They instal a wire cage above the tank turret. It keeps the secondary charge from contacting and penetrating the turret. Easy peasy. A 20 dollar fix to overcome a $100k handheld rocket system. Fucking genius. More wasted tax payers money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you can see from the turkey shoot on the highway yesterday that none of the tanks have that modifications. Plus the Javelins are just one system sent to Ukraine and that does not take into account the home grown anti tank weapons that have been excellent. Terrain and sheer numbers of hand held anti tank rounds is the problem for Russia. The dead vehicles are starting to pile up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Russians could end up in a spot where they cannot hold the land they have. I think even Kyiv is to far in for their own good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're leveling cities now with no intention of holding them. We'll see the liberal use of fuel/air munitions very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but the colums of vehicles are stuck on the highways and the warmer it gets the more the country side becomes a mud pit so heavy equipment will be unable to leave the narrow strip of road. Logistics are not great now for the Russians so when the Ukrainians give up on the cities and just attack the line of vehicles behind the advanced it will be ugly.

They're within 10 miles of the capital. It's almost showtime for their rockets and artillery. They want to be able to blanket the entire city.

This has the potential to turn Russia into another hermit state like NK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Ukraine is quite successful with farming. Tons of wheat and misc stuff is exported around the world. Especially China and various other Asian countries rely on Ukraine essentials. How much of this is real or exaggerated remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gas station, street signs, and traffic. Two weeks ago I talked to a couple that's traveled to Ukraine. They said Ukraine had beautiful cities. Amazing old structures. Pretty sad what humans fuck up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted March 14, 2022 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 14, 2022 The losses on both sides are astronomical....but I always enjoy seeing the Russian side lose more equipment. Still sad to see the loss of life....the legs you see hiding in front of tank didn't stand a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
