International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

Armata is peace of owerrated shit.
Yeah, this might use longer rounds than T-90 and does have unmanned tower.
All this is cool until you see that for this design tankmans should be even smaller than for T-90.
Then also are rumoured frequent problems with engine and transmission.
While against Anti tank mines or 152 or 155 arty shell Armata will be protected not better than T 55 and it isn't joke.
 
Also active protection systems doesn't protect from all kind of atgm s at all.

Laser guided missiles and laser rangefinders might be used by pointing beam to near object close to tank. Launched and in last moment turned on tank.
Common tactique used in Ukraine.
This reduces effect of laser beams warning systems....cos crew does have shorter warning time before impact if such tactique is used.

All RF jammers and laser warning systems are useless against wire guided ATGMs with optical tracking and now common thing is that launcher might be placed 50-100-150 meters from operator ....
 
Btw I'm curious why in these Ukr videos rarely is used smoke screen.

All USSR design tanks does have multiple tools to use smokescreen.
At least since early 1980 ies.
1. Attached to front of turret cylinders with smoke " grenades ".
2. Option to inject fuel in engine exaust mechanism.
3. To attach cylindrical " boxes " with smoke generators.
 
Funny are also annyoing talks about months long training to change memory box in Cruise missile. If you are mobile phones/ computers repair technician you will do this after few days of training. It isn't firmware programming, it is like f.e to change microSD card in your mobile Phone.
Also talks about difficult programming about target. If someone will tell that he isn't able to load up terrain and targeting maps.....and some other stuff... average CompSci student is capable to do this....
Simply one country never had wanted that Ukr will have long range weapons....
This reality. Plain and simple.
 
This is the same country who .....
When Obama and later Trump wanted to sell Poland Patriot battery, told that better not to do this because it might worry Mr Putin.
One nice country in EU. Maybe Molotov Ribentropp No2 already had been done under table?
 

Russia's Oil Is Getting Stranded at Sea​

This photograph taken on March 17, 2022, shows Bulgaria's sole oil refinery, Russia-owned Lukoil Neftochim Burgas near the city of Burgas at the Black sea coast. EU member Bulgaria has moved to block oil imports from Russia as part of the bloc’s embargo in response to Vladimir Putin’s full scale invasion of Ukraine.


"EU member Bulgaria has moved to block oil imports from Russia as part of the bloc's embargo in response to Russian leader Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Bulgaria, which was one of the few countries exempt from an EU-wide embargo on Russian oil imports until the end of the year, switched to alternative fuel sources, effective March 1, following a vote by parliament in December, Bulgarian news outlet Novinite reported.

The move will serve as a blow to Moscow, which depends on its oil exports and energy industry; they make up some 30 percent of the country's budget revenues, and fund the ongoing war in Ukraine. Russia is the world's third-largest producer of oil, accounting for more than 12 percent of global crude-oil production, according to Statista."



More nations aren't going to be held hostage over Russian oil.
 
YT comments are really boring robotbots product like arestantowich robotbot in reality. arestantowich ideology about Baltic countries is completely wrong.
He is cocky gambler and propagandist lurking for income. Zelensky paid him then Zelensky was ideal and counter offensive will be big stuff ( unlike I had posted about this ).
The same idea to create for example ppl Republic in Narva cos oppressed russian speakers is complete idiotism..
They had freely visited Ivangorod even by walking by foot 1992-2022 and doesn't want to have such income and lifestyle.. .
Also estonians doesn't trust even their biological brothers or kids... not alone Western or eastern uncle because they get lectures that West too is Empire of lies while based on hunger for money rather than to expand Empire. All other things are the same and West had not only sold them but also lied about them all the time 100 years in row....
 
Western " friends " had sold Estonia 2 submarines while later sold them to Stalin with a glance. It is bussiness and nothing personal.
Then Stalin cos this get 62 metric tons of uranium for his plutonium program.
It is business and nothing personal.
Then West wanted to get inteligence info cos then sattelites weren't developed ...and internet didn't had existed..
Therefore CIA and MI used resistance movements in cheap way: portrayed that they want to liberate them in order to get pics and info...while resistance movements then trusted them and continued to resist in active mode, despite in reality uncles long ago had sold them.
It is just business and nothing personal.
Then since 1990 ies Western traitors still had labelled them as eastern europeans and specially as ex soviets etc....It is just business and nothing personal from haddcore traitors.
Therefore they had during decades prepared nice financial traps to be max painful if " friends" will sell them again. .
It is business and nothing personal. Lessons from " friends " they had learned 30 years - 75 years ago. ....what stuff is Business and nothing personal....+cold blood. They are more cold than finns.
To sell banking and fast loans sector to foreign friends and to purchase shares etc in Western businesses etc ...to sell damn a lot of businesses and recently also even factory to Emirates and Saudites....
 
Bad thing for Russia is that drones launched on objects in Russia are launched also from Russia.
It is more easy to sneak in drone parts in Russia and assemble in Russia and then launch from Russia.
Cos Russia had installed a lot of different radars incl ground radars and a lot of sensors to monitor border....
Cos drones are slow this makes long notice term for air defense...
Also a lot of ukr or 1/2 ukr are living in Russia, a lot of them does have russian names and surnames and might speak russian without accent and have rus citizenship....so to find informants and potential diversants in Russia is easy....
 
Yemen's deNazification with troops on the ground is only question of time. Everyone does knows that they like HAMAS and other orgs are Iran's proxies....for war ws peaceful world.
Looks that someone had damaged underwater communications cables in Red Sea.
For one from these huge investor was Chinesse business, for 2 nd : businesses from India.
Also ofc Westerners funds had been used and they are very angry...

So carpet bombing and to install troops on the ground even without support from U.S looks more and more realistic future scenario for Yemen and supported by India and China...
 
This is what Russians want. Medvedev basically spelled it out for you. It's even greedier than I thought.



I was thinking Putin would settle for Novorossiya.
 

One more area that Russia is enjoying a lopsided advantage.
As had been excepted Western " partners " had threw Ukraine under the bus with cutting off or delaying supplies. As I had posted earlier that Ukr is supplied according to flowchart slowly loss territories Putin had annexed on paper. Ukrainians should get that better is to have west As enemy rather than friend and not to become Kurds No2....such scenario is more and more realistic...

Also gliding bombs might have combined guidance kit using inertial guidance ( Jam till death it will not help ) and GLONASS + Baidou + GPS..
 
Btw frontline is approx 1000 miles and U.S had supplied for such frontline 31 tank and 20 missiles with range 165 km.
Ukraine doesn't have other chance than to tell west to fuck off, their security warranties are worth like Budapesht shit and become puppet for Iran, Pakistan, India, China and Russia. Also don't forget to cede territories, install some Lukashenko No2 and sanction friendly " partners " from U.S.

Europe BTW most likely since September 2023 th does have gameplan what to do IF Trump will be elected and remowe forces from Europe with yelling that they doesn't pay.
Europe most likely under the table will negotiate with Pakistan, India and China etc....
And will start to sell U.S denominated actives like treasury bonds, companies shares etc....Stuff will be real " fun " for U.S.
If Trump will be elected but will not remove forces from Europe then this will not happen.
While his last speeches makes big concerns cos looks that he is living in his past pre election campaign and maybe is thinking that today POTUS is Mr Obama....LOL...
 
It is normal to be concerned about your life each day if you are living in Russia, even if you are pro Kremlin oriented putinoid and russian world fanatic.
You might accidentally fall out from window or commit suicide etc. Also health problems might pop up without anyone touching you...
