WHO report on Ukraine health emergency sparks US, Russia row​

The United States and Russia faced off over a World Health Organization report on the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, with Moscow saying it was politically motivated and Washington calling for it to be swiftly updated.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus’s report was presented to the organisation’s executive board, on which both Russia and the US sit.
It covered events in the first nine months of 2022 and classed the situation in Ukraine, as one of eight acute global health emergencies.
The report documented more than 14,000 civilian casualties, with 17.7 million people in need of humanitarian assistance and 7.5 million Ukrainian refugees displaced across Europe.
Of 471 attacks with heavy weapons on healthcare facilities globally, 448 occurred in Ukraine, the WHO report said.
Russia’s representative to the WHO board called it politicised and one-sided and described its references to Ukraine as unfounded accusations.
Moscow has denied targeting civilians in Ukraine since it began what it calls a special military operation, which has also devastated Ukraine’s cities, killed thousands of combatants and shaken the global economy.

I never said it was a good idea just pointing out that the barrier to kill Russian tanks is getting lower and lower. I would point out the failed rpg video I posted earlier on how close you can get.

The RPG gunner didn't get close to the tank. The tank got close to him. And try hitting a moving tank between the wheels. If the crew is competent, you may be horrified to see the turret and coaxial machine gun turn to point at you as the position of the sound will be known. If it has thermal sights, you're done.

You can hammer on the World of Tank type of analysis on the T-62 but then according to World of Tank rules a T-90M should be impenetrable by an AT4 in the frontal arc but we do have a video of that happening. Nothings stops the the fact that on paper you can kill a T-62 by a 50cal with a lucky hit.

You have a better chance of winning the Lotto and playing it isn't as deadly.

Because the Russians are using tanks without infantry support. You won't get near a tank with a 50 cal or RPG if tanks were used like this:

Never said it was a good idea but it is possible and what stops you from firing 50 cal rounds at a MBT as you are running away from it. If you are lucky you can get a mission kill by shattering optics or windows or even a penetration

You're going to run with a 50 cal and fire it after turning around while standing? You probably won't even hit the tank and will fall over after the first shot while trying to dodge the machine gun firing at you. Ever felt the weight of a 50 cal? Why do you think 50 cal sniper teams are inserted, don't break cover and two man? There is no way you run very far with a 50 cal and fire it nogal. Why do you think a 7.62 mag gunner is always a big guy?

Call of Duty, Warthunder and all those games are very different to real life.
