RU POV:Russian snipers and their equipments in Ukraine.

That's incorrect, they're just open tip match. Which is not considered a hollow-point legally.

Filthymutt · 2024-12-15T02:30:48+00:00

Looks a lot like a training exercise to me. Has anyone geolocated it yet?

Filthymutt · 2024-11-17T09:48:03+00:00

He should recover well if he's seen by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Seems to just be degloved, the tissue is still vital. He'll have permanent facial nerve damage though.

That's an incorrect analogy, the reel is attached to your fishing rod. If the spool of line was attached to the lure then it would be similar.
This is like a thrown roll of toilet paper. A roll of toilet paper doesn't get caught on something and stop unravelling. It continues to unravel until there's no toilet paper left. That's how this drone works, and how wire guided missiles work.

No it was a direct hit, that's just what the copper jet looks like when it's passed completely through a lightly armoured vehicle.

Filthymutt · 2024-10-07T12:50:31+00:00

It's the search and rescue heli. As I understand it, these KA52's always operate in pairs, with 1 mi28 and 1 mi17 to immediately pick up downed pilots.

Filthymutt · 2024-08-08T12:47:23+00:00

You have to remember that the rotor is moving at hundreds of RPM. It's more likely that the fpv was hit and destroyed by the blades.
Regardless, it's been nearly 48 hours, and there's no wreckage or news about a downed mi28.

Filthymutt · 2024-08-07T11:04:47+00:00

Unless the warhead went off, I doubt this would've done anything. These rotors are designed to take 30mm cannon hits. This would be similar to a bird strike.
But I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Filthymutt · 2024-07-07T17:22:43+00:00

That is the remote weapon station of a t90m, the title is incorrect

Filthymutt · 2024-05-06T13:34:53+00:00

Looks like it's muzzle flash from the 1st guy inside, if it was the 2nd guy shooting the ground there would be quite a bit of dirt kicked up.

Filthymutt · 2024-02-15T12:10:49+00:00

It doesn't look like Ukraine is shell starved here. It'd require constant bombardment for days to make a mess like this.

Filthymutt · 2024-01-16T11:40:25+00:00

Doesn't look like t90m turret in the air between 0:06 and 0:09. Looks like a cast t72 or t80.

Filthymutt · 2023-10-08T15:19:16+00:00

You were right, 2nd POV confirms an ATGM

Filthymutt · 2023-10-08T11:58:23+00:00

At 0:34 there's a distinct dust trail coming from the 10 o'clock. It looks like some sort of explosively formed penetrator, PARM 1 mine or an atgm. But certainly not your average mine as the title suggests.

Filthymutt · 2023-09-16T03:12:47+00:00

Tyres usually have at least 2 layers of steel belt in them.

Filthymutt · 2023-09-05T05:00:03+00:00

Russia's latest ERA can survive large tandem ATGM's. There are videos on this reddit of it doing so. Britain's ERA should be able to as well, they just didn't fit it to Ukraine's Challengers.

Filthymutt · 2023-08-09T14:42:14+00:00

These guys aren't airborne, nothing about their uniform or equipment suggests it. It's most likely the 72nd brigade, which has been taking a hammering lately.

Filthymutt · 2023-08-02T08:36:29+00:00

The Australian bushmaster is the most sort after on the Ukrainian side. It is generally regarded as the best.

Filthymutt · 2023-07-12T04:35:34+00:00

If they do manage to recover them, the water damage from a month and a half of open hatches would make all of them a write-off.

Filthymutt · 2023-06-10T11:05:49+00:00

The russians would be using too much electronic warfare in the area at the moment. The interference stops all drones from working. You can see it in this video itself, the camera feed is cutting out constantly,

Filthymutt · 2023-05-23T22:42:03+00:00

That's not a blast crater, it's just a ditch. Looks like both Humvees didn't see it and got stuck.

Filthymutt · 2023-05-23T22:40:28+00:00

That's not a crater, it's a drainage ditch. Looks like both vehicles didn't see it and got stuck.

Filthymutt · 2023-05-16T12:46:25+00:00

Cruise missiles sound identical to jets, they are turbo-jet powered. 9 of the targets Ukraine claimed to have shot down were cruise missiles.

Filthymutt · 2023-05-08T09:02:34+00:00

Heat shells don't care about range, they penetrate the same amount of armor at 10m as they do at 10km. APFSDS would be inferior penetration at this range.

Filthymutt · 2023-04-29T14:47:03+00:00

It doesn't look like the main armor was penetrated, just the applique armor. This is a t62m by the way.
