Like that Texit moron who mentioned “warm water ports” as a strength of Texas.

I feel like this meta would significantly increase your chances of landing a Nazi or a future mass shooter…

In technical terms it is a tank.

We are refusing to call it a tank I assume because of some organizational/order of battle reason. Its not a tank, its an infantry fire support weapon or whatever the fuck.

To me the Madsen LMG is the funniest thing to see used down there.

I mean, barring the immense cost, a hospital ship capable of launching an entourage of aircraft for medevac or search and rescue would be invaluable to global humanitarian efforts I would think. Particularly after earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.

Says something about us where we can justify that expense for war but not helping people.

More of a rotorcraft man myself.

There’s a lot of weirdness to go around in this conflict. One of the weird aspects I noticed is that a lot of the combat footage that is made public nowadays is of these relatively close-range, small-scale brawls out in the sticks. Never more than a dozen people on either side, never more than 1-2 armored vehicles. It kind of flies in the face of modern combined arms doctrine that the US enjoys.

Released combat footage is a very small lens into this admittedly, but it seems like that’s how the war is being fought now. Handfuls of troops operating almost independently, bounding between wooded thickets, gaining and losing meters, and slugging it out with the other side doing the same thing along the way.

Footage came out of a Ukr Stryker trying to literally run down Rus infantry in an open field because they ran out of ammo, presumably for the RWS. Supposedly there was a crewman hanging out one of the hatches shooting at them too.
