Re: Mopologist William Schryver Continues His Descent Into Madness

Expanding upon comments made above regarding the situation for those unfortunate Russians caught up in Putin's mobilization. “Everyone's drunk. No uniforms. No food.” That's Aleksandr Koltun, a thirty-five-year-old father of six talking to his wife back in Russia two days after being drafted and sen...

Re: Mopologist William Schryver Continues His Descent Into Madness

Surrendering in battle when the situation is hopeless is one thing, but voluntarily driving out to hand over an armed and armoured vehicle to the enemy for cash is plain treason. It's a big step worse than just sabotaging your own vehicle and walking home. As noted by the Pentagon, it turns out tha...

Re: Mopologist William Schryver Continues His Descent Into Madness

So the film is by no means obviously staged. It might be genuine. It might still also be staged. If it was staged, it was at least staged pretty competently. I'd mainly like to see where that BMP came from. The sudden start of the film is the most suspicious thing, now that I think about it, but ma...

Re: Mopologist William Schryver Continues His Descent Into Madness

While we are on the topic of thousands of tungsten balls spraying over infantry concentrations, this UK Ministry of Defence posting seems relevant: Relying on the market to solve the problem? Very post-Soviet ... I wonder which oligarch is making money out of this? In this vein, one also wonders wh...

Re: Mopologist William Schryver Continues His Descent Into Madness

Going back to the topic of HIMARS armed with tungsten steel balls - yeah, they’re designed for soft targets and target coverage. I think we’ll see them used on ammo caches, command posts, supply points and trains, and of course clearing trenches, to include clearing mines. Speaking of trenches, her...

Re: Mopologist William Schryver Continues His Descent Into Madness

Egg Carton Armor and "Jack-in-the-Box” Tanks An important difference in armor operations between Desert Storm and Ukraine is that the Russian tanks used by Iraq in Desert Storm did not have explosive reactive armor (ERA). Russian tanks in Ukraine do have ERA, after a fashion, which is somewhat effe...

Re: Mopologist William Schryver Continues His Descent Into Madness

The little HIMARS slugs won’t penetrate armor. You could drive through the burst of one of these munitions in a tank, and it would just be a hard, loud rain on the roof. Although tungsten is dense and hard, the small HIMAR shot simply does not have enough kinetic energy to pierce heavy armor. The k...

Re: Mopologist William Schryver Continues His Descent Into Madness

Earlier this week Putin wasted a significant portion of his dwindling supply of Russia's 'sorta smart' missiles on an indiscriminate and ineffectual revenge attack on civilian targets in several cities in Ukraine. Russians wasted more than 80 missiles just to make themselves feel better as their Arm...
