I really benefit from youtube videos when I am trying to repair my vehicle. I can always find someone who has fixed the same thing and who is kind enough to share the repair on youtube.com

The Pentagon could put up a whole series of “how-to” repair videos on artillery, tanks and fighter jets. Those videos would help so many people trying to fix used tanks and artillery the U.S. has abandoned.

They could even do “restoration videos” like when there is an Abrams tank “barn find” that can be quickly repaired with simple home tools to get the tank quickly back in action.

I hear Ukraine always has good Internet service via Starlink.

Critical shortages of ammo?

We have already sent them between 25-35% of America’s war reserves.

How much more are we going to send? The real party has not even started in the Ukraine yet. Just wait until things get real

Sure they are. This kind of urban legend his run wild since the battle of Grenada. That was worth some soldiers relight a fire mission request or something via long-distance telephone call the United States. Since that event, everyone loves to pretend it happened to them now. All part of the propaganda war Ukraine is waging. Not buying it.

Good.

Whatever it takes to keep them running. RuSSia, the ChiComs, and the Norks must be put on notice that the free world won’t stand by any longer and allow them to rape, pillage, and annex at will people who don’t want them. Time to stand up to them for a change.

(Now if only we could get Americans to stop voting for libtard idiots.)

“Why would we care about the Ukraine’s opsec problems?” Because we paid for those systems and any system destroyed by the Russians will be replaced and paid for by the U.S. Letting the enemy know you have American weapon systems, that are off line due to repairs, parts or maintenance personnel would cause them to seek and destroy them.

Because we are supporting them during a Russian invasion.

We found an M1 Abrams that hasn’t run since 1987. Will it drive?

Stay tuned for this episode of Vicegrip Garage!

"Pfentagon" is a good spelling.
As with anything associated with our Pfgovernment Leaders, and 3 letter groups (although I should now promote them to 5 letters, as they get a "Pf" prefix) ...

“Why are we even reading this? Isn’t this identifying weaknesses of their weapons systems, that the Russians could exploit? Was OPSEC thrown out the window?”

This isn’t WWII. We’re way past ‘loose lips sink ships’. Although many Freepers are stuck in the WWII scenario, everyone knows what everyone else is doing these days. Unless you’re a Somalian or something.

Excellent video from a Polish news network on why so many nations surrounding Russia have volunteered to help Ukraine.

OPSEC is common sense and will never be obsolete. You don’t advertise to the enemy what your vulnerabilities and weaknesses are. If you are patrolling on ground or in the air, you don’t give the enemy your patrol route. If you are on a bombing run, you don’t tell the enemy what the target is.

Sounds like they didn't pay for the upgraded equipment with the extended warranty - oh, wait, they didn't pay for anything...
