The 77th Infrantry Division would be the counterpoint to “older conscripts are harder to train and can’t keep up”.

There’s oil there, Alaska isn’t going anywhere.

And yet in this case if I change my agent to any non-FF value while using FF, videos load immediately.

I set my agent back to FF, 5 second delay.

Using zone minder with reolink cameras. I’ve been happy with it so far.

Alaska has entered the chat

What he said. When the Patriot system started killing Khinzels, it was hit by debris. Russian trolls on the internet immediately claimed a “dead Patriot” for what turned out to be like an hours work when they realized the system was behaving oddly…

That being said, if they really did kill an S400, I guess that means it wasn’t an S400 that allegedly shot down a HIMARS rocket the other day.

Don’t think that value includes “items in the ship” (like aircraft) as part of the weight. This article seems to lay out what some of the differences are. Seems to boil down to “not evey Navy counts every canoe that they own”.

I suppose a few trillion dollars per year will do that though

Yep, American Un-Healthcare at its finest 😁

Depends on how you count “size”. US Navy is 4th in ship count, 1st in tonnage at 3.5m tons.

Russia is second at 800,000 tons

China is third at 700,000 tons

Japan is fourth at 400,000 tons

Please show me where any country is “shitting themselves over Russia” after the master stroke in self destruction Russia has displayed in Ukraine?

How did they justify this statement? A press release from Putin.

Effectively, yes.

The consortium just linked to the original story from Indian Punchline (the author’s personal blog) where the author quoted the statement from a TASS article.

It’s not hard hitting, factual news. It’s an OpEd piece from a blogger.

If we wrapped Robert Parry’s corpse with copper wire and surrounded his casket with magnets, we could probably power a small city with the electricity from him turning over in his grave at how far Consortium News has fallen in publishing articles like this.

You’re correct, it was the truck

The B52s that started Gulf War came from Louisiana. They flew nonstop to the Middle East then returned to their base in the U.S. 35 hours of flight time with no stopovers…

Guam to Korea is a short stroll.

or Guam.

his company has a long long history of treating employees like shit.

Can confirm, it’s a shitty place to work. They try to cover up the crap with their yearly Tell Dell survey. Basically ask how you feel about the company, then proceed to shit on the local managers if you make any comments negative to corporate management or the “culture” they try to portray.

My local manager and the layer above them are about the only people I have any respect for.

I’m sure they say they are. I’ll still doubt their capability

Not talking artillery here. Talking small arms ammo. I’m pretty sure Russia doesnt come close to producing 2m artillery rounds per year. Saw an article the other day about them running out of artillary barrels. If they couldn’t manufacture enough barrels to keep up with shooting, I doubt their general manufacturing capacity.

Outside of that, that’s two million non-NATO small arms rounds being donated by the private sector. Pretty sure the government would send M4s and SAWs with 5.56.

You have to wonder if Putin’s ass is jealous of the shit his mouth spews.

Two million rounds of 7.62x39, as of last year, from ammo manufacturers
not sure how much of it was in this latest US military donation

Russians and their fan-bois need to chest beat over whatever they can find at this point.

7% of just the one type… Not of all tanks. That being said, I get where you’re coming from. 14 Challengers, 31 Abrams… Guess it’s going to boil down to if the countries can/will replace the losses.
