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

Tom Nook's Gloryhole said:
I'm just generally fascinated how worthless all this hyper expensive super advanced weaponry is in real life usage. You'd think the key lessons from WW2 and beyond were that you need to make weaponry that can calibrate itself and run for longer without maintenance yet the new technology seems to need touched up every few hours to stop it from going completely out of sync. It seems like the US believes that in a real life conventional war there'd be an unlimited amount of resources and engineers behind every missile launcher to ensure that it never comes into any harm, meaning that straying from its base even a little is enough to become nothing but an expensive target.

Now I see why the US simply abandoned trucks in Afghanistan instead of trying to move them back to a base to refit them, they're completely and utterly dogshit if you stumble upon even a minor roadblock. Sand can fuck them, mud can fuck them, the cold can stall their engines, the heat can burn out key electronics etc. Just once I'd like to see their brand new advanced tanks navigate through Alaska or a muddy field before they decide to order 50 of them. Any equipment that requires the perfect environment to work properly is worthless in conventional warfare.

Its more profitable for Omnicorp inc. to produce small batches of very expensive boutique weapons than it is to make large batches of good enough weapons.

It has come to my attention some of you have made unauthorized visits to the enemy camp. This is inadvisable and strongly discouraged. You may inadvertently and unknowingly drink from their stash of troonshine instead of good wholesome vodka, or be subjected to poisonous levels of copium. Please stay away. There is much better music, drinking and dancing at the Вагнера shack.

Cluster munitions are designed to impact the enemy more post-battle, than during it. If you have to leave territory behind and hand it to the enemy, you pepper it with landmines and cluster bombs first.

Russia did this in Afghanistan in the 60's and we were still encountering them in 2010. The biggest benefit to the Afghan people got for the invasion, is that we pretty much cleared out all of the mines.

There was a lot of tech on the backburner in development in terms of microchips production and tools to do so in Russia. Here for example another example of development. A presentation (in Russian) from Institute for Physics of Microstructures of the Russian Academy of Sciences on regards towards EUV lithograph. They helped ASML devices back in the day in development of EUV lithograph up to 15,5 mm and now are planning to develop domestic EUV lithographs for Russia, the plan is to have a working prototype in 2024.

I think you meant "nm", not "mm".
But it's a good think countries are forced to be more self-dependent. Less vulnerable supply chains for the vultures to feed on.

Yeah it's fine they'll only be giving Ukrainians cancer (if they survive) and irradiating their land, no big deal.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but - isn't depleted uranium consists mostly of U-238, which is not very radioactive?
Sure as hell it's a heavy metal, and will give you a nice poisoning if you huff it, but cancer? You'd be dead sooner from kidney failure or some other nasty shit.

DU is only 40-ish% less radioactive than regular uranium, so while it is "less radioactive", it's still uranium and it's still radioactive. It emits almost entirely alpha radiation which means you do need to eat it or breathe it in order for it to fuck you up.

Yeah I bet it probably wouldn't give you canceraids or whatever but it's still nasty shit.

This is an eastern european thing, Orbán did the same, he became Chuck Norris's driver when he visited the country.

You'd have to inhale the power as the projectile impacts something, or eat the power.

Otherwise, you can handle it all day long

Yes, nm and not mm. And its 14,5 nm and not 15,5.


Like I said previously, the sanctions are a boon for Russia in the long turn. A lot of stuff in microelectronics, machine tools, etc. where cheaper to get abroad. Medvedev tried his best, but a lot of development either dragged on or never left the table.

Now domestic replacements have a chance. Even if it'll take few years or even maybe a decade in certain area.
