there's a reason why we have f-22s stationed in alaska

#

even if they had enough of their glorified parade float su-57s to try an air attack, they'd be no match for the f-22s

#

also speaking of the su-57, i love how russia passes of their inability to create stealth aircraft as "intentional" because "stealth will eventually become obsolete so we won't even invest in it"

lilac sparrow
#

Eventually yes, but we are talking about the far future where instead of sending blips out to locate objects in the sky we find displacements in the air or something along those lines

#

If we can detect their aircraft though with our current level of technology then that’s still going to work in our favor

Now that we know about the corruption of Russia, does that make the Armata a terrible tank?

Idk about that, tanks were introduced so late that they didn’t get a good grasp on tank warfare in conjunction with air and ground forces, there were no good anti tank rifles as well and tanks were not as well armored as they were on the lead up to WWII

scarlet crown
#

hard to talk about learned lessons when their military tactic has been nothing but "idfk just send as many people as we have there, that'll do it"

tired scaffold
lilac sparrow
#

Also, I don’t think their tactics were wrong just misplaced, last tank battle we’ve seen was back in Iraq where there was no infantry support in that battle and it was a decisive victory for the better armed side

#

They probably took the that battle and tried to apply it

#

Not realizing infantry technology has developed so far that a single soldier with barely any training can take out a well disciplined and trained tank crew with extreme lethality

#

It’s like the tactics of gunpowder all over again, much like how a peasant can be trained to use a musket and take out a knight the next day, a single soldier can be trained in a single day and take out a well trained tank crew the next

#

If Iraq had even a fraction of what we gave Ukraine, and the soldiers the same level of training, I don’t think desert storm would have been such a quick war

Also

#

Air superiority

#

In Iraq the coalition had air superiority, in Ukraine, it was mixed

#

aircraft support helps tanks massively

#

through targeting and general suppression of enemy units wanting to combat the tanks

split aurora
#

an infantry rifle could do it, then the armour got too thick, then they made a bigger rifle, then the armour got too thick

From the days of the tankgewehr to the boys anti-tank rifle, to shaped charge like the bazooka and super bazooka, till the modern day with javelin and such

Yikes. Exiled U.S. conspiracy theorist John Dougan has apparently interviewed Aiden Aslin, the captured UK volunteer soldier now awaiting execution in the DNR. This footage of Aslin singing the Russian national anthem is chilling. Presumably he hopes this will keep him alive?

From the line, I'd guess it's more likely not an attack

The 180 appears to be an attempt to return to Nis, before then later after reaching land turning to nearest available airfield and descending rapidly

If there was an attack, you'd assume they would immediately divert to nearest NATO airfield

haven't kept up with the situation in a while

#

to me it seems kinda dumb how countries are placing 900 sanctions on Russia and sending military aid to Ukraine

#

when the money should be going to civilians that are suffering the most

#

saw in the news the other day that a lot of people who fled Ukraine when the conflict got intense, are being forced back

#

because they don't have the money to live abroad

#

is this true?

#

because if so, sounds stupid as fuck to me how a bunch of money goes into military aid yet civilians aren't getting it

#

I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than I realise, just wanted to know more so here I am asking questions

leaden grove
# stark harness when the money should be going to civilians that are suffering the most

I‘m just going to respond to this in a couple of paragraphs:

  1. Military vs civilian aid
    Even if civilian aid doesn’t receive nearly as much attention in the media, a lot of countries have and are providing financial support to the Ukrainian government. Wars are very expensive, and ultimately soldiers, but also public services like schools, fire departments, hospitals etc. need to be paid for. The Ukrainian government is running low on cash, but at least for now most public services seem to be operating to the extent made by possible by the war
leaden grove
# stark harness is this true?

