found a photo

these are the UCP IBA's

[shell tide]

They look in fairly good shape

[low fox]

the IBA itself is covered in dirt, I'll probably just cut out some foam pieces and stick them in the IBA and use it as a display

the Massif Elements vest in UCP, this has got to be the worst piece of clothing I've ever seen

[shell tide]

ah hell nah

wtf is that thing

@low fox These are the PASGT helmet conversions that I do and sell for $190-$250

[low fox]

honestly that's a reasonable price

[shell tide]

I can source the helmet and parts for very cheap, most of the price is labor pretty much

[low fox]

figured, the ARC and NVG stuff just from Aliexpress?

[shell tide]

No, i have a buddy who has a warehouse of tons of tactical parts and I can get a whole set of parts for a helmet for 9 dollars

bruh

it sensored my word

china parts

[low fox]

ah

you can get multicam helmet covers for like $2 on Aliexpress

[shell tide]

dear lord

may have to check that out

[low fox]

bulk purchases get it even cheaper

[shell tide]

I experimented with parts mounted over a cover and I’m still working on if I should do this in the future

[low fox]

that a regular ACH cover?

/pasgt

[shell tide]

It would be annoying to take the cover off tho so it would be difficult

[shell tide]

Yes it’s a normal ACH cover on a converted ACH

Not PASGT

[low fox]

I've wanted to try that with an ABU helmet cover on a highcut

might have to get a custom ABU camo helmet cover made for my Airframe tho

[shell tide]

I cut and stitch my own stuff, would be interesting to see how someone would mount it to an airframe tho

[low fox]

I know some people who make custom helmet covers for a few models of helmets, a custom AirFrame cover is about $120

[shell tide]

Jeez

[low fox]

seems reasonable considering the labor and the fact nobody has ABU camo fabric lying around

now trying to get ABU AVS platebags is another story

[shell tide]

I have a random ABU plate carrier that i have no clue who the manufacturer is

prob china

no manufacture markings

[low fox]

post, I can definitely ID it

I own basically one of every ABU carrier manufactured lol

[low fox]

Eclipse

same one in Tarkov

[shell tide]

Is it worth anything lmao

[shell tide]

Interesting

[low fox]

does it have the Kevlar?

[shell tide]

No

[low fox]

ABU stuff basically never sells for that much, hence why I have like a dozen ABU plate carriers

I'd say like $120 without the inserts

[shell tide]

I originally got it from some crack head guy on marketplace for $40 because he had two ESAPIs in it. Now I don’t know what to do with it

[low fox]

lmao, ez ESAPIs

[shell tide]

I know right

[low fox]

what revision

[shell tide]

Uhhh I think I have pics of them

Lemme find them

They both surprisingly passed tap and torque

Sold these bad boys a long time ago

[low fox]

W find for $40

any idea what size the RBAV is?

[shell tide]

Yeah it’s definitely on my top 10 best marketplace finds

[shell tide]

Medium more than likely. Fits medium plates well

If you know anyone who is interested, I’ll sell it for cheap

[low fox]

the lack of soft armor is the only issue, just like IBAs and IOTVs, if it doesn't have soft armor it's a pain to sell

[shell tide]

True

What i usually will do with no name plate carriers is just put some shitty IOTV deltoid inserts in them and sell them as is

The marketplace special

[low fox]

lmao

[shell tide]

I mean if it works it works

[low fox]

idk, you see people buy steel plates and condor vests all the time, what you're selling can't be any worse

[shell tide]

Exactly

[low fox]

Steel plates + condor vest = the shittiest plate carrier experience to ever exist

don't ask how I know that

[shell tide]

I saw a kid who was somehow selling a IMTV vest with steel plates on marketplace

[low fox]

weird

I found this Eagle Industries MAS Grey JBAV, might have to pick it up, need some standalone SAPI cut plates tho

[shell tide]

What size

[low fox]

Mediun

[shell tide]

Dang

This is my current selection of plates

[low fox]

none of those are standalone sadly

[shell tide]

Yeah

I had a set of X-SAPI size smalls at one point

[low fox]

ooh fun'

[shell tide]

Those would probably be considered level 4 standalone lol

[low fox]

they're heavier oddly

the ESAPIs are pretty light

[shell tide]

Never really compared them to other brand plates so I wouldn’t know

[low fox]

maybe I should just buy some marine corps IIIA inserts and throw them behind some medium SAPIs

[shell tide]

That would work

[low fox]

compared to medium level 4 shooter's cuts, they're light asf

[low fox]

yeah, the marine corps SAPI backers are like $75 for a set, not bad at all

[shell tide]

I keep a XL ESAPI in my backpack laptop slot and the weight is bearable, couldn’t really imagine using anything heavier tho

[low fox]

that's awesome, solid little ballistic backpack that's rifle rated

tempting...

