@Alex Doroshenk Господи! Есть, есть разумные люди! Я всегда верила!

@Alex Doroshenk Такого шага от России не ожидал никто. Ни Украина, ни Европа, ни США, ни даже сами россияне. У всех появился общий вопрос - почему? Похоже первым ближе всех оказался к правильному ответу экс-президент США Дональд Трамп, чей комментарий журналисты описали как - "гениальное решение Путина". Правда высказался он так о признании Россией Донецкой и Луганской народных республик, за 2 дня до начала операции. Но вряд ли, и Трамп предполагал что за этим последует. Решение Путина вызвало шквал возмущений у западного мира и это понятно - им 3 века рассказывали об "империи зла" и уже 2 месяца готовили к "вторжению России на Украину". И в то же время ни слова о расстрелах Донецка и Луганска. Нашлось много противников такого метода решения проблемы и среди сторонников РФ, и даже внутри самой России. Это тоже можно понять - война несёт смерть и ужас для населения и не только в местах боевых столкновений и любое решение о начале войны, вызывает отторжение у нормального человека. Когда петиции подписывают люди, не привыкшие самостоятельно переосмыслить столь значимые события - понять можно. Когда подписывает творческая интеллигенция, тоже можно принять - их призвание эмоции и искусство, но никак не анализ и размышления. Но когда учёные мыслители не могут понять, почему? Это вызывает тревогу. Моя первая реакция тоже была - неприятие. Но жизнь научила не принимать на веру чужое мнение, пусть даже и большинства, нужно своими мозгами понять и найти ответ на вопрос - почему? Легко осудить, но трудно найти и предложить своё "правильное решение". Решение большинства противников спецоперации - Россия не должна была вмешиваться. Интересно, а как противники спецоперации видели решение проблемы с развивающейся нацисткой угрозой, которую навязали нашим соседям и братьям? Помахать плакатами на площади - "Долой нацизм и бендеровщину"? Подписать петицию против националистов? А может ввести войска только в Донбасс и Луганск и кинуть наших ребят в лобовую атаку и смотреть, как с двух сторон по 150 тысяч парней будут 3 месяца уничтожать друг друга в гигантской мясорубке? До последнего украинца и последнего русского? Честно, я так и предполагал, что решатся на ввод войск только в республики и в кровопролитных боях будут перемалывать украинцев, которых мы по-прежнему называем братьями. И остановимся на бывших границах Донецкой и Луганской областей. И кто мы после этого будем в глазах всего мира, своих союзников и россиян? На фоне сотен тысяч погибших? Так и не ликвидировавших главную угрозу нам и самим украинцам в лице нацистов? Нас назовут так же, что и сейчас - агрессорами, развязавшими войну и положившими в землю сотни тысяч трупов и травить санкциями будут так же, и отбирать у нас союзников, лишать нас международной поддержки и можно ещё перечислять бесконечно долго. Это и был "гениальный" план американцев. Чем бы не закончился разыгранный ими сценарий, он неизменно принёс бы им политические бонусы, а России геополитические минусы. Выиграй Россия бойню в ДНР и ЛНР ценой сотен тысяч смертей - Россия агрессор. Отступись Россия от ДНР и ЛНР - Россия в очередной раз предала и бросила своих, смотрите все как ослабла Россия, теперь её можно добить и расчленить, как мечтал Запад все последние 400 лет. Сами американцы занимаются такими операциями по всему миру уже 70 лет. И только там, где им начинает мешать Россия, у американцев случаются неудачи. А вы, даже не поняли к чему нас вела Европа. К чему готовила долгих 20 лет Украину. Планы уничтожения России, как самостоятельного, державного государства, занимающего более 1/8 части планеты, а значит имеющей столько же ресурсов, никто на Западе не отменял. Эти планы существовали ещё со времён царской России и существуют до сих пор. И пока Россия будет владеть 1/8 частью всех природных богатств Земли, эти планы будут стремиться осуществить. По мнению Запада (и не только его) - несправедливо, что Россия, имея всего 2% от населения Земли, владеет 1/8 суши планеты. Но если результат будет в глазах "Запада" тот же, так почему не поискать варианты, при которых мы могли бы добиться максимально полезного результата для Республик, украинцев, своих союзников и для России?

they're likely unaware of the capability the Ukrainians have over their shoulder. Russian high command wouldn't want to set in panic.

