     apparently 5937 Russian soldiers lives and not to mention 3500 missiles on target of not much value.

     

    Honestly, I have more and more sympathy for Stalin.

    Since you still seem to belive that your russian comrades over there in Ukraine are fighting like a bunch of 40k Spacemarines and only ~6000 have fallen against ukrainian human waves:

    Make ~6020 out of it. I assume it's futile to try to convince you that this is not an isolated case and you will stay with your 4 digits number.

    Our leadership decided to distance from ethic angle, thats why you hear those strange "de-whatever" constructs. Russian world or other nationalist-related ideas where speicificallly avoided because going hard on them may lead into direction of Ukrainification of Russia.

    Might be a wise decission with all the Republics and the dwindling number of autonomous Okrugs ethnic minorities might not be so pleased by russo-ethnic agendas.
    But yet! I don't understand why exactly they don't care about makeing a posse out of their narrative by sending nazis to de-nazi a neighbouring country. Is this a intended discrepancy and meant to ridicule every international opposition or do they just din't give a fuck because th own population won't see it anyways as long as they stick to the state media?

    I'm not even going to post photos of Ukrainian guys larping as Nazis, if you're too lazy to find that shit yourself, I don't really care to talk to you anyway.

    Well the confusing part starts when guys like Dimitri Utkin and Yan Petrovsky are tasked with the denazification of UA or when military Leaders of the DPR are walking around with Nazi patches on their uniform.
    Sticking with "protecting ethnic Russians" like mentioned some posts before might've been a solid idea.

    Russian tank completely unsupported in Mariupol gets hit twice presumably by a TB-2. One crew escapes in bad shape.

    It even got hit three times.
    First hit pulled the track,
    Second @0:33 on the turretroof above TC and went through, gunner's smashs open for a moment and you can see the flames/flash.
    Third hit @ 0:43.It's not the same from an other perspective because gunner and drivers hatch are already opened (while both went heads down again after opening it. Furthermore it's a bigger boom than the ones before and somewhere in the back of the tank. Last hint ist the bloody mess which appears out of the smoke on the right lane.

    With the last explosion @ 0:59 which was a close call for the disembarked driver and the first which missed the tank we have 5 explosions and a single TB-2 has only 4 hardpoints as far as I know. Time between the hit's is hard to guess because of the cuts, but a TB-2 at operational altitude is limited by 9,81m/s² with MAM-L/C.
    So maybe a TB-2 was part of this but probably not alone.

    Based on the official budget discussions in the German parliament, it is believed that (some) tanks protected by third generation explosive reactive armor (i.e. Relikt) cannot be successfully defeated (at combat ranges) with the DM63 APFSDS. The parliament ordered that development and qualification of the 120 mm KE2020Neo round is to be finished in 2021 and a contract should be awarded "as soon as possible".

    Be careful with this and also the post in the Stug III thread. These are the recommendations from the Budget Committee and yet nothing set in stone.
    At the end of the day only what's written in the final financial budget counts and for these things to happen. All these things were already discussed in November 
    ,even if the document was only released yesterday. So these were the proposals which were taken into the "Bereinigungsausschuss" and were not accepted. Sadly.
    These are the actual additions to the first budget version: https://augengeradeaus.net/2020/11/verteidigungshaushalt-2021-120-mio-mehr-jetzt-4693-milliarden-euro/

      
    
 

  25. Active Protection System (APS) for tanks

    Yes, since no contract for the order has been signed yet.

    I can also imagine that existing systems will be retrofitted because a large part of the improvements were made on the software side.

    “In addition, MUSS 2.0 will be even smaller and lighter than before” sounds like retrofitting is no practical problem. But it also sounds like the hardware is changed what in  turn means it won't be as cheap as
    a software update. 41Pumas for VJTF for over 400m € shows how fast "small technical things" get expensive. I still don't get it got so expensive and how much of it are R&D costs which benefit the rest of the fleet, too :wacko:.
