But they love that cheap sweet oil and that helping to improve their currency value and helping their financial status in the world.
Yeah, actually China and India are using every chance to negotiate lower and lower prices for russian commodities. Not only crude oil.
+ now they does have pressure tools in negotiations with russia.
It wasn't like this before 2022 th ....stuff in Ukr.
 
Yup.
Only an idiot can't see how dumb were Putin & Gerasimov& Patrushev with this invasion.

If russia didn't had invaded, ukr had to " sit " on small loans from IMF etc, to reduce budget deficit and increase budget income...to reduce inflation etc .
West didn't had even sold them any heavy weapons like howitzers, tanks, not alone SAM complexes...
Like it was till invasion.

Russia might had get europe on their natural gas needle even more.
Had these 2000 tanks they had lost in ukraine....

Ukr now had just lived in empty talks about possible candidate status for EU ....
 
The way things are going in Ukraine I am learning more about Russian military hardware then ever because Ukraine keeps taking them away lol.

i really wanna know how these will handle.
They handle fine and can take a mine too but I also question their use outside of Afghanistan. They can only carry 2 dismounts so not a real transport. They also have a really tall silhouette making them harder to hide and easy targets for armored vehicles. Can’t mount anything bigger than a 50 or mk19 on them so they can’t fight back against any real armor.

JLTV does everything they do with the benefit of being able to get lie to the ground and I believe can accelerate and run much better.

Unlesd that is a JLTV. I have a hard time telling them apart in solo pictures

hmm. We’ll never seen that before. Wonder what they’re doing with the ammo
 
Heh i know over here Recon is rolled into SOF. im gonna assume its not the same over there.
Most recon guys were spec ops rejects, i have bad eyesight so out of spec ops selection i go.
That is all news to me.
Recon = Reconnaissance. Reconnaissance is part of a patrolling mission for Infantry (11B) guys. Any U.S. Army Infantry Platoon can designate a recon element or scout element. Never really heard of it being a 'special' mission. I believe the U.S. Marines do have a separate element for reconnaissance - Force Reconnaissance Detachment. That is a large force element. Most of the recon elements I worked with were Team size elements - 5 soldiers. U.S. Army Cavalry Scouts (19D) are a separate element from Infantry. They work in conjunction with Armour (tanks).