[shell tide]

I oddly like the look of plate carriers where portions of the inserted plate is visible

Like super lightweight carriers

[low fox]

did you see the Crye EK-02 I posted earlier?

[shell tide]

I did

[low fox]

extremely light weight SPC

[shell tide]

Basically a couple straps wrapped around your plates lol

[low fox]

yup

[shell tide]

I need some recommendations for the cheapest possible Gen 1 analog night vision (preferably a monocular) that I can use for casual night walks.

[stray torrent]

Just get some Chinesium garbage from eBay and an okay ish ir light fr

[shell tide]

got a guy who is selling an armasight spark IIT core for $300 locally

is it worth?

[stray torrent]

I have no idea ngl

I don’t own nvgs. I just know they are expensive

[old portal]

WP 31s

[obtuse hatch]

Attack.

[drowsy kelp]

Only issue is eotech proprietary bridge cable

[old portal]

Hindsight I would go different route if i was shopping for them again

This was something I wasn’t familiar with at all when I bought it. Only experience I had was 7, 14 and 15s

[drowsy kelp]

It’s possible to find a cable and battery pack they’re just expensive as hell

[old portal]

I have one but I would go with a more standardized L3 set of binos if doing it again.

I’ve been eying some older ANVIS 9 for the old school factor

[bleak saddle]

How’s the kit

[drowsy kelp]

31A’s are way easier to find parts for that’s for sure

[old portal]

Good news is these live in the safe about 364 days of the year

[drowsy kelp]

Nah I abuse the shit out of mine 💀

[snow scarab]

Would look better with an actual Russian camo imo

[lusty kestrel]

yeah would go fire in flora

[bleak saddle]

I want to eventually get a ss Leto gorka to match the helmet

[cobalt heron]

ts is tuff

[low fox]

@shell tide

[shell tide]

that is a very very good price for one plate, however it is just barely over my buy-in price per plate.

It will 100% be bought within 1-2 days easily

I personally would have bought these if they weren’t marked “POOL USE”

They prob still stop bullets pretty well tho

[low fox]

Pool use, those were def water damaged

They’re also oldgen ESAPIs

still has AP-M2 written on them

[lime abyss]

Good use of taxpayer dollars

1000$ pool plates

[old portal]

Programs that ran the water simulators and such typically kept an amount of worn out non-serviceable equipment on hand to be used for training purposes. If they weren’t repurposed for pool use they would most likely been destroyed. Smarty recycling and repurposing of unserviceable equipment

[low fox]

100% agreed, you see a lot of cracked/damaged plates still being used for training, if they weren't they'd just be destroyed like any other body armor used by the DoD

They cut the plates and the kevlar into 4 pieces using a band saw, pretty interesting actually

[old portal]

Yup. I had a set of ceramic SAPI they were held together by tape at one point just for training purposes

[low fox]

It's cheaper than paying millions to some company to manufacture training plates as well

speaking of

[old portal]

Yup. Willing to bet the guy complaining about tax dollar use wasn’t paying taxes at the time these plates were being made in the early 2000s…good chance wasn’t even alive yet 🤦‍♂️

[low fox]

lmao yup

pentagon will buy anything if ya market it right lol

pretty sure we were paying 2 billion a year to keep the air conditioning running on all US bases

sorry, 20 billion.

[old portal]

Sounds about right

[low fox]

https://www.usaspending.gov/agency/department-of-defense?fy=2026

have a look through that, it's insane

[lime abyss]

Ah that sounds a lot better

Make sense

[shell tide]

Just sold all my plates to a guy locally for 1.4k a couple hours ago

massive W

7 plates total

2 Xsmall 2 Small 2 Xlarge and 1 random medium sapi plate

[low fox]

Massive W indeed

offload all the less desirable plate sizes/models

I'm picking up a DLA pallet today, I'll post pics when I've got the pallet

Hi I want you

[amber harness]

Based kit

I took off the helmet cover on my LWH to match it more with the coyote brown gear

[exotic sonnet]

never ever taking the dogtag off

[nimble spire]

i think backpacks are one of the few things (the other being drugs and opiods) that are cheaper in real life than tarkov

rush 100 is only 250$

can you imagine a shot of full fat morphine for 60 euro IRL?

[muted nimbus]

Put your femboy poster away

[low fox]

Tarkov players and being obsessed with teenage girls in tactical gear, strange combo

[exotic sonnet]

the tarkov poster will NOT be taken off when the huzz are coming over

[low fox]

The “huzz” is your parole officer

[exotic sonnet]

[clever salmon]

Is this a tarkov reference

[bleak cloud]

does anybody have experience with sitting pads especially in cold/artic tactical environments?

planning on probably obtaining one but i'm not sure if it's better than a camping stool or not

[low fox]

Yeah, they make life so much nicer, puts a barrier between you and the freezing ground, makes sitting in frozen climates a lot more tolerable.

