Putin Declares War on the Ukraine

beagle9 Your reaction tells me you're surprised with what I said.

I don't watch TV, but I've been pointed out to this clip, therefore reason for why I said it.
The specific part is on 2:30 mark. Things get interesting when you go down the memory hole...

Putin the stable genius:



They dug trenches in the worst, tiny little spot on the entire planet to dig a trench.

They apparently had no idea it was radioactive. Is the information in Russia that controlled? Not one person knew it was radioactive, or thought to find out if it was radioactive or not?

Were these Putin's conscripts that he just experimented on? What in the wide world of sports is going on, here?

Did Putin even know they took the Chernobyl plant and dug in?

Why are you suddenly worried about Russians and their lives? You must be Putin plant.

It looks like a shell (or maybe a tandem ATGM) hit the front of the tank and was deflected by the ERA into the circle soldiers standing in front.

As the tank approaches, it gets hit in the front. An instant later, the second explosion.

The same VIDEO with sound, tank fired twice, then machine gun fire.

Here is VIDEO of the aftermath.

The first one is an obvious CGI. The dirt piles are not very well done, the highway is clean and the soldiers are standing in tall grass.

I saw that later. I was just posting what I found online.

By the way, Mariupol seems to be under Russian control.

It seems that yes, but the number of Ukrainian troops more likely is fake.

Question out of curiosity - Why don't the tanks in theater have counter measures like chaff or other such counter measures on board to deploy, otherwise when it comes to incoming heat seekers or infrared missiles that are incoming ?? I thought this was 2022 where militaries should have trained for this kind of warfare, and developed counter measures that would protect their man power and assets in theater. It almost looks like a turkey shoot. I thought modern tanks were ready for anything this day and age. Being in a tank is like a sitting duck when it comes to the battlefield. Just an observation from a military interest kind of view.

Russian tanks (T-72, T-90) and Ukrainian (T-72, T-80/84) we've seen in this war all have reactive armor, which is basically explosive sandwiched in between two plates. Those explode when directly hit and explosion redirect the cumulative explosion away. They work against most light shoulder launched systems what require direct hit, but not against Javelins or NLAWs that hit the tank from above. They don't work well against rounds fired from other tanks due to velocity and material used (like depleted uranium). Against Javelins and NLAWs, some tanks have "active reactive armor" called "hard kill" that are used as countermeasures you mentioned above, and they pop out and explode before the rocket hit, eventually destroying it.

Here are few photos of version T-72B3M that survived anti-tank rocket hit. Notice the exploded "brick" that deflected the cumulative charge. Clink on photos to enlarge.

You know what I thought of one time, otherwise in regards to protection of armor whether on ship's, tank's etc ??

Taking one inch diameter super strong steal pins say 2' long or less, and placing them like a porcupine hide (super close together), upon every square inch of the armor, and do so in a design that would disrupt the incoming warhead by it being detonated and shredded before it reaches the skin of the armor itself. Wouldn't that disrupt a shape charge that is so deadly to armor ??

So in summary the vehicle would look or have the appearance of a porcupine, but the look would be steal pins mounted or welded in a way to disrupt an incoming round by a shredder effect.

Weight might pose a serious problem though. Not sure what the formula would look like.

I never get tired of seeing the clips of commercial drones dropping the homemade grenade bombs.
