        Pay for itself how?

        Military Industrial Complex is a corrupt system.
        It's not like we're giving Federal loans to other countries to pay for them at high interest rates.
        It's not like we have a 20% excise tax on these arms.

        What actually happens is some banker makes a lot of money, some executives at the arms manufacturers make a lot of money, and the middle class winds up SUBSIDIZING the cost of them from them getting sub-prime federal loans that cost the government money.

        https://i.imgur.com/kwMFdsq.jpg

        is even cuckolding Russia out of selling IFVS/APCs.

        if you want to buy a wheeled IFV, are you really going to buy a fricking BTR-82A?

        i think its obvious a few new BTR-4 orders will be placed after the war is over, plus the Irakis gave good feedback too and there was a modernization plan ready before putin chimped out, pic related, BTR-4MV1

        That looks cool and different than I thought BTR-4 looks. Oh it's a new MV variant. I like it a lot.

        why the frick would you buy that shit at all when you can buy a Mowag Piranha, boxer or Patria? I mean Russian vehicle engines. Do you understand RUSSIAN VECHICLE ENGINES. They don't. Why would you go and by a Lada? Why? This shit os for nations that are so poor that there is very little money in selling to them anyway. in the USSR arms sales and supply was a means of geopolitical control and propping up pro russian dictatorships like assad. Does it make money? Dubious.

        BTR-4 is cheaper and larger than most else.
        afaik it has some of the better survivability for the driver and gunner of all the IFVs due to heavier armor thanks to its size and having the engine separating them from the squad area. It can take A LOT of RPG's to the read 2/3rds of it and still keep fighting in a way that little to no other IFVs can compete. That MV variant looks even better armored at the front.
        It's also amphibious.

        compares it to the Stryker and BTR-82.

      Everybody concerned with aggression from some shithole armed with Vatnig garbage will want to buy them now. Not only has this war tanked Russia's geopolitical value, but it's also effectively demolishing the demand for Russian militech while simultaneously being a huge advertisement for it's western counterpart.

          It was, as a whole, an enormous and catastrophic geopolitical error, as well as a tactical clusterfrick, however I also think it was inevitable. Consider, all that military was drawing resources from a GDP not significantly different from Spain's, Winnie The Flu is looking at his side of the Russian border hungrily while Russia goes increasingly deeper into Wumao debt, and the independent ex-soviet bloc countries were slowly warming to NATO.
          If he didn't attack, Russia would have slowly become geopolitically irrelevant, reduced eventually to a debt slave to China. If he had attacked Ukraine and managed to win, betting on NATO being total pussies, then he might have at least been able to rape Ukraine for resources for a while to prop Russia up a little longer.
          This way at least Russia's geopolitical death will be fast, only five years to a decade, and invading Ukraine was the only slim chance of avoiding it.
          There were other options, however Putin being an egomaniac and moron would never have accepted something like say de-escalation of hostility with NATO, or trying to reduce corruption and graft in his own government.

              Its not really an option in this case. Russia's dictatorship style of governance is propped up entirely on Oil sales in the modern day, just as the Soviets were propped up by raping the hell out of all their member states. Provided that Russia has a major source of state money that doesn't come from its people, it will remain a dictatorship. The political forces in play effectively require it to remain that way. If Russia's people were more economically productive, it could change. But they never will be, because to make them more productive would threaten the current status quo. As for whether Putin could, if he tried he would be replaced by somebody who wouldn't, as the people who keep Putin in power are the same that benefit most from the existing system.

              As for Germany and Japan, neither of them were cursed by natural resources, and both had a strong arm of democracy forced upon them. In both cases, the economic strength of the nation came from the people, and as a result both remain mostly stable democracies.

            its actually pretty insane just how quickly Russia became economically dependent upon China within a few months. They really didn't think they would burn through foreign currency reserves so fast or that sanctions would be so thorough. The same debt strategy China has been using on thirdies will now be used against Russia to regain the "historical borders" in due time.

            I will explain it to you this way. Lithuanian factory had begun producing toilet paper in 1923. First Russian soviet toilet paper factory was 1969. Lithuania was not part of the soviet union. All Marxist Leninist soviet Russian economics can be explained via toilet paper facts and analogies. Being able to purchase toilet paper in Russia after the factory opened in 1969 was considered quite an achievement and people would thread the rolls on string and wear them around their necks on the way back from the store as a status symbol that made others envious. I am not joking. This is was happened.

                Lithuania built its toilet paper factor in 1923. Soviet Russia built its first toilet paper factory in 1969. Lithuania was annexed in August 1940 after Hitler and Stalin became allies under their non aggression pact.

