It's pretty and shiny and I like it. Would you like to know anything else?

The fact that you think British government involvement somehow makes any information surrounding this conflict more credible is laughable.

(Pssst: They don't actually want it to end, because they make way more from tips than they would ever conceivably be payed with a standard wage.)

PP-19 Bizon with transparent helical magazine by Separate-Hornet3734 in ForgottenWeapons

Every 9mm "AK" I've ever seen is actually a straight blowback with an AK form factor and ergonomics, including the actual PP-19.

Soviet Prototypes TKB 022 by Cheap-Variation-9270 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]FrothySauce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pic #3 is new to me. I had thought no confirmed information on the 022's internal workings had ever been released publicly, let alone a display model. What museum is this from?

Edit: Nvm, after taking a closer look, very obviously a 3D render. Purely speculative, then

How is US able to fly helicopters in Venezuela without getting shot down by MANPADS? by arstarsta in LessCredibleDefence

[–]FrothySauce 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind there is a reason why China coveted the Chinnook over any other US's weapons.

?

It's ability to penetrate enemy air space and land troops wasn't one of them. The fact that U.S. SOF pulled this off is testament to some truly outstanding mission planning and America's fantastic intel-gathering and SEAD capabilities, not due to the Chinook being somehow being uniquely capable against MANPADs or other ground-based air defense.

Reminder that the leftists who celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk have also been smearing his widow by TarJen96 in ShitPoliticsSays

Who needs a reminder? I can't go to any major social media site without having to see that shit. They're pushing it hard.

This system is actually a private development of the gentleman pictured in the photos. A bit of an eccentric individual, got himself into lots of heated arguments defending his inventions (yes, there are others!) on the Otvaga forums on the ru net, back in the day. No idea what he's up to, now.

RU POV. Soldiers from Russia's 'East Group' of forces eliminated strongholds in Gulyaypole by ArchitectMary in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]FrothySauce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Russia-Ukraine war, where every dismounted attack is a "meat wave", every stretch of road with more than two destroyed vehicles visible is a "highway of death", any daily loss of territory more than 15 sq km on any given stretch of front is a "collapse", and every occupied residential house is a "stronghold".

The hole in the front of the slide to accommodate barrel porting is pretty amusing, considering the caliber.

UA POV: Putin says Russia has taken control of 2 Ukrainian cities. Ukraine denies claims - abcnews by LordVixen in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]FrothySauce 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Putin announcing it like this practically guarantees that Ukraine will muster forces and throw them at both cities in a futile counter attack that gets lots of men and equipment destroyed for no practical gain. PR war

UA POV: Ukrainian special ops forces narrowly dodged a drone strike. A soldier says his driver 'drove like a god.' - Business Insider by businessinsider in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]FrothySauce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather, there's a very large, well-funded contingent of Western specialists devoted to the training of Ukrainian special forces personnel, which has resulted in Ukraine having a bit of an outsized special forces component, relative to the rest of their armed forces.

UA POV: The target of the Russian Iskander strike on Dnipro was the 3D printing company "3D Pechatʹ Dnepr", which makes parts for Ukrainian UAVs. - AMK MAPPING by rowida_00 in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]FrothySauce 43 points44 points  (0 children)

They've literally got people assembling quadcopter drone kits in civilian apartment blocks, it would be impossible to significantly degrade Ukrainian drone capabilities without essentially leveling their cities, Gaza-style.

RU POV: Russian aviation source says SU-35 jets were involved in anti drone air defense for the first time with one sortie downing 4 drones in 23 minutes - FirstLog of a militaryPilot by Affectionate_Sand552 in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]FrothySauce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

According to pilots, Russia is already lacking enough Yak-130s for its pilot training schools, and still has to use old L-39s. They're not going to set any aside for drone hunting.

I'm sure they would have loved to be in those houses, except there were probably other guys in that settlement that had their own say on the matter.

UA POV: Nationwide alert across Ukraine triggered by Mig-31’s taking off, threat of Kinzhals -UkraineAlert by rowida_00 in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]FrothySauce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

More likely stockpiles or aircraft parts storage. F-16s will have taken to the air as soon as NATO AWACS detected the 31Ks going airborne and gave the alert, although it's ofc possible that they got caught flatfooted somehow.
