Pretty sure it is. I find myself way more focused on the tail gun, I wasn't aware the tail gunner job was still a thing.

It's probably remotely controlled. Even a B-29 eighty years ago had a computer between the gunner and the guns.

BFD. They named Hitler in 1938. It's not an award for your favorite person, it's based on what the magazine describes as who they believed had a stronger influence on history and who represented either the year or the century the most.

Everyone has a plan to flee just in case.
Biden, Germany, France, Zelensky.
All power of all time have always and will always have a plan to flee if needed.

The article says "when Russia implodes". Not if, but when. So I ask of the article, go ahead and tell us since you claim to know. Exactly when? Month, date, time, etc?

Ready to flee vs plan in place is a lot different. We have a plan in place to get the president to a bunker somewhere incase of an attack on DC, but that doesn't mean we expect to use it any time soon.
 
Well, it's been a little bit. Has Ukraine made any ground into Crimea or beyond the river at kherson since "pushing out" the Russian army who were retreating for the winter?

For some reason the Ukrainians have decided that a Ford Raptor is the vehicle of choice for technical vehicle operations. Toyota is not going to be happy with this development.


I'm at a loss for words on this one. The Ukrainians are driving a Ford Raptor onto the battlefield and using it as a platform to fire unguided rockets towards Russian positions.


Toyota is never going to financially recover from this development, and Overlanders are probably about to blow a gasket down in the comments section.

Hilux tops out at what? 60?

Raptor at 110 or something.

The real trick will be to see how many raptors are still alive and kicking 15 years from now.

I said the same thing to the buddy that sent me that link, Where is that raptor going to be after 20 years of being abused by smelly dirt farming conscripts?

Arming a half ass race truck with unguided rockets seems like a waste, a real man would be doing 70mph DShK strafing runs on the front line. :homer:

Then again it's a video from Ukraine so one must assume "fake and gay":lmao:

If I had a blank check from the American MIC I'd probably be blasting around in decked out Raptors with machine guns and rocket launchers and shit too. I mean, that sounds fucking awesome. Now shuddup and get to work, we gotta pay for all this shit.
 
Read this one, for added Mercs as White Hats in the field.

Read ALL of it, before you get triggered. The comments are worth reading too.


Notorious Wagner Group targeting volunteers in Ukraine, U.S. trainer says



Excerpt:

'Horrible and Miserable' Bakhmut​

Winter has turned an already inhospitable environment into a nightmare, Milburn said. "These people are stuck without food, water, heat; every single window of every single building without exaggeration is shattered. It's just hard to believe."

"Bakhmut is like Dresden, and the countryside looks like Passchendaele," he said, referring to the German city destroyed by allied bombing in World War II and the infamously muddy and bloody World War I battlefield. "It's just a horrible and miserable place."

Ukraine closely guards its casualty figures, but its forces are believed to be suffering badly around Bakhmut.

"They've been taking extraordinarily high casualties," Milburn said of the units training with Mozart. "The numbers you are reading in the media about 70 percent and above casualties being routine are not exaggerated."

Despite their "tremendous morale," Milburn said the defenders "have an acute 'regeneration problem,' which means getting new recruits into the line as quickly as possible." This means those being thrown into the fight have little beyond basic training.

"Typically about 80 percent of our intake who are coming off of the line have never even fired a weapon before," Milburn said. "We've got our work cut out for us."

Beyond the immediate dangers, a lack of funds is a pressing concern, according to Milburn. "I'm terrified we're going to run out of steam early in the new year," he explained, noting that sourcing, repairing, and replacing damaged vehicles is the biggest expense.
