so, like, every ATGM in the russian export inventory over the past 20 years. good to know!

probably remote-detonated IEDs and anti-tank mines in the mix too. tune in tomorrow for another edition of bellingsquat.

Fun(?) fact about BMPs is that they were designed for the battlefield of WWIII Germany with the expectation that any disabling shot would kill everyone inside due to chemical/radioactive exposure. Consequently the designers de-emphasized the survivability of the crew and passengers in case it was knocked out because they assumed everyone inside would be dead men anyway. This lead to design decisions such as storing ammunition in the passenger compartment and putting fuel tanks in the doors (!!!!). Anyway point being is that they're even more of a death trap than a normal lightly armored AFV.
yeah they weren't even thinking about the tactical level as much as they were ruthlessly reinforcing success via massive, operational-level breakthroughs across the whole north german plain. it's not something you can picture on a photograph. like, they were imagining losing 100 vehicles in one area -- just hit with a nuke etc. -- and then would plan for saying, well that didn't work, and pull the survivors toward another area where 500 vehicles just rolled over NATO and just keep driving. whereas this is like rugged, hilly trench warfare.

These always half make me want to visit the Caucuses, and half terrify me of them.

"Come, see the Caucuses!
See our sights.
Sample our food.
See our priests preaching ethnic cleansing.
Watch our fancy prancing lads.
See the old architecture.
Look at the attractive women.
See our death squads.
See our singers who look like that Ukrainian guy you used to buy ecstasy from in your apartment building..."
what you're afraid of probably won't kill you, and people need to go places and meet people who they might be afraid of to realize, hey, that wasn't so bad. it's also about trust and respect. not going native exactly but kinda like lawrence of arabia. pack light but having some stuff to give away like american cigarettes helps. you know you've made it when the guy you're with says "if your life is ever at risk, it won't be until all of my men are dead."

Well yeah I guess if we strip out everything in the end Armenia wasn’t the one who started this so they’re in the right. I honestly hate the Azerbaijan government and I don’t care at all that they’re Muslims theyre a lovely dictatorship that’s allied with Israel so they can just gently caress right off lol.

The amount of trolling online though is really insane I truly don’t understand what’s the point of what Azerbaijan and their backers are trying to accomplish, do they even have military objectives?!
i briefly scanned twitter and it's pretty extreme. i suspect a lot of this is turkish, this was also a pattern during the invasion of rojava with turkish astroturfing and signal boosting. i don't know what the logic behind it is other that to try and create disorientation / propaganda but they absolutely flood it. weaponized social media.

apropos of this conversation although not directly related, i thought this video (from lockheed) about how the U.S. navy's LRASM works was pretty scary... with visualizations of how the uplink system works before the missiles basically go into "drone" mode and do the rest of the mission themselves

i also have to give lockheed credit for leaning into the fact that "we're a dystopian nightmare corporation"

yeah the russian military invests heavily in defensive jamming gear like that. assuming it's because their primary expected foe is the U.S. military which, you know, has a lot of sophisticated systems and aircraft.
