The legacy soviet 2M-7 trawler mounted gun is not.

I spent time as a gunner in a sustained fire machine gun platoon. We trained to fire them in indirect fire so I could be some edge case usage of them, but comparing them to them capability of a modern radar guided AA with fused airbursting rounds is pretty retarded |

Russia has lost 10 times more tanks than Germany at Kursk. Almost 90 battalions. At what point does the Russian armoured arm of the military cease to exist?
Then again, at Kursk, the Soviets could stand to lose 10 to 1 because they were outproducing the Germans by over 20 to 1, and Stalin's concern over human casualties was pretty much non-existent (sort of like Putin). |

In the lunchtime update of The Times.
Xi expected to hold talks with Zelensky after visiting Putin President Xi is expected to hold talks with President Zelensky next week for the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine in an effort to broker peace. The video meeting is likely to follow a summit in Moscow next week between Xi and President Putin, according to The Wall Street Journal. Beijing has sought greater involvement in securing peace in Ukraine, announcing a series of proposals last month aimed at de-escalation that were swiftly rejected by allies but not ruled out by Kyiv. Zelensky has said that Ukraine needs Beijing’s involvement to solve the conflict. “China has shown its thoughts. I believe the fact that China started talking about Ukraine is not bad,” he said last month. “But the question is what follows the words. The question is in the steps and where they will lead to.” |
How thick do they think we all are?, A 10 year old Russian boy shot by NATO marked round while saving 2 girls.....
Behold the 5.5mm G/S screwdriver bit round .. :ugh: I wonder if they do a No2 Posidrive armoured piercing round as well? Luckily they never used a No3 philips round as he would have been well and truly screwed. :p |

Russians getting twitch6 as Ukrainian deception Ops keep the, confused about where their spring offensive will attack…

Interesting calculation discussed in this new @Forbes piece. Russia looks to be running out of T-72s even more quickly than previously thought.
Estimated that Russia has already lost 2/3 of its T-72s. What’s left is older and crappier. https://t.co/muasWePWVz |
That’s going to make waves….
Kazakhstan seized the property of Roscosmos of Russia The Kazakh authorities seized the property of the main operator of Russian spaceports - the Center for the Operation of Ground-Based Space Infrastructure (TsENKI). A formal reason is a debt of 2 billion rubles. |
