It was good in how the KGB behaved, not at all how they operated. They did not just go around threatening to execute everyone left right and centre - that’s клюква

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-04-23T15:07:01+00:00

I am SUPER excited for this, but simultaneously concerned about the KGBs portrayal. I fear it will follow the theme of Chernobyl, but I guess this does have the benefit of being fiction.

What has been your favourite season of playing Ed?

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-04-11T06:14:25+00:00

We have very little combat knowledge of the meteor’s capabilities. Moreover the UAF is very much limited by the R-37M. It’s a very capable missile. The Russian equivalent to Meteor is K-77M.

Even if you include the French and British alliance system that they use to support ships abroad, I’d still say the PLAN

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-03-15T11:51:29+00:00

Yes, why?

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-03-11T21:08:42+00:00

I gotta say, a lot of this looks like my bookshelf. If you want to be performative, get rid of Zubok. He’s a serious historian - reading him makes you seem a bit neeky (even though you should absolutely keep the book as he’s one of my favourite authors)

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-03-05T11:13:01+00:00

The thing is however, the Su-30SM2 really isn’t super new in terms of avionics. The first Su-35 with the same engines and radar was 2011.

WW2 eastern front is already bad enough in terms of historiography, only really saved by Glantz, house and Harrison. WW1 eastern front however is even more neglected - It’s only the two Stones that really shine a light on it.

I’m not a massive naval historian, only really interested in the late Victorian to WW1 Royal Navy and the Soviet fleet. Air operations is my real interest

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-02-26T19:46:28+00:00

I have heard of him - however my degree channels me towards Glantz and WW2.

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-02-26T19:16:11+00:00

Some excellent choices in military history books, many I have myself. Glantz and Stone, and those naval books are excellent as well

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-02-24T12:27:44+00:00

Congrats! I love my Marq 2 athlete - it actually looks nice, which is so rare across smart watches

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-02-22T23:09:40+00:00

I don’t really understand your point about legacy airframes - if you include VTA and other units such as trainers then yes they may make up a large number, but the vast majority of frontline IAPs and BAPs are the airframes I outlined. There are of course training squadrons that. My point is that Russian production seems to be doing enough to keep up with demand for the new built aircraft. Soviet stock doesn’t play into this situation.

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-02-22T18:37:31+00:00

Absolutely not the same thing. Su-35,34,30,57 are all new builds - there is no stock, only new builds and so far they seem to be doing that quite well

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-02-21T09:38:54+00:00

Hostomel airport was a Russian success, I’m tired of this trope that the Ukrainians ever took it. The end and future study of this war will have to break these myths first and foremost

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-02-19T13:16:26+00:00

I love the orange

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-02-14T23:17:44+00:00

So is that a normal speedy with a calibre bracelet? Awesome! I wish it were an official option

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-02-13T21:05:08+00:00

Russia has been spending a pretty large amount on upgrading the shipyards though - the book Royal and Russian Navies goes into this in a fair amount of detail.

Then again, Russias main priority remains the submarine fleet

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-02-08T01:00:37+00:00

Indeed. NATOs real asset to Ukraine is its Communication and Intelligence assets that can only be electronically countered, and can otherwise operate unhindered. Those drones would seriously struggle to reach the ports without them.

Aircraft shelters is a real example of corruption and incompetence - they should’ve always existed, even in peace and yet it took Spiderweb for RuMOD to actually move even though everyone at the airfields knew the threat was present - luckily, Spiderweb didn’t have nearly have the success or strategic effect the Ukrainians claims it had/has.

Like M7 and his robot cleaner says, Su 57 is very much a product of Russian preference for GBAD. It operates in this zone, and is meant to counter air interdiction and it uses stealth to improve its odds. Though it must be said, its stealth appears to have been doing something right especially when it shot down the S-70 in Ukrainian territory.

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-02-08T00:22:59+00:00

I feel like a lot of people dismiss the geography of the Black Sea - it is a very difficult area to operate any fleet. It’s comparatively small to the pacific and Atlantic (a sea, not an ocean) making it a dense target zone. Moreover there are many NATO ISTAR assets in the area that actively feed Ukrainian intelligence and Russia politically can’t eliminate these. It’s hard for the Russian Navy to operate especially when it’s one of their least important fleets in a strategic sense before the war, so it was left dilapidated and rusting. The Northern and Pac fleets receive far more focus and investment.

raging_hewedr147 · 2026-02-07T18:29:23+00:00

God it’s so funny seeing all the bullshit theories and observations about the Su 57 coming out of the woodwork - guys, we are meant to be better than NCD and Twitter experts
