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

I wonder if they have given them any upgrades? 105m canon, no ERA, chassis design from the 60's, it makes you wonder how well these will stand up to the riggers of modern warfare.

Leopard 1A5 ; Leopard 2 Fire Control System , option to fit leopard 2 gun, APFSDS ammo, thermal sight (arguably better than the challenger one) , and bolt on lexan , extra armour to the turret

@Mercenary Keyboard Warrior , the gun is the British L7 , so theres plenty of ammo around. DM43 is comparable to the USA M833 DU fin round

Everyone raiding the cupboard. Techs going backwards. Bovington be checking its inventory.

There was a small documentary somewhere about how the AFU is using watercooled machine guns from the world war. (To great success).

Thats cool then.
I saw a couple of things in regards ammo so I guessed it wasnt current tech. The concerns must be about volume then

Atomic agency has found that none of Russia's claims to be true, including:

* Does Ukraine store military equipment in its nuclear plants? No evidence found

* Is Ukraine building a nuclear bomb in its nuclear plants? No evidence found

500 malnourished soldiers are unlikely to make much difference but Russia likes using cannon fodder. Very interesting development though.

Russian 500, with a factor of 100 means 50k...

There are rumours their building a giant nuclear stealth type seagull that will peck us to death after screeching us to deafness with a 200 decibel screech.

But only after it's stolen your chips

 

[HungryHippos]

If a nation state was posting Western troops to the Donbass area I think Russia would have issue with it.

Sure mercenaries are a thing and both sides have them from various nations, but this is gov sanctioned personnel.

Funny double standard.

Round the corner from me:

This is one of the dumbest posts I've seen. No wonder you would lap up everything the mainstream says.

May be because a nuclear bomb wouldn't target the ocean.

He is talking about the Status 6/Poseidon project... though as usual the reality is far different to Russian claims - the only way to produce such an effect would ironically also have significant impact on strategic Russian coastal areas like Murmansk and the very facilities where these subs are produced and maintained. (Not to mention require an unfeasibly large nuclear device).

Its probably so the guys nicking the parts to flog can't be identified so easily

Makes sense that even if it is just saber rattling we keep discussing how we will send ultra long range missiles to Ukraine so that they tie up their air defences like this.

North Koreans are apparently going to Ukraine

https://twitter.com/x/status/1621218393062875137

This could be a ploy, they send them, some die and North korea declare war on Ukraine for killing them, a good excuse to send thousands in.

I wouldn't rule out the North Koreans.

They spend their entire life training so they will be far far better than most Russians.

USA couldn't beat them in 1952 and they have never stopped preparing for war.

USA (UN)could have beat them, in fact they had them on the run after the Landings that jumped behind them, only the intervention of China and millions of thier troops stopped unification of North and South.

Jury is out on quality of NK troops

The average height of a North Korean is 13 cm lower than South Korea through malnutrition. North Korean defectors have been found to have such medical maladies that are beyond what we would comprehend for example https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-42021373.amp

Let those ideas sink and then consider that a malnourished soldier that is barely kept alive and riddled with parasites will be be a formidable force is in cuckoo land.

Back in 1952 I’m sure a North Korea soldier was in far better condition than what they are in now but at the moment the average person is eating insects what they can forage in the fields for nutrition. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ibes-eating-insects-seeing-bodies-street.html

They would be cannon fodder in a modern war. They are very under equipped. Things only got out of hand in Korea as the Chinese got involved with their own forces. Russia had some forces in there too and a lot of equipment.

What I think as well. We will see shortly though as I’m sure it will be a Ukrainian propaganda win if they can rout the north Korea in battle.
