Hamster Huey

Damn. That’s a whole lot of TM-62s. It looks like there are about 160 of them there. It’s impossible at that rez to determine what variants there are, but let’s assume standard HE TM-62s. Each has 17 pounds of high explosives. Therefore, 17×160 = 2720 pounds of mega-kablooey.

And that would make anything within a thousand meters around there pretty gooey.

155 Not Alive

That shell weighs 43.2kg or 95 pounds. There is no fuze attached so it could not detonate as it is (eyebolt still screwed on). It’s a high explosive round variant, but I’m not sure what the purpose is here. Most of an arty round is useless weight, so it’s pointless to attach it to a drone.

Maybe this is just for show? I hope because as it is and as mentioned, it would not explode.

Stone

No matter what happens in Ukraine, Russia will be targeting the Baltic States next for invasion and occupation. It’s inevitable and has been for a while.

35

Mostly agreed. And even with all the problems the F-35 had, the Euro options all bite ass compared to that aircraft.

Prop Op

True. In a lot of the videos, the weapons are clearly (by sound) AK-47s or AK-74s. The ammo used in those is very distinctive and is unmistakable. The IDF uses NATO-chambered 5.56mm and wouldn’t be toting around AKs routinely.

Hamassholes

Yep. Hamas started this and knew what would happen if they perpetrated some shit like October 7.

They did, and it happened. Cry me a fucking river. War is hell, even if you start it yourself and bring the consequences down upon yourself.

Would Hate To See Losing

Even ignoring my feelings about the war, anyone who describes Russia as “winning” is a clownish dumbass.

Russia:

  • Has achieved none of its military objectives
  • Has not made any substantive gains in years
  • Controls nothing important it didn’t already control in 2015
  • Has experienced 1M casualties, including ~250K KIA
  • Is relying on North Korean ammo and personnel
  • Has very little equipment left
  • Probably cannot hold what it has taken long term

Whatever that is, it sure ain’t winning no matter what doofs like Ian Welsh claim.

Flattening

Israel went easier on Hamas and Gaza than I would have. Here’s what it would look like if I’d been in control:

After I saw video of savages parading Shani’s naked body through the streets of Gaza while the population cheered, why would I care what happens there exactly? You lose the right to be treated as a human being when you stop acting like one. Simple as that.

Empty

Yep. If Mexico had sent enough goons over to kill 40,000 people1 on US soil, most of them civilians, Mexico would no longer exist. Simple as that. It’d be a large parking lot.

The Palestinian “woe is me” act followed up by support of terrorism and rejecting good solutions grows old; even other Arab nations don’t want so-called Palestinian people living within their borders. And for good reason.

Israel has shown more restraint to Hamas, Gaza, and in general than I would have. That place would be empty now if October 7 had happened to my country. Devoid of all life.
