In hindsight, was he right? Did the M113s save Ukraine, and will the wheeltarded/woketarded decision to send Stryker doom them?

Is this autism?
As someone who's been diagnosed with aspergers before I can say, Sparky is 100% classic aspergers. Its really obvious.
No, he’s schizo. Paints neat little models though.
What the frick does wheeltarded even mean? Can you autists please stop making up random compound words? They make you sound like the med-deprived schizos that you are.
It’s Sparky. He’s pretty schizo.
Is that a coherent sentence?
wheeltard detected spike strips deployed
(the actual answer is that the turboautist responsible for that abhorrent post is Mike Sparks, he and his friends are not fans of wheeled vehicles, his page is a late 90s web 1.0 acid trip)
You’re forgetting his James Bond fan fiction. He’s obsessed with James Bond too.
He is one of the most schizo people on internet.
>Actual good takes on LMG tripods
Broken clock is right twice a day. He was also right about red dot sights before those became the norm. Other than that, he has gone completely off the deep end QAnon style and rambles on about pedo-illuminati.
He still makes videos and spams videos made by others on his b***hute channel.

What the frick
It is evolving.
would a m113 make a good lunar or martian rover?
No, even if you turned it electric. I can say this pretty confidently as space autist with some aerospace education of far more terrestial kind. You'd probably want something more robust than Apollo Lunar Rover, but anything resembling armored vehicle would be overkill, tracks would be problematic as frick on Moon. Roughly square superstructure would be problem for pressurization of it. 6 or 8 wheel chassis with cylindrical hull on top of it would likely be ideal multi-day lunar rover with pressurized crew space. It might be even articulated 6+6 wheel chassis or something. 6x6 would be kinda off term here as naturally each wheel would have its own electric motor.
Tracks on Moon would be massive problem due to friction and possible static electricity generation. Moon dust particles are not subject to much erosion. There is no fluids, no air, no water to cause that, there is water ice on some of deepest craters on lunar poles. Even worse, less gravity make those dust particles to rub each others edges. Tangentially /k/ related, moon dust apparently smells like burnt gunpowder, that is the smell of lunar lander after EVA and command module on way back to earth. While most astronauts haven't talked about the smells, but Apollo landing missions on way back home smelt like farts, sweat and burnt gunpowder. Moon dust particles are in reality really really tiny glass knives. You know, the current Moon program suits will have electro-magnetic field to keep Moon dust away critical parts. There were lot of things people didn't know during Apollo Program, shit learned with post Apollo unmanned landers. If we go with lost tech memes. If we would have all Apollo hardware in production now, even in slightly modernized form, no one in their right mind would approve use of any of that due to safety reasons. At minimum suits would have to be heavily revised.
On Mars M113 might do bit better. I'd still go with lots of independently driven wheels for reliability.
Now we're talking
give me the QRD on M113A9 Astro Gavins
Why do morons call them Gavins?
Sparks is obsessed with paradropping M113s and demands it be named after General James Gavin, who was also obsessed with jumping out of planes
I dearly wish US army would officially designated some wheeled apc or mrap as Gavin.
If you think the brave men and women of the US Armed Forces are "morons", then you may want to reevaluate your life.
you forgot the non binary folx you fricking nazi
Taking the bait here I guess but most of these people aren't actually in the armed forces, and the few that are are not exactly four star generals.
Mike Sparks was an Army Reserve lieutenant for all of 8 years over a decade ago. His “1st Tactical Studies Group (Airborne)” is entirely his own invention.
I wonder what happened to Sparky. Did he get injured or exposed to something and it made him lose it?
From what I understand he was always a weirdo. You don’t exactly need to be a supergenious to be an LT in the reserves. Bear in mind he’s pretty old, graduating college in 1989. Conspiracy theories and military bullshit were a lot harder to debunk back then. There were less of them, sure, but they stuck around and could really work their way into you. Even functioning adults back then might buy into stupid shit like those chain letters promising great wealth if you forwarded them on (or great misfortune if you didn’t); they didn’t die out until the 90s.
There’s a different between falling for a Nigerian prince scam and believing that the Nazis are in the hollow earth and are using UFOs to harass the USA.
Obviously the hollow earth are where the kaiju are, duh.
Leaded gasoline was only banned for new vehicles in 1975 (and removed from gas pumps in 1996). Poor bastard was having lead pumped into his brain from birth until he arrived at college. Hell of a handicap.
Wasn't everyone?
>I wonder what happened to Sparky.
He enlisted into 'muhreen crop reserves. Then those morons made him officer once he got college degree.
schizoposting this bad belongs on /misc/
Sparky is /k/ oldest lolcow you fricking ukrainian shill.
Sorry, this is a gun subchan. Take your shitty harassment campaigns elsewhere.
Take your meds Mike
I think tracks can hold more weight than tyres can, so the tracked battle bus can have thick skin that wheeled trucks can't have
>Tyres
Shut up
Been looking to see the aero gavin in action for a long time
Me too.
Other than Mariupol there haven't been any encirclements.
Tracks are legitimately superior to wheels though, especially in the current conflict.
Till they get shot off.
At least wheeled vehicles can end up limping away from a track destroying hit.
you can tell he's conflicted
he wants Russia to be a competent military because muh anti-woke but on the other hand gavins
What the frick is this abhorrent display of newhomosexualry.
How is Sparky not dead from late-stage dementia yet? He's been posting shit like this since the 90s.
>he hasn't taken the aerogavin pill

>writes a literal novel length essay about how women caused 9/11
I love this guy
I can't recall but is Sparks part of Spreys rugged and simple no computers allowed club or is he a planet of moronic all to himself?
Separate groups. Similar slogans though. But Sparks at least endorses things like guided missiles (when mounted to the AeroGavin of course)
