Konstantine believes the dam is starting to break on what Russia has been telling their population about , well pretty much everything, vs reality. He is convinced the russian people are about to learn about what is going on as pro-kremlin mouthpieces are starting to speak up about the military situation, the economy situation, and the lack of manufacturing in Russia of trains and planes and everything they get from the west.
He is a russian refugee with business experience. He makes clear he doesn't claim to be an expert.  TRUTH'S COMING OUT IN RUSSIA |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: …. According to him, the disappearance of Girkin from the public field happened at the moment when the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Serhii Shoigu began to fight with those bloggers who were beyond his control and actively criticized him. …. On November 17, the District Court of The Hague found Ihor Girkin one of the three guilty of the downing of flight MH17 in Donbas and the death of almost 300 passengers and crew members. The terrorist was sentenced to life imprisonment in absentia. I think it vastly more likely they wanted him out of the international media sphere before his sentence came down, and all that dredged up and in the headlines again. Having a notorious and wanted war criminal as a de facto spokesman is bad look, even for Russians. |

GLSDB is a de facto cruise missile and could be pretty useful. I wonder how vulnerable they are to interception.
I also wonder how many CRV7 rockets have escaped destruction so far and if they could be deployed on hummers as a direct fire weapon. |

I'm thinking many may just be green and terrified into freezing. There's a reason they're dropped from the altitude that they are. VOGs are critical low in UA. Sorry to hear that! I would have hoped Eastern Europe would have had more of those to donate (maybe they will find some?) I’ve posted this before: https://topwar.ru/uploads/posts/2019-12/1577015719_07-vog-17.jpg This version of the 30mm VOG-17 is meant for a Russian belt fed full auto grenade launcher. The Ukrainians discard the steel case and propelling charge to save weight, and they add 3D printed fins for drone drop duty. But there is another version of the VOG-17: https://s3.envato.com/files/231577366/screenshot001.png Obviously this version isn’t suitable for grenade launcher use, but rather, it meant to be thrown. The Ukrainians also modify and drop both US and Ruskie impact-detonating 40mm grenades, modified for the purpose. Yeah all the VOG ammo is in very short supply and I’m not sure anyone makes it other than Serbia and Russia or something. 40mm HEDP is used but it’s not as good (compromise round) for Anti personnel as you cutaway shows. They are starting to manufacture stuff 3-D, but it’s a huge army with three lines of supply, one for the territorial guys (whatever they can get) for example the rapira is still a primary anti tank gun in many units. They will have some RPGs and panzerfausts (much loved) and NLAWs but generally those are kept at the company CP and distributed as needed. Grenades are everywhere. Same with NG troops. The regular army pulls better stuff unless they are in Bakhmut where supplies were stored for years, SSO and Airborne has better pickings generally but it’s such a plethora of stuff from so many places it really depends where your at. I can say that Vogs are low low so much so you’ll rarely see gps on Aks or AGLS used anymore. Same with the Hydra 82mm mortar thing . They might capture some and use it till they run out but the Soviet stuff is running low in some cases. Whole depots of that stuff is being accumulated. They make 40mm there but it’s low production, they even have a cool light weight 40mm mk19 AgLS machine gun domestically designed and manufactured but last I heard maybe 100 had been made. That was pre war so I’m not sure now. Same with ARs, they make good ones Zbroyar but not enough to really matter. Sent you a box of CR123s; sorry I don’t own any VOG-17s or any other explosives to send over. Joking aside: while the Finns are answering the call for AA ammo for the German Gepards, could other countries in Europe step up by producing a specific drone grenade? I know the Poles have a large domestic arms industry and the Czechs are famous for their explosives industry; the Italians are know for their manufacturing flexibility and speed of production. And the former USSR countries really must do a search for any VOG-17 stockpiles. I think the Ukrainians should try and switch to domestic, craft produced drone drop munitions. In middle school, I was big into Air Cannons / Potato Cannons. We fired these PVC darts, made from 7"x1/2" PVC and the top of a water bottle, which served as the fins. Worked like a giant blowgun dart. A few times we stuck .22 Nail Gun blanks in the nose cone, and shot them into walls, where they'd go off with a nice bang. Demo one I just built for the picture; its empty.  It would not be difficult for Ukraine to convert these little guys into 2xVOG surrogates. Fill with scavenged HE from anti tank mines, put an impact activated blasting cap in the nose (this could be as simple as a dowel rod that slams into the cap, held with a bit of scotch tape), wrap the body in notched wire or adhesive affixed bbs. Basically the same form factor as the 2x VOGs. And with the water bottle base, theres no need for 3D printing fins, as they fly with surprising accuracy and stability with just the water bottle base. They could turn out a number of these very quickly with minimal hand tools, and wouldn't even need electricity. I'm not sure how I'd get the idea to 'Ukrainian Drone Command' but hopefully someone can. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: More hype about these guys from the Russia-appointed Governor of Zaporizhzhia- Today, the volunteers of the Sudoplatov battalion conducted combat coordination. Although today we are talking not about a battalion, but about a company and not just one. In addition to physical training and combat shooting, the fighters are testing new highly mobile equipment. The unit's vehicle fleet includes airborne and trucks, heavy and light armored vehicles, which are necessary to perform combat and tactical tasks. The administration of the Zaporozhye region consistently provides support to all volunteers, keeps under control all issues related to equipment, weapons and technical equipment of the military unit. The volunteer battalion includes not only our countrymen, but also guys from the Crimea, Kherson, the Urals and other regions of our great Motherland. All volunteers undergo a specialized background check. Guys with combat experience and those who have never served in the army are gaining experience shoulder to shoulder. https://t.me/BalitskyEV/515 Interesting product placement- https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/203719/EEBC6FDC-06C3-4181-88E0-D3793AEFAE7F-2609737.jpg https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/203719/11BD71F3-86AF-47ED-A066-C7FDE702F7F6-2609738.jpg 762x39 and lots of holosun, hummm |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Taboot: Won't all their logistical problems just become that much worse as well? Food, ammo, clothing, fuel, etc. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Taboot: Originally Posted By MelGibsonEnthusiast: Originally Posted By sq40: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/49447/7CAB6A34-9184-4698-A207-397174FF6F8F_jpe-2609892.JPG If the 300k they have are ineffective as fuck more is going to do nothing but prolong things and increase the death toll to more horrific levels. I can't help but think that Putin is hoping to throw bodies at Ukraine long enough that the West eventually grows tired of funding the war. That's the only rationale I can see behind further mobilization. They're running out of AKs that aren't rust buckets. A bunch of ill fed, ill equipped riflemen aren't going to win a war. It doesn't seem like they are able to pull from their thousands of sitting T-72s as they're digging into the T-62 pile. I doubt they have the infrastructure to maintain and equipment much more heavy weaponry. Really depends on if their industry can refurbish their old stuff quick enough. I am going to assume that is a no. And I doubt they will be able to train them properly. |
