Holding off the next push from the Kaiser.

My man, have you seen the way the average journalist has behaved the last couple years? I'm shocked some aren't getting shot at from both sides.

They are starting to learn why war correspondents were so highly regarded and lauded in the days of yore. It's almost as if there is actually a war on or something.

They were expecting the same level of implicit support and supplies that a western power takes for granted. On call, 24/7 airstrikes on the individual level. Endless ammunition and food. Total air superiority to the point that neither artillery or IFVs survive being spotted. Being on the...

I mean, they are well armed for school children, but if you're down to arming school children maybe it's time to reconsider.

I would be shocked if everything could be arranged in less then a week. With how poor the Biden administration and its military counterpart is? I expect them to waffle for weeks and in the end either do nothing in the way that offends the most groups or somehow bungle the shipment badly enough...

My dude, seeing tanks knocked out inspite of their armor doesn't mean that armor in general doesn't work. Just that it didn't work that time in particular. You need a bigger data set then some one off tweets. Yes, I'm going to take the US military's word that their missile one hundred percent...

You do you, it's pretty far from good but I wouldn't call it a warcrime. Though these days everything is a warcrime if Russia does it and nothing is if the Ukrainians do it. Just like when it was the middle east and everything the US did was a warcrime and nothing the insurgency did was...

Did they know for a fact that the car contained civilians or could it have contained the spread of irregular fighters shown attacking Russian vehicles? Is this part of a policy of intentional attacking civilians? A tragedy? Definitely and not something I want to see repeated. But if that was a...

Tandem warheads are normally HEAT though, that's why they have a Tandem warhead at all? Tandem missiles are a warhead with two, thus tandem, charges. The first one detonate to reduce the effectiveness of ERA or spaced armor and the second contains the main anti armor charge. I'm starting to...

I mean it sucks, but this is what all those smug gloats about the drive by molotov attacks and resistance to the last man lead to. Drive a vehicle towards a vehicle column? Get treated like a threat. Also unlike the deliberate Geneva Convention violations of Ukraine, there is nothing covering...

So you're a clown and do not understand at all that the warhead on the missile is what determines which kind of protection works best against it. Anti Tank missiles are a really broad term. They cover everything from aerial launched ATGMs to IFV mounted missile tubes to tank gun launched...

Do you even know how top attack missiles work? US tanks have Cage to protect against shitty forty year old RPGs, coming in from the sides and rear. That's not what the Ukrainians are shooting at Russian tanks. Top attack missiles either have a standard heat or tandem heat warhead that comes in...

So it's only useful against some classes of antitank weapons in common circulation but not all of them so it's a total waste? Is body armor useless because it doesn't stop common rifle rounds at close ranges? Listen to what you just said. Cage and slat armor or spaced armor or side skirts, like...

You gotta convince the crews to get in the fifty year old tanks somehow. Lies work best when you add some theater, and overhead cage protection is pretty theatrical. Like ERA, I'm sure it works sometimes, just not as much as they tell the crews and more often then the Ukrainians tell reporters.

I mean it's one he'll of an opportunity for someone from Syria. You get to do pretty much exactly what you would be doing in your home country, just with more support, likely better pay and the chance at sweet NATO loot.

Post truth Era.

I mean, any idea why? The protests didn't seem all that serious or big in Russia.

Here is three dudes from what should be a couple dozen. Also they have zero identification patches or anything totally trust us they are what they say? Man at least with the equipment tweets, they are mostly actually the equipment they say. Sometimes the wrong year, but no one is perfect.

So, like in glorious Syria, do people have any bets on how many times the last hospital is Kiev is going to be destroyed by the Russians? I think they managed to report that like 10 last times so I'm going for 5. Bonus points if the reporters get the city wrong, and of course wrong year is worth...
