Not a political statement, but what does everyone think about all of the illegals that are now here and the US being in the new war? Word is we don't even know who's here

I figure that's for us to handle on our own. I think if or when the border jumpers were to organize & become armed plenty of old phucers like myself & our veterans will take pleasure in ridding America of this scourge. At the same time it could very well result in the end of the Devilcrap party. I have the feeling their personal security details & the government stooges might just wake the phuc up.

With Ukraine’s monthslong southern counteroffensive making slow progress, Russia last week launched a large-scale assault of its own with a narrower aim: the small eastern city of Avdiivka.

By most accounts, it didn’t go well.
Ukraine’s military said it destroyed dozens of Russian tanks and other armored vehicles and killed hundreds of Russian troops while losing little territory. Video released by Ukrainian officials showed the damage, with artillery and bomblets dropped from drones crashing into one Russian vehicle after another, leaving them smoking on the road.

Hopefully we gave them the longer range model and are telling the press it is the shorter range. Might catch the Russians placing their assets just outside the shorter range but within the longer range.

Reminds me of what happened during the first Gulf War. The Iraqi fighters quickly learned not to engage US fighters. But they would take off and head for the border causing US fighters to scramble. The Iraqi's would turn back just outside of AMRAAM range and run for home.

Air Force got tired of this. Navy sent an F14 armed with Phoenix missiles to accompany the AF fighters. Phoenix had 10 times the range of an AMRAAM. Sure enough, Iraqi fighter heads to the border, turns around just outside of AMRAAM range. Tomcat lights off a Phoenix. Iraqi fighter laughs, knowing the range is too long and the missile will go ballistic and fall off. But at the point it should go ballistic and fall to earth it keeps coming And keeps coming... Must have been a very puzzled and scared Iraqi pilot. He reached back and pulled the handles before his plane was blown from the sky.

So, it seems Russia is doing so well in the war and winning so many victories, they're having to recruit in Serbia to replenish their ranks. Of course, this is against Serbian law, and a couple dozen of these recruits have been arrested. It's also creating diplomatic tension between Russia and Serbia, and could push yet another country closer to the West.

Faced by shortages of troops for the war in Ukraine, Russia is recruiting Serbian fighters, with apparent aims to field a full battalion.

It is designed to pierce a 10-mm armor plate from a distance of 1.5 km with a single bullet.”

"Low recoil"???? That ain't much of a butt pad. Although, guaranteed to ruin someone's day. Everyone hang on.....I gotta work a month, I'll be back with one round.

Saw one of the 1918 german tank rifles in the KC WWI museum. 13MM with a long barrel. 2 man crew just to shoot it!

Good things continue to happen.

Also saw a post discussing a maritime drone bridge attack in Crimea, but not seeing it elsewhere yet.

That's a crew served weapon. And by the time it was fielded it was no longer useful as armor was upgraded making it obsolete.
