They are literally risking their planes to do low runs with dumb bombs. Yeah, that same think tank's initial analysis hypothesized about their lack of precision-guided munitions, and thought that while it's likely true, they didn't feel like it was sufficient explanation for the poor showing.

Well, there's always the off-chance they might just launch everything, and then disarmament happens pretty damn fast. Just not the way people would prefer. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reductions maybe, given the high cost of upkeep, but I wouldn't have expected Putin to give up his weapons. I also don't think there's any chance that the US does as long as anyone else has nukes. Sure, polls like this show that people would rather there not be nuclear weapons, but if you asked people if we should give up our nukes before they've otherwise been eliminated and I'd guess the results would look quite different.

CayceG Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Zelenskiy has some absolute bravado with this one. You don't need to know what he's saying to see that the first several seconds of this video are a demonstration of his resolve. And it's REALLY well produced!

CitizenVectron Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 So: @Commissar SFLUFAN how big is this? Is that the same rank as the guy killed north of Kyiv by sniper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air_Delivery Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 7 hours ago, Commissar SFLUFAN said: This conflict has illustrated two things very clearly to me: (1) The age of the armored warfare is probably/definitely dead and buried due to light infantry carrying MANPATS. (2) The age of helicopter-borne air assault warfare is probably/definitely dead and buried due to light infantry carrying MANPADS. In essence, the light infantryman has essentially reclaimed their role as the primary battlefield element. They still have a role but they are very situational and require lots of support. On flat wide open hard ground where infantry can't hide and there is infantry/air/drone support they can move very quickly over the battlefield and provide lots of support firepower. But they are very much niche otherwise and the military should be focusing on light fast moving vehicles, light artilery and drones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclumber1 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I remember reading that the average time on the frontlines for a British officer during WWI was only a day or two before they were either killed or injured. This was for junior officers, but it's still interesting to comprehend that officers are just as likely to get killed/injured as their enlisted counterparts if they are serving on the front lines. It's quite interesting to hear about senior officers getting killed in the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but Russia is communicating on civilian equipment on unsecure channels on the ground and using dumb bombs to destroy SAM sites while using civilian GPS', and might not be able to effectively jam Ukrainian signals because they'd jam themselves using this equipment, something has gone horribly wrong in the Russian military.

silentbob Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Putin will change his attack to be on China for the disastrous chip shortage that have “ruined” his “state of art” weapons from working properly. Plus their shitty Michelin tire ripoffs for failing in the Ukrainian fields/roads in all honesty on them gps systems they are using.
