Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

[Quartz]

Tactical nukes have to be transported usually via specialised truck or train.

Only the missiles. Stuff like the Davy Crockett or one designed to be dropped from an aircraft can be transported by an ordinary, anonymous, truck.

I wouldn't be surprised if America is dusting off its Davy Crocketts just in case.

Not according to this they don't https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Russia

They have some small semi arid regions but which still experience rainfall and for geographical regions they don't have their deep storage military there - they keep their stuff in Siberia and in the Far east where it's very humid

I assume they are surrounded by armed guards, otherwise they'd be off.

Looks like ww2, but without the tents the Americans would have used and concrete bunkers the Germans used

 

[Rroff]

Probably going to look more like WW1 if they try to rush a huge conscript army in with minimal training and basic weapons/supplies.

I hope to see a good cavalry charge at some point.

Is that red & white barrier tape being used to keep the enemy out

There's a video on reddit showing what appears to be a few rather rotten and rusty AK's being cleaned... I thought Russia had a huge stockpile?

Yes, they have piles of rifles. All from 1960's, 1970's and 1980's. This also comes with bullets from the same time as well as tanks.
No updated stuff or there was very little made. The yachts and castles cannot be built on their own you know.

AK-12 though so far produced in relatively low numbers and yet to be rolled out widespread. They can switch to an quicker/cheaper version of them but IIRC can still only produce about 40K a year.

They are laughing now...

I wonder if sending all these Russians to meet their fate in the Ukrainian meat grinder will make online gaming a bit more enjoyable?

I follow a military forum, a few vocal prominent russian posters who spew thier propaganda bs have gone of grid since mobilisation began...

Be funny if they have been conscripted, by very fitting for them.

Going to war in a pair of bright red Adidas Sambas.

Lets be honest with ourselves here... the most likely outcome is that they fled.

Those who bark most have no bite.

Arming and forcing to fight the very people who don't want you in their land, what could go wrong

Anti drone tape, the latest Russian secret weapon.

His army will fall apart who wants to fight with that.

Also come the winter Himars are going to have a field day with all these new troop concentrations, another reason for ATACMS though to strike deep into transportation of troops.

I get that but I don’t think people in the UK if they were conscripted would be getting blind drunk. I don’t feel sorry for them though, for years Russians as a whole have been allowing this to happen. Turning a blind eye to what is going on in their country letting apartment buildings getting blown up by their president or him murdering Russians abroad. Even with this war they turned a blind eye, knowing full well what was happening to Ukranians. They don’t care if Ukranians die. Now when it affects them they get drunk or flee the country.

Russians do not care about other peoples life, in general, they are cold.

I'm not sure that'd be right. Most squaddies will be out on the **** before being deployed, knowing they won't be for months or longer. That's people who are mentally prepared for it, now imagine being forced - not sure it's easy to say people wouldn't have a drink.

Watched my dad get drunk the night before going to Iraq when he was being sent with the T/A - which is pretty similar to what's happening now. (as in, not in the military but part of the reserve force).

I think of Truss and the tories. Then I can sleep at night knowing Russia has it far worse with Putin. I'm waiting for Puiin's Rasputin (the guy that is his professor/mentor) to fall down a set of steps from a great height, out of an open hospital window..

I suspect they will all be given crap weapons only at the front. However I don't think it will take much for Crimea to start fighting back rejecting Putin's stupidity (the Crimean Russians will be thinking the enemy of my enemy is my friend - at least whilst Putin is alive).
