Hainan Island is on average less than 20 miles from mainland China and was defended by undersupplied troops recently evacuated from the mainland with no will to fight left. The KMT refused to reinforce or resupply Hainan in favor of bolstering the defense of Taiwan. Crossing 70 miles in the face of a motivated, well supplied enemy with powerful allies is a big apple to Hainan's orange. China never has conducted such an operation before, unless it intends to invade Taiwan with a hodgepodge fleet of civilian fishing junks like it did Hanain lol

Paid for by the Russian power apartatus. Only Chechnya's power elite are specifically Putin Simps, and unless Putin's successor is a complete mong they will happily switch allegiance to the new master.
I guess I woudn't say its completely impossible, but it's about a dozen steps away from those Ethnic republics breaking away.
Russia would have to completely abuse the ethnic elites to the point they don't see any advantages to continuing to submit to Moscow. Then you'd need to have some sort of legit independence movement. They'd also need either a strong local militia (hahahahah) or an international sempai who will protected them from Russia when they want to break away.

Either painting the barrel or maintenance on it on the field making sure it's clean off screen due the 25mm on it is considered a small arms and any technician and armorer needs to know how to clear and clean the bradley autocanon

I watched this video earlier and lot of good points were made. The first thing I want to get out of the way is that the T-55's are being sent to the front lines. I know the vatniggers like to cope post about how the T-62's would be used in the rear. But that was proved to be nothing but copium because they were found in the front by Ukrainians. Captured and proven. So the T-55's will be sent to the front just as suspected. Russia has been buying artillery shells from Iran. 100mm artillery shells. It's supposedly a good shell but Russia doesn't have any 100mm guns. guns. They have some MT-12's which I believe are anti-tank guns though they might be used for indirect fire as well. Look it up because it looks like something from WW2. It's actually from the 1970's. I already knew what they were talking about. I saw a video on YouTube of some East German NVA using them during firing practice in the 80's. The problem is these guns are static. Meaning they are going to get wrecked by counter battery fire. The Russians have to use whatever trucks they have to carry ammo and supplies so they can't wait around to haul the guns off after they fire.
Now the other source of 100mm guns is the T-55's. The Russians are going to turn the T-55's into SPG's supposedly. That's what was said in the video. They are going to load them up with those 100mm shells from Iran and use them as artillery support assault guns or whatever. I have heard the 100mm shells from Iran are pretty good though. Too bad they are going to be put into a tank and sent to the front lines to pop the turret off a tank from the late 40's. Like Lazer Pig said, it's like the US sending M-48's to Iraq in ODS. This is a huge embarrassment for Russia and if they aren't they should feel very embarrassed by this. Having to depend on Iran and North Korea for supplies. Having to use very early cold war tanks as SPG's and static 100MM guns that look like something from WW2. Russia's days as a superpower are over. This war in Ukraine has proven that. It has shown the world Russia is not a superpower. That's even more damaging than anything in this war. Decades of reputation and prestige flushed down the toilet in a year.
Another good point made is the constant talk of Ukraine running out of artillery ammo. Which isn't exactly the case as explained in the video. Thanks to the increased accuracy of the Western artillery the Ukrainians are using they should be using less artillery than the Russians. It seems the Russians are known to be Artillery happy. They really like to use it a lot. Remember when the vatniggers were claiming that the Russians heavy use of artillery was a good sign? Well that actually isn't true. As people pointed out months ago when they were bragging about it. You want to use your artillery as little as possible and conserve it. Not dump artillery rounds all over the place. This is what the Russians did. Now they are buying shells from Iran and resorting to using static guns and obsolete tanks as SPG's. Good job Russia.
Here is the video of the East Germans using the MT-12.
A more modern video with the MT-12. They say it can penetrate a tank. I don't think they mean a modern Western tank.
@Ghostse
That makes sense. They are like Russian version of US Marines. I thought they took some guys off a ship. They do call the top part of the tank a deck. lol
I just figured someone with some seniority would handle anything that was really important. I guess that's what they get for leaving it up to 21 year old flunky.