I also think that some soldiers probably think they're in a 'cushy' job driving utility vehicles transporting fuel and goods compared to front-line combat. Thing is, they're some of the top targets for these weapons aka logistics so in just as much danger.

@@patrickbarks997 being in the logistic is much scarier than being in the frontline especially if you're facing a guerilla force because the only way guerilla fighters can hurt a much stronger army is by targeting their logistics. Vietnam is the prime example for that.

@@owarida6241 yes that’s exactly what I mean.

What supply truck?!? 🤣

They have all of them, even RPGs

It's going to be very effective against most armed vehicles, but not against the main battle tanks.

Im guessing thermals use line of sight. so, the soldier just need to hide.

As soon as a javelin is fired a tank very little defense against it. Javelins are "fire and forget"-- there is no need for a spotter to aim a laser-- it tracks and hits the tank all by itself, with a 95% hit rate.

True, but it's a damn sight better than not having any weapon at all to counter a tank - plus, given that Ukraine doesn't really have the forces or the population to go 1:1 with Russia in Kursk-esque battles, hit and run ambushes while assets are en-route to the frontlines are their best bet to whittle down Russia's fighting strength to a managable size, which this quite handily fits into.

Not so east, only new tanks have counter measures and the counter measures are contested to how effective they are. Aslongs the NLAWS and Javlins are fired from an advantage position then there's little the tank can do too stop it. The awsome thing with NLAWS they are designed for just that. They can be fired within closed enviroment. There's a video of Ukrainians taking out a Tank with a NLAW From a roof top. THe effectiveness of NLAWS will be more prominent when it comes to urban warfare.

The tank's thermal imager will detect the shooter at a safe distance for itself and destroy the shooter. It's an ambush weapon. This is not always possible.

Sorry Billy but no it is not. NLAW is an entirely British funded project. Bofors did some early R & D work but they are built by Thales (ex Short Brothers) in Belfast. Sweden does not make them at all. In fact Sweden buys its stock from the UK.

Respect from the UK.

@@1chish I've also bought the stocks which are SAAB Bofors stocks.

@@1chish I was under the impression that development was done at the Saab/Bofors facilities in Sweden with Thales doing the manufacturing. The development took almost 8 years, and I met someone who worked at Saab with robot 57 (what you call NLAW) in karlskoga for at least 6 of those years.

@@LinusBerglund Yes Bofors did the R & D using earlier experience with 'BILL 2' and 'AT4 CS' systems as I said funded by the British MoD. That started in 2002 so yes its been a long gestation but production started in 2009. The UK Defence Procurement Agency procures the systems for both the UK and Sweden. The weapon is called the RB-57 in Sweden but it is built by the British.

I fired a couple of MILAN about 30 years ago. If i remember correctly they cost 12k each and the post was 18K, at the time. It could take a tank out at up to 2 kms, but we needed to stay put to guide it for the 12 seconds it took to get there. The NLAWS appear to be better, other than the range.

The computer system for the javelin is like 120k or something

The NLAW appears to be a cheaper copy of our US Javelin, which would appeal to alot of countries on a limited military budget. I'm not saying the NLAW is a bad missile by any means, I just would be sh**ting my pants being that close to the enemy and firing at them. I would prefer to have the Javelin and stay back 4.5 km. The Javelins were actually invented way back in the 70's during the cold war and kept classified, because we didn't want the USSR to get one to copy and use against us. I think the infrared guidance system on the missile came from way back in the 1950's when the sidewinder heat seeking missile was invented.

