Until you end up with 37 boxes stacked on top of each other... what was I looking for?

All of this could be simplified by a study of why a D-Handle Shovel is better than any kind of E-tool.

Why always give the credit to Ukraine? The whole of Russian version of OSHA is manned by Veterans, Widows, and some children of the Great Patriotic War. All five of them.

The bottom line is that if you can't put a weapon in mud, sand, or a sewer, then pull it out, clear the barrel and fire... it's actually not for use on the battlefield.

the low end of lethality which leads to one truism that if a target is worth pulling the trigger on once, it's worth a second round. To that end I have preferred the 7.62 as a rifle round. The US move to the 6.68 is a compromise of weight against range which is a tradeoff.

of ranges and facilities that must be used frequently. No kind of computer or laser tag simulation will substitute firing individual and crew served weapons. I have issues with the 5.56mm Barbie round. The object of firing a weapon is not to scare, injure, it is to kill. The Barbie round is

This could be a LOT more concise and to the point. Belaboring the failure of the SA80 in DS/DS because of over design to specific ammo standards rings closer to German close tolerance design of the Panther and other tanks. The lack of infantry marksmanship (along with other specialties) is not a

How can you tell Russian suicide squads from regular squads?

So this is just to make parallel parking easier? I have not doubt there is a SGM that will love that to make his motor pool look pristine.

Ehhh No. They will not fight to the last Russian. The Russian Oligarchy and Kommentur will not let then sons and daughter die for Putin. Now if you want to talk about what ever Ethnic Minority in Russia, yes they will. Along with North Koreans and other foreign fighters.

That's just the start.

That will take days to untangle. Something like that will cascade through the whole nation.

Oh for bloody hells sake. All livestock near a military unit in a war in Europe have been at danger of confiscation and consumption since organized armies started to move about the country side. It's a tragedy for the farmer.
