This could be an opportunity to secure another extra 30 F-16 Block 30's for Ukraine in the future. They are already flyable, just need some updates and work for getting them ready like the European contribution of F-16's. This could put the total contribution to about 90 F-16's then for Ukraine.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ad_nauseam: I know it's not as effective as jamming but 12 gauge should definitely make a come back. Just one more thing semiauto 12 gauge is useful for. I just don't see it. Improvised FPV drones are already borderline to small / fast to handle with a shotgun, and as the designs improve that will only get worse. Cover / netting is becoming critical for any static position imo. The only good defense against fast FPV drones is a barrier |

Being the first to fire seems to be a LOT more important at these ranges than what's used to aim that fire. Situational awareness is also huge, how many dudes have we seen get smoked from the flank? Hard to kill what you don't see. In my late teens and early 20s I read a lot of first hand accounts from Vietnam, some of the forest footage echoes those memoirs, all of a sudden some asshole who is really intent on killing you appears and it's a race to see who sends the most lead first. |

Putin (and fellow travelers) isn't worried about the threat of invasion by NATO. Putin is worried about his diminishing ability TO INVADE NATO. The door is closing, soon. Putin wants to apply as much pressure as possible to the West, everywhere, all the time. Israel, Africa, possibly Serbia. Cause chaos everywhere, get the West behind the decision curve, then act. The Russian military is in Ukraine as a vehicle to destroy NATO and achieve hegemony over Europe by force. Putin would actually love it if Europe divided Ukraine between themselves and Russia. This has been his propaganda all along and accomplishes his ideological goal, which is to prove to the west that its ideals mean nothing, there is no "rules based order", there is only the politics of spheres of influence.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: Originally Posted By strykr: Originally Posted By Capta: I believe the Russians will convince themselves the conventional balance of power will only get worse for them, and they can't wait any longer and will have to go with whatever they can scrape together as soon as they can, probably behind nuke threats or nuke use. It doesn't have to be sane, it only has to look sane to evil, desperate men. My opinion is and has been that a combination of incompetence, corruption, high-level losses, and most importantly, high stress on their system in multiple ways has probably rendered Russian leadership incapable of making sound strategic decisions. NATO needs to consider anything and everything as possible. Doubtful. Putin knows there is no real risk from NATO, that is why all the Russian military is in Ukraine, not on the NATO border or in Kaliningrad. It would take a huge mobilization effort just to move troops close enough to the Baltics for an assault. And where would he find the tanks for it? He just acts tough because he wants NATO to stay away from Ukraine. Consider this, the way he invaded the East of Ukraine, NATO could decide to move in from the West, to establish a buffer zone. The same way Poland was split in WWII between the Nazis and the Soviets. NATO could even use the violation of their territory as a pretext. Macron was already floating this idea, saying he would send French troops to Ukraine. That is what he is worried about and wants to prevent from happening by threatening overwhelming escalation.

They would have to withdraw in order to go around them, risking a collapse of the front. He needs to win in Ukraine first before he can open a second front. Sending Russian troops to Belarus, with the intention of invading the Baltics would be the signal that the war is now spreading to multiple countries, and is no longer a localized conflict. Troop movements would be picked up with the satellites. NATO must have a play book already for this exact scenario. The proper response for this would likely be NATO troops moving into Western Ukraine and/or a no fly zone. Poland would also have time to prepare for the war with Belarus. Russia cannot move through Belarus fast enough to surprise the Baltics, since NATO already anticipates this move. It would take weeks to move those old BMPs and T-64s from Ukraine, and Putin must know that those tanks are no match for NATO. He would be better off taking a chunk of Ukraine now, get a peace treaty, then try again in a few years, after he has rebuilt his military. NATO moving into Western Ukraine would end the possibility of bringing Ukraine into Putin's sphere of influence. It would be a disaster as far as he is concerned. They could easily move up to the Dnipro without meeting any resistance. It would pretty much end Putin's hopes of gaining further ground within Ukraine. |

Falling, jumping from tanks and trucks, cramming into the back of a HMMV with 8 guys and gear, explosions, flooded trenches, frost and ice in the AM, sweltering heat in the PM, crawling through mud...I think only an ACOG could survive. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By voyager3: How do people use these two-story setups when even the stock irons are too tall for a proper cheek weld for me without an adjustable cheekpiece ?The rmr is used up close and personal. You don't need a solid cheek weld to hit man sized targets between 10 and 30 meters with a red dot. It's actually counterproductive. You don't want to be down on your rifle during a cqb scenario. You want your head upright in a position where your peripheral vision is effective scanning for targets. |

You simply keep a more heads-up position instead of face against the stock. Especially good with NVG. You'd be surprised at how natural it is after a little practice. Some prefer the offset RDS but I haven't tried those. The question is where to zero the RDS. I do at around 15-20 yards. Anyway you probably will NOT be using them for hostage-rescue shots... |

Although it's possible that Russia could squirrel away some vehicles but it would take a freak miracle to move them into position. It reminds me of the Battle of the Bulge where Germany did just what we are talking about thanks to no sat-intel, complacency, and perfect weather for the Germans. Russia has their hands full now in Ukraine. And that is my/our arguments for NATO support. Once the pressure if off Russia (from a victory in Ukraine or favorable cease-fire) then an attack like this become more of a danger. |

Serbia in the coming days. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GJogK2HXsAA1zqf?format=jpg&name=small Russia plays Serbia like a fiddle. I am sure whatever cryptic threat has been shared, it has very little to do with reality. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Lieh-tzu: State Department. Of course. State Department is very interested in NOT defeating Russia, that is their goal. This brief exchange completely supports that perspective. Mark Miller is a dumbass. "We do not support or encourage Ukraine taking strikes outside its own territory." Mr. Miller, follow-up question - do you mean that your position is that Ukraine should not win the war? They didn't tell Ukraine to stop, just that the US doesn't support it. Big difference. |

in the direction of frontline through Kadiivka-Pervomaisk-Popasna line. In addition to that, Kamaz pontoon trucks (PP-2005) and fuel trucks were also spotted in large quantities. Similar activity is being reported by residents of Russia-occupied part of Lugansk Oblast, near the border with the Russian Federation. The vehicles move in the direction of Luhansk & Debaltseve (around 40 Ural trucks and 20 fuel trucks counted only yesterday).
