No bodies? There was video earlier of a column Of soldiers that bailed out of there vehicles and ran into a building and the UK soldiers were pounding them with rpgs so that might be same column. The Russians were wiped out in the building |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SWIRE: There are 4 vehicles and as noted no bodies...worst day ever for Russia!  As others have mentioned are are the images of of all the equipment destroyed, captured soldiers, bodies...etc? None of that has really surfaced, just occasional pictures of a vehicle or two, yet reports showing counts of each type of vehicle are being spread far and wide. That leads me to believe that almost all the numbers and reports we are seeing are nothing but propaganda coming from all sides.Q predicted this..... |

One thing i've been wondering re: MANPADS.
Since Ukraine uses a lot of russian stuff how are the IFF's setup so a stinger wouldn't accidently shoot one of their own jets down. Kind of hard to see whose who on the ground. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TACTICAL: No bodies? Another site I frequent was saying Ukrainians are trying not to show pictures of bodies so the Russian population sees them as sympathetic to their losses. They've allowed some POWs to call home and tell their parents they're alive. Good move. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dsparil: They're suggesting that the US intelligence community baited Russia into a war with the Ukraine by telling China in December that Ukraine was joining NATO knowing that China would tell Putin.

Did Putin know this would become the new fear porn to replace covid? Did he anticipate and want the global reaction and infamy? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By USMCTanker: Someone posted a video the other day that stated UKR KE ammo was obsolete Russian APFSDS that wouldn’t be effective against current Russian MBTs. Tanks weren’t “horrible” by regional standards, but main gun ammo (and NV for that matter) was terribly dated. Maybe more contemporary 125mm ammo has been donated to UKR along with the other munitions and weapons. Yes the modernized T-64 is a decent MBT, but as you say the weak point is piss-poor penetrators. I'm sure they're getting better ones though, it must be at the top of the list. Nevertheless the most effective tool the Ukranians have is the man with the Javelin. |

Welp, looks like I'm going to be spending my Sunday preparing the fallout shelter.
 Based on that map it appears my little corner of Kentucky will not require any sheltering for fallout. And I'm not close enough to any primary targets to be worried about blast damage. Still, I think I will play things safe and be prepared for spending at least 2-7 days in my concrete underground storm shelter. I'm taking food, water, cots, lights, batteries, blankets and other necessities there now. What a fucking world. |