              Nothing will be made in Russia. It has more sanctions on it than North Korea especially ones against its ability to manufacture anything military or dual use. Those sanctions will stay there until Russia has left every cm of Ukrainians clay including Crimea, apologised and handed over war criminals. Sucks to be Russia. They can't make any semi advanced vehicles at all, they can't even buy the basic western made tech for fishing boats. Russia is done as a military equipment exporter. It had been harvesting parts from its tank graveyards for decades like some sort of scrapyard people nation respraying them and selling them to Black folk, pakkis and poos. Whatever parts were left are being used up. They are finished. Done. You really think, what....Russia can mass produce vehicle engine, suspension, electronics....with the sanctions on effecting their ability to buy basically anything they need? You know what they have to pay China in (not that China will sell to them) Euros. Their main sources of Euros was gas sales. They just fricked that up. Russia is so fricked in so many ways. Their days as a weapons exporting country are finished.

                This is true for almost all Russian equipment, in almost any case you'd care to mention the best version of that thing, be it infantry weapon, garment, vehicle, ship, plane, heli, etc will probably have been manufactured somewhere other than Russia proper.
                There were some truly brilliant Russian engineers, but Russian industry has always been garbage basically since it began to exist at all.

                Consider this and only the grotesque stupidity of Putin in Ukraine could have given the world this insight. Russia claims to have 10,000+ APC/IFV in reserve and 10000+ MBTs in reserve. Satellite imagery and reports from Russia show us that these 'reserves' were water and moss/lichen filled hulks that the engines, optics, electronics, maintenance kits, weapons mounts etc had been stripped from. Russia has lost about 2/3rd of the at best 3300 reasonably modern somewhat working tanks it had prior to the invasion. So where are the reserves? Where do you think the engines sold to Russian military clients using e.g. T72 or BMPs came from? Where do you think the chassis for the 'terminators' sold to Algeria came from? Now we see that Russia is rolling resreve tanks with no working run because broken autoloader or no running engine as static emplacements in Ukraine, going back to unsaleable shit like T62s or MT-LB. There is a reason for that. Anything in those graveyards that could be sold has been sold either as military hardware to customers or simply recycled or even sold off to collectors. It is gone but that was also what the real Russian arms export industry was. A scrap yard cargo cult. The Ukraine war has ruined that business, first shit down the western supply chains that let them clean up and modernise some of this shit, secondly forced them to use up whatever was left in a scrapyard frenzy. The sanctions won't be lifted for a decade on military manufacturing in Russia even if the war ends tomorrow. Russia will never be a weapons exporter again. The Ukraine war has made every dictator in the world look at Russian systems like s300/400/tos/t90/KA/SU etc etc and understand it is completely fricking worthless against the US/EU/G7. If it has not had the graveyards to harvest would teh Russian arms exporters have even broke even? Doubtful. These industries were never set up to be profitable but as tools of control for client dictatorships/occupations

                Iran and North Korea have been consuming shit from Russian tank graveyards for decades. Let's see what happens. I guess Russia may still be able to dig out T55 parts for swap trades with North Korea. You do identify something that should always have been obvious though, Iran is a de facto Russian client state. The axis that is Iran-Syria-Russia-North Korea-Belarus-Venezuela-Nicaragua-Cuba-El Salvador has been mortally wounded. How long does Assad have left now? Or Kim?

                Iran and Cuba will be fine, they could maybe pivot and negotiate, but they are used to sanctions.
                Syria I think can reasonably negotiate, they've been getting along well enough with the Kurds and Iraqis
                Nicaragua and El Salvador aren't functional states anyways, Russia being around probably isn't changing much.
                Best Korea, idk. It depends on whether the Russians gave them food or not, and aside from some missile tech and maybe some nook stuff, they they weren't exactly getting top of the line stuff. They've been in decline for years regardless, and realistically won't be using any of it ever. China will still be there, as long as they don't chimp the frick out, and like Cuba and Iran they're very used to sanctions at this point.

                If I am wrong feel free to elaborate on russian influence on these places, especially El Salvador and Nicaragua, I don't know anything about rus influence there.

                March 3, 2022
                RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - The extraordinary UN General Assembly voted on Wednesday a resolution condemning the Russian special military operation in Ukraine. It totaled 141 votes in favor, five against (Belarus, Eritrea, North Korea, Syria, and Russia itself), and 35 abstentions. The latter group includes China and four Latin American countries: Bolivia, Cuba, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. A fifth, Venezuela, an unconditional ally of Moscow, has its vote disqualified due to debts with the organization. The positive votes of Argentina and Brazil, two countries that had played the neutrality card and finally opted for repudiation, were relevant.

