    Done, all conflicts solved forever.

    The health problems of the General Secretary were announced (although downscaled, of course) but naturally everyone knew. The jokes about the geriatric state of the CPSU were numerous.

    For something like a Mosin, that's how you do it. The magazine is empty during the march and you only load a clip in immediately before battle.
  4. EnsignExpendable
    Yes.

    The AKS-74U is designed for people that aren't going to be shooting anything unless shit has seriously hit the fan, so the need to fire quickly without aiming is important. As for the safety, you disable the safety by moving it down with your right thumb, one click for full auto, two clicks for semi (so panicking conscripts don't waste their entire mag without hitting anything). The click will betray you if you are trying to sneak up on someone, so it is possible to slightly lift the safety lever up from the frame while moving it. In this case there won't be a click. The weapon is carried in several ways. In a situation where the ceasefire is temporary, you have a round chambered and safety on. You you may replace your magazine if it's not full. If the ceasefire is permanent (ie. exercises are over) you unload the rifle and carry it with an empty magazine and safety on.

    Wait, that's a crime? Man, think of the GD posters we can sue!

    I'll describe the figures on the pages you specified, the paragraphs that refer to them are on other pages. I substitute "rifle" for "assault rifle" because I am lazy, and a "grenadier" is a guy that carries an RPG, which the manual calls "grenade launcher" and not a "rocket launcher" like you're probably used to. 70: 51. When moving out to exercises and on march, the rifle is carried on its sling in the "by the sling", "behind the back", and "on the chest" positions (fig. 42). The sling must be adjusted so that the rifle does not knock on hard parts of the kit. The rifle is carried with a magazine inserted and the stock folded. The rest of the magazines are in the pouch. During breaks between exercises and at rest stops, the rifle is held by the rifleman "by the sling" or in his hands, and by a grenadier "on the chest" (fig. 43). 100-101: 99. To take aim while standing, you must: If the rifle is in the "by the sling" position: half-turn to the right relative to your target, and move your left foot about shoulder width apart, as convenient for the rifleman, spreading your weight between both legs. At the same time, moving your right hand up the sling, take the rifle off your shoulder, grasp it with your left hand by the hand guard, open the stock with your right hand, grip the pistol grip, and energetically raise the muzzle towards the target. If the rifle is in the "on the chest" position: take the hand guard with your left hand, and move it slightly up and forward. Take your right hand from underneath the sling, and throw the sling over your head. At the same time, make a half-turn to the right... (same as in part 1). (fig. 50). When a grenadier takes aim while standing, his rifle is, as a rule, "by the sling" (fig. 51). When the grenadier takes aim with his grenade launcher while standing, the rifle is moved to the "behind the back" position (fig. 52), for which the grenadier takes his grenade launcher with his left hand, takes the carbine and ring of the sling with his right hand, and moves the rifle to his back, after which he prepares for firing the grenade launcher. 100. When taking aim with your rifle "on the chest", it is allowed to keep the sling around your neck and use it to brace your rifle (fig. 53).

    https://s3.amazonaws.com/manual_of_arms/%D0%90%D0%9A%D0%A174%D0%A3.pdf What do you mean present? If you mean how to carry it, that's page 36 (in the pdf, not the manual). If you mean how to shoot from it, that's on page 51, fig. 51 and fig. 53.

    The conflict in the Ukraine has been tough on the Russian Army, they are forced to send T-34-85s to fight.
  10. EnsignExpendable
    Due to budget cutbacks, Ukrainian armour is no longer all that mechanized.
  11. EnsignExpendable
    Because they are akin to dumb teenagers rebelling against mommy and daddy and trying to be cool and edgy. Back in the 80s you did it with blue jeans, chewing gum, and "The Police" cassettes, because enough veterans were still alive for even dumb teenagers to realize what a horror the nazis were.
  12. EnsignExpendable
    The Ukrainians are already down two Saxons from poor driving.

    Obligatory Soviet Army response: the praporshik was blindly stumbling around at night.

    Tanks Encyclopedia strikes again! This was supposed to say ЧАПАЕВ (Chapayev), but it mysteriously morphed into ЧАИАЕБ (tea fucker).

    AMX-13 prototype trials at Aberdeen

    I'm guessing that it only goes back and forth in the video because it will throw a track at the slightest turn. Tighten the tracks or put in support rollers or something, come on guys.
  17. EnsignExpendable
    Sometimes one requires mechanical assistance to perform an adequate facepalm.

    I tried showing my friends Elusive Avengers. It's a children's movie, but since the villains are actually competent and not moustache twirlingly evil (except the main bad guy, but he's a fucker) and have some character besides "bad guy, wants to kill good guy", it was received poorly. Even more poorly received: STALKER, four hours of walking about and dialog where it turns out the real evil was the human condition. I guess it would be especially disappointing to fans of the games, since it shares little with them but the title. I didn't even try Solaris, where the antagonist is an ocean.
  19. EnsignExpendable
    Aren't they though? The only enemy characters you see for longer than a few seconds are the guy that drills a small child to death and the enemy sniper that shoots God Fearing Red White and Blue Blooded Americans in the back while they work. I mean ok, the vet that shot American Sniper was a bit shifty, but the ending was completely out of left field. It's like the director thought "damn, we need to end this movie, quick, shoot the guy" and didn't have enough time to develop any good reason why. I mean okay, American Sniper is kind of a dick to his plastic baby and dog, but he's a good honest corn raised hard workin' American like them Duke boys that get into trouble but are ultimately fine young lads.

    Is not need to poke in side, upon very sight of glorious Soviet armour cowardly heart of fascist dog bursts, crew dies of fear, many vehicles captured functional enough to drive to scrap heap.
  21. EnsignExpendable
    American Sniper is a pretty recent movie that's terrible. The only conflict comes from all the characters being really bad at their jobs, and even general whatshisface that shows up later that lets American Sniper (I can't be bothered to remember any of the characters' names) hunt The Bad Guy becomes Stereotypical Buzzkill Suit in the ~30 seconds of screentime he has. Also the ending sucks. I know it's based on a true story, but come on. Liven it up a little. If you're going to shoot an unapologetic propaganda movie, at least try to make it exciting.
  22. EnsignExpendable
    Which post?

    Anyone in the market for most of a Tiger? http://www.milweb.net/webvert/76378
  24. EnsignExpendable
    Someone already made a video that sums up the gist of it.
  25. EnsignExpendable
    No no, it was the Sherman commander that survived to tell this harrowing tale.
