State of the badass art! You do not wanna fuck with me. Hey Putin! Check it out! Independently targeting particle beam phalanx. Vwap! Fry half a city with this puppy. We got tactical smart missiles, phased plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, we got sonic electronic ball breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks...
Watch out, AFU! Yuri's got guns for the golf carts now.
China's charging Putin 2.1million rubles ($24k) a pop for the non base models of these things. Just smacks of surviveability, no? Imagine being one of the poor bastards riding in one for an assault, then running into a Bradley. *womp womp* Frag goes through those like shit through a goose too, what a shit show
I see you are man of culture as well.
Screw frags, a single .50 round will shut that thing down right quick. There's zero protection from small arms, may as well just be a motorcycle.Watch out, AFU! Yuri's got guns for the golf carts now.

Well depends how it is used; as long as it stays behind the lines of combat and is used to shoot down drone it isn't horrible; of course if it gets anywhere near the line of combat it'll last 5 seconds. My guess is it is suppose to be used way in the back field against drone but the soldiers not being well trained will drive it to the front line to be obliterated.Watch out, AFU!

From a brief search it seems the Germans only fielded heavy MGs (MG 131) in aircraft...the MG 42 likely would've lit these up but doubt they would've knocked them down unless they hit radiator or something?I wonder if the engines were protected at all. As @[DHT]Osiris points out, a .50. cal round into the engine block would likely knock them out of operation.
It's always been entirely obvious that this war had nothing to do with NATO expansion, Russia just depends on useful idiots to echo its propaganda.I though this opinion piece was pretty clear-sighted: https://www.politico.eu/article/vla...trump-uk-kremlin-moscow-ukraine-independence/
Key points: "NATO expansion" is volontary, the three Baltic states border Russia and have been a part of NATO for a while now, Finland just joined NATO and Russia proceeded to empty that border of military personnel, so clearly Putin doesn't feel threatened by "NATO expansion", he just does not want to lose control of Ukraine. But it's bad when Western leaders echo the Moscow line, even though many can hear the distortions for some it sticks like "The vaccine against the measles causes autism"
