They should try the Blazing Saddles/Potemkin town trick, trick them into a town and blow the shit out of it.

god damn. not all days memes are equal but today

And hopefully they'll never start winning.

Keep it up Vlad u dumb fuck. Redcoats coming back to Crimea is a distinct possibility. EDDIE WILL FUCK YOU UP.
AbdulMasaiev
Ehhhhhh. Spoilers spoilers but Invincible was a good guy while Ultraman was an extreme villain, so I don't know about this one.

Bunch of Russian soldiers who are taken down were given fake battle armor, stuffed with cardboard instead of ballistic plates.
peridotstar
Its late, so I misread that as soldiers being stuffed with cardboard. Maybe its time for bed lol
Lamech777
Their tanks "reactive armor" is fucking egg cartons
freshthrowaway1138
Someday I want to try those 4 barrel night vision goggles.
Technotoad64
how do they even work?
freshthrowaway1138
Couldn't say, I'm guessing screens for depth perception. I'm old and the cyclops version lacked any of that.
genericanamoly
VR-ish maybe. The oculus has cameras that see everything outside. Switch that concept to night vision cameras maybe.
genericanamoly
Two "screens" put together to form one picture type stuff I'm guessing.
JensenAngska
right now they are still taking ground in the dombass, they are 8kmfrom the main south supply road and less then 6km from the north road
JensenAngska
got pushed back near kherhon but thats the only ukrainian succesfull psuh
JensenAngska
the ukrainian army is starting to have all AT weapons used so they need some more fast if they re going to hold
swedeonamoose
after Crimea youd think they would have built up a large stockpile of stuff like that
JensenAngska
they did but its not a 100% hit chance, plus they got old stocks so some dont work, France is giving the oldest stock of AT missiles

