/k/ - Weapons and Militaria

Russians raportedly managed to brake two Ukrainian defensive lines in a few days at Ocheretino, taking it almost on march. Ukrainans are in big danger and must immediately transfer reserves to stabilize the situation or risk Russian brakethrough .

I love these tutels but I feel like you could make this concept (well a mechanized, heavilly protected mineclearer/ siege ram) more efficent, better and cheaper .  Maybe use BMP instead, and replace the driver with drone controls. You could even make it fly by wire to prevent jamming.
>>1715
Ukrainians have been pretty much out of reserves for a year already. Shit is fucked, I doubt

>>1716
... that even the newly passed aid bill will be capable of turning the tide, there is simply not enough meat and ammo to meet the demands.

Russians have began to actively promoting group N for group North. Hold on to your butts. The northern front will be opened in sumy  and Kharkiv

The Second Cold War Is Escalating Faster Than the First
https://archive.ph/e3a0R
>In J.R.R. Tolkien’s great epic, The Lord of the Rings, it becomes apparent only gradually that the forces of darkness have united. Sauron, with his baleful all-seeing eye, emerges as the leader of a vast axis of evil: the Black Riders, the corrupted wizard Saruman, the subhuman orcs, the malignant courtier Wormtongue, the giant venomous spider Shelob — they are all in it together, and Mordor is their headquarters.
>Tolkien knew whereof he wrote. A veteran of World War I, he watched with dismay the approach of a second great conflagration. Sipping pints of bitter and puffing his pipe in “The Shire” — his idealized Middle England — he could only shudder as Nazi Germany, fascist Italy and imperialist Japan came together to form their Axis in 1936-37, and mutter, “I told you so,” when Hitler and Stalin joined forces in 1939.
>We, too, are witnessing the formation and consolidation of an Axis. I was vividly reminded of Tolkien by a tweet published by the conservative broadcaster Mark R. Levin on Tuesday. It is worth quoting: “Appeasement is escalation. Our enemies are on the move. Our allies are being encircled and attacked or soon attacked. … Conservatism and MAGA are not about isolationism or pacifism. They’re not about appeasement or national suicide. … It is up to us, patriotic Americans, to step into the breach and get this done now.”
Have the normalfags gone full retard?

>The Second Cold War Is Escalating Faster Than the First
Well I mean, yeah. When the first Cold War started everyone was basically flat footed and atomic weapons and their countermeasures were being developed as they go along. Additionally The public was absolutely balls out terrified of nuclear war and it even leaked into pop culture.
Nowadays the weapons and delivery systems already exist and probably more importantly the average normalfag doesn't really believe that an atomic exchange could happen so their "moralizing" us-vs-them attitude is completely untempered. 

It really feels like we're all headed for something nasty. Ironically I think possibly the only thing that might sober everyone up before it's too late would be for some major power, or one of their client states, to use a tactical weapon in a way that is not immediately escalatory. Either that or engage in an open air test.

>>1736
>might sober everyone up before it's too late
Why contain it?

Some big shit within Russian MoD was arrested under the corruption charges.
The Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov was arrested for taking some pretty hefty bribes.

Not Ukraine war related per say, but could be indicative of Russians starting to get their shit together on the homefront too. Unsurprisingly the news of his arrest was met with very positive response with Russian general public.

>>1741
>Some big shit within Russian MoD was arrested under the corruption charges.
They arrested the entire MoD? I kid, but it had to be some wild shit if it stood out that badly considering corruption and slavs are basically synonyms.

>>1742
>it had to be some wild shit if it stood out that badly
More likely just pissed off/inconvenienced the wrong people. 'Corruption charges' is the go to way to purge someone. As the saying over there goes "for my friends everything, for my enemies: the law."

>>1744
That's more than likely true too but the 
>the news of his arrest was met with very positive response with Russian general public.
part is what I'm looking at. If that sort of reaction isn't just fake/exaggerated news it was probably some crazy shit because Russians in particular seem to otherwise be nearly completely desensitized to blatant corruption.