New watch ✨

[shell tide]

DMed you

[nimble spire]

im really more suprised that 5.11 offers decent (8$) pricing on their bottles more than anything

[low fox]

[opaque lintel]

Interesting. The novorapid (novo nordisk) pens look like a injector as well but they are orange and blue

[livid thistle]

-listens to you and gets duals
-UPS delays 4 times even when roads are pretty good now for almost a week

[spiral elbow]

[old portal]

ABU and ACU can go to hell. GWOT was a good time but it brought forward some dumbass ideas

Specifically camo patterns

[real thorn]

ABU at least has the sick tigerstripe pattern

[high heron]

[white pagoda]

Just got into the nvg game as well and upgraded the ol’ mk1 eyebal :)

[old portal]

Another wrong handed shooter I see lol

[white pagoda]

wrong handed ?

[old portal]

Left hand shooter

[junior obsidian]

Real lshz?

[lapis gyro]

Hell yeah bro what’s your tubes

I’d swap to a nosiefighters arm for the articulation

[dense epoch]

as a left handed guy i gotta say its pain but i have to shoot with my right. no leftie SA80s

[plush topaz]

Leftarded

[plush topaz]

It's really not difficult to teach yourself to shoot off hand. Just a few frustrating training sessions and itl be second nature

[shell tide]

Are these rare

[old portal]

Pretty rare in woodland since they were already transitioning away from that pattern with those IBA upgrades

[shell tide]

Thanks

[stray torrent]

Gonna see an ad on eBay “rare m81 shoulder pads and neck protector”

[old portal]

Rightfully so. Very rare. Those add-ons were a response to IED threat in OIF and by the time they were a thing woodland was essentially phased out. If you find them they’ll probably be new/unused condition.

[wary lichen]

checks out

[stray torrent]

Oh dude I ain’t knocking it 🤣

I spent a good long time trying to find some

[wary lichen]

looks like you just found some

[lean oasis]

Yea

[white pagoda]

A gen 3 wp elbit :) 1951 fom, 27.1 snr, .96 halo

[white pagoda]

Yee i was looking at the max14 arm

[junior obsidian]

goddamn

very nice

[lean oasis]

funnily enough that firefighter helmet was wayyyy harder to get then the lshz :P

[lusty kestrel]

isnt lshz and vulkan diferent hemets?

unless you got both which is dang

[lean oasis]

the lshz 2 dtm is the vulcan ;P (nvm it aint)

[lusty kestrel]

eriously

[lean oasis]

i do however also have a zsh-1-2 and a zsh-1

[lusty kestrel]

1-2 is the thing with the visor yes?

[lean oasis]

and a lzsh 1+

yea the helmet those guards wear

bu i have the older version not the zsh-1-2M

[dense epoch]

yeah but the SA80 doesnt shoot leftie and for safety reasons in the forces your not really supposed to shoot it that way

brass really fucking hurts

[plush topaz]

Yes. I'm saying if you're left handed. Learning to shoot right isn't that difficult

[dense epoch]

oh yeah obv.

my accuracy just isnt as good as it could be

probably an issue on my part but my right isnt very accurate with anything whether it be saws or rifles
seeing as i nearly lost my fingers to it lol

[plush topaz]

Believe me it'll get there with practice

[dense epoch]

100 percent yeah. just gotta stick with it

[plush topaz]

Id be more worried about eating the charging handle of the SA80 to the teeth LOL

But yeah when I went to sniper school I forced myself to shoot the rifles right handed as we aren't issued lefty rifles. Took a minute but now it's second nature.

[dense epoch]

dont get me wrong its a "nice" rifle. serves its purpose but there are so many better options

[dense epoch]

tbf i can see it from a logistics view. what if you lose your leftie rifle in battle and you cant shoot a righty

[plush topaz]

Also your spotter or anyone else in the platoon needs to fill in for you and use a wrong handed rifle

Just makes no sense

[dense epoch]

and obviously if they have your leftie rifle they are also at a disadvantage

[plush topaz]

Yep. Got any pics of your rifle? We are suckers for them here

[dense epoch]

nah lol

they are all the same

Have you seen the project to replace our service rifle tho?

I reckon its gonna be the Sako and Berreta

[amber harness]

New patch came in

[plush topaz]

The same Beretta that the US military considered ?

[formal skiff]

Narp ?

