AFAK these things dig themselves in before firing, so that the ground absorbs the recoil. On a barge the oggin around will be displaced as the recoil forces the barge down and the barge will not necessarily come up in the same spot.
A similar problem occurs with NGS, varying with the relative bearing and elevation of the gun but there the ship is moving any way so the gun systems calculate accordingly. N |
Few doctors, no medical equipment, no drugs…..
Mobilised Russians in Sverdlovsk region are suffering from a mass outbreak of infectious disease, but doctors are unable to treat them due to a lack of equipment and medicine. This is likely the result of overcrowded, insanitary conditions at their training area... |
Words fail me what these guys are going through.

Not disputing your information, but does recoil actually affect accuracy? I would have thought the shell would be long gone by the time recoil happens.

Due to Lukashenko’s refusal to participate in the war in Ukraine information has leaked that there are preparations for an assassination of Lukashenko.

I try, I mentioned them earlier in relation to the vehicles the MOD flog off with 250 miles on the clock and 7 k price when they cost just shy of 90 k new. :)
If the military were to drive similar military vehicles in the U.K. the police would arrest you for various offences ;) btw see the other thread, the Kerch bridge is repaired. |

Perhaps related to the shortage being reported on the front lines - Russia experiencing major supply problems - and a few aircraft won’t close the gap.
