There’s nothing stopping them from hosting a massive instance. But people aren’t forced to move there to interact with them.

This is just perfect levels of trolling after Vance accused him of not being grateful

I’m pretty sure the 50% of all mineral revenue wasn’t Zelensky. That’s an outrageous figure that’s going to be cancelled as soon as possible.

I’m sorry Ukraine. This is crazy.

I’m pretty sure it’s the Ukrainians who will decide.

Trump has clearly decided that Ukraine will either be Russian or be Russian.

With an extra layer added for more shrapnel. Which is dumb. Fragmentation grenades already have a shrapnel section that’s very effective.

The Ukrainians have an awesome habit of putting ERA on vehicles given to them “good as is”, to the horror of the Western military industrial complex.

The short explanation is they’re needed for the defense of the countries they’re in. The long explanation is several pages of why.

This missile has 40 degrees off bore tracking and can take information from the vehicle it’s mounted on. Basically that helicopter never had a chance.

There’s plenty of angle though something like 40 degrees, this isn’t like a video game. It can also take a designated target from the pilot, in this case the drone controller.

It’s not that kind of thing. You set the fuse with a wrench when you get the fire mission call. As low tech as could be in the field. The FO sends the call in and either requests a fuse or describes the target and lets the battery decide the fuse. Infantry in the open is always airburst and there are videos of that being used, most recently against the North Korean troops who actually did try to just lay down to avoid it.

Entrenched infantry uses ground burst or air burst depending on what effect you want. You can destroy mines and fortifications or try to catch infantry in the open top areas with airburst. Vehicles are likewise ground detonation because you’re trying to track or marry a 155 shell to the top of a vehicle.

This all without discussing proximity fuses that go off at waist height. Their purpose is to use over pressure and an impact sheaf to kill everyone in a 30-300 meter by 20-100 meter rectangle.

And again this is set with a wrench right before you load the round, so no adjusting fire or anything is necessary.

If you have a post world war 2 fuze then you have an airburst setting.

Infantry in the open calls for airburst. There’s not going to be a shell hole. Laying down in a barrage is only good as an immediate reaction, if you have overhead cover, or if you absolutely cannot leave your position.The second reaction is to call the rallies and hope the rounds drift the other way.

Probably just whoever the drone decides to go after. If I was a drone operator I wouldn’t go after the guy exuding pick me energy, he’s probably their worst and dumbest private.

Artillery rarely hits the same spot twice…

Lmao. You/Me REPEAT last fire mission, over.

Staying in the same spot just means the Forward Observers have time to get your death on video.

Historically that hasn’t gone well.

And at what point do you hand a city over? If the Ukrainians lose the ground around it, are you going to try and do an enclave? Or does it get handed over? What’s the actual goal? Protecting civilians or protecting Ukraine? Because militarily cities are fantastic defensive ground, requiring years to fully occupy if they’re properly contested. So you’d also be taking away some great defensive terrain.

That’s pretty ridiculous unless we’re including GPS in that definition.

That would require American planes or soldiers in places they aren’t supposed to be. This isn’t something they can do from international airspace.

New Amsterdam? I do believe that will piss off the maximum number of people. I like it.
