  1. As suspected the invasion is failing hard (it's a bloody shambles to be frank), and meanwhile the Russian economy is falling off a cliff and the anti war sentiment of the average Russian (but also the Oligarchs) is growing by the day. It's becoming more and more obvious that the days of the little madman war criminal are numbered, and it's all by his own doing. Slava Ukraini! And a prayer of hope that one day the Russian people will be free of corrupt dictatorships, and become part of the free west.
  2. Yeah I could tell, you're the cool kids Supporters of Wagner Group too then I guess. Classy.
  3. No'one is claiming the western world and its governments are all perfect. But the people who are trying convince others that they're no better than the criminal states & dictatorships in the east, middle east and asia, they're simply not in touch with reality - not to mention utterly oblivious to the privileges they enjoy if they themselves live in the west. There's simply no excuse for invading a democratic country where people are living a free life, which was very much not the case in Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan. That the US pulled out of Afghanistan like they did, I was also disgusted by, now the women there are once again living an imprisoned life with no rights.
  4. NATO imperialist expansion?? Sure, if you consider trying to spread democracy, freedom of press & speech, and protect people from criminal states imperialistic. I think you're forgetting NATO is a defense pact, created precisely in response to piranha states like the one Putin is ruling with an iron fist. Hence little Putin's reckless actions are only incentivizing MORE states to join NATO, such as Sweden & Finland = The exact thing the little maniac claims he wants to avoid, and has already threatened nuclear war over.
  5. About time. The little mad man in the east needs to go, and any supplies that will help make the war in Ukraine untennable for his forces and the general Russian public is the first step in that direction.
  6. No, it's sad how you guys clearly are swallowing up Putin's propoganda and lies of "denazification" (esp. when he's the one actively hiring Nazis to fight for him. Read: WAGNER GROUP), and are justifying the invasion of a democratic state and the murder of innocents, and for what? So you can create a new puppet state? Thank god the western world is looking at Russia with disgust. Even more sad, if you as a Russian suddenly become wiser and realize how wrong this war is, and then decide you want to demonstrate against it, you'll be arrested (and likely physically mistreated). That's the price you pay for living in a dictatorship where there is no freedom of press or speech. Only thing I can think of which beats this is when a few (thankfully very few) people living in the west, enjoying all the freedom that comes with that, out of sheer ignorance start supporting this war. That is truly mindblowing.
  7. You're so goddamn far off the mark is astonishing. Tell me, when did Ukraine, a democratic country, attack another country with chemical weapons? When did they commit crimes against humanity? When did they become a country controlled by terrorist groups? Things Iraq, Syria & Afghanistan were seperately guilty off. Exactly what is it you consider an acceptable form of government type? Do you wish for people to be systematically oppressed by their government? Dictatorships & terrorist states are a thing all nations should strive to erradicate, not leave to grow and potentially spill over into other countries via aggressive actions.
  8. I can't believe the people on this forum right now... sad sight.
  9. I'm coping just fine, we'll see how well the Russian people will cope as their economy heads to the dumpster.... But it IS sad to see the Russian people letting a maniac dictator run their beautiful country into the ground, my feelings go out to all oppressed Russians who in horror have to watch as their country is forced by Putin to assault their own kin.
  10. There's a clear cut difference between bringing down dictatorships and terrorist states, versus invading a democratic country. But I guess your forum emblem explains it all. The Cold War is over, the genocidal Soviet Union fell, trying to bring it back is the definition of insanity and backwards thinking.
  11. Hopefully Russias invasion bogs down, becomes extremely costly, and the troops slowly realize invading and waging an aggressive war against an indepedent nation in the 21st century is absolutely insane.
  12. Sounds like an ammunition compatibility issue. As SH_MM mentioned the PzH trialed was an older type. Not sure why KMW didn't offer a newer version for the trials.
  13. Well TIPS is SDCB based according to RhM, so not sure I follow? Is there any documentation which describes exactly what the difference between DM63 and DM63A1 is?
  14. Well I did find this: Seems to say that DM63 has the same performance as the max of the DM53? The possible 80 m/s increase in MV is also interesting, and makes you wonder wether this is what has been achieved with the DM63A1.
  15. If the penetrator is modified to take advantage of it, yes. But the original premise was that the penetrator remained the same, and that it was only the propellant that was "hotter". Anyway that the tanker might have been alluding to performance with the L55A1 was just a theory, one which you obviously don't agree with. Fair enough. It certainly seems like it: This difference in finish makes me wonder wether a new alloy could've been introduced from the DM63 onward to maintain performance similar to the DM53 at common european summer temperatures. The statement "Same high performance as DM53" could suggest this. Either that, or like I said earlier it's simply done so they're distinguishable without having to read the fine print on the SABOT. Not claiming either to be true, I am simply wondering since I find this sudden change perculiar.