[dense epoch]

yup

they want to set up factories here in house apparently

[formal skiff]

In Romania they wanna set up factory

[snow scarab]

Although I can tell some of them are airsoft lol

[coarse laurel]

Nope

Real steel

[coarse laurel]

Which one looks like airsoft lmao

[snow scarab]

The bottom one and the top super duty

Mostly the mags

The rounds look fake lol

[coarse laurel]

They are loaded lol

Also the bottom is a block II FSP with a 16 inch barrel on a diamond back lower, why would that be airsoft lol

@snow scarab

[snow scarab]

Tbf I didn’t look that close lol

[coarse laurel]

I’m waiting for the can for this

So far all my rifles have suppressors except for this one, should be approved any day now

Form 4’s are averaging 1-2 weeks rn

[snow scarab]

I’m saving and I’m gonna get the PSA can

[coarse laurel]

Why not just get an OCL Polo?

It’s around 560 bucks ish

[snow scarab]

QD honestly, plus flow through

The PSA one is essentially a renamed B&T can

[coarse laurel]

Warranty is decent and it’s HUB compatible if you wanna go QD

I should get a Flow through lol some of my guns are mega gassy even with Raptor SD CH’s

The one that kills me is my flux raider, it’s reliable but the omega 9k on it makes the gas unbearable at times, I can go 2 mags on it before I have to take a break lol

[tawny bane]

rate kit pls

Everything here is made in Russia except Dope.

granit plates

[snow scarab]

are you Russian?

[tawny bane]

yeah

[snow scarab]

It’s almost like a knock off FCPC

From looking at the cummerbund and shape of the plate bags

[tawny bane]

this plate inspired by fcpc

[snow scarab]

Those shoulder pads don’t look exceptionally comfortable and are pretty wide, feel like they would dig into your neck

[tawny bane]

ars arma a-25

[tawny bane]

shoulder hsg copy

[snow scarab]

What’s the Russian rating on those plates? And I assume that’s soft armor on the side? What is that?

[tawny bane]

Br4+

protection from B-32 7.62х54

no soft armor here, i will buy it soon

[snow scarab]

Uhhh do you know what is on the GOST scale?

Oh wait, Br is the new scale, nevermind

So equivalent to Lvl 3 here

Outside of a very small number of magazine spaces I would say it looks very good

[tawny bane]

thx, i appreciate it))

mags will be soon too, i ordered it from Russian "amazon"

[snow scarab]

You guys pretty much only get Russian or Chinese made products now right b

?

[tawny bane]

my friend recently get agilite

You can get everything, it's just a matter of price

[snow scarab]

Well yes but nothing new gets shipped in unless it’s done by third parties

As far as I’m aware

[snow scarab]

That I could’ve guessed, agilite wouldn’t pass up on making a profit

[tawny bane]

I still don't understand how they bring ferro and other gear

[lusty kestrel]

[tawny bane]

[plush topaz]

Good choice

[tawny bane]

yeah, agilite sexy af

[snow scarab]

Jesus Christ

Does it at least come with hard plates?

[tawny bane]

no)

only side armour

this is expensive store

you can buy cheaper

[snow scarab]

Jesus. I’m gonna look at what it is in relation to the American pricing lol

[tawny bane]

We have guys who will deliver whatever you need to order with a small markup, but I don't know the exact prices.

It's the same situation with Russian gear, here it's very cheap, but you charge exorbitant prices

[snow scarab]

Give me about an hour and I’ll get you the American pricing on that lol

[snow scarab]

Yes and no. Russian civilian stuff not so much, surplus Russian gear yea

But that’s cause of autism, not lack of availability lol

[tawny bane]

10$ in Russia

oh, its 40 round

20$ ok

[snow scarab]

Oh well Bakelite has always been expensive but we can also make them ourselves

[dense epoch]

is that a good price? ive never thought about buying one before?

does it come with the armour plates?

[real thorn]

made in vietnam </3

[snow scarab]

No, like I said to buy pretty much everything there in the United States it would cost less than half the price

[lusty kestrel]

yes but idk what that is 🥀

[winged hornet]

Oh man you should know what the blue fire is, it’s in the opening cinematic

There’s an entire story quest chain about it

[lusty kestrel]

alr

[patent swan]

Inspired by some of the irl carriers in game with personal touches. Yes thats a Bogatyr patch 😁

[tacit falcon]

Just sharing a pretty solid deal I found, figured y'all would like

https://redemptiontactical.com/products/full-kit-combo-crusader-2-0-armor-combo-package-lightweight-level-iv-2-10x12-front-back-plates-plate-carrier-bag

[worn sand]

These arent super high speed CoD operations lol. Carrying 12-15 mags is totally average

[hazy prism]

Anyone, who posts with short sleeves is either LARPing or posing. +3 yo LARP. Go ahead and try tactical movement in a forest or demolished city. Nice soft branches and cuddly concrete scraps await you...

