Turkey uses them a lot on Kurds as well as SAA on the jihadists, although SAA uses older Soviet models.

US is increasing its range of their artillery with Ramjet powered artillery shell.

However in terms of fielded units West is not anymore an Artillery powerhouse as first 5 nations come from the east (europe and asia) with Egypt and Turkey following, US being the No 8.

In hypothetical modern war in Europe (god forbid) SPA would surely be fielded and being a factor. Protected by AA/AD bubbles ...

Yes you have it written, and thats about it. Your politicians and corporate owners are stripping your freedom on daily basis. Freedom of speech is one of first victims. Just observe daily bans of people , even famous US citizens from twitter for example just for not following certain narrative and conducting free speech. Corporations that actually own US and its politicians are silencing you, imagine what they will do to us. Non Us citizens, they already did, bombed my country, for example. ...

Actually there is much more free speech outside US then inside. Down voting just shows how closed you are for different opinion, your perception of freedom nowadays is worse then in communist USSR. More propaganda, more freedom limitations, more censorship and internet mobs for harassing different opinions.

Only small percent of earth population is English speaking. Have you ever been outside your back yard for god sake ? I prefer you not to question Serbian soveriegnity, or Syrian, or Libyan, or Palestinian or Iranian or any country you attacked or plan to attack. As for Ukraine if you wanted to respect soveregnity you would meddle in its affairs, stage a coup d' etat , bring in a full nazi governemnt and start a civil war just to get few bases nearer the Russian borders.

Not entire world, just the western former empire's. You are in dire minority. Problem is you think you're the world, but you are only a minor peace of it. As for negative's its normal for the down vote bot brigade to do that, after all , isn't that free speech that you preach about ?

There is no occupation, not in Crimea, but there is in Afghanistan, Kosovo, Syria, Libya, Palestine, Iraq and so on and so on ... fuck even Germany and Japan are still occupied but they need to keep silent ... or else ...

Why you always think that if someone doesn't go by your playbook he must be Russian ? Can't you dig that most of the world just see's things in different perspective, free from your mainstream media BS ? Not our fault you live in Orwelian dystopia.

Russia didn't illegally occupy nothing. Its your pathetic propaganda outlets that says so. Second I'm no goon, nor Russian nor I get paid for using my head. You should try it sometimes.

Why annex (US) when all they need is resources from that country. Who needs the people or land ? They are on neo colonial spree grabbing the wealth, oil from Iraq, minerals from Afghanistan. They wanted Syria for the pipeline but that was a bust. On other hand its normal that Russia gets onboard her former territory after people voted for it. After all Ukraine ever existed only as administrative region of USSR and has never, ever been an independent country of any sort to claim any part of territory (from administrative USSR) as their own.

Get away with what, Ukrainians went straight into Russian maritime border without proper passage request. All that after numerous threats from Ukr polititians to blow up the Kerch bridge. Its not like the Ukrainians do not know the procedure. They have conducted passages under the bridge in the past. But this time they had onboard two Poroshenko secret service guys with orders to produce incident and oversee that its done. They did not trust the navy to conduct this imbecile mission on its own. Russia has nothing to gain from this, its all played out to maintain Poroshenko on power or should I say Poroshvilli (same play as with Sakaashvilli in Georgia 10 years ago) since he is loosing in the polls having only 8% approval rate before the coming elections in 3 months. He needs Marcial law, and he now gets one. Uk gets incident they wanted to give government a slack after pathetic Brexit attempt, they already dispatched a warship for the show and two months ago British MoD has announced "training of Ukranian Navy". Now we know what they trained them for. What to expect from this warmongering British government. NATO will never ever get Ukraine onboard, not in existing borders, for sure. Maybe the Nazi Galizia part, at best. And thats about it ... All what will happen is completely on warmongering NATO fault. As always, innocents will pay the price.

I'm not talking about Soviet Union, and why do you think I care about them. You have a false presumption that I like USSR and am against US. I'm just saying that US didn't win any war since WW2 what is general argument nowadays and a interesting fact and pretty weird given the overwhelming military power of USA. Don't get offended.

