launching JDAMs from Ukrainian air force aircraft.
JDAMs are GPS technology-based hardware kits that convert simple free-falling bombs into all-weather guided ammunition.
The kit includes an inertial navigation system and GPS receiver to improve accuracy, along with the small wings attached to the middle of the bomb and a tail unit with a controlled tail that allows the bomb to adjust its course while approaching the target. The unit contains navigation and other equipment.
That would be a sweet new EU flag tho much better then the blue flag with gold/yellow stars.
Pretty much, Nafo faggots online "we need to optically check Azoz and etc..., I don't like the symbols they're using."
Yep not also that but where Steven Spielberg films make this swastika out to be some unreasonable symbol of evil the eastern European types know it keeps commies and Russians away.
I was going to say that Wagners "Dead Vatnigger Storage" was one of the most horrifying things I've seen awhile, but somehow the image of a teenage zoomer dropping high explosive into a fox hole using what looks like a nintendo switch just fills me with more existential dread then a literal pile of corpses.
For soft targets you want an elevated burst with lots of shrapnel.
Sort of.
And they say the Switch can't do good graphics
Are you unaware of the existence of Days of RuinAnd they say the Switch can't do good graphics
Doing a dark and gritty Advance Wars reboot is certainly not a choice I foresaw from Nintendo.

The euro fails as even a regional currency. Because it has no central monetary policy. Remember When Portugal, Italy, greece and Ireland were going bankrupt a few years back. It was because they no longer had the ability to set any national monetary policies. So what would have been a minor economic dip, easily managed via adjustments to interest rates and a slight inflation, was blocked because Germany could never allow such things! With the result being a minor slump became a catastrophic economic crash. In the same way the Chinese Yuan has been artificially hard pegged by China to the dollar. The moment they unpeg it in an attempt to shift it to being an international reserve currency their currency and economy goes into free fall and the entire house of cards unwinds.
Some of Zeihans takes aren't that good. I don't think he is part of it. It's more likely he is just wrong or he is saying stuff to keep his job. Like towing the party line. Saying what he needs to survive. Remember that is a thing these days. If you say the wrong things they will ruin your life. His take on electric cars is pretty good. He said it's decades away from being viable. Like 20-30 years away. he also says globalism is dying. He doesn't seem to be a big fan of Biden and doesn't seem to like Trump very much. But he doesn't openly express his dislike of Biden other than a few phrases.
This isn't that new for Russia. Start or get involved in a war. Mismanage said war and get a lot of your people killed. The disgruntled soldiers come back home and make trouble for the government. This is what happened in WW1. It's part of how they ended up with Communism.
Biden will never pull suppprt for Ukraine. He is part of DC political establishment. Now Trump could possibly do that or cut it in half. I don't see complete abandonment of Ukraine by a Trump presidency. Ukraine wouldn't have some of the stuff they were using in the early days of the war without Trumps involvement.

People aren't doing it because guided missiles are expensive and its a bit of a waste to use them on infantry, especially dug-in infantry that isn't going anywhere. IIRC a single Javelin costs more than one of those GPS nose fuses for artillery shells and has less "fuck you" potential towards infantry, so... not the most cost-effective or even most powerful option there. Especially since every anti-personnel Javelin you carry is one less anti-tank Javelin you carry, and considering how heavy those missiles are that's not a good idea. Something like SMAW that's a US version of the RPG-7 or the freaking LAW is a much better and lighter choice since infantry tend not to be moving targets like tanks are. That, and you typically build those sorts of hardpoints in rough terrain where Javelin's range won't be able to be used since it is technically a direct-fire weapon on account of the firer needing to personally observe the target. Hence the trailer missile, where it can be fired on a ballistic arc over said terrain before homing in on the designator.
For all the shit the US Fed gets up to with currency bullshit, China is far, far worse with theirs.
The US economy is fake and heavily dependent on people with credit and government social programs keeping it afloat. The US economy is fake but the Chinese economy is even more fake than the US economy. Somehow the commie chinks managed to out fake the US. It's all fake unsustainable bullshit. The Chinese depend on Americans buying the stuff that is made over there and US consumerism has been declining for decade or so now. That's why you see all the brick and mortar stores and malls closing. The number of people with excess money to spend on cheaply made overpriced Chinese junk is falling like a rock. Boomers are retiring and getting old so their spending is falling off. The Boomers and Gen X people that had credit cards in the 90's early mid and late 2000's have already used them all up. That's was one of the issues that caused the Great Recession in the late 2000's. The Millennials have always been poor and couldn't afford to buy anything. That isn't about to change with Zoomers. They will also be dirt poor and won't buy anything. So all you have left for consumers is benefit scroungers.