[worn sand]

True

I mean isnt that what this channel is? Ive seen a lot of airsoft stuff

[old portal]

No 12-15 mags is not in the slightest average

[hazy prism]

idk - just joined, and it is SOMETHING 😄

[worn sand]

Okay, i'm waiting for your explanation.

[old portal]

The average issued combat load is 7 magazines. The AVERAGE we carried in all of my Iraq deployments was 10

[worn sand]

Exactly, Iraq, I never brought up old wars.

[old portal]

At some point you can’t access anything more in a timely manner so it becomes excessive weight

You have a resupply plan in place…carrying extra weight in combat that’s essentially useless because it’s not accessible in immediate needs is pointless

[worn sand]

Every single soldier during my time in Ukraine brought a shit load of ammo because unlike Iraq we do not have air support or mandated casevac or liable logistics or long range cover

You don't do a week operation in Ukraine then get to go back in base and chill

There were a lot of cases of teams spending 2-3 months in trenches

Even longer

I'm not syaing thats why you prepare 15 mags, what I'm saying is we had nothing

compared to US forces in Iraq

[old portal]

So 12 mags last you 3 months in a trench…

[hazy prism]

8-10 mags. If mission is longer - extra ammo in boxes. But always min 8+1 loaded

[worn sand]

Read my message

Don't compare your war to Ukraine because it's nothing like it

Your IEDs were shoveled in beside your roads, we get flying ones, you easily spend 2 mags shooting down a shahed/other drones

[worn sand]

Yeah the ammo in boxes and 10 mags is closer to what happened in UA

[worn sand]

Were you done explaining or is there anything more because I'm curious

[hazy prism]

Ukrane - lots more. We have more ammunition, more TQ's and more CLS in units + FPV and recon drones

[worn sand]

^^^^

[hazy prism]

that's what we are trying to incoråorate

[old portal]

So you’re saying you carry 15 mags to last you 2-3 months living in a trench because you have no resupply plan?

[hazy prism]

nope - 8 to 10 mags

[worn sand]

Did you not read anything I said

I don't want to be rude to you but it you are struggling a lot to understand for some reason.

[old portal]

Ya and that was my take. You need 12-15 mags because you have nothing and are out for 2-3 months at a time. That infers you have no logistical support to resupply

[worn sand]

It wasn't just that, there are several factors, primarily the drones is the issue.

[old portal]

You literally said you have little to no logistical support..that means you don’t get regular resupply…

[worn sand]

Wait i thought you were implying something else I'm sorry about that

Yeah, logistics is almost non existent

And drones coming at your vehicle would be a very high chance every single time no matter day or night

so you'd spend a lot of ammo just trying to stop them from blowing you up

[hazy prism]

that is the current doctrine. We are trying to change it. We are learning. Hence 4+TQ per, additional ammo in backpacks, drone and FPV support, Starlink etc. Fully self sufficient unit at least for a while

[worn sand]

Lol starlink

I wish something happened to musk

Starlink did more bad than good in many instances while i was out there

[hazy prism]

me too, but for the moment he is the bastard...

[worn sand]

yep

You are in ukraine right now?

[worn sand]

Where did you serve in iraq by the way?

[old portal]

Multiple places, nearly 3 years of deployment time

Various areas of Baghdad and the Diyalah River Valley

[worn sand]

I respect it, I heard baghdad was really bad. I was 2 years on and off in ukraine

Are you army or marine?

[old portal]

Army. Baghdad wasn’t great but it wasn’t anything compared to the fighting in the DRV

[worn sand]

🙏 🙏

[old portal]

8+ hour gunfights with platoon size elements

Shit loads of house to house and street fighting

[worn sand]

Yeah the hosue to house shit always looked like hell

[patent swan]

Buddy of mine that was deployed was a shutter bug and man some of the photos he has is just wild

His typical load was and i qoute "Iraq was 7 m4 mags. 3 m9 mags and my m240b. Afghanistan was 7 mags of m4, and my m2 .50 cal. "

And can confirm on multiple instances ive seen kits from the UK-RUS respectively that have just aton of mags. Theres a pretty viral clip of a grenidier with like 14 mags on him along with a row of GL rounds.

[worn sand]

That guy was a posing shit bag iirc but yeah standard amount

[patent swan]

Sob or not its atleast a realistic view into the standerd kit certain soldiers are geared with.
The biggest thing right ive seen is impovisation of body armor to fend of fragmentation.

