Cannon_Fodder posted:Very silly. Are they just bored? What's the point? They both claim the land. For insane national pride reasons, they cannot agree to not fight over it. For sane self-preservation reasons, they agree that going to actual war over it would be dumb and potentially suicidal. So instead, both sides just continuously feed young men into the meat grinder where they maim each other and hack each other to death with pseudo-medieval weapons.

The terrain is also loving miserable for a battlefield. Altitude issues mean that you can't get more than a pittance of forces up there at a time, logistics sit somewhere between lol and lmao. Polyakov did a good writeup about the last time they gave it a go using all the non-nuclear firepower they could muster. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3896814&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=382#post506357858

Alchenar posted:BRICS refers to the weapons they use to fight each other Actually looking at the video, it seems like the trigger point for the fight actually starting was someone from I assume the Indian side going forward trying to calm things down (while someone is shouting "Rocks! Rocks!" in Chinese - not sure if he means "They're armed with rocks!" or "We need to pick up rocks!" or both), and then for whatever reason the Chinese guy takes the Indian dude's outstretched hand and straight-up pulls him into the Chinese ranks which naturally kicks off the Indians attacking which leads to a general clash. I can't help but wonder what exactly was happening but behaving aggressively towards a guy obviously trying to cool down tensions is not a good look (though obviously not at all out of character).

The facility will focus on repairing foreign armored vehicles and producing new ones, as reported by Oleksandr Kamyshin, Ukraine’s Minister of Strategic Industries. There was a lot of talk of opening foreign defense industry shops in Ukraine(franchises?) about a year or so back, it's nice to see that it wasn't just talk and some of it's started materializing. It'll contribute to making Ukraine less reliant on variable foreign assistance and logistics issues.

Well they had a bunch of tank plants that got bombed, so it's not like it's without issue to have them in Ukraine either.

https://x.com/officejjsmart/status/1801166133032001773 I realize that you often get some sort of bounceback after precipitous falls like this, often enough to erase most of the actual fall, but this still seems pretty bad. No wonder they closed withdrawals to try and staunch the bleeding.
