And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
And this is why the Bradley is equipped with a very high-velocity 25mm gun firing has a fin-stabilized depleted uranium round, which was found to be quite effective against Russian-built armor.
The meatsuit that gets about 10 seconds hangtime at the end is what's left of the commander, after a launch through the turret hatch at several hundred fps. The gunner is flopped in the street dead as well.
The story on "Ukronazis" is a myth. Putin has Nazis in his inner circle, and is allied with many in the Donbas. Saker, who seems to have coined the word, is an uninformed idiot who worships the ground Putin walks on but won't live in Russia because its too dangerous for him.
Well that explains all the turrets going turtle on the ground.
ReplyDeleteExactly what I had wondered.
DeleteBut, I don't recall seeing that in the Iraqi war when we were picking them off at will.
DeleteLots of pictures of those, especially from the First Gulf War.

DeleteSurly the Russians saw some advantage in their design.
ReplyDeleteThe only flaw is failing to see russia will end up with the best part of a balkanized ukraine.
ReplyDeleteThat is not shaping up to be the outcome. The Russian Army is dying in Ukraine.
DeleteI think the advantage is that the autoloader design means only lose 3 crewmen....
ReplyDeleteWashington Post! Your go to source for accurate reporting!!
ReplyDeleteZero debate points for ignoring 5000 instances of exactly this happening, since ever.
DeleteWell, it is a 50+ year old design, after all. Maybe that's just the best they could think of back then.
ReplyDeleteIf I remember right, when the autoloader came out, it had a bad habit of occasionally grabbing the gunner.

Sorry, still rootin’ for Putin. I know, I know, just can’t get behind the Ukronazis….plus it makes the left seethe…
ReplyDeleteYep. CNN, Hillary, Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Trudeau, and a bunch of other scumbag globalists hate him. Kinda makes you wonder.
