Nearly 2,000 ceasefire violations yesterday, up from 153 on Tuesday.
they did say that when its about to happen it will get really quiet

True. I’d imagine they’d jam all communications and attack as fast as possible. By the time we hear anything they’d already be in Ukraine.

>Just before 11pm, the Russian embassy in Washington has been sending journalists emails with file attachments supposedly to back up claims of mass graves in the Moscow-backed breakaway part of Luhansk. - as per editor at the guardian
That and the fact that they extended the “military exercises” that were supposed to end today and are keeping all their forces nearby makes me really think.
Javelins do have two fire modes from what I understand though. They don’t have to attack from above.

kek stupid ruskies

can a direct line of fire hit from a javelin penetrate frontal T-90M armor? iirc the top down is to hit the weak armor on the top of the turret or top of the back part of the tank
Is this another non-happening? Because after La Palma and Truckers I just can't take it anymore.
Jacob Cooper
Quick hypothetical question, approximately how much money would it cost to keep this many troops essentially combat-ready at Ukrainian borders for another two weeks? On a scale from quite a lot to a metric fuckton.
hey at least with la palma we were half right, they said for weeks that it wouldnt erupt and it sure as fuck did, just no collapse
Benjamin Bell
Macron set up a summit between Biden and Putin. It’s over boys pack it up happening cancelled
Nathaniel Ward
We'll have our own happening, with blackjack and hookers
Adam James
Provided it misses the reactive armor, a javelin should be able to carve a hole through the side. The bigger issue is getting close enough to engage direct line of fire without the russkies spotting you and turning you into wet grass.
Carson Jones
nah it said in principle, meaning its just the us backstepping their vague terror threat bs from the moscow embassy
David Davis
This isn't about javs. This is to stop homemade drones from dropping bomblets in 3D printed cases on top. ISIS has been fucking shit up with those tactics and the Ruskies are some of the first I've seen to adapt to it.
Jose Price
So an RPG-29 was able to penetrate the T-90 with reactive armor 3 times? Why was it able to do that but not the ATGM missiles?
Kornet is powerful in theory but the electronics in front of the missile disrupt the armor penetrating jet. Syria war confirmed how dangerous the RPG-29 really is.

>BREAKING: Ukrainian group infiltrated the positions in DPR and killed one of the recently mobilized citizens. Georgy Floidov, 46, was choked to death by one of the "Aidar" batallion soldiers, while protecting a pregnant woman in her house. Never forget, never forgive. Ukrofascists will pay for this.
