and falsely imply that they are being
antisemitic
No, in the majority of cases this is not a false implication but a documented fact. And even if they are not antisemites themselves those people are always happy to stand side-by-side with antisemites if those amplify their messaging, but out of the completely wrong reasons.
Talking about ‘Gotland’ and a ‘maritime shadow war’ might provide some clues to what might happen to Russian ships trying to attack that island. *cough*
Just the the usual Russian posturing bullshit…
Unless we don’t want a 2 state solution.
More importantly Isreal as well as the PA reject the idea of a 2 state solution.
Nice… media that openly cheered for Hamas attacks is telling lies again and like the good little sheep most are nowadays people blindly believe it in rant about imaginary German nazis. The brain-rot induced by social media combined with a complete lack of media literacy gets more impressive every day.
Did nobody there propose Madagascar as the destination for “voluntary migration” of Gaza inhabitants yet?
Even more when you add the ones failing to even take off…
Surprising no? But still sad as they are -again and again- too stupid to lash out at the actual reason and are easily manipulated to target someone else. And that’s usually either low income classes or foreigners, not coincidently because those are lacking a lobby.
You can do both, work on the problem and talk about the question where it originated to keep something similar from happening in the future…
Actually STANAG says yes. And it’s not a new thing either. “Klicks” (=kilometers) are used for distances for more than a century.
Oh, are you telling one of your favorite propaganda lies again?
In reality Germany -a small country with just ~16% of the US’ GDP- is providing 40% of the US’ support just in military aid (also more than the next 5 countries combined), and about three times as much measured by share of GDP in total.
Yet still after nearly two years the lie that Ukraine’s by far biggest supporters are actually NoT DoInG aNyThInG bUt ThE bArE mInImUm is still Russia’s top export.
Thanks, I probably know more about these tanks than you, if second hand media reports are your source.
Doesn’t change the facts. Leopard-1s cannot be considered MBTs by modern standards. They are mobile guns at best but given their fire control actually really good at that job.
But on the other hand no modern MBT is actually immune to being immobilized by a mine and then destroyed by artillery fire either.
Yet that’s exactly that this article is about: How Ukrainians “added reactive armor to Leopard-1s really in need of extra armor just in time…”… to then describe exactly the “immobilized and shot by artillery”-scenario that is now allegedly solved by reactive armor. Spoiler: No, this solves nothing, that’s coping. No amount of extra armor will make Leopard-1 into modern battle tanks. Use them in a supportive role as a precise gun on range (and as it’s rifled it is actually more capable in regards to long range precision than modern smooth-bore cannons). Believing otherwise will just get you killed.
Can we stop the bullshit narratives? Yes, those are light vehicles compared to modern MBTs. No, them being at risk when immobilized by a mine and then coming under artillery fire is not an issue of Leopard-1s. Neither is getting hit by ATGMs.
That’s the reality of every tank and vehicle in a war zone. And not one some smart Ukrainians will fix with their ingenious engineering skills. That’s just another bullshit fairy tale of how Ukrainians can improve crap the West delivered them. And I don’t understand their need to push such narratives constantly.
Yes. They approved military aid before. But the president veto’d it. So it went back to the parliament who again approved none-the-less, overriding the veto.
They indeed wrote “on the construction of Fuchs armored transport vehicles - named after the German word for fox - and Lynx infantry fighting vehicles by early next year” which of course isn’t wrong but might help to confuse.
When you love the “fuck” joke so much you purely accidently forget the s in your headline…
Nope… that’s a translation mistake. Or rather a mistake of translating Fuchs to Fox in the text implying Lynx is also a translation…
It’s not. They are talking about Rheinmetall’s KF41 Lynx. Their modern IFV (with a lot of elements from the Puma minus the Bundeswehr specific stuff - basically the closest thing to an Puma export model), which Hungary ordered ~200 of iirc (produced domestically) and which the US is also evaluating right now as one of the last contestents in one of their IFV tenders.

Interesting question here:
This is obviously worthless against radar detection or thermal vision, but useful against low tech visual shooting (that probably has a very low share of successful interception anyway).
So what’s the actual prevalence in night vision tech? Does (usually digitally based nowadays) low-light amplification make up a big enough share that this is not just another coping mechanism?
Pointing out that this idiocy only works with a massive amount of cognitive dissonance is nothing new…
