One little question for you. If I sat two hundred 152mm projectiles out front of you in many colors and markings. Could you pick out the WMD’s? If you happen to know it’s easy. They were there!

The other big worry was the overdue Ice Age…

Of course they were there. Anyone believing otherwise has his head up his fourth point of contact. Where do they think Syria got them from? The ones they recently used in their civil war? Not only were they there, I could tell you by which route many of them came.

Oh no not another theory!! I’m turning purple while I hold my breath waiting for the next round of global warming.

On a serious note. :zipper_mouth_face: What about the ā€˜pollution’ in the Ukraine? When are we going to see some climate change protesters super gluing themselves to some tanks?

That would make them targets for ATGMs and RPGs! Now we can’t have that, can we??

Global warming is a fact. It is a lot warmer now than it was during the Ice Age… but you don’t hear anyone criticising those carbon creating, Mastodon Roasting Neanderthals for starting it… :rofl:

Just wondering if this Trumpeter kit would be suitable to represent a captured Russian T-72 in the current conflict?

Also what Trumpeter or Meng T-72 tank kits serve in the Ukranian army? Sorry for all the questions, I can not tell the difference.

I’d say yes at least for these tanks…

Thanks @Stikpusher, I am well and truly out of my depth with this subject.

So far, I’m not seeing many T-72s in Ukrainian service. Their main tanks are T-64s and T-80s, with T-64s appearing to be more numerous. But then again, the T-64 was produced in Kharkov. There are photos of a handful of T-72AV & T-72B types in Ukrainian service, but I don’t know if those are old ones pulled out of storage or ones captured from rebels in Donbas.

Here’s a good tongue in cheek rundown of the T-64, T-72, and T-80 series.

Now THAT would be a sight to see :rofl:
Maybe more effective than those ā€œsandbagsā€ hanging on the sides of Russki Tanki …

Two seperate issues. Did Iraq have WMD? Nothing deliverable in short. This is well documented. The US and UK used at best, seriously out of date intelligence to make claims of Iraq’s CRBM capability (it was demonstrably derelict at best) in order to justify Bush’s Jnr’s ego. They were wrong, it has been proven that they were wrong, and they have the blood of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of innocent people on their hands.

Where did Syria get its chemical weapons from? - this is also well documented… Syria was provided with some chemical weapons and delivery systems prior to the 1973 Yom Kippur War. According to US intelligence reports, Syria began to develop its own chemical weapons capabilities in the later 1970s, with supplies and training from the Soviet Union, and likely with equipment and precursor chemicals from private companies in Western Europe. However Syrian production of chemical weapons is not believed to have begun until the mid-1980s. In 1988, a U.S. analyst described Syria’s chemical weapon capability as more advanced than the Iraqi chemical weapons program (so why would Syria get it from there).The Director of the US Defense Intelligence Agency said in 2013 that the Syrian program had never become fully independent, and remained reliant on the importing of precursor chemicals, mainly from the the former Soviet Union and western Europe.