[worn sand]

Yeah I stacked kevlar with all my plates and always had a dick flap, i think you see more dick flaps than you don't in UA

drone impacts are the highest cause of injury so more kevlar is superior

[patent swan]

Ive seen a few instances were theyve taken a torn up plate pulled the kelvar out and wrapped the front of their legs

[worn sand]

That's smart tbf

[patent swan]

Gives mobility while still giving some protection, would be hot as fuck tho

[tender jewel]

lol guys

[worn sand]

What

[winged hornet]

Baghdad was okay but it didn’t have a shit lake, 2nd tier deployment destination

[old portal]

We were in nightly TICs in eastern Baghdad but it was usually short lived. Apaches were on station quick and they rarely hit us in the day time. Diyalah was another story. They only hit is during the day because they knew we owned the night but they woukd hit us in force and engage in prolonged fights. They rarely broke contact, we had to kill then before it was over. Lots of fighting inside 50m. Closest fight I had was in an ally about 12’ apart. Scary shit. It’s the only time I ever threw live frags outside of training

[worn sand]

Surprised I never heard about Diyalah, people only ever talk about Baghdad, those were some close ass fights.

Most of my experiences was surviving KABs, jet strikes, missiles, artillery/mortar and drones

I had one hard medevac where I was near the frontlines, artillery shell had a direct hit on a residential. Whole family was involved including a kid, started running into the fire because I heard screaming inside. I got separated by my team after a group of separtists were trying to kill them. I rendered aid and dragged this guy out of the house. We were chased by drones on our way out of the city. Still have the bloody gloves

[old portal]

Diyalah was the hotbed during the 2007 Surge. When AQI was beaten out of Fallujah/Ramadi between 04-06 they reestablished their HQ in the Diyalah Province. We did a shit ton of fighting there in 07-08 to remove them

It’s where the AQI founder was killed in 2006 shortly before we started working to control it again

[worn sand]

You ever recorded your shit?

I got a lot of buddies who film all their stuff. I think its important to keep a record of all of those things that happened

[old portal]

One operation we had a Spanish reporter with our company. He spent the majority of his time integrated into our platoon and a lot of that time with my squad. He recorded a lot of fighting and made a documentary about the operation It was nearly 20 years ago so it’s been lost with time. He was kidnapped and murdered several years ago while doing a story in east Africa

[worn sand]

Damn. I'm sorry to hear that

[plush topaz]

For your theatre yes

Exactly

[near iris]

12-15 is average for you wtf

6-9 is standard in the nordics

[plush topaz]

It makes sense

[plush topaz]

Zarqawi. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing in Israel when I read that news

[near iris]

How's your conflict going cannoli, can't remember if you were active or not but I know you're in the promised land

[old portal]

Yessir. CAG put two 500lb munitions on his head

[plush topaz]

Hey pal. Just wrapped up an uneventful Gaza deployment between Bureij and Sajaiya. It's still ceasefire so not a whole lot happening unless Hamas tests our lines or they breach it and we retaliate.

[near iris]

Hope those are old pictures, glad to hear it was uneventful that conflict feels like every decision is a trap

[plush topaz]

Yes from dec-jan

I'm in Canada now. Father is very sick.

[near iris]

ah alright, I was fighting myself for almost 2 years about joining the war effort in Ukraine but I'm kinda glad I didn't at this point, I'm still just in reserve with no active combat experience.

[plush topaz]

I'm also glad you didn't.

[near iris]

hahaha amen brother

[plush topaz]

Now would probably be the best time to go to be honest. Relieve some of the guys there. Since it seems to be a relative stalemate.

[near iris]

last night had something like 80 drone strikes and 10 airstrikes with a dozen clashes along the front reported so they're keeping busy stalemate or not. I'm less of an alcoholic and got a new girlfriend now so the passion for dying in a ditch crying and pissing myself has lessened but I got to admit it's still there.

[plush topaz]

It's a dilemma for sure. Being trained for a war that never comes will always leave you wondering what if.

[near iris]

I think the lust for action and war in general is extremely common in men at least in their 20s-30s, joining someone elses war for a lack of your own is quite the philosophical dilemma tho

[plush topaz]

For sure

[worn sand]

I am happy you did not come.

No one should go to Ukraine especially this late in

Its just not worth it

[worn sand]

Yeah sounds about right

The only reasons ukraine's system was like that was because of drones and no logistics/getting cut off or stranded

[worn sand]

Without context that terrain and sky is pretty

[near iris]

I guess it was the best decision yeah, there's a thousand ifs and buts surrounding that war for me and to be honest I still have the urge to go but that's mostly because dying in battle for a good cause would be the easiest way for me to feel like I accomplished something.

[worn sand]

That feeling would go away very quickly if you were on the frontlines because it's principles or a value within you

And principles and values don't stand when you're fighting

Also, that's not very healthy for having to be in a team with other fighters, it's not the right mindset

I get where you're coming from, but yeah, you shouldn't go to ukraine, unless you want your leg blown off or to get killed by a little drone

[plush topaz]

Yeah. Not so pretty further in but has its moments

[worn sand]

These are all your pictures?

