Hahah. How has your rhetoric changed? From "How dare you doubt the steadfastness of American support" to "I don't know, go underground"🤣
Hahaha

This is a common excuse. We all know very well that industry located outside of Ukraine is currently simply invulnerable to Russian attacks. While any industrial enterprise on the territory of Ukraine will not last even a few months after its location is known to the Russians. The assertion that the United States will build industrial infrastructure on Ukrainian territory is nonsense. What kind of finances will they use to do this?

I never thought that I would admire the coherence and coordination of the actions of North Korea and Russia, but it seems that time has come. While opponents are paralyzed by internal problems and conflicts, it’s time to try to change the situation in their favor, and for some reason it seems to me that they will succeed.

I wonder how long it takes to build an "industrial base" that can produce +100 Tanks or so a month, like the russian can. On top of countless IFVs, SAM, EW, Engeneering and transportation. That doesnt get bombed by russia the second its finished. With the current 0$ budget.

A new blockade of Ukraine, despite the fact that the Polish government agreed to the demands of the protesters. This is very similar to the blockade of Ukrainian aid in the US House of Representatives. As soon as the government agrees to previous demands, new demands will be put forward and the blockade will continue

This is true. The new technology is much less demanding on the user's skills. Listen to the stories of Ukrainian mechanics and drivers of Leopard tanks or Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. They all unanimously claim that this equipment is much easier to control than their Soviet counterparts (I’m sure that F-16 pilots will say the same when comparing them with the MiG-29). However, modern technology is much more difficult to maintain and requires qualified personnel.

In fact, our journalists have already reviewed similar comics on the operation of HMMWV, M113, M2 Bradley. Similar manuals are already freely available online in Ukrainian. However, the problem is most likely in the qualified repair of Western equipment, and not in its maintenance.

This is pretty much correct, except that it’s a tad insulting to the “Grease Monkies,” and there is a more nuanced difference. I can’t speak to Army or AirForce manuals and maintene “levels,” but in Navy/Marine Corps Aviation, we had “Flightline,” Internediate,” and “Depot” level maintenance. The basic mechanical training for all levels was done in the same training school classes. When you finished your training, you were assigned to either a Squadron (Flightline), a Headquarters & Maintenance Facility (HAMS) Facility, or a Naval Air Rework Facility (NARF), you would receive some additional training for each, but you wouldn’t receive “a bigger hammer!” It all depended on the tooling available to you. In fact, the NARF  was considered to be equivalent to the original Factory that built the engine or the airframe. When I was writing procedures for the engines on the F/A- 18A/B, we wrote for Line, Intermediate, and Depot Manuals in the same office and frequently moved from one team to another depending on need. Our most driving factor was the Navy requirement that the procedures be written at a reading comprehensive level of 9th grade or lower (for folks not familiar with U.S. education, High School, our secondary school, started at 10th grade). That was in 1985 though and might be down to 6th grade by now. In fact, the Army at that time sent out Line Maintenance instructions for armor and helicopter turbine engines in comic book form.

The S-300 missile has a warhead of 142 kg of explosives. The missile has an acceleration speed of up to 2000 m/s, which makes it a hypersonic weapon + its ballistic flight path makes it a very difficult target to intercept

Those guys can do wonders. I was driving once near Ternopil (IIRC) with a very old and badly kept UAZ and the car started shaking. I stopped and sent off my mates for help. Turned out the easiest thing in the world - literally the nearest building to the road was the local kolkhoz tractor shed, where the local Mykola guy quickly identified the problem (it was the Cardan shaft coming loose),fixed it and fixed our other problem with the gearbox for good measure. incredible work. Besides, at that time Hryvnia stood very low and what we paid for that incredible service looked like nothing in Polish money. I am full of respect to them.

I don't care about my authority on this forum. It is much more important that the participants of this forum are not captive of their own echo chamber about the “bad” residents of Crimea and the Donetsk regions and the “good” residents of the rest of Ukraine. After Russian troops occupy a territory, FSB units arrive at that territory and identify the most anti-Russian residents of the area based on their activities on the Internet. After which torture, persecution and execution of such persons begin. The rest of the residents are well aware of the cruelty of the Russians and do not dare to oppose them. This is how it was in Donetsk, this is how it was in Kherson, this is how it will be in other European cities after the fall of Ukraine

Happy New Year everyone. Looks like there were festive fireworks in Donetsk on New Year's Eve

Anyway, after some time, the company commander appeared and announced "Snake get ready, you're going to evacuate." At that moment, I was naked from the waist, grabbed the rifle and jumped out after the commander into the yard. Of course, I did not know that "buses" no longer go to the village.
From the moment I arrived for dressing after the injury, about five hours had passed at that moment. For most of this time, I directly directed the battle based on my knowledge of the terrain and people. I am sure that I am not unique in this regard, but I have not yet met more such fools in the National Guard.
It was snowing lightly. A drone lit up overhead and a tank started shooting at us. Positioned across the street behind the house, a detachment of the 1st platoon, which came as reinforcements with the company commander, was sitting there. The battalion was completely involved in this meat grinder. I leaned against the wall and began to just howl from the cold. I asked for foil from the company commander's first aid kit. He didn't find it. Ryzyk, the squad commander, began to look in his first-aid kit - it was also empty. At the same time, a tank was constantly shooting at us. Running around, he found a foil from one of the fighters, in which I happily wrapped myself.
The company commander began to tell how to go to the evacuation: "You will go to the river. You will go over her. There will be a cemetery, you go further. There you will see a bridge. You pass There, across the field, there will be an evacuee waiting at the landing.”
I don't even speak anymore, I nod and start to leave. Passing by the cemetery, I meet Horko, who was leading another squad. He asks "-How is it here? "- bloody hell. I left, I don't have the strength to talk anymore. Sorry." In the background there was a crescendo of battle sounds. The battle raged around the entire perimeter of the village. I thought about going across the river a couple of times, but the ice didn't seem reliable, and I could see water in some places. The temperature rose abnormally after the frost.
When I reached the bridge, I almost screamed. It was two rails on which one board was lying, and the handrail was broken and it was impossible to lean on it. Stepping slowly, gathering with each step, I will be late on this wonderful trail. Somewhere in the middle, the rifle pulled me to the river, and there was a desire to just let it go, but in my head flashed either fall with the weapon, or get out.
Catching my balance in the middle of this bridge, I went on. The field was flat as a pancake and covered with snow. There was no sign of where to go, so I just walked at random, hoping that it was a bunch of trees and the ****ing line of trees that the company told me about.

When I arrived at the evacuation point, of course no one was waiting for me there. I was already tired of wondering at that moment, so after climbing into the ditch, I wrapped myself tighter in the foil and sat down, staring into the void. After some time, the Nine armored personnel carrier arrived, stopping two hundred meters away, and the fighters immediately began to fall out. Realizing that it's not my evak mobile,
i staggered towards the armored personnel carrier, trying to somehow wave my hand, because I no longer had the strength to shout anything. These were additional soldiers of the 9th company, compared to the company commander, he asked how I was, I just shook my head and climbed into the armored personnel carrier. The armored personnel carrier roared and flew away. The gunner carefully took the rifle from me, proving that I would not be allowed in the hospital with a weapon.
I grimaced at every bump, but in the middle, a puppy's joy was growing. LIVE. I ****ED OUT ALIVE. The armored personnel carrier flew to Vasylkivka and I fell out near the medical post. The driver-mechanic ran up to me and with a joyful cry "Snake, I'm so glad you're alive." He slapped me on the shot shoulder blade. Moaning dully and not responding, I went to the medical center at his apology. My participation in the battle for Soledar ended there.
