Not just unimpressive - it would be expected, just like I'd expect the Abrams from the 1980s to be better than a tank from the 1940s - 40 years prior.


And even that's not really accurate. the chassis was designed in the 1980s. The Abrams has gone through multiple renovation projects, and is still one of the, if not the most advanced tanks on the battlefield.

the russian establishment sent the russian patriots on a suicidal attack as part of their conspiracy to destroy russian resistance against the west in collaboration with the ukrainian state, but they underestimated the will of the russian people in their brave fight against the CIA, hopefully prigozhin takes advantage of the new strength of the wagner group to strike back against NWO agent vladimir putin and finally do what's necessary to win the special military operation

The treaty takes effect when Turkey deposits their ratification at Washington DC, then Finland becomes an official member around a week later iirc.

Not sure if this has been posted yet.

Over the month of March Russia increased the area of land they control in Ukraine by approximately 70km².

Assuming Ukraine doesn't launch any counteroffensives, it would take Russia years just to capture the Donbas.

Apparently War Minister Shoigu says he's gonna speed up the ammunition supplies... which means less trucks and transports for the Russian infantry...

Lazerpig's video on the T-34 is pretty shockingly misinformed and contains a lot of double standards regarding wartime production so I tend to really not take him seriously about things. It's one of those things where someone seems very educated and then they make something on a topic you know a fair bit about and then you can never take them seriously again.

Russia's been putting all its trucks on hauling artillery shells from trains to their howitzers... to the absolute detriment of the infantry. This just means the frontline guys will be getting even less transports...
