Russo-Ukrainian War - 2022 Edition - Part 8

Would be way faster than an hour.

Takes a couple minutes to get to 190 feet and since you don't need to decompress it only takes about 6 minutes to get to the surface again.

So more like 15 minutes total under water for 5 minutes at depth.

You could stay down for 20 minutes, then you'd need 35 minutes for the ascent and that would still put you in the 1 hour window.

Time needed to find the pipe and plant the explosives at an accessible place in the hypothermic temperatures, bad visibility and swift currents of the Baltic within the 5 -6 minutes bottom time?

While Ukrops die in Bakhmut by the hundreds every day, you're making fun of a country getting arms from other countries that will be used to kill even more Ukrops.

Why no mention of Russian casualties? Aren't there any or are you omitting information to bolster your argument?

 

[Cosmik Debris]

Weird. I don't see Russia fielding old men or teenagers though like Ukraine.

Not necessary when you can empty your prisons and mental hospitals for cannon fodder.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

It literally hasn't even started. How do we know? Because Ukraine even thinks so lmao
Why do you think Ukraine has been keeping their tanks back for a month now.

Wait you didn't think Ukraine was being super amazingly good at using their tanks, did you...

You mean using Russia's tanks?

It's calculated that "over half of Ukraine's currently fielded tank fleet may be captured vehicles from the Russians." Above, a local resident rides past an abandoned Russian tank marked Z in ...

Half of Ukraine's tank fleet made up of captured Russian equipment: U.K.

The British Ministry of Defense said that Ukraine has captured at least 440 Russian main battle tanks.

What nobody is considering is that the Baltic is very cold, has swift current, bad visibility and bad weather.

And referencing the outlier diver that did his deep dive in perfect conditions after months of preparation does not mean anybody can do it.

Valid points which I glossed over but I would put the divers doing this in the same boat as the lone infantry man defending his foxhole against an IFV, the mission is more important and the risks are acceptable.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

I made a mistake. I didn't take into account all of NATO sending equipment lmao

Oops.

It's only arriving a year after you made that statement. Except for some artillery and HIMARS of which the Russians destroyed twice many before they even arrived.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

Hmmm seems like it's still a dick measuring contest here rather than people actually discussing the war.

Are you weighing in?

 

[Cosmik Debris]

Every time I try to talk about actual strategy and tactics, all I get is memes.

Why even bother.

The thread is literally just a dumping ground for Ukrop simps to post tweets to make themselves feel better.

Putting people on ignore is gay. Just laugh at him. Meme on him. Dunk on him.

This was you in post #101 of this thread?

Cadre deployment: Only 6 of the 76 engineers at Free State municipalities are registered

True, we both know who would be occupying that position if it wasn't for BEE. Yes. The best qualified person, not the one with most AA browny points.

Russia still being in control of the areas that have Ukraine's gas and mineral reserves, is still pretty significant. You know, the reason that the EU wants Ukraine.

Not the reason Russia invaded Ukraine?

 

[Cosmik Debris]

Lord help anyone who mentions Ukraine should make peace.

Why? The moment Russia withdraws their forces, there will be peace. Russia invaded Ukraine, not the other way around.

Well in that case I will do you one better and take multiple hits for the team. Ukraine is f-d long term and will disintegrate as soon as the war stops and foreign aid dries up.... they NEED Russia to lose and pay reperations to stay afloat but even that probably wont be enough to stave off civil war.

Same thing I said a year ago.

What developments did you see from a year ago?

 

[Cosmik Debris]

The ones that the EU court blocked the EU from issuing because it's against international law to seize assets of a country and then use the proceeds of those assets to fund the enemy of those assets' country without also paying the owner of those assets...?

Those ones?

Second army of the world really out with the begging bowl. China, North Korea and Iran all need to supply the mighty russia stronk.

So, Iran is fighting Ukraine to the last Russian?

 

[Cosmik Debris]

Yeah of course not "anybody" can do it. You need to be an experienced highly specialised diver.

Fixed

I don't not post a link by itself, I posted media which has a title and thumbnail both of which summarise what the video is about.

A title is not a summary. You are required to post a summary. And post the length of the video and timestamps that are relevant. I don't have the time to watch an entire video to find out its rubbish. I can skim-read. I can't skim-watch.

Nord Stream report is an attempt to ‘divert attention’, says Kremlin​

The Kremlin says reports on the Nord Stream pipeline attacks are a coordinated effort to divert attention.
“Obviously, the authors of the attack want to divert attention. Obviously, this is a coordinated stuffing in the media,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the state RIA news agency.
“How can American officials assume anything without an investigation?”
Peskov also said that Nord Stream shareholder countries should insist on an urgent, transparent investigation.
“We are still not allowed in the investigation. Only a few days ago we received notes about this from the Danes and Swedes,” Peskov said.
“This is not just strange. It smells like a monstrous crime.”

Valid points which I glossed over but I would put the divers doing this in the same boat as the lone infantry man defending his foxhole against an IFV, the mission is more important and the risks are acceptable.

And the outcomes of both scenarios are likely the same.

EU foreign policy chief suggests bloc spend 1 billion euros on ammunition​

Time needed to find the pipe and plant the explosives at an accessible place in the hypothermic temperatures, bad visibility and swift currents of the Baltic within the 5 -6 minutes bottom time?

I literally just said (in the post that you just replied to) that you could stay down for 20 minutes and still be back on the boat within an hour of getting in the water.

Why on earth would you make an elaborate plan to plant explosives 190 feet deep in the ocean but then restrict yourself to doing it in 5 minutes?

Time needed to find the pipe and plant the explosives at an accessible place in the hypothermic temperatures, bad visibility and swift currents of the Baltic within the 5 -6 minutes bottom time?

It's called a wet-suit, navigation equipment and planning. You drop down up-stream and let the current take you to the pipeline after you've reached the bottom. You use hooks and rope to anchor yourself to the seabed. This would be a fairly basic operation.