Yeah well RPGs are even less and they've been used to take down Abram tanks in the early part of Afghan war. The difference is the US' incredibly efficient adaptability to build their tanks to a standard where they can just about survive against one RPG

@@wavetrex There is claims, nothing ever proven against modern delivery systems.

The US Military has WWIII stockpiles of arms all around the world. If the USA ever runs out of arms, then the world will be in really bad condition.

These missiles are a relatively new design, but I’m sure the factory is flat out now.

Yeah as the US has delivered additional 17,000 javelins and additional 2,000 stingers in the past several days. Most of the pledged military aid of 350M . Compared to what's been already delivered several months leading up to the invasion is astounding. Seems more was delivered since the invasion in about week's time than before.

The main reason why there is only a limited supply getting there, so far, is because no nation wants to leave themselves vulnerable by sending their own reserves!

@@kentonian Not remotely a new design. I remember seeing the signs up at the plant, occasionally, advertising major internal/external meetings/goals a LONG time back. It was actually fielded in 1996, which is what, 26 years ago. If a quarter century is new to you, fine, and with military turnover of some weapons, definitely true (B52, anyone?), but I'm not too sure I'd use the word new, even with your qualifier, personally, for this type of weapon. Go back twice that far and you are in the Vietnam era. Do it three times and you are in WWII. My, how time flies, huh? Wasn't here for the last world war, but my father in law was shot down as the pilot of a B24 returning from Ploesti (IIRC, it was a German target, anyway, oil factories and the like), and escaped. He was very lucky, not many did. It was fairly early, at least for escapes like his, and he helped author the escape and evasion material taught shortly thereafter.

The number of kia is close to 4000 latest i heard and times two wounded does not sound completely off considering how pathetic putins blyatkrieg is. I would say these figures are pretty accurate however im wondering about ukrainian casualties.

@@pauledwards9493 11,000 is way too high. As a casualty figure with wounded, dead and captured. Yes it's possible.

@@sida9439 ukranians are mostly dispersed in harder to target small units mostly staging hit and run tactics with nato obviously feeding them intel behorehand on where to set up those devastating ambushes on Russian convoys , if they keep up for another 10days Putin will run out cash and replacements for the tanks and APCs getting blown up

@@eduwino151 ye lets hope they have to end this war soon so we can start to rebuild what the shithead destroyed.

Putin admitted himself that Russia is no match for NATO, the problem is dealing with someone who feels that they have nothing to lose..

In total, 2,396 military infrastructure facilities of Ukraine were destroyed during the operation. Among them - 82 control points and communication centers of the Ukrainian armed forces, 119 anti-aircraft missile systems S-300, Buk-M1 and Osa, as well as 76 radar stations, 827 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 84 jet multiple launch rocket systems, 304 field artillery and mortar guns, 603 special military vehicles, and 78 unmanned aerial vehicles.

Ukraine. The total area is 603,549 km². The population, according to the estimates of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine as of January 1, 2022, is 40,997,699 permanent residents and 41,167,336 people in the present population. All the remaining troops of Ukraine are sitting in the cities, so it seems that Russia is not coping. But the operation is going according to plan. They will write about it in textbooks, and will cite it as an example.

@@alekseirekunenko6710 An example of what exactly?

Oh I was about to give you a thumbs up, but you ruined it with the last 10 words.

like that german antitank thingy that was seized by the russians. it had a paperwork showing it was decommissioned a decade ago.

dr, you need to realize that you may be testing someone's patience as well. otherwise you may get surprised and not understand someone's actions, blame them and repeat the mistake at the nearest opportunity.

Tank are useful in convenctional war not insurgency

@@rameshtyagi161 And what is happing in the Ukraine at the moment is conventional war not insurgency also the last time i looked there isn't a rule book

@@johnord684 Is a soldier obsolete because a bullet can kill him? Future tanks will have systems to repel launchers like this in a few years. War is an evolutionary process.
