Ka-50 and Ka-52 look very similar to each other (having twin-rotors). Ka-50 has been in production since the 1980's. Both Russia and Ukraine have them.

Eric Holder says

The weird-looking structure on top of the turret is supposedly there to defeat Javelin ATM.

Exactly what I was thinking: the breathless media promotion of the Javelin Missile would just induce the enemies in future conflicts to add a metal pagola/basket on top of their tanks to trigger the warhead's melted metal stream before it reaches the real tank roof. Raytheon might make a new version with three-stage warheads, and the opponents will make two-tier pagola/basket on top of reactive armor top. As the stages increase, the flight characteristics and the portability of the Javelin will be affected.

That shit doesn't work against Javs. It's there to calm the crew's nerves. But now they know its worth.

Buncha guys driving an ancient Ural bike with an old mortar. This proves Russian is being beaten back and taking massive casualties.

"We stopped the Russians cold outside Kherson"
24 hours later: "The evil Russians have taken Kherson and set fire to the nuclear plant"

As far as I know Ukraine doesn't have any Ka-s. What's your source?

Javelin has a tandem pair of shaped charges as the war head precisely because metal grid/mesh works at setting off those shaped charge: that's why there has to be a stage-2 (sitting in tandem behind the stage-1 part) to reach the actual tank after stage-1 is triggered by the metal grid/mesh. The counter-measure to a two-sage shaped charge is two layers of metal grid/mesh each spaced outside the tank. Then Raytheon would have to make a 3-stage warhead . . . hence see my comment above regarding flight characteristics and portability limit as stages increase.

I know the theory but there is plenty of evidence on the ground already. The stupid bedframe thingy does not protect tanks from being destroyed or disabled.

Yeah, one video in which nobody died. What about the rest? Fake? What about that Kharkiv footage socal2 just posted above? Hollywood footage?

They have those on theepochtimes they show the war very accurately. Fox looks like war propaganda with cardboard gun guys.

I didn't realize we had so many correspondents for the NATO propaganda networks on patnet. You guys would great Covidians.

Except I never was a "covidian". But you're welcome to back up you accusations with links and quotes.

And what's with all the protestations: I though you liked getting info from multiple sources. Suddenly something not jiving with the RT picture makes you uncomfortable?

Relax: it's just CGI. IRL the mighty Russki army is greeted with flowers and copious amount of vodka and pussy.

I understand that propaganda didn't fit your narrative, but this propaganda does, so you just right in without question. Pfizer might not flow through your veins, but NATO certainly does.

Yes, I have my own ideas about right and wrong. They don't align with yours and Putins? Tough cookies, you'll have to live with it.

The conversation they are having is priceless, between him asserting that he didn't know he's bombing the city and them (oh so gently) pointing out that it's reflected in the flight plan.

Rumor has it they were both alive when they landed but his slimmer partner decided to shoot one of the two peasants who were greeting him as a liberator and was killed with a shovel by the other.

Teacheable moment wrt 2A. All peasants must have rifles.

This is the takeaway. Javelins wouldn't be so bad, either, since in the Early Republic canon ownership was allowed. This is NOT sarcastic.

Oddly enough, in parts of the US where handguns are tightly controlled, one is allowed to own weapons like a Javelin and a cannon. Obviously not practical.

A bit spendy, yes. Like $200K for the tube and $80K per shot iirc.
