Russian losses for the past 48 hours. Why is the T-62 becoming so prominent for them?

About 2/3 of ground equipment in service before war + reserves gone.
At the current pace, Russia will no longer be able to perform mechanized offensive operations by end of this year. Probably not able to perform any decent defense same time next year.
Of course, we might start just seeing (more of) North Korean and Chinese vehicles...

The SAA did run out of tanks Russia had to give Syria parts for thousands of tanks and APcs as well as vehicles and open a Russian run workshop. It is probably hurting Russia right now.

>Yes. Russia is in direct conflict with NATO, but NATO is not in direct conflict with Russia.
>>61557413
>This is the best way of putting it. The average Russian thinks they're in some existential war with NATO and their whole life has changed, the average NATO citizen's life hasn't changed at all and they probably don't even think about Russia on a daily basis.
Yeah, this says it exactly. Russia is undeniably and objectively on the war economy treadmill at this point, even if it's not technically quite WW2 or whatever yet they're spending a lot and demanding major sacrifices from the population (I mean, more then the usual for that shithole), even putting aside dealing with some genuinely pretty heavy duty sanctions. And while it's not massive yet, Ukraine starting to actually hit real stuff inside Russia is also having some effect. Russia is fullbore on the anti-NATO thing straight down to brainwashing children and having them draw and celebrate war gore and war crimes.

Agree with other anons though: the asymmetry is pretty wild in America. It's not a total nothingburger issue, I'd say Americans at least around here certainly know more about Ukraine now then Americans know about most foreign countries on the planet, and many maybe even most could point to it on a map, again unlike like most foreign countries on the planet. Granted, this isn't exactly the highest bar, but it has gotten some real attention and unlike the last pile of shitty wars the feelings aren't all negative, Ukraine is likeable and admirable which is a refreshing feeling Americans haven't gotten to experience much of since WW2. Still, it barely figures in every day life vs a million other things. Nobody thinks about Russia itself very much beyond general dislike, not as any sort of actual threat just as shitty assholes. Basically the same way we feel about rando middle east or african authoritarian shitholes.

A very good question
my hunch is that they mistook the french having 4 embarked air groups for 4 carriers
the only other option would be them counting Mistrals as carriers but those are naval assault ships and the french have 5 of them so then they'd have to list 6 carriers

Do take note my friends, these pensioners received humanitarian aid from the West in the 90s and their children were allowed into western societies, let Russia rot this time, expel back into that hellhole anyone talking for Putin, block them from western goods and markets and once they finally succumb to their own contradictions let them destriy each other.

Rice only grows in certain parts of the country. In other parts (particularly the north with a colder climate) you see more noodles or bread as the staple food since wheat, millet, barley, etc. grow better.

Whats the criteria for doing helicopter dunker training? Say if you are a supply reservist then they don’t do it cuz its more of a high-speed mos thing right?
>>
>>61556168
>Whats the criteria for doing helicopter dunker training?
The helo dunker is unit and MOS dependent. In my unit, it's a deployment requirement or everyone and we have to do it once every two years. You get a little card certifying you've done it. I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think a supply reservist will ever have to do it unless he deploys.

Will any mercenary groups accept oldfags? I'm 41 years old and by every metric, I've "made it" but I am finding it to be...unfulfilling. Call it a mid life crisis, the last chance to slake a lifelong thirst for adventure, the need to conquer an obstacle for the joy of the struggle, or a homeric wish for a beautiful death. Whatever.
I'm in outstanding physical shape, athletic, and excellent shooter, but I have no military training.
Will any PMC give me a second look?
Where do I go to get training, and will I need to lie about my age? Nobody has ever guessed my age fwiw, they all say early 30's.
Serious question, not a passing fancy.

Reloading of RGB-60 naval rocket/depth charges to be fired from RBU-6000 anti-submarine launcher, that is installed on T-80 tank chassis, using commonly available tools: hammer to break TNT into small pieces and a wood log to squeeze/press the pieces together. And also use RDX from TM62 mine to top it up.
