    Carriers are not allowed in the Black Sea in any case (rather, they aren’t allowed through the Dardanelles or Bosporus). The Kuznetsov is mostly a loss simply because it’s not trying down any NATO assets to watch it. 

    Kuznetsov probably couldn't make it over there without help anyway.  It's more of an observation with this one.  I really kind of wonder why they didn't do this years ago and get the drydock evolution completed asap.  Once the floating dock sank, that is.  I guess this may be "asap" with them...

    Let’s keep giving them older and older shit, and see exactly how far back in tech we can go and still be superior to current russia (which means current Chinese in a lot of areas I believe)

    unbox the f-4s and sidewinders. 

    That's probably overkill.  Go all the way back to the F-4B or C and it's still a monstrous bomb truck.  Need like F-100s at this point.

    E: @Macanudo's Spads would probably be about the same.  Also those have some serious style.

    Yep, and Ukraine needs to get ready for a long war. Sucks. They don't deserve this shit. Still hoping some General pops the Bunker Dwarf with their Makarov. 

    As far as I can tell, that's basically what Makarovs are made for, so here's hoping. 

    I know as Americans, especially maybe a little older Americans like me (duck and cover in school, air raid sirens, etc), we're basically built to not like Russians, but holy fuck they really went out of their way to make sure that's how everyone feels about them.

    I have a drone I would be happy to send if I had a good link up. All my contacts pulled back to Poland to do evacuation support. 

    And I am sure they would love 1 more. 

    I'm sure they would, but then again the more people who can get away from these psychopaths the better.

    Not sure, but they are hard to find. We had them on Security Teams in Peru and Afghanistan. Fun to fire and reliable. But right now if I had one I would send it to the UA.  They need them and I don't. 

    Hell, they've essentially got a supply line directly from Russia at this point.

    They are a solid system. 

    Would need to find ammo for a -74 like that somehow though.  Wasn't e: (wtf it just submitted) some company moving production here?  Would have been Russian though, so I wonder if that will ever go through after this dumpster fire.

    I guess that I can't understand not making sure that every weapon in reach is in perfect working order and ready for immediate use in a combat zone.  I hope the Rushist bastards keep to that low standard.

    Right?  Granted, shit definitely happens, and this could have been shit happening, but with how much of a clusterfuck this whole thing has been on the Russian side I'm with you in assuming "poorly maintained."

    The only reason for the tank to exist is the main gun.  And it jams.  Bet you a dollar it isn't being properly maintained.

    That's apparently a (poorly maintained) BMP instead of a tank.  It was probably also carrying some infantry, although it could have been some weirdo air defense or whatever variant.  Dude has other videos showing it after it was knocked out and before he was captured. 

    E:  He's also really calm in the other one I've seen, even with blown up body parts around him, his vehicle still smoking behind him, and Ukranian troops nearby. By "nearby," I mean he's recording them with his phone while they're walking by.  It's in that Reddit thread.

    And we know that Russian ships are staying away from the unoccupied Ukrainian coastline.

    Speaking of which, what ever happened with that Harpoon delivery?  BS?  I've never heard of one being launched from a truck (or something other than a plane or ship/boat of some sort), but that doesn't mean a whole lot.

    They took out their own aircraft carrier by sinking the only floating drydock that was large enough to handle it. 

    I'd be willing to bet that shit randomly blowing up over there isn't rare.  And also that the Ukranians are helping them along.

    Expanding on this:  This was while the carrier was in the dock, just so we don't miss anything from the incident.  That was 3ish years ago now. I don't know if they've managed to raise the drydock yet or not.  The carrier itself is a floating tire fire that needs a tug following it around 24/7, so it doesn't *really* matter, but its just a glimpse into their fucktardery.

    I've wondered about the same thing.  I'd like to know what the frequency of such occurrences was one, two, and five years ago.

  12. Oh cool, start fucking with NATO directly again.  Great idea.  I thought this would be a clusterfuck, given how previous Russian shit has gone down and the general state of their stuff, but that they'd eventually be able to grind the Ukranians down enough to get favorable terms. 

    Didn't figure on the type of shit filled raging dumpster fire floating down a river of goat piss that the Russians have rolled out here.  And they're actively trying to make it *worse* for some bizarre reason.

    amazing such a short list , no one from PA, MI, OR, WA, KY (even though those schools had draftees) ? 

    List doesn't appear to be correct, or is cut off for some reason.  The #2 pick is from Michigan and played HS football there.  Dude hasn't moved outside of like a 50 mile radius his whole football career now that he was drafted by the Lions.

    Yeah, but the Japanese Navy, and their long accurate torpedos, put the fucking hurt on us early in the war before we could bring our air power to bear.  I think our sea record at Guadalcanal was 1-4-1 or something like that. 

    Yeah they weren't (aren't) a bunch of fuckups in general like the Russians, but they sucked at DC for sure.  They'd lose that cruiser too.

    I suppose the argument could be made that after the highly trained combat vets were mostly dead their military was full of dipshits, but that's kind of a different deal I think.  They didn't just start out that way.

     

    E:  Oh maybe the armies of the countries invading Israel in 48 or whenever it was might apply to that.  All signs pointed to an asskicking, but didn't happen.
