Being killed by a dolphin and its handlers sounds like an incredibly humiliating death.  As they say in the video. The intercept procedure is that the dolphin swims up behind the diver and attaches a device to the divers back that inflates a buoy and drags the diver up to the surface. Where the Dolphins handlers huck a grenade in the divers face. A dolphin could easily be trained to kill the diver directly. But apparently this is not done because of the risk of the dolphin killing friendlies. Some poor guy assigned to do an underwater inspection swimming along. The dolphin doesn't know that he's supposed to be there, blammo! |

Thats a targeted WMD without a doubt and they are fielding this in cluster bombs as we speak. Find out how a CBU105 works and then make it a drone. These baby munitions can penetrate tank armor spinning around on a cluster bomb and target a particular vehicle, that was done back in 2003. Now give it 2022 level computing and wings to fly away and it could target and destroy anyone or everyonce that was in its intelligence workup such as military members, fighting aged males, males, anyone over 10, or just anyone that supports a party or has a 4473 on file. This shit and other shit like the Disinformation Office of the DHS should bother people just like the Patriot Act shit of 20 years ago when we didnt care about the rights we gave away going after terrorists (and back then I didnt care so Im not special). |

@et_slowpoke
First and only thing I am going to say to you. Maybe you're bored, maybe you're just...slow...but: Stop relying on the interest and knowledge of people in this thread to scratch whatever indescribable pseudo-intellectual itch you have. Are you lonely? Maybe get a parakeet for someone to talk to, or start haunting your local public library. They will have plenty of free issues of all the major publications to evaluate for yourself, and they can probably tell you how to view a licensed subscription to Jane's, or Foreign Policy, or whatever. ARF in general, and GD, and this thread in particular, is not a retirement home. We are, admittedly, about 2 steps above a NYC street corner, but that standard erodes by the day, so don't hang your hat on it. However, people who have spent some or all of their professional lives developing and fielding the best ORC KILLING technologies have deigned to make some quality posts in this thread. But you're dumb. And lazy. And immediately boring. Do some reading on your own and try again later. Or never, that would be fine too.  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Saltwater-Hillbilly: I don't think that Putin has to worry about the Russian people overthrowing him, as the folks who oppose Putin are marginalized and many of them who have the capability to leave have fled. I am kind of going with the article in that the senior Orcs and oligarchs are getting worried that the combination of rapid brain drain, getting your best troops and most patriotic kids ground up, getting your best military equipment wrecked, blowing up Russia's economy, destroying 30 years worth international relations/diplomacy, having Ukrainian commandos running around in Russia randomly blowing up key LOCs, and becoming a dependency of China, just might not be in Russia's best long-term interest. Putin doesn't have to worry about the kool-aid drinkers, he has to worry about the fact that the other Orcs and oligarchs who helped mix the kool-aid aren't drinking it. The oligarchs and generals are losing or on the verge of losing their stuff now. Money and bank accounts, real estate abroad, yachts, jets, and status even outside Russia. They know they will become like serfs again if they continue on the current path. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By doc540: Are we witnessing mobile armor becoming obsolete? I realize the Ruskies don't have adequate infantry to perform frontal sweeps, but the range and accuracy of dozens of anti-armor platforms is improving exponentially. coffins on treads and tracks  I think we'll always have APC / IFVs to transport troops and protect them from small arms and artillery fragments. Even if they can be destroyed by ATGMs, infantry on foot can be destroyed by basically anything, so a net improvement. But tanks...to me they don't make ton of sense given the current technology. Massive cost and logistical challenges compared to lighter vehicles, now increasingly vulnerable to man portable weapons, and all to deliver 40 shots of 120mm... |

From Battered Mariupol Steel Plant, Fighters Share Desperate Videos to Push Out Story
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/29/world/europe/mariupol-steel-plant-video.html The footage shows a child wearing a makeshift diaper crafted out of tape and plastic bags, asleep in a dank and moldy room. An elderly woman with a bandaged head is seen dressed in a uniform jacket, once worn by steel plant workers, as she shakes uncontrollably. And small children make plaintive requests. “We want to go home,” a girl says. “We want to see the sunshine.” These scenes are from videos shared online in recent days by the Azov regiment, a unit in the Ukrainian military, which says they were taken in the mazelike bunkers beneath the sprawling Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol, Ukraine. Russian soldiers control the rest of the city, and fighting continues around the plant. The plant has become the last refuge for thousands of trapped Ukrainian fighters and civilians. There is no escape, and little chance of rescue. |

Russian troops entered Ukraine at the end of February in what Putin called a 'special military operation' to demilitarise and 'denazify' Ukraine and barred the use of the word 'war', thinking it would be over in a few weeks. However, army chiefs - frustrated that the invasion has now stretched into the third week - have called on the Russian president to declare war which would enable a mass mobilisation of Russian troops and an escalation in the conflict. Britain's Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said that the Russian president might use Russia's victory day parade on May 9 to announce the mass mobilisation of his reserves for a final push in Ukraine. It comes as ex-Nato chief Richard Sherriff warned the West must 'gear itself up' for a 'worst case scenario' war with Russia in Ukraine. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/04/29/09/57195195-10766541-image-a-4_1651221926916.jpg Russian military vehicles take part in a rehearsal of Victory Day military parade marking the 77th anniversary of the end to World War 2, at Red Square in Moscow, Russia on April 28, 2022 A Russian military source told the Telegraph: 'The military are outraged that the blitz on Kyiv has failed. 'People in the army are seeking payback for failures of the past and they want to go further in Ukraine.' Earlier this week, the Russian military was said to be furious that Putin had downsized the invasion of Ukraine and called for a new escalation of the conflict. Speaking on Friday, Mr Wallace said Putin may declare a new war against the world's 'Nazis' at the victory day parade which sees Moscow mark the end of Russia's involvement in the Second World War. With Putin's military having failed in their first wave of military objectives, Moscow has re-focused its efforts on seizing both the east and southern coast of Ukraine. Some analysts had predicted that Putin wanted to be in a position where he could declare some form of victory on May 9. But with Russia's victory day parade now less than two weeks away, that is looking less likely. Instead, Mr Wallace told LBC Radio that Putin could use the occasion to declare a new war on who he would call the world's Nazis to galvanise his populace in another push against the Ukrainian defenders. 'I would not be surprised... that he is probably going to declare on May Day that "we are now at war with the world's Nazis and we need to mass mobilise the Russian people",' Mr Wallace said on Friday morning. While several countries, including the UK, mark VE Day - the anniversary of the allied victory over Nazi Germany in the Second World War - on May 8, Russia marks the data on May 9 due to the time difference. The end of all combat actions came at 23:01 Central European Time on Tuesday May 8, 1945 - which was already May 9 in Soviet Bloc countries, including in Russia. Mr Sherriff today said Russia was likely to double down on its approach to Ukraine, insisting to its people that it is the right approach. He told BBC Radio 4: 'The worst case is war with Russia. By gearing itself up for the worst case, it is most likely to deter Putin because ultimately Putin respects strength.' However, as in the first months of the invasion, Russian forces are being met with heavy Ukrainian resistance from Kyiv's determined armies. Continued What he gonna do? Nationwide draft? Note that the article is pure speculation. |
