Русский корабль - иди нахуй

[atomheartbevo 89,424]

They openly admit to wanting to replace Ukraine’s government, how they’d like to treat Ukrainian POWs, etc.  and the Brits and the queers get a shout-out (they can’t even defeat Ukraine, not sure why they think they can beat those two groups)

So many Russian stereotypes turning out to be true.

 

[atomheartbevo 89,424]

Wait, I had to learn with compasses, binoculars, maps….and GPS units.

Do you military types think they have lidar units aiding in the locating of russian positions?

I would think that a plane or helicopter with lidar would be an easy target for all kinds of AA anywhere that it would be useful.  Maybe a very high altitude stealthy drone could do it, but it would be easy to detect once it started emitting.  I don't know the lidar capabilities of satellites, but that would be the only way I could see getting a good lidar image without losing the platform carrying the sensors and emitters.

From what I understand you don’t need LiDAR. Just look for the garbage piles. I know it sounds facetious but I read some Uke saying that’s how they do it.

He says they use a phone app called Offlinemaps to aid in targeting and artillery crews use Telegram to share target information

can we not have some really good Russian speaker infiltrate or hack the phone or telegram to give Russians coordinates that hit their own assholes?

[Gatorubet 30,098]

This asshole suggested attacking a British ship. He seemed completely unconcerned about triggering Article 5, even after one of the few sane ones (who had previously suggested that killing all prisoners was not a good idea) reminded them that doing so would bring all of NATO down upon them. They are crazy as a shit house rat.

You fuck with the Queen's Navy, and they'll turn every Russian boat into driftwood before Nato gets the chance to go Article 5.

Whataboutism 101 - just because we have an American committing warcrimes doesn’t excuse the Russians.

Long (even if he says otherwise) and extremely informative thread.  He’s translated a bunch of Russian military comments and critiques, and gets into the drone aspect and how everybody was caught off guard as well as how it seemed like the Americans were doing some crazy spending, but it turned out we did it right.  Interesting to hear from a Russian perspective how drones and other things have changed modern warfare.

One of the Russian comments mentioned that HIMARS by itself is not that good, as is any MLRS hardware, until you add in the precision/satellite-guided rockets and then it becomes a game changer.  This is something the US did at scale, where the Russians apparently couldn’t, which allowed the Ukrainians to really hammer and even control the Russian rear in some areas.

He also gets into why the Russians feel like they need a mass mobilization even larger than before, because, yes, human wave theory.  And NATO’s expansion.

The guy posting this is based out of Washington and studies Russian tech as well as drones/unmanned systems.

All those American toys, while the Russians are looking at 1980s tech and field manuals

It’s easy to pick up a rifle from a fallen comrade.  Lot harder to strip their clothes in the heat of battle or dead of winter.

The commander of the Wagner unit with the call sign "Cherdash" - zdoh.

^Weird ass video, I think he's trying to commit suicide by shooting himself in the heart? Bakhmut is next level. When this is over the stories to come ouit of there will be heartbreaking

Fantastic example of self-control and leadership from U.S. soldiers in Poland. Hard to tell where this is but I’m guessing Rzeszow or Krakow, the mall looks like a provincial Central European layout. Contrast these guys with kontraktniki and mobiks. 
 

Warning: Seriously ugly racist language from the video filler. The speaker has completely clean English with a Canadian/Midwest accent, although it could be a Pole who grew up there.

 

[Scheiss Meister 8,399]

I damned proud of those soldiers. That is the kind of discipline that wins battles and wars.  May the racist piece of shit who filmed that have permanent ED.

Woulda been cool if a civilian woulda stepped in and broke that guy's arm.

Probably not many/any around who really understood what was happening.

[AUS-97HORN 11,674]

that thought line by the speaker sounds an awful lot like that lunatic Kansas church group. 

but being in poland I am not sure even if they beat his ass it would result in anything because he couldnt sue

[Brisketexan 104,604]

Reading that post a page back on the Holodomor -- Russia killed four MILLION Ukrainians.  They know what the price of kneeling to Russia is.  The math is easy: resist, and lose tens/hundreds of thousands of casualties, or surrender, and risk genocide/extinction.  There's no choice to be be made her, Ukraine is doing the only rational thing: resist, with whatever you have.

Russia made a mistake in 1) showing Ukraine what it would do if it controls their territory, and 2) SAYING IT AGAIN, OUT LOUD, right now.  

I'm glad the world is arming Ukraine.  But those fuckers would fight with sharpened sticks if that's what it took.  Godspeed, you bastards.

It's much easier when they don't resist. Offer them jobs.

Yep, dudes held it together, supported each other and walked away. I am sure the Poles would deal with him. Maybe deport him to Russia.