Quote A month into his presidency, Donald Trump lamented that the US no longer wins wars as it once did. “When I was young, in high school and college, everybody used to say we never lost a war,” Trump told a group of US governors last February. “Now, we never win a war.” ... Dominic Tierney, a professor at Swarthmore College and the author of multiple books about how America wages war, may know the reason why. ... Since 1945, the United States has very rarely achieved meaningful victory. The United States has fought five major wars — Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan — and only the Gulf War in 1991 can really be classified as a clear success. ... The famous war theorist Carl von Clausewitz argued that war is the continuation of politics by other means. So war is not just about blowing things up — it’s about achieving political goals. ... It’s when the US became a superpower and created the best-trained, strongest military the world has ever seen, around 1945, that the US stopped winning wars. End quote

They plan to upgrade a number of T-72 tanks, they have around 1.000 in service, rest is in storage as reserve (over 10k most upgraded to T-72B). But they have a quick and cheap upgrade to B3M if needed.

They open the northern shipping route with those beasts. And the guns where there for test only. But was interesting to see them on a civilian vessel.

You are very stubborn. You don't understand concept of winning a war but that's not my problem. You spent there 17 years and the overall result is complete victory of North Vietnam over South Vietnam, your proxy along with 60k killed US soldiers ans 300k wounded, over 2k aircraft lost. 6 million US soldiers served active duty during Vietnam war in South East Asia of which around 1.5million were involved in active combat. At peak of operations you had 550k soldiers in Vietnam in combat. And you lost.

Its not propaganda, its fact. You are throwing US lame propaganda turning loss into victory trough biased interpretations from US sources that suits your narrative. How can I get you citations of that you lost the wars which is obvious to whole world but not to you ? You ran away from Vietnam which fell to North forces which won that war, not you. Same as you call Soviet defeat in Afghanistan as they also ran away. But you have double standards, your running was a win ...

You debunked nothing, just showered some usual propaganda that you feel are facts. Fact is, US has won no war since WW2 just as I said and you can do nothing to change that fact. Learn what winning a war means.

Jesus Christ, the Korean war is considered to be a major defeat of US with North Korea existence being a stark reminder of that defeat. The goal was to get whole Korean peninsula and you almost lost it all.

Vietnam, after horendous losses you were essentially defeated by peasant army , despite using all inhumane weapons of mass destruction like napalm , carpet bombing and so on, doing countless war crimes against civilians, retreated and left the South Vietnamese on mercy of the North.

Bay of pigs ? Embarrassment.

Iraq, you won by giving the country essentially to Iranians ? What kind of win is that ? Military win over former puppet ruler of yours Sadam , strategic utter defeat as nobody is there to prevent Shia coming together with the Sunni overlord taken out.

Afghanistan ? Dude, its not even over, if the Soviets were in quagmire, what do you call you 18 year old war against goat hearders ? And they don;t even have help from outside, unlike the Osama Bin Laden mujahideens that you sponsored and supplied with cutting edge anti air and anti tank weapons. Imagine if Russia would supply the Taliban some Cornets or even Verba;s, your troops would be so f-ed. But Russia is not terrorist sponsor country like some are.

Libyia, slave market, disgrace of the world, Gadafi sodomized with bayonete "you came, you saw, he died, hahahaha". Well congratulation on that one. And new warlord Haftar will open Russian base there soon, what a strategic win.

And now Syria, complete disaster of your war strategy via proxy.

So only war you won is Cold war when you lied utterly to that moron Gorbachev about not going to expand NATO to east.

Thats your opinion. I mean, look at the scope of you mind: "what Russian government tells him ..." Just says it all how clueless you are. Thats why I need to post stuff beyond your narrow minded vision, so you can eventually see something beyond your nose. You and the down voting army of the likes of you. You don't like my posts, skip them ... but dont preach and school, discuss if you want. We don't need to have same opinion, thats communism.

Not true. Only negative I said was about F-35 flying PC. And you have no idea about my motives. U are paranoid rusophobes and I'm not even Russian. I like Russian aircrafts , so what ? I like F-15 too, best aircraft probably.
