  1. So thinking about trying to sink the Moskva; I was looking at where they’d take her in Sevastopol. Looks like when Google flew it earlier this year she was docked just down the way from the big dry dock they’d probably head for. Lots of tall buildings and shit in the way to try and hit her again in the harbor; I’d try to hit it again tonight while she’s still at sea.
  2. Yeah but that Finnish PM seems like she’s into some kinky / fun shit.
  3. Good article in that twitter thread: http:// https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/04/12/ukraine-military-culture-advantage-over-russia/ “an 1854 article in the Economist explaining Russia’s early defeats in the Crimean War — also fought primarily in Ukraine — reads eerily like an account of Russia’s current military travails… The Economist ascribed these pathologies to the “inadequacy of despotic power.” It noted that “cheating, bribery, peculation pervade the whole tribe of officials,” that “there seems to be no conscience, and not much concealment, about it,” and that “regard for truth or integrity has no part in the Russian character.” The Economist wasn’t pulling any punches in 1854.
  4. Finnish PM is giving me this vibe:
  5. Yeah for sure don’t know where it’s all going to/coming from; but stuff is moving at a lot higher rate recently, and lots more OD green on the rails than I’ve ever seen.
  6. I’m in Temple some for work and I’ve seen 4 trainloads of tracked vehicles presumably heading out from Hood and another Surly poster saw a loading operation in port of Houston on potentially a fifth I believe. I’m not there everyday so I could have not seen several more. I’ve seen a load of freshly painted OD M1s (below), a load of OD painted self propelled howitzers, a mixed load of desert tan and OD rolling stock, and today a load of camo BFVs.
  7. Bradleys on the rails today.
  8. Zelenskyy was good on 60 Minutes tonight. Obviously tired/drained but focused and thoughtful. He said we shouldn’t fear Russia’s nukes. Also would like more weapons more quickly; said he gave Biden a list. He was not remorseful about telling NATO they are being weak (stop fearing Russia) or about telling the UN Security Council it shouldn’t exist if they can’t do something about this situation. Both maybe correct, but pretty strong statements. He justified it by saying he doesn’t have any more lives/emotions/time to put into diplomacy that is more bureaucracy than results. When asked how they’ve been so successful against the Russians, he said the people, the armed forces, everyone came together as “one fist”. Pretty good line. Also, more dead bodies shown in prime time than maybe ever on US network TV. Had some other good interviews and good camerawork on the ground. Worth the time to watch.
  9. @deadshank you weren’t kidding about it being dry there. Glad you got the water stations set up
  10. From one of MillerEP’s links. This is great, maybe the best orc water crossing Fail yet, and they published the video themselves:
  11. Learned from dad how to operate in the safety factor of every tool/machine available.
  12. That’s really nice! I wanted to build a trailer to hold two 330gal totes, but haven’t had time for it yet.
  13. Hold my beer good sir: Caveat: I don’t fill it all the way; but the rated load capacity on these mules is 1100lbs I think. I go slow and work flat ground. I think I put over 200gallons it it once and it was ok. I was watering trees:
  14. I thank God we have two ponds/tanks on our place which never run dry. Our high fence neighbor is trying to install a water system now to some of his feeder locations as he can’t keep up with the water hauling during a prolonged dry spell like we’re having now. Are you going to haul the transport tote in a truck or UTV? Are you going to use a transfer pump or gravity?
  15. Great thread from Hertling, makes me feel better about Ukraine’s chances in the next phase
  16. A trainload of self propelled artillery was on the rails today in Temple.
  17. Orc drivers botch another water crossing. This has got to be approaching double digit instances of this stuff.
  18. This was bad ass, also very lucky that the chopper loitered too long
  19. You thinking cellular or non-cellular (I.e. do you want the photos sent to you or do you mind going out and pulling memory cards?)
  20. Not that it’s addressing this issue directly, but I saw another trainload of Bradley’s and other armor/tracked vehicles headed east out of Hood today. Wondering if we’re sending more stuff to NATO allies so they can send all their Soviet stuff to Ukraine.
  21. There is some of that, but there is also a very compelling strategic argument to letting Putin keep digging the hole he’s in deeper and deeper. If NATO, et al play everything right, maybe Putin goes away and Russian politics gets a much needed reset. Maybe then we don’t have more Grozny’s, Aleppo’s, and Ukraine’s. The only way this shit ends long term is with a political reset over there, with freedom of the press as order #1. It sucks for the Ukrainians but they should have got their shit in order and aligned with the EU and NATO earlier. This is the biggest cautionary tale in awhile highlighting the fact that you’re either in NATO, or you may be fair game for the Putin’s of the future.
  22. This is the second Ukrainian dude with what to hunters stateside we might call a “get r dun” Turkey hunting setup (the foam pad fastened to his gear covering his butt). Very handy when sitting for long periods awaiting your quarry, especially on cold ground. The Ukrainians are all in; from the high speed guys down to the “good ole boys” and I fucking dig it.
  23. Maybe I’m underestimating the Rooskies here, but I’m skeptical of anything mentioning “changing direction” and double-digit Mach speeds. The SR-71 had a turning radius of ~100 miles at Mach 3+ I believe.
  24. I ran across this on March 22; at least two posts that day of dudes with Mosin’s, with vintage optics. Russian gear is all over the place; supposedly cutting edge gear/hypersonic missles over here, and then Scooby Do vans and Mosins over there.