For a second I thought this was Imperial Guard

Citizen, unlike the Russian Federation, the Imperium Of Man issues guardsmen with everything they need to fight the enemies of the //
JustAnotherVictimOfAmbientMorality
Imperium: 1 M36 Lasgun, 1 charge pack, 1 standard-issue flak vest. Please report at Templum Sigma-7 for penitential servitorization.
ExtremeAndViolentButtFun
That's less equipment than a fucking penal trooper.
JustAnotherVictimOfAmbientMorality
Sorry, I forgot the Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer!
ButcherofBakersfield
unless ukraine can start pushing back the eastern front this is some clown shoe shit. retake mariupol and we'll talk.
IvorJBiggun
It’s a war of attrition now and Russia just has more manpower. Can’t replace experienced troops with conscripts without losing effectiveness
dontrike
They have pushed back in many areas, what are you talking about?
ButcherofBakersfield
Im talking about mariupol. the place still under siege with the guys trapped in the steel mill catacombs. retake the area. Free those people
spaceisnotthathard
The place that’s been killing fuck tons of Russians for over a month? Like just massacring conscripts by the thousands?
ButcherofBakersfield
yes that place. the place UKRAINE DOES NOT CONTROL. the place where thousands of people are trapped in a steel mill basement. that place.
spaceisnotthathard
Tell that to the btr-4s still turning Russian orcs into paste.
kingbudo101
The russians don't do night operations because they dont have enough night vision. Thats standard equipment since the 90s world wide
Shoujo
I've seen quite a few russian combat footage of ambushes using nightvision. I really hope this isnt a belief among ua-troops as well. <3UA
kingbudo101
They have a very limited number and based on photo evidence, its basic night vision stuff anyone can buy off Amazon
Skumbo
probably because they stopped getting new things after the 90's started hehe
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
There have been booms of soviet NVGs from time to time that was pretty cheap on the internet. Someone got paid for that.
GreyShot254
Have you seen some of the special forces raids Russia has post? Shit scary
DarkSock
Janky ass military
Asadsadsadclown
They have also been getting their shit rocked by Ukrainian insurgents in occupied areas because of this.
NKato
...we wanna call 'em "insurgents"? The occupied areas are barely governable in the first place.
Asadsadsadclown
Sorry sorry, insurgents are what we call brown people. These are resistance fighters. It’s the same thing. They are knifing Russians in the
Asadsadsadclown
Night to the point that Russians are losing control of certain regions. If Russians stop doing night patrols as a result, The Ukrainians
Asadsadsadclown
Will likely start using The night to set up IEDs. The entire civilian population wants them out to the point that they had community
ReginaKasteen
They can borrow some from this fellow, he has four!
makeSX
The russians had IR equipment rigth after the second world war (gen 0 and gen 1 stuff), from what they learned from the germans. They just->
makeSX
Didnt keep up with the developement and more crusially with manufacturing... I have a couple of IR head sets from a T55 tank myself.
bsmithwins
How do you think they paid for all those yachts? Military modernization $, that’s how.
HieronymousFlex
Yep, that's literally what happened. The corrupt officers got the guy in charge of the modernization program, Serdyukov, fired.
KingFTW1
This is simply untrue and genuinely dangerous misinformation. Go to r/combatfootage. Shows plenty of russians with both night and thermal.
kingbudo101
Incorrect. While yes some elite teams do have Night vision and themals. they are the exception. Those teams are also likely to film
kingbudo101
Themselves for propaganda purposes giving the allusion that equipment is more wide spread than it is. We know for a fact that it isnt wide
kingbudo101
Spread as practically all Russian operations end at sun down.
thedarkcanuck
I can go down to any hunting store and pick up a little night vision sight for what, a couple hundred bucks?
astrangehop
I think a decent refresh rate is necessary and that's money
bluerazzgummy
Is that like saying I can trudge through trenches easy because my local store has 20 dollar shoes?
AntiProtonBoy
Here’s the thing. The hunting store is not located in Russia.
SgtKashim
Those cheapies all use active IR, which is pretty much useless in war context if your opp also has nvg. Might as well be a flashlight.
NKato
Exactly. That's the biggest difference. However, the civilian tech used to be cutting-edge military back in the day until it became -
NKato
- knowledge by adversary nations that early U.S. NVG's used IR lights that were not visible to human eyes.
ZachariasWolfe
A couple hundred bucks? That's a lot of night hunting. Hope you use all the meat
BobbyVegana
that's what she said
Jetfuelcanmeltme
Civilian NVG and Military NVG are two different things.
swedeonamoose
Ye, my civilian one wasnt made by the lowest bidder.
BlueGummy
And is most likely newer and better/higher rez. (Not a complete dig against army procurement though, takes time to validate new gear)
magister333350
They dont even have proper optics on most of their rifles. Armor being found without hard plates. And a few Russian prisoners were found +
Carl99
Worst of it is they do in fact have some really modern and capable stuff, they just seem to have far less of it than anyone expected.
magister333350
with magazines made by freaking PROMAG. Like... I'm just waiting for someone to get found using tapco crap.
HieronymousFlex
Even the optics they do have are garbage, they're heavy and Russian glass is terrible. All their military technology is decades behind.
Bystandr
With the reported graft/theft and slip shod construction or outright contracting embezzlement, Im not surprised.
DinoRodeo
They should eat more carrots

No… let the Russians wear eyeglasses!

Is it? It was my understanding that USA was for a long time "the" country to have that widespread and integrated to their tactics (and thus>

Nope. Miley Cyrus owns the night.

ThisIsAWasteOfMyTime
individual Russian soldiers aren't poorly equipped, just wondering about the "night vision has been standard everywhere since the 90s" part
Contundo
You guys have only fought 3rd world countries. Germany and rest of Europe do have night capability too.
SomeDetroitGuy
So, all of the US's allies.
letmesetthisstraight
Yeah for like their 10K strong armies, Kinda different
HypersonicHero
Iraq was hardly third world in first or second Gulf war. As an armored force they vastly outnumbered any single European power
RufusPimperton
It was, literally, the definition of a third world country in the First Gulf War.
SassySailor
We obliterated their armored force almost immediately
