The Russia/Ukraine War Thread


Sharpshooter

Recommended Posts

More on the political front,.  

Politicians need to take off the kids gloves with members like Orban representing Hungary.

 

Now orbán is a Trojan horse that destroys the unity of the EU and tries to show that the countries of the bloc should ignore Ukraine, - Czech Minister Martin Dvořák He believes that the Prime Minister of Hungary is blackmailing Europe.

 "I think that the real name of the Hungarian approach is blackmail. I think that the real name is the abuse of the right of veto not to protect the national interests of Hungary, but to protect the interests of russia," Dvořák said.

Finally someone called a spade a spade.

This just shows us how Putin has spread his tentacles throughout Europe to undermine it and create unrest on many levels.

 

Every Western country needs to dig into whom ever they are suspicious of in this kind of war fare ..

including Canada.

 

allowing agents of Putin to operate in Western Countries at a time like this where he is fighting for his own survival,.

is the time to squeeze, crush, and or return these orca back to the Motherland.

                     Deportation is an excellent tool.

UKR Ingenuity !!

 

Ukraine's homegrown Bohdana 155mm self-propelled howitzer matches the range of pricier Western models at half the cost - $2.5 million apiece.🔥

The scrappy, modular system was rapidly developed amid war, with production decentralized after missile strikes. 

Using adapted Soviet trucks and NATO shells, 30 Bohdana units now back Ukraine on the front lines, with 6 more monthly. 

Reliable and easily repaired in the field, none have been destroyed after two years of relentless combat against Russia's onslaught. 💪

While exports seem unlikely for now, Bohdana's affordability and durability make it a game-changing asset for Ukraine's defense.

From the clip:

 

National Airlines Flight 102 was a tragic cargo flight incident that occurred on April 29, 2013, in Afghanistan. The flight was en route from Camp Bastion in Afghanistan to Al Maktoum Airport in Dubai, with a refueling stop at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. The Boeing 747-400 aircraft, named Lori, crashed shortly after takeoff from Bagram, resulting in the death of all seven crew members on board, all of whom were U.S. citizens. On the day of the accident, the aircraft was loaded with five heavy armored vehicles at Camp Bastion and stopped at Bagram for refueling.

U.S. to announce new aid package for Ukraine in late December, it will be the last allocation - White House

"We are planning another aid package for Ukraine later this month," a White House official told reporters at a briefing.

The Biden adviser also added that without a decision by the US Congress on the allocation of funding, Washington would no longer have available resources to support Ukraine.

ok lets look at something 
the T90M
no its not a new tank... its about 31 years old.....
1.  its big thing was its french made sight...
2. it uses a similar engine from a T72 (WWII vintage)
3. similar auto loader from a T72
4. similar gun from a T-72
5. its too small to be considered a heavy tank (48 tons)
6. its too heavy to be considered a light tank
7. produces 500 HP less than a M1
8. is 12km slower than a M1
9. is 20 years newer than a M1
10. has 22 less tons of armor than a M1
11. its remote gun hardly ever works, not protected
12. it can fire long range guided rounds, but they are rare
13. the russian made sight sucks, and they cant get the french one any more
14. we have vid of a T-90 being taken out by a RPG, from the front, hitting the thickest place on the tank.. and killing it. 
15. the most advanced armor on the tank is.. simple steel.  they say some plastic and aluminum is in it but come on... its steel blocks. 
16. the gun can not go to -10 deg, this means no hull down shooting. 
17. the tracks are too thin so it sinks in the mud faster 
18. we know that kontact 5 armor is a joke compared to the west, and many boxes are filled with wood or plastic. 

all in all its a dated tank that i hope they keep building while ukraine learns and gets new generation western tanks that will save lives.  but will unfortunately remove them (ukraine) from the turret launch events.
