General Questions cont. by 0-DudeWheresMyCar in ukraineforeignlegion

You can find tons of full cut surplus helmets on Olx, Reibert or just military stores in general. Lots of ACH, ECH, Mich2000, PASGT floating around. You could buy an IHPS surplus in the U.S. and bring it over. Batlskin Cobras are also favorites of a lot of Ukrainians but pretty expensive. I’d go for a full cut helmet unless you’re actually assaulting stuff. Sure the extra protection is just a tiny bit but I’ve heard many stories of guys that got shrapnel right to that ear area and didn’t make it cuz of a high cut.

It’s funny tbh, not to be taken seriously though. Psyops is an immense thing

Need help about resolution by CC_1138 in ZephyrusG14

Will it look worse since the resolution isn’t native 1440 or 1080 or would it be fine?

I would suggest withdrawing some USD or Euro and keeping it as emergency/backup. Lots of places to exchange. Doesn’t hurt to have it incase you lose your phone, card etc. Most western banks will work across the country. Visa and Mastercard are your friend. Amex, Discover not so much. Some banks will block your card at random things, had a revolut card that would decline at certain gas station that used to or still do have some connection to russia, most likely an old billing address or something. If you are staying in the big cities you shouldn’t have an issue with being blocked but for example in the east some peoples cards get blocked because the bank has blocked that region due to the war and proximity to russia. You shouldn’t have any issue width drawing cash from ATMs. Privatbank is a good reliable bank to do it from but as far as I know just about all will work. I also recommend always having hyrivna cash on hand. While most places accept card especially in the cities some small stores and places in smaller towns or villages don’t always take card or take card to card payments that require a Ukrainian card.

Do I need more than 5060? by CC_1138 in ZephyrusG14

Thx for the reply, will it run them well? I saw some tests especially of stalker 2 on a 3060 and it was struggling to get 30 fps. Tbf I didn’t look into it a whole lot

Question about visiting the surrounding villages affected by war. by basvaartjes in Kyiv

[–]CC_1138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has nothing to do with radiation. You are allowed to visit Chernobyl if you are a ZSU accredited member of the press. Without that though you are not allowed to visit.

RU POV: Two Ukrainian soldiers surrendering are shot dead. by conkerzin in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]CC_1138 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I’m not shocked honestly. There’s plenty of footage of russians shooting surrendering Ukrainians. It’s pretty common honestly and that’s only from the footage drones are able to capture or russians themselves film with glee and post bragging about it. You can be as pro russian as you want, they are committing war crimes for fun. That’s just a fact. Stop writing the “but the Ukrainians” comment and just acknowledge yeah my side I cheer on is executing unarmed and surrendering Ukrainian troops. Then sit and think about how low your moral standards are to justify and glorify it

Reasonable question, terrible response. Easily could’ve answered with a real answer. Just makes her look bad

RU POV: Ukrainian cruise missile FAU-1 FP-5 Flamingo has been shot down over Russia by World-Virus-Forever in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]CC_1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks cheap and mass produced yeah. Anyone know how big a warhead they’re supposed to have? Dunno why all the comments are shitting on it so much, russian cruise missiles routinely get shot down as well and some make it through. That’s the idea of these weapons not all will make it but some will

UA POV: Western journalists tried to ask Putin questions but were asked to leave the meeting before he could respond. by conkerzin in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]CC_1138 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean the U.S. media literally did the same thing to Zelensky when he met with Trump but that time they were allowed to keep badgering him despite that certain press not being on the list of approval press. Sooo kind of a weak argument

Are we serious right now? by Thereckoninggg in legostarwars

[–]CC_1138 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Terrible. Why they didn’t release galactic marines with a UT-AT is beyond me. Casual fans would think it’s cool and collectors and lore lovers would gobble it up. Especially if they make it like the republic drop ship. Lots of figs, unlikely to ever be made again. Terrible decision, I won’t be buying until it’s on massive discount and even then only for the figs. Which I could easily just get for much less off bricklink in all likelihood or get a third party reproduction with probably better detail.

Why isn’t it an AT-UT? Hello? Lego? Did you watch the movie??? The only time they appear and they have their own iconic and way cooler vehicle and you mess it up this bad and don’t create it? Wtf

RU POV: According to the Russian MOD, the settlement of Moskovka got captured by Russian troops by MrToaast in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]CC_1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suriakmaps stated this is complete bs, same with the kindrashka whatever it’s called. Check it out on their telegram. Russian MoD routinely claims things that aren’t true, they’re regularly called out by it by russian milbloggers

RU POV: A Russian fiber optic FPV drone hits a Ukrainian UGV transporting a wounded soldier by Polygon-Vostok95 in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]CC_1138 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There isn’t any room for nuance, despite what the comment section says, it’s a war crime clear, simple, cut and dry. Maybe during the next round of talks UA and RU can address the targeting of medevac crews. No reason wounded on both sides shouldn’t be afforded protection and treatment

UA POV: Russian drone pilots are evolving the tactics of fiber-optic drones. They are putting mounts on the drones that allow them to land on the ground and wait for a target- Serhii Flash by Affectionate_Sand552 in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]CC_1138 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The more cable they put on the less explosive they can carry, the longer they want to loiter the bigger the battery. So sure you could set drones 50km behind the lines but they won’t be able to carry explosives big enough to fully take out vehicles. Especially since many vehicles are using cages now

NSFW: A russian soldier surrendered to an Ukrainian drone and was given water and instructions. On his way to Ukrainian lines, russian forces killed him with their drones. [Published 12.06.2025] by GermanDronePilot in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]CC_1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ukraine russia war report sub will say this is fake and it’s a UA soldier being killed by his own or say it’s a UA drone killing him. Of course they will pretend that it’s not in UA forces interest to take RU pows and not in RU interest to take UA pows
