that's where the humor is located to me. I've seen guys handle tank and artillery shells, shit is heavy as fuck, solid metal and HE. ain't none of it buoyant lol
when you want to lay down stereo fire
If they can drone-ize them and deliver them in working order to Ukraine, holy shit... Good buy! https://www.defensenews.com/air/2024/04/19/us-air-force-stages-dogfights-with-ai-flown-fighter-jet/
I'm sorry but once mr cow declared jihad and joined the taliban, his days were numbered.
I think it would reduce effectiveness but not enough to make a significant difference, certainly not enough to justify the state of it.
the metal a heat round jets into the cabin is made of the turret/hull it was in contact with. the liquid metal that bounces around inside is called spalling. Spall are fragments of a material that are broken off a larger solid body. It can be produced by a variety of mechanisms.
two different types of spalling effect, but the same thing overall.
I'm pretty sure neither type of attack would fail because of a few cm of brick - this is russian magic thinking. Am also nerd on internet, but prior service from an armor division. Tanks are some of the tastiest targets on a battlefield and advancements in RPG warhead designs were a constant source of discussion.
I kinda wish I could go back (the 49th AD doesn't exist anymore but 1st Cav does) and hear what they're thinking watching the battle damage analysis come through. Drones have changed the game so much.
they're trying to detonate incoming shaped charges early to prevent the formation of the jet of hot metal that sprays into the tank. these kinds of munitions work best on contact with the turret or hull - their explosive creates spalling, which is pretty much liquid metal fragments that bounce around the crew cabin, perforating mobliks and cooking off the ammunition.
At least some of them are still pissed about the Afghanistan invasion in the 80s. Others are upset about Russia's support for Syria.
If you’re abandoning a tank, there’s a good chance you’re worried about being sniped.
learn that at ft benning huh? home of the armor school?
No you didn't. because that's.... something you just assumed in your head.
these chucklefucks getting blasted in Ukraine have a lot more to worry from mine and rpg toting quad copters than their TC getting sniped in the turret.
sniping tank commanders would actually be living on hard mode because if the russians have ANYTHING with IR, it'll be their more advanced BMPs and t72s/t90s. so you take your pot shot, then they slew around, find your hot spot, and start putting autocannon rounds around you. not a smart tactic.
you don't waste snipers attacking tanks. why do I even bother replying....
been seeing lots of footage of them flying right into hatches of bmps and t90s. really makes me wonder why the orks aren't buttoned up / closing their hatches on exit more.
it's funny but also conservative chuds believe this shit.... which is depressing but also funny.
Honestly I think there are at least 4 really REALLY good arguments for nationalizing spaceX. Fuckwit Musk is a national security risk.
music generation and remixing
any insight as to what this is?