Some people do return, yes, both because they choose to and because they‘re not given adequate support in the country they‘ve fled to. Ultimately that‘s very much an issue worth discussing, but a lot of it is due to unnecessary bureaucracy and oversight

#

The thing about military aid and civilian aid is that they go hand in hand

#

The hardships of the current situation won’t stop if Russia wins, they‘ll only get worse

#

And ultimately the only thing keeping Russia from advancing further is the military

#

You can’t just throw money at something without addressing the root cause

stark harness
#

I have trouble understanding things like this so the simplified yet still informative paragraphs were much appreciated

stark harness
leaden grove
#

I‘d also like to add that getting aid to Russian-occupied territories has proven to be very difficult in the past

stark harness
#

Ah… that’s a shame

#

Fucking Russia

leaden grove
#

And then there’s also the whole issue of people being forced into filtrations camps and then being sent to various places in Russia with their preferences being ignored

split aurora
#

Russia heavily restricts access to NGOs and humanitarian aid groups

#

And occasionally violently cracks down on them

#

So its very hard to provide aid in occupied areas

scarlet crown
split aurora
#

A British humanitarian aid worker recently died in detention of the breakaway donbass states... very likely by their hand

#

They claim he died from "sickness and stress"

If he was actually sick, and you cared about saving his life... you'd have handed him over to the British embassy

scarlet crown
#

Paul Urie, yes

split aurora
#

At very best he died from negligence and refusal to care

#

Most likely he died with a bullet in his head

It was most definitely another case of russian near-death torture, but when the guy dies they do their classic "i don't know what happened, wasn't me"

I know that it’s Switzerland but it’s just sort of depressing seeing how far their government and banks going to appease fascists.

In some situations, neutrality stops being a good course of action

switzerland is ridiculously committed to neutrality

#

i can kind of understand why they'd do this from a foreign policy perspective

hollow hollow
#

i said this once before, switzerland is a prime example of why some people, myself included, tend to hate neutrality in big issues like this

because in clear-cut good vs evil conflicts like this one, they pretend that one side somehow isn't significantly worse than the other

In this world

You can't survive as a nation, always supporting moral causes

yeah in ww2 it made sense because they had a real reason to be afraid of siding with the allies

but the thing is this isn't ww2, russia isn't exactly breathing down their necks with arguably the world's strongest military rn

split aurora
#

If they were to change neutrality for morality

#

They'd have to apply morality equally

#

which would put them at odds with NATO from time to time

#

And if they only cared about morality in times when they aren't opposing NATO... they become a NATO pawn

hollow hollow
#

i don't really care if they want to oppose nato, i'd rather that than their holier than thou neutrality act

So switzerland either has to become a pawn, or keep its hard neutrality

#

It's shite but i's the way our geopolitical world is setup :/

hollow hollow
#

wait how can they not oppose nato? not disputing, just curious

split aurora
#

Well because what happens when America hears switzerland is providing medical aid to soldiers fighting NATO, or fighting NATO-aligned nations (EG: the moral stance would be to help Yemen, against nato-aligned saudi arabia)

#

Most likely america slams sanctions and diplomatic pressure switzerland can't really afford

ok that makes sense, didn't think of that

split aurora

It's a tricky situation

#

And I 100% get the frustration

#

Let the Swiss stay neutral, it’s not their war to fight. neutrality worked for them so far, even while they were bordering the very nations at war with one another in both WWI and WWII

hollow hollow
#

also i won't claim to know too much about this topic but i've heard a lot of people who seem fairly credible saying stuff about switzerland's continued neutrality also being due to corruption and unwillingness to go against the russians who have influence there or something

#

idk wouldn't surprise me

lilac sparrow

Sounds more like jingoism, if you can’t convince a nation to aid in the war, call them out for being corrupt and being under the influence of the enemy

Rather NATO’s near-peer threat

i mean their banking sector doesn't exactly have a clear track record to say the least

again i won't claim to be an expert on this stuff but the information i've read seems pretty credible

idk, ever since i looked into the whole banking corruption thing i haven’t exactly been sold on the whole “switzerland is a morally invincible paragon” narrative that some people push (not saying you do, saying some other people do)
