Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Pocket Dragoon]

i think following these rules is just a formality that armies do for optics.

"Think of these as more like guidelines, but pray the Hague finds you first if you break them"

I remember when Geneva was brought up in AIT by the jackass in our platoon. After he was issued some corrective training for derailing the school circle, each of the tropes was addressed in detail by one of our drill sergeants, who also happened to be in JAG before moving to TRADOC. His classes were always interesting, and I often wonder if @AnOminous (or some other Kiwis) might be him.

hollow point and related bullet types are dogshit when your target is wearing military grade body armor (like soldiers in the field often do),

Along with vehicles & walls.

Lots of noise in Mariupol...

Russians do some fighting (link)

Chechens do some shooting as well (link)

The attire looks really familiar. Should come as more proof that the dog video was in Ukraine, aside from the trench and the lack of old postings (and possibly the dog breeds; could be popular in Ukraine specifically)

Today Putin gave our favourite tictoc blogger warrior-man Ramzan Kadyrov a rank of General-Leutenant! How can you not love him?

Good for him

 

[LUNEKO]

If Putin's throne is not inherited by a dwarf who looks like him, I will be disappointed in the franchise.

Countries don't (mostly) adhere to the Conventions for moral reasons, but because once you disregard them yourself, the other side is going to do the same. Since only the loser is going to get prosecuted, it then becomes important to win.

Think of it as sort of Marquess of Queensberry rules but once the gloves come off they stay off.

I'll see if I can find a better video, but pig flesh is a good meat to measure the damage a gun can do.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=1JpeSzir-ngHere you'll see the guy shoot a pig point blank in the head, and you'll see no blood splatter, just a hole made.

Skip to 1:32 for the head shot.

FYI, pigs are much like people re the internal organs. Have an aortic valve that came from a pig. Works just fine.

Cannibalism never tasted so good.

No, they're unironic Nazis but in addition to the Jew hate there's also Russian hate.

I dunno, I still think they're just retarded LARPer untermensch. They seem to just be "Nazis" in the same way as prison skinhead gangs. This is particularly evident given that they're financed by some rich Jew oligarch, and have sworn fealty to another Jew (Z-man).

Hey man, that Ukrainian fella gave his aortic valve for you, at least be civil.

the sooner these euro cuckolds get cut off from russian gas, the sooner they're forced to find a solution to replace it, and will be better off in the long term
having any critical part of your infrastructure be dependent on foreign imports is fucking retarded and should never be allowed in the first place

It's almost impossible to fully get rid of Russian ressources. Even during the cold war we bought gas from the Soviet Union. Main problem is that we didn't diversified our trading partners and scrapped plans like the Turk Stream pipeline from Azerbaijan. But well let's say we restart that project, it will take at least 5 to 8 years and in that time period the world will change again plus Erdogan is also not a real trustworthy partner.

Because he's a murderous warlord who runs his fiefdom as a criminal enterprise complete with extra judicial murder?

That's every government ever tho.

Cameraman talks to Russian sniper named Ingush.mp4

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that rifle only useful for about 100 meters?

 

[just a banana]

according to the translations in the thread, these civilians from Donbass are refusing to fight for the Ruskies because they were shipped off to ?Russia ?Sumy by force, and had their documents taken away, and consider themselves
cheated/fucked

He makes the funny video though.

We already knew he was a Muslim leader, no need to flatter him.

its not
europe isnt some kind of resource-less wasteland, it became dependent on foreign imports mainly because decadence (greens, internationalists) made it abandon domestic mining and resource extraction for faggot reasons (corporate profits, environmentalism)
like, if you have no gas, maybe dont build up infrastructure that is dependent on lots of gas to function. could have just kept their coal mines and plants running and none of this retard shit would be happening now.

The Val/VSS?

No, it's got an effective range of ~200-300m.

 

[Pocket Dragoon]

Not practical much beyond 100-200m, but the distances involved in Mariupol are probably 100m or less.

 

[Spicey McHaggis]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that rifle only useful for about 100 meters?

Probably closer to 200 or 300. Since this is urban combat you really don't need much more than that. One of the things that led to the adoption of the AK and other similar weapons is that most combat takes place at under 300 meters, so most soldiers don't need a rifle that can really reach out far.
