    Maggie’s How a Hybrid really works... Cradle to grave...

    Which are in almost all ways a more sustainable solution at present than full EVs.

    Perp takes 4 rds and just walks it off .

    You mean like the same way issuing optical sights has reduced hit rates with long guns?

    Maxim MG's in Ukraine

    Oh man, I didn’t think 100cc pickup bed tricycle was a thing outside the third world… or maybe Russia and its proxies are? Reminds me of the zarang that is ubiquitous in Afghanistan/Pakistan. Most have dump beds. I have seen an SG43 mounted on one. However, for the OG water cooled MG...

    Maxim MG's in Ukraine

    Hah, "light nimble and fast" he says, referencing two water-cooled MGs... When you need stuff like this to make your gun work:

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    If they are hiding it, they don’t need much help. There does not seem to be much Ukrainian casualty data or imagery coming out. Plenty of pictures of destroyed Ukrainian equipment. Their digi-paint pattern is distinctive, and they seem to fielding (as well as losing) a lot of T-64BVs. Haven’t...

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    One of the most objective, even handed (and sadly) accurate posts of this thread. Does not take much for the veneer of order to fall away.

    Maxim MG's in Ukraine

    Interesting dual mount. Those guns aren't set up for it, but old school HMG theory could be useful in the war they are fighting, and will do more of as this becomes more of an insurgency. A water cooled HMG used like artillery to create a beaten zone a maximum range against area targets like...

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    One month in, this becomes the case. Lot of premier combat formations and blood/material committed to the North/West for a just a holding action. What we're seeing is an army on the verge of culmination and an attempt to save face by falling back on the minimum objectives. Russia can still win...

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    The Bundeswehr‘s current state of readiness is poor. They do have a rather long tradition of building capable armies from scratch… Also, I doubt compelling the Germans to re-arm and look East again was one of Russia’s objectives…

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    The assertion that this conflict was all about protecting the Donbass breakaway regions is about as credible as “the ghost of Kiev” story. Pretty much the oldest trick in the book. However, he did try to do it on the cheap (initially) with minimal collateral damage, cost, and casualties- that...

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    Media just spinning to their viewership. People love a good “plucky underdog defies evil empire“ story. There is a grain of truth to it, looks like Ukraine has had some pretty spectacular successes at the tactical and even operational level. That those are the stories coming out are further...

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    Looks about right. Lot of bluster from media outlets, social media, and some politicians, but no one who is serious in the academic or foreign policy community actually thinks Ukraine is winning in the traditional sense- their military capacity is badly degraded and they are steadily losing...

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    Rotational deployments as part of ERI/EDI to the region have been going on for almost the greater part of a decade. Nothing new to see here. Much like all the heavy metal on rail transport people are noticing on the west coast... been going on for years but only now being noticed, reported and...

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    What war/eco gaming shows that? LRRPF is not wrong. I think the point he is making is that the United States' geography is so good, it cannot help but to be successful, if not pre-eminent. People don't think geopolitics be like it is, but it do...

    Biden to ban Russian oil. Get ready for $10.00 gas.

    The entire defense budget is discretionary. Just ask those contractors what a continuing resolution, or better yet a lapse in appropriations, does.

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    Love A-10s, but they would last about a nanosecond here. Great when the primary threat was a ZSU 23-4 but just no longer survivable, at all, against modern air defense systems. That is why the services keep trying to get rid of them.
