Modelling armour in Ukraine crisis

We moved the memorial back to the UK when the 2000 tour finished. It is now in Leazes Park in Newcastle which is between Fenham Barracks which is our Home HQ and St James Park, the Newcastle footy ground.

Ah that’s really good and a nice move. :+1:

I’m wondering with all that inflated rubber these, like Monster Trucks, might actually float? If so we might see them towing away the Russian Navy soon…
:grin:

Cheers,

With all those ‘Z’ in the last pic, I wonder if the crew nodded off…

“poisonous if eaten”… ws this really needed?

“do not burn…” … I know this was ignored. It was used for cooking.

That only helps English reading Privates. That’s pretty xenolingohassen of the US. We have to do a better job with communication while we are killing people.

probably sending M198’s out of NG units. Will be a bridge between the older and more simple howitzers and the M777. 40K rounds is a good start for 18 howitzers (three batteries). Now if they also send the computers to do the math for them? Basic algebra II equations that can also be done with a slide rule (I don’t even remember how to use one anymore). I think Biden should have sent 36 M102 howitzers, and about 60K rounds. They are easy to move and setup extremely fast. The C4 is needed more than most folks realize! Now your back in the art of making the roads unpassable again. There won’t be a bride left with in fifty miles of the border. I’ve said all along that they needed Claymores, and I mean a lot of Claymores. They’ll be used to complete the ambush, and then the learning cure really starts.

Ukrainians are telling a different story. They are saying they hit it with a Neptune Cruise Missile. Either way they came out ahead!

They are sending M109A6 Paladins and M992A2 FAASVs from storage, apparently already moving across Europe.

Posted further up yesterday by Neo.

I’ll argue that point! I think it’s a new ROTC 2nd LT with a map and the radio mic!

I saw those photos a couple days back. Just figured they were for the Polish military. That will make Putin’s heart rate go up a notch or two. If memory serves me right, these pigs work off the GPS system and are capable of some very precision shooting.

Wondering: Why is Drill SGT’s shirt not tucked in (time-stamp 1:58)? Is that regulation in this instance?
