M1A or M1A1 has been used as a designator for many a weapons type, especially in WWII.... (Thompson MG, Carbine Paratrooper, 75mm Howitzer, etc.)

France should send 50,000 French Surrender Monkey’s.
That will teach Putin a lesson.

One day Zeepers are telling us Ruzzia is a threat to the world.
The next day Zeepers are telling us It takes Ruzzia 2 months to
take a town the size of Mayberry.
Both can’t be true.
So which one is it?

Quite simply both, and of course you know that
Putin is a man with everything and yet nothing. He does not have his precious Soviet Union, and that is what he wanted. Statues of him on every corner….

Whether he knew it or not his “2nd greatest military”( a statement and standing which I am sure really pissed him off) was and is not capable of taking a country a fraction of Russias size and a fraction of Russias population or military.

But if he did he might have something the poor soul lacked, respect (at least through fear and intimidation) of the rest of the world.

He will not get that, but he still has nukes. So do I fear Russian tanks rolling into Berlin let alone Kiev, no I do not.

But his actions show what he is capable of doing, his Berlin bunker moment is coming.

We will see

If it would make you feel better I could insult your intelligence, patriotism, and family heritage. Then claim you are destroying FR, and harassing me by being you 😂

“Russia has been more effective using older technology than Ukraine has been using advanced technology.”

LOL.

You mean those “advanced” Russian jammer systems that was supposed to render the HIMARS launched GMLRS rockets and the 155mm Excaliber rounds impotent?

Those same advanced jammers were turned into scrap iron by the very weapons they were designed to defeat.

Then there are the advanced “anti-drone” jammers that don’t work either.

There is the advanced counter-battery radar that was destroyed by a GMLRS within a minute of activation.

Not to mention the hundreds of Russian tanks that have been destroyed by Javelin missiles despite the heavy use of jammers, decoys, cope cages, reactive armor, etc, etc.

Perun has a great bit on Americans use of the same identifiers for many different weapons systems all of the same period
