International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V12

[San Marino]

I thought you were suppose to bring that stuff to the vet forum.

Yeah, that was personal military experience, not military information about the US, China, Ukraine and Russia.
Anyway, thanks mate. All that info I posted got deleted. Should I point out the other 100 posts in this thread that have nothing to do with the Russia/Ukraine conflict? I'll point them out from now on and watch, they will not be deleted. Personal insults still get thrown around and no 'yellow cards' given. Got to love this place!

Ukraine wants to get additionally even more $ from EU and EU countries.
Now additionally in order to subsidize their grain transit through europe.
Plus looks that they most likely are using almost all western provided air defense in other areas, not called Odessa and it's region.
So now they are asking even more systems and ofc ....
If they will get SAMP-T it will be new, not likely last missile version and still. Nice next portions from our money.

 

[SandisLL]

Zelensky looks that will lay off Ukr ambassador in U.K because he ironised about Zelensky crying.

Btw U.K was first country supplied Ukr with weapons providing 250-300 km range. Despite cautious approach from U.S and Germany.
Next Zelenesky kindergarden maybe will be wiith ambassador in France?
Micron doesn't likes me, but he signed to deliver some batch with cruise missiles to Ukr.
Plus Micron wasn't happy when Germany was reluctant to provide their own old cruise missiles.

Btw if about obivious reality from France Ukr might had get more IF....

Also from Israel ....not likely weapons while damn more $ and some lobby in international scene....IF Ukr didn't had 3x voted against Israel in U.N. It was big mistake for Ukr future. They had been warned xx times in row and didn't had listened anything.

Might have been the video I watched because it contains the having to look up quote.

Being in testing for America gives a good indication of how monumental a task finding a solution to drones. Even America will take years to test and scale the technology to a point where they're actually happy and can retain the advantage they've enjoyed for decades.

That's big for a country that actively plans for problems that don't yet exist. Miles ahead of everyone else but still miles behind where they want to be.

Watched a video yesterday where a retired General talked about wanting to send the Phalanx CIWS as a way to counter drone strikes.

When I was in the navy, that thing broke all the fucking time

 

[SandisLL]

SAMP-T battery does cost approx 500 000 000 EUR.
1 missile approx 2 000 000 USD.

So if europe will decide to pay for these, then 2 batteries will cost 1 b EUR + additionally $ for missiles.

+ Zelensky wants that europe not only is pumping real money transfers on monthly basis in Ukr ....
We now should subsidize also grain export logistic?

We already have problems with some episodes that formally designed for transit grain had been sold ...in EU ...
The probelm is that Ukr doesn't have mando to follow EU quality standards for grain and to pay EU level insurances, tax and salaries.

 

[MeatWagon06]

This video is great. Looks to be professionally edited and recorded.

I could definitely see that and I’m sure it would take a long time to train mechanics for such. It’s at least better than nothing though.

Probably.

For mainland europe ofc there are other trends ...
While if it does work it does work and it is usable also for land installations + it might be automatized as unmanned firing station.
Nothing unique and still it might provide very intensive very close range VSHORAD fire.

If mechanic is in reality very experienced and skilled + willing to learn it will not be so difficult.

Mainsteream autocannons trend in Ukr now looks that are 35 mm Gepard stuff and.... 40 mm Bofors ...autocannons.
Shilka 4×23 mm and Tunguska 2x30 mm stuff ( but these does have lesser effective radars than even Cold War era western stuff.).

25k worth of dildos is a nice touch...

This month Ukraine will recieve generous financial support from xx different sources and still for them isn't enough.

Just some few couple from these:
EC/ EP administred macro financial assistance fund monthly " injection " 1,5 b EUR. I can imagine what will happen if Urzula and Dombrovskis will not sign such bill for august transfers.
1,5 b loan from WB warranted by Japan.
Nice portions from EBRD and IMF...
Individual loans and grants from countries....
Charities, ordinary citizens etc.

We afforded to tell Zelensky to deal with corruption, kleptocracy and nepotism, money laundering and laziness. Between lines but in sharp diplomatic manner.

Now they want:
More $ and EUR.
More weapons...
To finance their private businesses by subsidising their export ( it is open demping ).

We had told these idiots that IF there is WAR then there isn't time to build museums, re construct not essential objects etc.
This is what " We aren't Amazon means ".

 

[SandisLL]

So then there about grain deal.
Europe will not gave a fuck cos despite on paper they are importing some food, this is cos speculants.
Buy cheaper and sell for better price. In general europe even without this is huge food exporter and they does export a lot of high tech stuff.
While poor propaganda for idiots is different narrative.

So sorry lazy and cocky idiots in some countries ruled by oligarchs...
Lazy parasites calling others as parasites and dancing under cheap propaganda.

Europe together with U.K does have techical tools and resources to block all russian export from Black Sea but they aren't interested at all in such shit.
Dreamers in middle east and africa etc might start to use brains.
Agricultural production in europe is limited by qoutas not pure technical ability.

Russian friends might be proud and they always will be if vodka, tobacco and sausages together with daily propaganda dosage will be provided.
Good stuff to utilize in modern era.

So it was like a McDonald's milkshake machine?

 

[SandisLL]

For stuff like Kalibr not likely any modern chips are necessity, therefore even these they might replace with mainstream chips from 2000 th. Reality.
This is and will be peace of cake for Kremlin or Iran or North Korea.
Cope with reality and live in reality, such stuff isn't last 10 years innovation in FPGA etc stuff.
It is old stuff working well and to fight with parralel import .....

Better had supplied Ukr more normally rather than had wasted time 500+ days in row. Thinkig these are just ants in big scene and will react like Afgans vs taliban.
This reality.
Normally idiots.
