Would having the DU armour package and infantry support have saved It?
>>61556930"Anonymous" US officials told that Abrams were brought back to the rear to the press. Once that news became viral, the Ukranians said that It was was not true and that they would keep using the Abrams tanks on the frontlines. And here we are
>>61556935those explosions are so fucking jucy i'll never get tired of watching this
>>61556930Russians always lie. They're addicted to lying>Lately, I was suddenly struck by the thought that in Russia, among our educated classes, there cannot be even one man who wouldn’t be addicted to lying. This is precisely because among us even quite honest people may be lying. I am certain that in other nations, in the overwhelming majority of them, only scoundrels are lying; they are lying for the sake of material gain, that is, with directly criminal intent.Dostoevsky’s 1873 essay Something About Lying
>>61556955Panicking. You have to remember new russian troops are not conditioned as much compared to their pre 2022 military. So they are easy to scatter
>>61556910No, tanks die sometimes, that's how Russia has lost 2,000 of them.

>>61554975Southerners are so stupid it's crazy. Those unemployed, uneducated serfs went to war so their lords wouldn't have to build railroads and factories.
>>61555017And the north literally went to war for niggers.
>>61556938The modern equivalent would be if southerners went to war for corporations rights to employ immigrants at below minimum wage instead of Americans. Honestly it’s baffling how you “people” can romanticise losing a war for the financial prospects of your betters(at your own expense)

What’s the big deal about these?
When China bought the Liaoning from Ukraine for pennies (undoubtedly involving corruption) they very probably believed that they were buying a fixer-upper that could be made into a functional carrier. The Ukrainians neglected to tell them (or maybe didn’t know themselves) that naval Su-27s were too heavy to launch off of ramps with anything but a light load, ie, a couple of short-range air-to-air missiles and fuel, that’s it. So, realizing that they had been fucked they decided no one is going to sell them a fully functioning carrier that meets their needs for them so they decided to go the U.S. route of making a super-carrier which had the ability to launch the heaviest aircraft and with significant force projection capability, something that no ramp carrier was going to give them. You see, engine tech is a problem for them, they’re stuck with low efficiency / heavy engines which need a catapult to throw fully-loaded Su-27 variants into flight, plus anything else they wanted. su-35 is beyond their technical capability to produce, so it had to be a catapult. That’s what these new breed of carriers should theoretically allow — serious force projection capability. If they want to compete with the U.S. as a world hegemon it’s essential.
>>61556778When China bought it they said they wouldn't try to use it for a military purpose and were going to turn it into a floating casino. So why would the Ukrainians tell them about what military aircraft it could use?
>>61556778Except for the fact that the J-15 takes off from the ski-jump carriers quite fine, with decent weapons load to boot. And that for the past 10 years. Yes, China already operates carriers for 10 years, which is enough for a generation of naval aviators to emerge.Americans do say the greatest bullshit with the greatest confidence all the time.
>>61556869False I’ve not seen ONE launch with a significant load out. It’s a couple of air-to-air missiles and I think maybe a drop tank, PERIOD. It’s a joke and CLEARLY not what the PLAN intended, hence the designation as a "training" ship.
>>61556896PL-12 and YJ-83 AShM. It's literally in the photo above. It never had any droptanks.No Su-33 has ever taken off with anti-ship missiles.

>>61553176That isn't actually the Kremlin, you know...And most of the Kremlin's staff is technically part of its military command structure - part of its purpose is to act as the military command headquarters of the Russian Armed Forces. Like, fussing over the civilians you might harm in the Kremlin is akin to fussing over the civilians inside of the Pentagon. They're in the same boat as civilian workers in military factories, and nobody cared when they got caught under the roofs they were toiling within.

>>61552881Admirable work Anon but you're never going to convince the retards. The AR charging handle is an elegant design. Its inherently ambidextrous, low profile and requires only a minor opening in the receiver which prevents shit from getting in the action.

>>61556790Those damn uppity llamas
>>61552799I refuse to believe that this isnt industry standard for all post-2010 vehicles
The very fact that they’re willing to work with such a small contract simply tells me there’s corruption involved. Or if "corruption" is to strong of a word, how about "strong unofficial government support"?
>>61556913Initially it was Serbian Lazar that was selected as the winner, but it didn't take them too long to realize that it's just a revamped BTR-80, so they thwarted the decision and went for more reliable Hyundai.

>>61556771american bloodthirsty boomers are same but instead they send poor and retarded ukrainian fodder to catch glide bombs
>>61555310Kek this is always the funniest part with these tards. It reminds me of the news articles claiming how successful the S-300 had been in Syria, until it was announced they had finished training the Syrians and were going to finally send it.
>>61556931Nobody sent ukrainians into a war except Russia invading them to steal their land, and genocide them. Also ukie boomers are based and not cowards like russians
>>61556931Nobody is forcing Ukraine to fight except for the russians. Russia is the one that invaded firsf.
Close up image of the M1150 ABV armour array released by the Russians. After all these years, it's still NERA.
>>61556586Yet the Russians keep "modernizing" the shittier T-80BV -> T-80BVM.

>>61556169At this point I'm convinced "muh Ceramic Chobham" armor was purposeful disinfo put out by the British, especially when all unclassified British Chobham armor designs are also NERA.
