    Armchair General's DonbAss Derailed Discussion Thread (Topics Include History, Traps, and the Ongoing Slavic Civil War plus much much more)

    All you do is spout vatnik fantasies backed by nothing more than your own delusions and Russian propaganda, and when called out on it, all you can do is repeat your prior lies. There's no point in engaging with you, and all you deserve is silent contempt.

    You're so full of shit. Right here in the USA. Or failing that, ANYWHERE IN FUCKING EUROPE. You gonna tell me the Germans don't build machine tools anymore? Or the Turks? Both of whom are in NATO, by the way. Whatever will the biggest fucking aerospace manufacturer on planet Earth ever do...

    Not given the casualty rates we're seeing on the front-line. I've yet to see an entire Ukrainian platoon laid out dead on a road within 50 meters of each other. Three new 155mm production lines are coming on-line in Texas by 2025. As a tradie that works with, in, and around these people and...

    Russian Invasion of Ukraine 2022

    Correct on all counts. For an example of counter-drone drone tech being developed already, Leonidas POD has a system wherein an interceptor drone flies up to an intruder drone with a small mobile microwave emitter under it and fries them. They also have a large (presumably AESA based) towed...

    What I don't get is why. You'd think they'd be content to defend and let the Ukrainians suffer the hard work of being on the offense but nope, there goes a full mechanized battalion worth of equipment (likely with most of their troops, given how Russian IFVs tend to die catastrophically) for...

    Not really. Communists are international socialists ("Workers of the world Unite") and fascists are nationalist socialists ("Workers of Germany unite".) Which is why the Nazi party was called the National Socialist party. Naturally, Communists work hard to deny this.

    Sorry I'm late but I'm curious and just must have the answer - what happens when they run out of trenches? :unsure:

    You people all say this shit: "it's all propaganda on both sides lmao nothing matters" and then go right on to regurgitate fucking propaganda from one side and not the other; such as you, whinging about Our Military Complaining About Not Having Enough Money. When's the last fucking time the US...

    They only got a lock on it when it opened it's bomb-bay doors to engage, and even that required it to be less than 8 nautical miles from the engaging battery. The battery operator was notably intelligent, using the lowest frequencies his radar could generate to maximize his chances of detection...

    Russian Invasion of Ukraine 2022

    One that's most likely shared by The Blob (foreign policy establishment thinkers in Washington, D.C.) given their dithering for months on sending HIMARS and even holding back a fucking dual use helicopter for fear it could be "used to strike the territory of a Great Power!" I've seen Think...

    Russian Invasion of Ukraine 2022

    Anything that threatens the nuclear deterrent capability will make a nation-state very nervous for the obvious reason that the nuclear deterrent is a state's ultimate guarantee against existential destruction. (Note the recent tiff between Belgium and the UK over Belgium blocking the export of...

    Russia-Ukraine War Political Discussion

    Important to note that this is the exact same conclusion NATO has come to - regardless of what the justification (real or purported) is, Russia definitely had no intentions of ending this with just Ukraine. And if they could invade Ukraine without any intervention against them on the strength of...

    Russia-Ukraine War Political Discussion

    Yeah they hated the Communists soooo much that they formed a fucking military alliance with them. Wow. So hate. Much extreme. Very anti-communist. It's really incredible how effective decades of nonstop propaganda has been at making people forget that the national socialists and the...
