The Ukrainians have vastly superior night vision capabilities and Western optics and even rifles are increasingly showing up on the battlefield there...

Yeah with the billions we are sending them they should have good equipment by now. You saw a lot of USP-1 scopes on AK-74’s in the beginning. I shot an AK-74 with one mounted on it. The scope was better than iron sights but it was heavy and mounted really high and off to the side. The rifle had a fixed stock. So you had to do a chin weld and lean far forward to get a sight picture. The ergonomics just sucked. Not the best for a quick sight acquisition at all. I’m used to a red dot mounted far forward on the receiver and I shoot with both eyes open. You can’t do it with that Russian system where you are straining to look through a rubber eye piece. You are stuck with one mounting position as well.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Anyways like always the defense contractors make out like bandits. This whole Ukraine situation could have been avoided but someone wants it. It does benefit China. China benefited from our pooch screw pullout of Afghanistan because they got bases, weapons and technology we left there. They will get the raw materials. We get stuck with the bill. Since we left weapons there those need to be replaced and now we are supplying the Ukraine and giving them billions. It never stops. Food for thought, we spent more on the Ukraine this year than we spent on our own infrastructure.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

It’s like we are living in a real version of Dr. Strangelove. Putin has launched the doomsday weapon. Kristy is lucky. She can be part of some globalist’s harem and live under the Denver airport. Alex Jones will sneak in and film the sex tape.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Russian bridge is falling down....falling down....my dear Pooty....
Sorry for the foreign language video, but it's the only thing that's not in the useless, non-embeddable "youtube shorts" format. That shit's more annoying than TikTok.....
This bridge WAS the main link between Russia and Crimea. Not anymore.....Last edited by FORD; 10-08-2022, 01:09 AM.Eat Us And Smile

They were better with night vision from the onset of the war. Mainly, they didn't sell their stuff online like the Russians did and the little things like optics were already being improved in the Ukrainian military along with the creation of an actual NCO corp of professionals creating a consistently and competency in the Ukraine forces that doesn't exist in the Russian forces that have traditionally outspent the Uk's by several times every year since the end of the Soviet empire - Western aid notwithstanding. The newer rifles like the AK-12/15 the Russians were supposed to adopt (and used on a limited basis by the more elite units like paratroops) had several optics available but I think had better sights in general. But like always, they never seem to manage to equip their forces with much of anything that isn't directly linked to the Soviet state prior to the early 90's. In any case the AK is roughly equivalent to the M-16 and while I think a bit inferior not enough to make a significant difference on the battlefield. The man carrying it is far more important and artillery by far typically causes the most casualties in a near-pear engagement anyways.
When your "elite" recon/sniper teams are dumb and lazy enough to use the elevator to get to the roof in a shooting war in the country their invading, it doesn't really matter if you're carrying an M-4, Enfield, AR-15, AK-74/12, or a fucking musket....

Blah blah blah. You're going to have a hard time rationally trying to sell China's advantage in Afghanistan. What "raw materials" LOL. The weapons and tech we left there were small arms, some choppers and HUMVEES but nothing spectacular and we never needed to replace any of it as a lot of the kit was expired things like M-16A2's which suck anyways. The defense contractors make out every time unfortunately but the Russians and Chinese have their own contractors so a bit of a false equivalency or lack of a real one. The Ukraine War shows that Western weapons and methods are clearly superior and had given China a big pause on its nonsensical Tiawan aspirations. Things like the HIMARS/M270 are vastly superior to anything fielded by either and have effectively destroyed the (falsely) perceived Russian advantage in tube artillery ranges and "area denial" SAMS/AAA. The Russian Air Force is a bad joke, strategic reserves are nonexistent, conventional forces are smashed and will take years to rebuild, and at this point I have questions on the effectiveness of Russian "Strategic Rocket Forces" and other nukes. I don't wanna find out but it seems a real possibility that Russia could lose even a nuclear war with their shit guidance tech....Last edited by Nickdfresh; 10-08-2022, 03:25 AM.Comment
