Apparently, the Javelin is designed to attack from the top.
That's right. What's more, almost all of the new generation anti armor weapons are designed for the top strike, quite a few of them are two stage weapons to defeat the active and passive defenses. Not a good time to be a tanker.

It can attack both from the top and from the side. I recently watched a detailed army training video on youtube and it has various modes they use based on the need, the distance of the target etc.,.

Still has vulnerable tracks and it's open to the top attack no matter how much protection they pile up front and side. It's the old story; in the race between the munitions and protections, munitions win every time. If you can see, you can hit it. If you can hit it, you can kill it.
Yup, people overstate tanks. Not to mention the terrain, context and size of the tanks also matter in how effective one is.

The above and many, many other posts and videos that u have shattered us with, demonstrates an avid affliction for all manner and matter 'military, conflict and war', that is in sharp contrast to your self-professed claim of "no war, peace and love."

I mean, I could understand this if it came from someone with a military background and battleground conflict experience, but for someone firmly ensconced in your idiosyncratic special space, much less ardor for military and conflict and much more peace-nikking would not only be more appropriate, but also more believable.

1. It is patently idiotic to deride an anti-war position based on someone reading about or watching videos on military weapon systems. They are unrelated.
2. It is naive, foolish and downright unintelligent to assume that someone who is anti-war, should as part of their anti-war position, display no interest in anything related to the military, weapons, conflicts, war or the related histories because you couldn't advocate for an anti-war position without knowledge of those things.
3.You do not get to decide what is appropriate and what isn't or even expect that I would give 2 shits about what you find believable. For all I know you are incapable of finding your own ass in the dark with both hands.

On you go to the ignore pile along with Franky.

So good that they are only sending them in after sending in refurbished T62/64s? and t54/55s.
...
I'd suggest their going in is a PR move for the home audience and they hadn't been sent in yet because they didn't want to lose them and make their military seem weak. At this point, even the average Russian has learned how much of a paper tiger they had so losing a few of their 'super-tanks' won't make a big splash.

I'd say the biggest real advantage the T-14 has over other Russian tanks is that I doubt the Colonels have sold off their spare parts yet.

AK rusts on the wet grass. It's the way they're made, that's the bad news. The good thing about the AK, even rusty it works just as well.
Probably using the same weapons you trained with decades ago.

But think what it does to any morale Russian conscripts have when they are given to be given the same guns their grandparents used and haven't been maintained since.

You're doing so well in this thread.
Who is next?
Mandrill?

Russian missile attacks are failing.

Ukraine is targeting rail infrastructure in one area.

Nothing whatsoever!

In fact, I'd round up and donate as many of the 'rifles' I trained with in my neighbourhood military career. So long as the Russians promised to use them! There would be as many one-eyed Russian soldiers as there were BB guns! (Well according to my mother)

"We Simply Don't Have The Ammo" - Polish General Says Can No Longer Supply Ukraine, Warns Russia Has Resources To Continue War


Via Remix News,
Speaking at a strategy session of the National Security Bureau, the Polish Armed Forces chief of staff General Rajmund Andrzejczak said that when he analyzes the war in Ukraine politically, he is pessimistic.
This is, he explained, because “there is nothing that indicates that Russia will lack the resources to continue the conflict.”




He said during the session that he did not feel sanctions would stop Russia from having the funds to continue the war.

The general also offered a bleak assessment of Poland’s ability to send ammunition to Ukraine.


He noted that he was tirelessly presenting such an analysis in order to raise awareness.

He continued his remarks by saying that “war is not the business of soldiers.”

It is rather “a question of politics with economic factors involving finance, infrastructure, technology, food, and a range of other problems that you have to figure into the equation to be able to understand it.”

Gen. Andrzejczak observed that “Ukraine is experiencing huge financial problems,” despite the huge aid packages it was receiving from the U.S., the West and Poland.

Gen. Andrzejczak told the National Security Bureau that he regarded the security situation facing Poland as highly dangerous. Asked if the leaders of the West appreciated how far Ukraine is from winning the war with Russia, he opined that “an honest assessment of the threats was still both a surprise and a shock for most of them.”

The general also said there was no indication that Ukrainians who fled their country would return home to start reconstruction, adding that he felt that the NATO summit in Vilnius will be “a summit to define our credibility, of NATO, and the whole of the West.”

If the response was “late” and lacking in determination, then Ukraine would have no chance of a secure future


PS. Mainstream media now showing their lies about Ukraine winning the war or Russia running out of amino … it just like the lies on IRAQ war justification likE IRAQ leader had WMD ! Ukrainian as a nation is finished when your younger demographic population fled from war and those ( western Ukrainian who fled Ukraine to EU or eastern Ukrainian to Russia) . They will never comeback !! Ukraine as a country will no longer exist!

PPS. Wonder if folks in the Ukraine think how much better off their country would be today if:

There was no 2014 coup

They still abided by the Minsk Accords and remained neutral

They never let NATO advisors in the country

They never shelled the Donbas

Oy, vey. 30-40 years old AK will work just as well as the new one providing all the parts are there. It's a very well built rifle of a great design. It's right up there with Mauser, Springfield and Garand in the hall of fame of firearms.
Oh, btw. The Ukrainians are using 1930s, 1940s vintage water cooled Maxim machine guns, still with original shields and dollies.

Here is a thought for you people that think Ukraine is being unjustifiably invaded….VOLUNTEER TO GO AND HELP FIGHT!

I forgot, Canadian’s don’t fight, they only type!