[plush topaz]

Yes

[worn sand]

Wow i see

[near iris]

Well I think you got to accept that you'll die if you want to actually be functional in that kind of situation, The "what the fuck am I doing here" situation is for sure something I know I'd have over there though.

[worn sand]

We all accept that we're going to die, but yeah, these are just semantics

[near iris]

Yeah

[plush topaz]

This is the only way to be effective.

Almost every single house we enter is booby trapped in some way. You just have to bite your tongue and go in anyway sometimes.

[near iris]

Are you in Ukraine at the moment?

[worn sand]

Yep definitely

[worn sand]

No I came back to the uk in october

[near iris]

Well how was it hahaha

[worn sand]

It's just hell

I mean children getting blown up, you getting blown up, buildings burning and people suffering

It's worse because the russians actually have armaments

So they had jets, i survived one attack from one before

artillery, drones, everything, its non stop

[near iris]

Do you feel like you had an impact or going was worthwile?

[worn sand]

I saved a couple people, but nothing about war is worthwhile not even the good things

I did what i did, and now that im back i say that it was worth it for those couple people

But war is worse than you could imagine, and thats not to insult you, because i spent a lot of time looking into ukraine before going and even that wasn't enough

Even if you feel goalless or depressed now, it's better to be like that than to have PTSD on top aswell

[near iris]

Oh I'm sure no amount of research could prepare you for the type of shit that goes down in Ukraine, It's just interesting to me to hear from people who came back. it's just interesting to see the perspective of someone who came back

[worn sand]

Yeah fair enough

yeah no my perspective is just stop all the wars and no one should fight because the military is overglorified

Even for the US military. One of my marine buddies had a brother who did 2 tours in iraq. OD'ed on fent and died 2 years after coming back

[near iris]

Well what's the alternative here if there's an agressor that is hell bent on annexing, is it better if they just accept another nations rule instead of fighting.

[worn sand]

No definitely not

I despise russia

I don't think ukraine should surrender because the war is way too deep in especially because of EUs cowardness but thats what i meant before, war shouldve never started in the first place

[gentle cypress]

I wonder why every house ended up booby trapped ....

[near iris]

Oh absolutely yeah in a perfect world there wouldn't be no war, do you know the "First They Came" confession from 1946?

That's the type of idea that makes you consider maybe it's worth helping

[worn sand]

I don't know about that actually what happened

[near iris]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_They_Came

[worn sand]

I'm surprised i never heard about this

[near iris]

It's a fantastic piece, and when it comes to russian oppression I think it's very fitting, first they came for the Ukrainians.

[worn sand]

Wait no i've heard about this somewhere actually mb lol but yeah that's very true

The russians have been trying to gather territory around them for a while now to expand

[near iris]

You gotta ask yourself when it's time to actually help out instead of waiting but yeah

[worn sand]

That is true

I think at the start of Ukraine that would've been the perfect time to go

when there weren't drones and the war needed a lot of people to establish units and hold half done lines

but now that every road is filled with 50 cars on the side burning from drones and infil range is 15km, it's just a whole different crazy

[plush topaz]

💯

[worn sand]

Can't show video because of OPSEC but this was near the frontlines

[near iris]

Well yeah but surely you don't join a war in the first place thinking it's gonna be easy, you'd assume that when it's the worst that's when help is needed the most

[plush topaz]

If you ever find out let me know

[worn sand]

Well, if you really want to go, AZOV and ab3 always needs more people

The offer is there

[plush topaz]

@near iris @worn sand we might get warnings for discussing this here

[worn sand]

Really?

[plush topaz]

Yeah...

[worn sand]

oh because politics?

[near iris]

Yeah not just politics they hate this specific conflict with a passion

[worn sand]

I wonder why

[plush topaz]

Yeah. We are behaving. But you never know with the mods.

[worn sand]

hmm

[near iris]

hahahaa

[plush topaz]

[gentle cypress]

I would say that bombing a populace and starving them leads to such things but I can't wait for the twisted narrative

[plush topaz]

Exhibit A, gentlemen.

[gentle cypress]

Nice counter argument

[near iris]

I'm not touching that discussion with a 10 foot pole you boys knock yourselves out

[gentle cypress]

Imagine your population riots for the right to SA and grape their prisoners

[worn sand]

[plush topaz]

Yeah, nope.

[gentle cypress]

What ? Afraid of the facts ?

It was legit debated in the kneset

🤣

[plush topaz]

Anyway, post kit.

[worn sand]

Not even army generals can handle this conversation

[gentle cypress]

Post the kit of a burner merkava

[gentle cypress]

I mean if you talk about joining the "war' cause you had an itch for it it's kinda wild imo

[worn sand]

That was not me

[gentle cypress]

Not meaning you

[plush topaz]

Got these neat stand alone 203's

[worn sand]

Oh okay

[gentle cypress]

You in Ukraine ?