I can understand Europeans being concerned because they don't have an ocean between them and Russia.
I doubt Russia would invade Poland because it's a member of NATO. Ukraine never got NATO status. I don't think the Russians are stupid or crazy enough to mess with a NATO member. They invaded Ukraine because they thought they could pull it off. They know they can't stand up to NATO.

The only thing dumber than a vatnigger is a Chinaboo. They seem to be the same thing in some cases. The dumb shits who think Russia is strong also think Commie chink China is strong well. Though the Chinese military is just a copy of the old Soviet military. Most of their stuff is just copies of Russian stuff with some minor improvements.
@Ghostse
I don't see it happening either.

Donating stuff to the war effort isn't like putting a Ukrainian flag in your avatar and going around spamming Slava Ukraini everywhere. That's like the kind of shit normies do on social media. Like whenever something happens they put flags in their avatars. That's what I am talking about.

All a clever long-term KGB misinformation campaign. Bait taken, hook swallowed, SMH. Shamfur.
That's about the only thing you could do. Which makes me wonder:
US Post-WWII tanks up to the Abrams IIRC (and I believe removed in the A2 version of the M60) had instrumentation to allow them to be turned into indirect fire artillery pieces if needed due to experiences in WWII. I'm curious if the T-55 has similar sights or if its going to be Smedvka.
They did take a bunch of guys off the ships and put them with the marines. They are just all mobliks and in the eyes of command equally worthless.

If the US was still willing to use even newer cold war tanks as the M-60 and even Abrams as mobile artillery I imagine the T-55 has sights for that as well. But it's only a 100mm gun and the barrel can only elevate so much. Those T-55's are going to have to get pretty damned close to be used that way. Which means they are going to get hit hard. But I am sure it will make some pretty interesting war porn for weirdos like me. lol

Abrams doesn't have it, never did. And I believe the M60 dropped it when it got up-gunned or shortly after (I believe the A2) but don't quote me on that. The instruments got use in Korea but they weren't very useful in Vietnam a decade later- tl;dr you needed to put the tanks on a ramp to get the needed elevation on the gun, and doing the needed earth moving meant they couldn't be pressed in to service quickly.
Given the shift to mobile war + airpower + artillery range/accuracy improvements, it made tanks as improvised artillery seem like juice that just wasn't worth the squeeze. And add to that improvements in tank guns/sights that meant that your tank could act as a direct-fire SPG if needed.
I'm not sure if the Soviets would have put it on the T-55 because artillery sighting is very finnicky. Incredibly fine woopsies of fractions of a millimeter on the sight translate into dozens of meters of inaccuracy when the shell reaches its target. This means its fairly expensive and to keep it in a useable state requires maintenance.

I'm guessing the M-47 and M-48 had the artillery sights. Imagine putting artillery sights on a tank and having to make a dirt ramp for them to elevate the gun. The Russians want to use the T-55 as an SPG. Each time they fire they have to move to avoid counter battery fire. That means they will need new ramps. It's going to be a bitch.

Question: how viable is it to throw high explosives via direct fire, the same way you'd be trying to hit a tank?
If I'm not wrong the Germans thought of doing that with the StuG series in ww2, and their firing range was expected to be 2+km
EDIT instead of replying to not shit up the thread:
Yes, perhaps earthworks and sandbags might take a lot of the impact, but perhaps those wouldnt always be available, eg, when infantry goes on the attack. Also, it's not like the same doesnt apply to bullets, do we not consider machine-guns to be viable?

You can do it. It would work. It's just not the best way to do it. You mean like line of sight? There were assault guns used in WW2. It's a pretty old concept. People stopped doing it. They started doing it with mortars artillery and planes. The problem is if you can see what you are shooting at, they can probably see you or will see you.
Here is another video of the Russians firing a MT-12 at a fuel truck.
It's direct fire line of sight.
Modern technology has made doing this obsolete.
