Russian Special Military Operation in the Ukraine - Mark IV: The Partitioning of Discussion

[Stoneheart]

It's an Abrams. The cut-out over the drive sprocket has a rounded corner, the storage compartments on the side of the turret are the same as the abrams pic, you can see the side angle of the turret armour is a straight slope compared to the complex shape of the leo, and also has an upward curve on the bottom at the front, where the leo is parallel to the tank body. You can also see the large, round rear light shields.

Well those only could be polish leo 2s anyway so they would look alot more blocky.

As much as the Wagnerites prove to be more efficient than the regulars, the reply is common to most "warlord"-style formations during trying times: they're more flexible, they have more motivated officers and troops, they're easier to employ and "spend", their command and logistics function more on personal charisma and connections than standard bureaucracy.... Wagner isn't particularly special in this regard, history is littered with similar formations (from the Tiger Forces of Syrian heritage to some of the SS formations or the X MAS of WW2 fame).

The bad thing is, they're a symptom of .... problems. When your most efficient troops are those that aren't managed directly by the State this means the State has failed to properly train, equip and tard wrangle the Army. This means personal politics become even more important than battlefield performance, and often cause infighting. Recruit drain and resource drain as more successful warlord groups get prioritized above regulars and recruits flock to them. Warlord armies are sometimes efficient and I do not honestly believe that history repeats itself, but they're often the sign of something not working as it should.

Is this the process that created feudalism?

Wagner captures east Bakhmut

Fire put out at Russian oil depot after drone seen overhead - RIA

Emergency services put out a fire at an oil depot in southern Russia overnight after a drone was spotted flying overhead, the RIA news agency said on Tuesday.

www.reuters.com

Ukraine has launched mass drone attacks on the Russian mainland, as far north as St Petersburg

Having left 30,000 troops to the mercies of Wagner in Bakhmut the Ukrainians are keen to convince their donors that they're still in the game. Unfortunately most of the drones were shot down with only one hitting it's target and the damage seems to be light. Poor fuckers can't catch a break at the moment.

When I say mass drone attacks there were maybe half dozen, but that's huge for the Ukrainians

Also turns out that the Belarusian drone attack story was fake news

Oh, ok, I see where SPB is mentioned.

Can't wait for Kazakhstan to start getting glow-opped. They already had one scare last January.

Also "sometimes we [US politicians] just say those words [we support your independence and sovereignity] but this time we really mean it bro honestly"

What an odd thing to say while visiting a dedicated Russian ally and key economic partner.

I think they telegraph their shenanigans for shits and giggles honestly.

"Even more resonance"...doesn't even sound like "we really mean it this time", more like "due to current events they should be even more convincing" or some shit. BurgerGov really do believe they can lawyer their way out of every lie they tell.

Possible. They'd normally be a bit more discrete about it if it was a glow op, but who knows nowadays. I'm sure he's not gonna get access to any secret information anyway, just given a shovel and told to dig trenches.

 

[CaptainAutism69]

So expect another wave of missiles from Russia in the next few days after the drone attacks.

Dude, it's The Moscow Times. It belongs to a Dutch company and pushes anti-Russian propaganda so hard Roskomnadzor blocks it in Russia as a harmful foreign agent. Take whatever they post with a grain of salt the size of Soledar mineral deposit.

UPD: Checked the local news, they cite 5 drones aiming for Gazprom facilities in Bryansk, Belgorod, Tuapse, Adygea and Moscow suburbs (lol).

The United States publishes satellite images of the airfield in Belarus, where they allegedly tried to attack our A-50 control aircraft the other day​

CNN reporter Gianluca Mezzofiore published today's images from the Maxar satellite - Machulishchi airfield.​

Judging by the photo, the AWACS A-50 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces did not receive visible damage, but changed its permanent parking place from one end of the airbase to the opposite.​

Earlier, Belarusian-Polish propaganda resources assured that the A-50 was hit by drones. And in Belarus they are looking for a man who "committed a particularly serious crime in the town of Machulishchi". https://t.me/NovichokRossiya/25775​

THEY ARE LITERALLY MOBILIZING EVEN PEOPLE WITHOUT HANDS, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?

back in ww2, soviets deployed soldiers without ammunition or arms but this is ridiculous

That's not even true at all. You're thinking of WW1. The USSR's industrial output in 1941, when Barbarossa happened, was almost on-par with Germany's ; Both countries each accounted for around 14% of the world's industrial manufacturing capabilities (the USA accounted for 53%).

Listen sunshine, everyone here has played COD2, now that vidyagame wouldn't lie would it?

OT, but why the fuck are we surrounded by soyjaks these days? My father never looked like that. Nor did my grandfathers. I have a scruffy beard, but at least I balance that with a broken nose and some amusing scars.

What the fuck happened?

The Youtube algorithm has favoured expressive faces in the thumbnail for years. It's the "meta" to make soyfaces so you keep seeing them.

The lolcow senator Marjorie Taylor Greene who tried to shut down the infamous hate site Kiwifarms is now proposing to split the US.

If the US goes the way of the USSR (a major ecological catastrophe... a geriatric senile head of the state... a runaway inflation... an economy drained by a dumb overseas conflict it had no reason to participate in the first place...) I am going to laugh so. very. hard.

Do it, girl. Just do it. The clown world demands it. And besides, you know you want to.

Never gonna happen. For all the liberal talk of about those "useless" red states. They need us more than we need them. They would never let us leave willingly.
