Better hope the IRA doesn’t come out of hibernation.
Nope. SACLOS, laser beam riders. But interestingly it deploys three submunitions to maximize hit probability.
These man portable weapon systems are to 80s style tank and armor centric armies what cell phones and microwave telecom were to Ma Bell. Decentralization kills. Even in civilian life you see the trend. This week 2 more states went to Constitutional Carry. A fifty year old woman is much less reliant on a centralized police force when she has a lightweight, relible, accurate $400 micro 9.
The Daily Mail is consistently one sided. It is better if the public knew the truth about the situation, lest we fall into a disastrous war for little advantage. Such is not the case, as it was with the Gulf of Tonkin, Iraqi WMD laboratories, the sinking of the Lusitania, the true story of the sinking of the USS Maine, etc.
Are you asserting starstreaks are ineffective?
Don’t hold your breath.
They told Ruskies had 3 days of food about a week ago.
They still eatin good in the neighborhood!
I didn’t know England was at war with Russia.
If you sell weapons to one side before the war, that is commerce.
When you give weapons to one side during the war, you become an ally.
The Democrats must have been doing some really dirty stuff in Ukraine.

It ain't easy feedin' 170,000 people three squares a day. Especially when the neighbors are shooting at them. Uber Eats drivers don't like that either.
Ask the whining Putin butt kissers here make me ill.
Frigging Russia is announcing they are going to concentrate operations in the East, and morons here are telling you Kiev is about to fall.
Then, every report of Russian losses is a lie.
Daily Mail favors Ukraine? Boo hoo. Britain is on the side of Ukraine.
And so is Donald J Trump. So eat that.
Thanks. I did a quick check on Wikipedia.
Appreciate the info.

Stop talking and start shipping them, now!
That’s why we declared war on Russia and China during the Vietnam war, right?
We didn’t have great success hitting targets during Kosovo when flying at angels 15+. I doubt the Russkie pilots have the skills of our USAF pilots and naval aviators.
I have read the Russian jet jockeys get about 1/3 the seat time of our guys. Mostly due to cost and maintenance issues. If true, that’s a pretty big deficiency.
I saw a 60 Minutes show where they interviewed a North Vietnamese Soldier from the Vietnam war.
He said all the North Vietnamese men were fighting in South Vietnam.
He said the Chinese backfilled them in North Vietnam.
Yes, the Russians and Chinese were Allies of North Vietnam.
We didn’t attack them because we were afraid of having a nuclear war.
I’ve been out for a while, but the Soviets had a quite different view of atomic weapons than we did.
Our culture viewed nuclear weapons as some sort of world killing event.
The Soviets saw nuclear weapons as just big explosions. Something like artillery.
I don’t know if the Russians have changed from the Soviets ideas.
Maybe they have.
I wouldn’t bet on it.

Never seen this level of gaslighting since the Nazis.
Goebbels would be proud of his neo-comrades.
