Sound suicidal and apparently very effective at its job

I love how in the thumbnail of the video there’s what seems to be tracers that look like cyan glowing mushroom floating to the sky

Why the fuck was it abondenend? Looks like it is in perfectly working order. Only think I can think of is the periscopes and cameras being damaged

Well no. The cost of defence is not actually what pricetag the system is you use to shoot something done. It is what you are defending and an oil refinery is probably in the hundreds of millions, literally a high-profile target

I hate myself for not being able to suppress my smile. It just looks so cartoony

Well they will be charged with a plenitude of offenses. I can think of at least 4. My bet is that they will be traded for some high-profile prisoners incarcerated in Russia or a fugitive living in Russia, like Masalek for example

Of course, but they are costly and you know how long procurement takes.

This is already being taken from the reserves. Germany needs to have 10 Patriot systems to fulfill Nato obligations. This is unit number 10.

Drei (mutmaßlich) Deutsche streiten auf Englisch online darüber, ob Deutschland genug tut. Aber eigentlich sind sich alle einig, dass dies nicht der Fall ist, genau mein Humor.

Well yeah, but Soviet designs tended to be outdated by year 10 of being issued. Also Western Equipment got modernised constantly.

Fuck, that really isn’t for the faint of heart

Very kind of her to bring the flower seeds to Ukraine, thats gonna leave a few nice flowers.

Also the Black Sea, while massive for Army-standards is fairly small for Navy standards. There isn’t really much space to operate without danger of being attacked by land-based systems. Especially when there’s the chance that US-drones keep surveillance of the entire area and relay that info to Ukraine

That’s what got me. Like she was paid to act sneakily when adding the “votes”, but it wasn’t specified how to be sneaky - or she wasn’t paid to not be caught. I mean, one should assume that you can’t be that stupid to not realise that the camera cannot be fooled by you crouching in on your knees. Well to be fair, at this point Russians being stupid should not surprise me anymore

“Educated” And then Russian and their supporters act suprised when we call them Fascists

Dafuq kind of Mad-Max-style vehicles are that even? And is there a KV-1 among them?

Legit thought this was a dumpster truck for a minute

No one expects Russia to accept any foreign rulings. However as the Nuremberg trials proved, acceptance can be enforced by the stronger party. And in the likely case this doesn’t happen, the court ruling can mean a lot less foreign diplomacy leeway for the US government when it comes to dealing with Russia. Also a US ruling would extend to every country that has extradition treaties with the US. So anyone proven guilty would effectively be a fugitive in a third and the most powerful and influential third of the world. Look at what the international criminal courts ruling already caused. Putin didn’t attend the meeting of the BRICS+ countries in South-Africa. The same would go for Brazil who also accept den-Haag.

Even if the leadership of a country would like for any proven criminal to appear in their country and would like the justice department to not move, in any and every democratic country, they couldn’t without causing a major breach of constitution.

Anyhow, trials like these must, without fault, be spotless examples of correct rulings, for there to be any resemblance of unpolitical justice

Key-point here being “if”, because Russia would never try their own soldiers. Apart from desertion of course, though I believe they’d rather execute those.
