Totally new batches of one of Russia's most modern tanks arriving on trains, again totally new.
I mean, you read all this noise about the West sending tanks to Ukraine as if they were modern, they were in new or like-new condition, they were going to arrive tomorrow morning, and Ukrainian HMFIC Commodamir Ichabodovich Zelenski was going to start to win by using them beginning at noon on the same day...
And what do we see in real life??
Check out the n00b retread and the Deutschie Azovite giving each other tongue-baths...
LOL “Wiebke, with her DM sunblock and her Regenhose, is now the fearless one, who thinks social interactions more important than anything else.”
A 2.5 hour play date with Weibke and her offspring sounds like too much aggravation.
Check out the n00b retread and the Deutschie Azovite giving each other tongue-baths...I asked you to keep showing that you are deranged and you complied. 👍
I pictured our resident Wiebke in bicycle shorts, and threw up in my mouth a little...
The Ukie hamburger catching the 10-to-1 Russian artillery advantage knows how effective Russian weaponry is, n00b.
I’m trying to think of which Uketard might have been zotted in the late January/early February timeframe that would rise like a phoenix from the ashes to troll FR once more. 🤔
While America’s smartest young people go into Wall Street finance, or social-media software, or woke law and politics - I imagine that Russia’s smartest young people go into engineering (particularly military) and energy.
You keep telling yourself that, retread.
A Russian offensive was initiated against the Ukrainian defensive line during the second week of February. On 8 February, an offensive of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), and infantry failed with large losses, including the loss of nearly 30 armored vehicles, IFVs and tanks.[51] The Ukrainian military announced almost the entire Russian 155th Naval Infantry Brigade was destroyed and Russia has lost 130 units of equipment, including 36 tanks. In the same announcement, they also claimed that the Russians were losing 150-300 marines per day in the battle.
What US or NATO weapons have been used in Ukraine?
The Ukrainians have primarily fought with ex-Soviet equipment or their own indigenous material.
Many items of Euro or US aid are obsolete or no longer in production.
Those new foreign weapons that are notable are-
HIMARS. There are huge orders out for these and their ammo. An enormous success.
M777 howitzer. Out of production but Britain and the US are thinking of reopening the production line, such is the demand for a weapon that was being disposed of - pre-Ukraine the US Marine Corps was donating a bunch to Colombia.
Javelin. Another enormous success, and very widely used moreover.
NLAW. British/Swedish, another huge export success.
Piorun manpads - Polish. Poland has locked in a nice business by having the best manpad out there. It is a very modernized Soviet Igla.
Every sort of weaponized civilian drones, from dozens of manufacturers. This has turned into a wild variety of types and specifications.
No other current modern weapon systems have been especially seen as successful, or have been delivered in relatively small numbers, such as the French Caesar or Polish Krab.
Conversely, not a single Russian weapon system has been notably successful.
We can rule out Bicycle Sharts.
By the yam-like extrusion in the back of his bicycle shorts shall ye know him...
Seems to have joined about the day that JR Zotted one of the ugly Neocon supporters. Perhaps we should JR know?
“I’m trying to think of which Uketard might have been zotted in the late January/early February timeframe that would rise like a phoenix from the ashes to troll FR once more.”
When Noobs come here and do nothing but attack long-time FReepers, they’re usually re-zotted rather quickly.
Seems like you’re a veteran of FR banning, retread...
Russian artillery advantage comes of having inherited loads of material from the Soviet Union.
For instance, those D1 howitzers that Wagner video constantly show.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/152_mm_howitzer_M1943_(D-1)
Thats from WWII. The reason they have extensively deployed those is because they have 50-year old shells for them - not the same shells as for the newer 152mm howitzer series - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2A36_Giatsint-B
Those newer shells are apparently in short supply now.
Heh. I rank you.
