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.

I guess Russians are easier to kill than Taliban.
The Taliban are better trained.

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.

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.

Is the idea here to try to draw as many countries in as possible so they can just kick Russian ass extra hard?

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.

Is there any example of a military being this incompetent in modern history?
Iraq was talked up a lot before Desert Storm, but they also ran in to a gigantic buzzsaw, so might be hard to tell. They and the Iranians had a helluva war right before that.
Might not be "modern," but Italians in WW2 maybe? Austrians and Italians in WW1? They spent like 3 years fighting over one river valley.
The Japanese specifically fucking sucked at damage control in WW2, like the Russians do now.

Apparently the Russian Navy has confirmed it.

Throw in the Exocet as a bogo deal. And theyll definitely need the Rafale in the background there to go along with it. A nice set for the discerning individual.

The Neptune missiles are launched from a truck-mounted mobile launcher and in tests have hit targets up to 100 Km away. It looks like they were designed for use against smaller ships up to 5,000 tons. The Moscow has a displacement of 12,490 tons. It would be interesting to see what two Neptune hits did to it. I'm sure the there are pictures of the damage floating around the Pentagon
They probably trashed it pretty good if they really hit it. I don't think it's quite as big of a warhead as a Harpoon (and definitely not as big as something like a Tomahawk) but its still few hundred pounds of explosives x2.
Hell, with what Russian Navy damage control is probably like, they might have sunk the thing.

When does the "mud season" end over there? Is there enough time left to finish painting a couple thousand M1's in Cold War style camo, or are we going to just roll with olive drab and/or khaki?

I'm going to do just 3 per post, let me know if it freaks out your phones.
Its not affecting me in a meaningful way, but is there a way to maybe keep posting as many as you want, but make all but a few of your choosing just regular links instead of the whole thing? Not really sure how to word this. Too much booze.

And the Ukrainians are removing some top-tier Russian stuff, including top-tier tanks, plus irreplaceable stuff like command & control vehicles, comms vehicles, fire control, etc.
Lots and lots of trucks too. Most of which don't seem to have any armor at all, unless you count the driver/passenger/troops in the back as a sort of ablative armor.

Why waste your limited numbers of Harpoons on a piece of shit Slava when there are piece of shit Alligators and Ropuchas full of troops out there?

I don't understand this. He would give them money in exchange for them not saying he's the father, but she...doesn't...want to...get paid for not doing something anymore?

It's almost like the Texans didn't say anything throughout the process except who they had interviewed and it was all just message board clowns and sports journalists making shit up. Weird!

This. I don't know enough about the current state of the Saints to know why he wouldn't want that job but there are millions of reasons anyone not hoping to pad their retirement or with an insane ego would take the Texans job.
The Saints are in cap hell, I think.

I think they were actually going to hire Flores. They shitcanned Culley a couple days after Miami fired him (on Black Monday), like they hadn't planned on doing it, but then surprise! Flores notified the Texans and Saints that he was going to sue the NFL (before it was made public but after the interviews). They're not going to say that's why, but come on.
