Almost 40 artillery units destroyed?! I really hope that russia is going to finally grind itself down with this stupid endeavour.

Those motors are just incredible. That they can haul a drone of this small size while carrying a heavy round t speed without melting is just mad.

Not sure what’s scarier, a the sound of a little terror drone before an explosion. Or the silence, the feeling of security that there’s nothing on a recently cleared path and then seeing my mates vehicle blow up.

Successful denazification and demilitrization

Of Russians.

Not quite the Ukrainians changing focus. Russia launched a big assault on Avdiivka.

A lot of that is equipment that russia sent into the meat grinder.

I buy a lot off eBay. Not that they’re perfect, but at least they’re not owned by Bezoz.

Half Life - Alyx

Fuck AFD. The fucking cunt should be sent to do community service for a good long time.

The symbolism is just fucking evil on Ukrainians since they were invaded by Nazis.

It will deliver death by PowerPoint

Absolutely. In a perfect world, we would supply enough MRAPs, Busmasters and similar vehicles to Ukrainian infantry.

Unfortunately we don’t have enough for our own needs. The Australian military still has G-Wagons. We do have plenty of M113’s and Humvees.

Sure, they’re not as good as the bigger troop transpors, but: what are the alternatives? Usually unarmoured technicals. Realistically speaking, we don’t even have enough of those! I donated to NAFO’s 69th sniffing brigade to buy vehicles.

If I was there, I’d rather sit in a Humvee or M113 than in a technical.

Aw crap. Glad they survived. Also shows the value of actual military vehicles over shitty technicals.

Not sure they would have fared as well in an unarmoured Hilux, Navara or Triton.

Something that surprised me is that there isn’t a better way to collect used cartridges from the machine gun at the top.

A wake up call for us as well.

Unless rates change in 5 days till we exceed 1/4 million fatalities and 5000 artillery pieces.

I hope they can make them in high enough production runs. If so, happy hunting.

Apparently satellite footage shows much more damage on the other side of that crater (behind the photographer).

I hope that’s true.

Looks like we’re going to reach 1/4 million liquidated personnel from the second best army in the world.

I you’re not familiar with him, go check out Perun’s content. It’s just a treasure trove of information. Those hour long videos pass without you noticing they were that long.

Just enough to provide support against direct harassment and missile strikes on international grain carriers. I suppose that turkey could send a few frigates or destroyers to escort grain ships.

Since Turkey is a NATO member, those would fall under Article 5 protection.

Any attack on those ship could then be met by an appropriate amount of force from NATO. If things go far enough, I could see some aerial action with F35’s and B2’s dealing with the offending assets.

Prioritising the correct targets.

We have to draw a line to Putin’s bullying of the world and threatening world hunger somewhere.

Escorting ships from that terrorism is IMHO A-OK. If putler decides to attack those ships and trigger Article 5, that doesn’t mean we strike with Nuclear weapons. Article 5 simply means, respond accordingly.

If putler wants to escalate to that and beyond, that’s on him! Send escort vessels out.
