Can I get a rundown of which events?
Footage came out of a Ukr Stryker trying to literally run down Rus infantry in an open field because they ran out of ammo, presumably for the RWS. Supposedly there was a crewman hanging out one of the hatches shooting at them too.
They were not only trying to run them down - three video showed that the driver downed two ruzzkis, literally.
We really should just give UKR whatever they want. I think they would be able to take Moscow.
How do you end up in an open field under fire, and in a situation where a vehicle can just run you over?
There's a lot of weirdness to go around in this conflict. One of the weird aspects I noticed is that a lot of the combat footage that is made public nowadays is of these relatively close-range, small-scale brawls out in the sticks. Never more than a dozen people on either side, never more than 1-2 armored vehicles. It kind of flies in the face of modern combined arms doctrine that the US enjoys.
Released combat footage is a very small lens into this admittedly, but it seems like that's how the war is being fought now. Handfuls of troops operating almost independently, bounding between wooded thickets, gaining and losing meters, and slugging it out with the other side doing the same thing along the way.
I guess that's a response to the size of the front lines, and how many people each side has to man them.
I suspect you'd see something much more like US style battle where Ukraine is actually gaining ground.
No, but I could give you a run-over
Not again
They hit them with the good old Detroit style hit and run.
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
