If you don't want SAM batteries in an area...maybe don't attack it to begin with?

You do realize when you have no one take you up on a lesser price, that raising the price makes it even less likely, right?

Hmmm seems to be normal on gun broker and eBay. Why not in international politics and murder for hire plots.

free puppies no one wants 50 dollars for the same free puppies is a deal.

A bully can't defeat the first opponent, so he threatens everyone else.

Most serious plots against him were abandoned, when it was realized he did more harm to the enemy alive, then dead.

I don't know if I would put Putin in that category, but they haven't done a very good job for a suposed "superpower"

That's why we are seeing the rise of the unholy alliance. Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and i believe Turkey will be joining also if the United States stays weakened by Democrat leadership, or spineless Republican leadership.

That's a bargain compared to what Europe will be paying for energy, in Euros, and lost lives this coming winter.

Ukraine’s One-Shot Wonder Weapon: The AT4 - The Armory Life

You might wish to rethink that

$8 billion in gold at todays price is 320887 lbs of gold

That's 160.44 tons. You would need about 214 F150s to haul that

Maybe go for the equivalent in cut top grade diamonds instead

Watching you tube today was heart breaking. Towns taking back by Ukraine had people telling the horror stories of Russians killing civilians....they are digging up a mass grave of 400. Showed all these passports Russians had...but no people.....its been a purge of innocent. Meanwhile in Turkey Ukraine refugees with posters of their dead children yelling at Russian tourists what their country has done. Entire towns are destroyed with so many civilians killed, and what seems to be all deliberate. Seems there is still Russians that enjoy being communist and butchering people.

 

[DragonGunner]

Freaking lying narcissist is what Putin is....always scared to death someone (the West) is out to get him...so naturally the narcissist attacks and destroys then blames....now he is sounding like he is the real victim....text book narcissist. He may be coming to his final end when they almost always implode and fall. His entire persona has changed from victor to victim.....man I can't stand these kind of demonic people.

Are the AT-4 taking down tanks?
I'd believe smaller targets. Trucks and APCs.
But tanks?

They should be effective against just about everything except the frontal armor of a main battle tank. I got to fire a few back in the late 80’s at old tanks on a range. Back then we learned they tended to hit below the aiming point. Hopefully they fixed that. I remember being told to aim a little high so I aimed at the commander's hatch on the turret and the AT4 hit the hull between the road wheels. That was at about 100 yards.

Transport is not an issue.

I never would have believed it.

From most accounts the Russians are on the defensive on all fronts except near Donetsk, where Russia makes increasingly pointless attacks westward.

In the south things seem the most organized on the Russian side, but even they are loosing ground..

Its far from over, but.. Ukraine is now firmly in the drivers seat here.

Whats worse, or maybe indifferent... is that Russia has pulled so much away from other areas of former soviet republics.

Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan are getting into it with each other.
Armenia and Azerbaijan as well.

This is because Russia has lost a lot of influence, and leverage with so many troops pulled away to Ukraine.

 

[BigMoose]

Russia just let Ukraine capture a nearly new off the line T-90M tank. Its got systems in it the west hasn't seen yet.

Rumor has it, its on a one way trip to the US via a Ukrainian AN-124....