[worn sand]

Was, came back october

[plush topaz]

Nice. I have the same fog patch on my nods pouch

[worn sand]

the best patch 🙏

[worn sand]

Do you guys ever infil with light vehicles like trucks?

or is it just armoured

[plush topaz]

The one on the left looks like a variation of the Reichsadler

[worn sand]

Because it is 😂

[plush topaz]

Both. Mostly light vehicles due to us supporting conscripts

The conscripts get the heavy armour

[worn sand]

Ohhh i thought it was just us who did that

trucks are the best transport tho, the vibes are something else

[worn sand]

The ranger green 👌

[plush topaz]

It's a mixed bag.

Lots of shitty cheap tactical uniforms in all shades of green. Original OLive drab idf uniform, and the actual idf issue ranger green tactical uniform

[worn sand]

I feel you, I saw the same for UA troops aswell, crazy how different special forces vs ordinary units were treated

[plush topaz]

100%

Even now the idf is giving Gazan militias brand spanking new gear and Im getting crap from the 80's

[lusty kestrel]

upa???

bro?

[worn sand]

[worn sand]

whats up?

[lusty kestrel]

do you not know what that is

[worn sand]

I know what it is but what are you trying to say lol

the patch is kind of a joke

[lusty kestrel]

kinda shity joke ngl 😭

[worn sand]

it's not that im an ultra nationalist for ukraine

i'm just very against the enemy

[lusty kestrel]

yeah uh.

[worn sand]

What?

[lusty kestrel]

this is like wearing a swastika while fighting as a palestinian ngl

[worn sand]

It was a gift to me by one of my azov friends brother

I am not a culturally appropriate progressive guy who looks to much into patches ok?

its just a patch

lol

[plush topaz]

Ukrainians always wear edgy patches. Relax

[worn sand]

exactly

[lusty kestrel]

alr

[worn sand]

Also that's not true because in this hypothesis the real nazis are the ones we fight lol

[lusty kestrel]

nazis vs nazis

[worn sand]

Yes UA are nazis because they execute the russians that raped and murdered families including children

[lusty kestrel]

nah im not talking about that

[worn sand]

if you call me a nazi for what I did then i'll happily take the title

[lusty kestrel]

im more so the upa extremist people

and sorta azov

[worn sand]

Wait wdym azov

'sorta azov'*

are you ukrainian?

[lusty kestrel]

no?

[worn sand]

Wait im confused then, how are you upa extremist and sorta azov

[lusty kestrel]

who said

oh

fuck

shit wording ;sob:

😭

im talking more so the upa extremists

[plush topaz]

This is a ridiculous conversation

[lusty kestrel]

are nazis

[lusty kestrel]

yuh

[worn sand]

Ok so how are you "sorta azov"???

[plush topaz]

Everything is naziism these days Jesus

[worn sand]

im so confused

[lusty kestrel]

no

alr

[lusty kestrel]

i mean wnating to kill literaly everyone that isnt ukrainian is sorta similar to nazism

[worn sand]

Are you just a 15 year old who knows a bit about politics

[midnight birch]

Did you get permission from your idf officer to post your ground operations over here

[worn sand]

I don't want to kill everything that isn't ukrainian

thats not true at all

[lusty kestrel]

im not talking about you

[lusty kestrel]

this is very pointless

They must have some great shots

They do. I’ll try to find the pictures he’s sent me. He sent me one of his tanks main gun that looked like an rpg heat round struck it

I agree😂

[vocal bone]

i dont think some people understand how pwoerfull merkavas are, there over looked thats for sure

[winged hornet]

Their record against hospitals and aid workers is unmatched

[gentle mauve]

I wonder if you can disable a Merkava by throwing a grenade through the hole where the soltam mortar is in the turret

[amber harness]

[stray torrent]

Idk I’m not stupid enough to face off against a merkava with only a hand grenade

I got more photos somewhere in my camera roll gimme a minute to find em

Damaged gun and a cool gunsight pic

I love the look of the merkavas

Love this one

Through the gunsight too

[lusty kestrel]

wouldnt it have like a closing like a gun breech?

[gentle mauve]

Well the mortar’s loaded somehow now isnt it

[lusty kestrel]

they opne the breech from tank

[dense epoch]

dont forget the tunnels under those hospitals

[stray torrent]

Exactly. It’s not like they get out of the tank and load the mortar like your typical carried mortar system

Dropping a frag down it would do jack to the crew. Besides I’m pretty sure merkavas were designed with crew survivability above all

Lowkey a super cool tank

[lusty kestrel]

soviets made a cool mortar thing

the uhhh

2s9 nona i tihnk

airdropable 120mm amphibious mortar

can have at ammo too

[stray torrent]

I think I know what ur talking about

That’s pretty dope

i think they modernized it too
