Russian special military operation in Ukraine #40

Couldn't read the whole thread, sorry if it's been already discussed: I am getting more and more convinced that there won't be any Russian offensive. There will be (maybe soon) an Ukranian one, the Russians will just wait and grind, only after it they will push forward west.
Not sure I can call it an offensive, it will be more almost like a walk in the park with no opposition.

The use of OU in Ukraine will poison not only Ukraine. This stuff will get into the groundwater, and then into the Black Sea. Expect a surge of oncological diseases in the Black Sea states in the coming years. Some of these states are members of NATO. So Britain is actually preparing a diversion, including against NATO countries with the use of nuclear materials.

Why is Russia downloading the T-55 when the production of the T-90M is really booming? Plus repairs to the T-72B.

The last BMP-3 has the marking 49 pieces. The question is since when counted from the beginning of the year probably. Since January 49, the BMP 3 is not so much compared to the production of the T-90M, for example, there is a huge difference. Unless it's from the beginning of the month.

^^ t-55 tanks? why not? Everything is going to the front now-days, even mutant MTLBs. I can see them being used as assault guns. 

And about DU rounds- I agree this is western provocation. But Russia shouldn’t overreact. They won’t change anything in the battlefield.

And if you are worried about pollution and lasting effects… well, Ukrainians had Azovstal that was poisoning Mariupol and nearby waters. They are willing to destroy dams and flood chemical factories, they are shitting mines without marking them left and right… They are willing to shell NPP.

DU contamination is least of a problem right now. Kids will step on mines and uxo, they will get poisoned by chemicals and various pollutants… Russia has experience clearing nuclear waste and tanks and these events could be localised, but what about mines in endless fields and destroyed ecosystem with rivers being poisoned by “conventional” means. Azot is already leaking nitrogen and amonia, Lychychnyanks oil refinery is compromised, Adiivka coke and chemical plant disaster is not even cleaned up from like 2017…

From the looks of it, cleaning works will take, I bet western support will not be a thing as they don’t care.

To make space in the storages for new T-90M

A T-55 tank has also survived a war in Syria for many years. It's a tank. A heavy piece of steel that can very painfully use his weapon or block the enemy with it. More than useful in the rear room.

Guys, as we can see a lot of older tanks being brought back to service, what do you think will it be possible to do similar with old decommissioned warplanes like Mig-27s and Su-17s ?
Both were produced till early 90's and they were also retired in the late 90's.

I know plane is more complicated system than tank, however it is possible to refurbish them I am sure.
Maybe wagner could use them as they are simple and more easy to operate.

not to forget about Mig-29s which is still useful bird.

T90M is to be used by the contract guys

T55 will probably be updated to T62M standard which received sights, reactive armor, and other goodies

Those tanks are really good to give to mobilized personnel who can operate those vehicles without having to go to a full fledged tank school

They can do the same with such equipment near the frontline

Tbh Ukrainian t64 is easy to kill with T62 or T55, I'd rather save the T90M and send to NATO border

Disgusting that the smarmy Pakistani **** Sunak in Britain is talking about sending DU shells which are in practice dirty nuke material. The pos is trying to get other vassal states to send the same poison.

I wonder what Russia's response might be.
I live in Britain/ Brit-stan but Russia really needs to show those cocksuckers a firm hand for once.

I've always been a big Putin fan, certainly over other leaders at least. BUT I think he's played Gandhi for far too long and needs to instill some fear in the evil perpetuators of this atrocity called the Pukraine.

Nuclear terrorism doesn't only require the firmest possible response. It requires the firmest possible pre-emption and deterrent. Otherwise... next step will be nuclear waste sprayed all over Moscow as well.

PS why can't I say c-u-n-t for Sunak?

S-300 SAM coming from a western direction hit a residential building in Zaporozhye, today.

Much like the infamous Kiev one from last year, it is absolutely obvious that it is a Ukrainian AD failure.

But Zelensky shamelessly calls it a deliberate Russian attack and no media even bothers fact-checking it. So tiring.

Went to Donbas, met our brothers. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

HIMARS computers and chips captured by Russia

Doubt will be of much help to Russia, when they are already operating a more advanced system like the TORNADO.

Guys from the Kaskad unit cooking

Russia has no DU rounds in service or ever had, AFAIK

Yes the USSR developed some, but never introduced/mass-produced them

"HIMARS computers and chips captured by Russia"

According to whom? I hope there is more then a pic of a part that could be from anything

The T-55 is obsolete as a tank. The 100mm rifled gun it uses cannot penetrate a T-64 properly. I assume it would be used as infantry support vehicle. It will also make the logistics with ammo worse. Some countries have upgraded similar tanks (Chinese Type 59 which is a T-54 clone) with 125mm guns and more modern engines like Pakistan and Bangladesh. But there is simply no way around the lackluster armor protection it has.

For example this is an upgraded T-55 from Bangladesh. Upgraded with Chinese equipment.


It has 125mm gun, thermal sights, 730hp engine, and ERA blocks.

Is it really more advanced when you don't have the C5ISR capabilities to make it as effective?
