Drone with grenade make tonk sad.
Vatnik surrender to toy Tonka truck.
oh no, all of Netherlands’ F16s need to be disposed of to make room for the F35s - wherever shall we send them?
I’ll make sure they are disposed of properly.
'Ay, the TOW is not ‘leftover cold war shit’, it is a tank-killing juggernaut. As long as you don’t mind standing absolutely still for like 20 seconds after firing the missile (so the missile can track the target).
3000 Red Lines of Russia
3000 3-day special exercises
I thought Russia was fighting with Cold War stuff and that that’s part of why they were on the back foot. Something about rusty AK-47s
If the satellite images of their boneyards are to be believed, it appears that they’ve used up anything that was newer than the 1950s, and are rapidly depleting all their leftover WWII and 1950s equipment. I saw a thread the other day that someone linked pics, and they’re down to less than 20% of their “backup” equipment.
It does annoy me that basically countries are giving their surpless weapons to Ukraine, only to buy new weapons for themselves. It’s still growing the weapons industry, which is keen to encourage war across the globe, as that leads to money.
Meanwhile Ukraine are receiving weapons not as donations, but bilateral aid agreements. This means that Ukraine is expected to pay them back some day. In reality, Ukraine will likely never be able to pay them back (and even if they can they will be left financially destitute either way) so all that’s going to happen is the debt will be written off. So current governments can fiddle their books and say “yes, we’ve got a deficit, but we’re going to get so much money back in the future!!” only for that debt to be written off. But hey, that’s a future government’s problem.
