Русский корабль - иди нахуй

[atomheartbevo 89775]

I like this idea.  If I spoke Russian, I'd be spreading the idea round that Putin was an American plot to cripple Russia, which is why he had all of those expensive yachts and palaces that took Russian money that could have bought food and night vision and rifle optics, etc.

 

[atomheartbevo 89775]

There was a discussion earlier that American units were using really old hardware/software for fire direction.  Yeah, they aren't able to update as fast as the Ukrainians are for a lot of reasons, but we aren't using 1980s tech either.  And it has GPS and digital communications (for going up the chain), and there's multiple versions of this.

In this instance, this thing appears to be really solid for 60mm, 81mm, and 120mm mortar squads.

Twitters “sensitive content” has a wide range.  I’m either going to see a picture of a guy posing in front of a tank or a headless body, always a gamble.  Lol

Has something with this changed recently? Either with Twitter or with the way the site embeds tweets? @immamac

I feel like this is all over the place now when it wasn't previously. I haven't fucked with my Twitter settings, and I've confirmed that they are as permissive as possible.

I've wondered if it's related to how many people report it as sensitive content, as there is clearly plenty of stuff being marked sensitive, that isn't, and we know the Russian bots/trolls are out in full force.

British Sec Def dunking on Putin:

“Who’s going to be buying Russian kit? We have seen in Libya, in Syria, in Azerbaijan, and now in Ukraine, [Russian] equipment being defeated by predominantly handheld equipment,” Wallace said. “When a TB-2 takes out your SA-22… I think that has an impact on what is Russia’s offer"

When enough RU trolls complain they put it under sensitive. The trolls hope people skip it thinking it is bodies instead of more destroyed RU kit.

This one gets more interesting. It was geolocated as being on M14 which is the main road between Russia and Mariupol, and supposedly 100km behind RU lines, near Novoazovs'k.  Speculations are IED, which IMO wouldn't be easy to plant on a main road, or SOF infiltrated with a Switchblade.

Hope it is the beginning of the calvary for Mariupol.

Yep

A Reddit dude measured this turret launch at 200’. I was eyeballing it at more like 70-80’, but I didn’t realize the gun barrel was 6 meters long.

Holy shit, check out the entrance hole in the turret (pointing right at where the crew’s head would have been). Blood spatter. These guys had a bad day at the office.

Russia is getting humiliated by a country a third of its size, that it used to control.

Attacking Finland would mean getting humiliated by a country a 25th of its size, that it used to control.  A country that has trained for 75 years to fight Russia.

So I'm leaning towards doing nothing.  Maybe move some more nukes up there, or sorty some ships or subs, but that's it.

Holy shit, should be marked sensitive.  From the start of the war, Russians gunning down civilians in the back.

 

[atomheartbevo 89775]

Congrats Putin, you master strategist.  Wonder how much of this will be spent on potential Ukrainian o&g.

 

[atomheartbevo 89775]

Damn, whole lot of projections going on here with the inner circle talk and that Ukraine isn't allowed to export to other countries, but I'm actually surprised by a couple of things:

1. Russian state TV is using the word "war" more often (based on other clips as well - some of the media analysts have mentioned this recently).
2. Admitting to the Russian public that the US, etc., are dumping a shitload of military aid into Ukraine.
3. Discussing operations beyond Donbas, including Transnistria, and acting as though victory in Donbas will win the war.
4. Pretending like the US doesn't feed itself.  Shit, if you've ever been to an SEC football game and did a survey of waistlines, you'd see we feed ourselves a little too well.

But the biggest takeaway to me is that it sounds more like justification for doing something about Moldova (I mean Transnistria).

They hit 500 confirmed dead Russian officers a few days ago, and have added another Lt. Colonel or two in the past day, plus more Captains.  Lots of companies/batteries and battalions are losing their leadership.

There is some weird stuff in that guy’s thread. Why telegraph some of it to the world? Also kind of doxxing yourself. he also seems way off on the casualty amount and then posting his PayPal was awkward. That said, bully for him if he scouted it out and called it.

I read that as Russia knows they are about to lose and is desperately trying to find an off-ramp.

Unfortunately for Putin's sake that does not exist. As far as Ukraine is concerned this only ends when all Russians are out of Ukraine - including Donbas and Crimea. 

Putin cannot do that or else he's toast, so he's trying to find a way to get to a ceasefire that Ukraine will never agree to.