Corruption may be endemic but there's still varying degrees of corruption, it's one thing to buy your way out of a traffic ticket or avoid some administrative bullshit - it's the norm - or even when the local police chief drives around in luxury cars. It's a whole game when public officials *somehow* obtain multi-million dollar mansions and yachts because it sure ain't from their official salary. Who doesn't love to see a giant?
From what I read this guy in particular was known for a long time to flaunt his wealth of dubious provenance, but had protection from working closely with Shoigu going years back. It had to be Putin who made the call to have him arrested, my best guess is some of the kickbacks ended up undermining his agenda in Ukraine.

It is disgusting. If you wanted to write an article about a growing power as a threat and you wanted to hearken back to the days of sword spear and shield you could talk about
>The Mongols against the Chinese, Koreans and Persians
>The Huns against the Romans and Goths
>The Persians against the Greeks
>The Macedonians against the Persians and Greeks
>The Romans against the Germanic tribes
Etc

But no,
>In da Lord of the Rings there was the good guys and da bad guys and da bad guys all united against the good guys so we had to derp de herp magic!
Fucking ingrates.

>>1753
>If you wanted to write an article
Maybe he did, but who the hell would now a days understand any of those references?
To give some credit he did reference Tolkien's work rather than the movies. Fantasy or not Tolkien was a great writer and there's plenty of allegory to be had from his work.

>>1752
Thankfully Ukraine will get F-16s, so now the Russian front will collapse from the might of the wunderwaffe.

>>1754
A bigger issue is that the aithor of the work fails to understand Faramir (like the movies did), the underlying Christianity, and how LotR was shaped by Tolkien's experience in WWI. Tying it to the modern myth of WWII is wrong, and disingenuous. 
I don't mind talking Tolkien. But yeah, any of the "barbarians at the gate", Greeks vs. Persians, or even defense of Europe from Ottomans or defense of anyone from the Mongols would work better then Tolkien for what the author is trying to convey. So called conservatives should be using millennia of history to back their arguments, and not rely on the past century, as if only the last 85 years matter.

You jest but does Ukraine have any functional runways left for the F-16? I'm guessing any "real" airports runways are either bombed out now or will be shortly if they become relevant. With that low mounted air intake grass/dirt fields are out of the question. There should be have plenty of "strategic highways" left designed for transporting nuclear launchers from the soviet days but that sounds like a logistical nightmare in the best of times.
Trebuchets it is, I guess.

New Russian airports have started to pop up in Kursk and Belgorod region. Pic related is reported to be around 70 km from Sumy/Kahrkov region and is 1600 m long, capable of hosting Su-34's.

Lol. Lmao. That laundry list of new military support for Ukraine and successful artillery/drone strikes deep into Russia makes me feel like I'm reading a part of the prelude to World War III though.

>>1766
Military support doesn't mean much when your troops are severely depleted and almost all of your infrastructure in the combat zones is fucked. If NATO troops get directly involved then you should worry otherwise it's still just a continuation of the Ukrainian genocide at the behest of psychopathic western leadership to fight against an uncompromising KGB agent. I don't see gay toe ever doing that though, just like with the UN they won't do shit without the USA's approval and the USA is currently having a prolonged schizophrenic meltdown and can't even defend its own borders.

Ukrainians beleve that Russia will launch new offensive on Kharkov axis before 9th of May.
Time will tell.

The Russians are fighting at Novoalexandrovka, towards the highway. If that 
happens  konstantinovka will be cut off from pokrovsk. Honestly i haven't seen this amount of movement since last year

I guess they want to push as much as they can before the new equipment arrives.

Oh fug, the Russians are coming after New York.

The Ukrainians keep trying to blow up Russian refineries, despite the Biden administration telling them to knock that shit off. If they actually manage to Pepcon the shit out out one of them then things might get pretty heated in Ukraine.  Also Europe and America will suffer a fuel shortage and rising prices going into an election.