                I think the only Russian client state that will be left is Belarus and maybe not even that. The USSR may have collapsed and Eastern Europe liberated but that never happened in the occupied south American client states. In fact the Russians expanded their misery into Venezuela.

                You have these Russian client state Axis
                Middle East - Syria-Iran
                South America-Cuba-Venezuela-Nicaragua-El Salvador

                Does it though? Does it Really? North Korea has always been a compromise holding position between China Russia and the US but the Kims have always been primarily Stalin/Putin/Russia pets and a big component in each others crime syndicates, for example forged currency. North Korea still exports slaves to Russia for roubles that replaced some gulag workers as Russia's population fell off. Russia had a far bigger hand in establishing that regime than people realise. Does China really need this shit on its doorsteps? Why? You say buffer state but if that buffer is bizzare hell scape prone to famine and mass paranoia with nukes how much of a buffer is that? You think China wants this

                Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua, and El Salvador exhibit their alliance with Russia at the UN
                By
                Latin America News
                March 3, 2022
                RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - The extraordinary UN General Assembly voted on Wednesday a resolution condemning the Russian special military operation in Ukraine. It totaled 141 votes in favor, five against (Belarus, Eritrea, North Korea, Syria, and Russia itself), and 35 abstentions. The latter group includes China and four Latin American countries: Bolivia, Cuba, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. A fifth, Venezuela, an unconditional ally of Moscow, has its vote disqualified due to debts with the organization. The positive votes of Argentina and Brazil, two countries that had played the neutrality card and finally opted for repudiation, were relevant.

                I think the only Russian client state that will be left is Belarus and maybe not even that. The USSR may have collapsed and Eastern Europe liberated but that never happened in the occupied south American client states. In fact the Russians expanded their misery into Venezuela.

                You have these Russian client state Axis
                Middle East - Syria-Iran
                South America-Cuba-Venezuela-Nicaragua-El Salvador
                Asia
                North Korea, India etc

                The First to go will be Syria, then Venezuela. I'd put money on this. The only thing that keeps half these regimes in place is Russia.

                >El Salvador

                Iran and Cuba will be fine, they could maybe pivot and negotiate, but they are used to sanctions.
                Syria I think can reasonably negotiate, they've been getting along well enough with the Kurds and Iraqis
                Nicaragua and El Salvador aren't functional states anyways, Russia being around probably isn't changing much.
                Best Korea, idk. It depends on whether the Russians gave them food or not, and aside from some missile tech and maybe some nook stuff, they they weren't exactly getting top of the line stuff. They've been in decline for years regardless, and realistically won't be using any of it ever. China will still be there, as long as they don't chimp the frick out, and like Cuba and Iran they're very used to sanctions at this point.

                If I am wrong feel free to elaborate on russian influence on these places, especially El Salvador and Nicaragua, I don't know anything about rus influence there.

    The funniest fricking thing about HIMARS to me is that it's just a god damn GPS and INS guided rocket with a healthy payload that can hit a target within 10 meters under the worst case scenario (windy, stormy weather with a failed GPS, solely relying on INS).
    That's fricking it. It's an incredibly simple concept, and it's not even that expensive ($3.5 Million per M142, $100k~ per M31 GMLRS). That's about the cost of a single T-80 for the launcher.
    Oh and it has a rated range of 80km, but Ukraine has shown in practice it can stretch its legs to reach 100km - 110km. Not a 2km range like the fricking TOS-1A. Now imagine how far GMLRS-ER can go outside of its 150km rated range.

      I'd argue its not simple, but just a really refined system
      They knocked off all the difficult things which make dealing with heavy munitions a complete pain in the dick, then added some usability like putting it on a simple, lower cost but effective platform that means your maintenance and operation can be done by any one with some fundamentals in operating and fixing trucks. Sort of all the good things of the old BM21 but none of the shit stuff like individually having to load tubes, quicker turn around on fire missions and tailoring your load out as-required.

      The price point to play is really low and you'd honestly be mad not to have at least 'some' in the inventory of anyone that needs to strike into the back fields of a battle zone

      Any rocket can go outside it's range if you're able to accept a wider probability radius! At a far enough distance it's in between mortars and ICBMs, and the math for dumbfire lobbing on a ballistic trajectory hasn't changed, so someone who paid attention in trig can handle a volley fairly well, assuming they have accurate intel and a big enough acceptable target.

      Yes but you need a good satellite positioning system in the first place. Only the US military or people using US miltech get the GPS receivers that can function in a missile (flying at fast speeds, demanding extremely accurate coordinates).

            Because it has limited production numbers and it is regulated as a strategic weapon. Which is why these countries are vying for Korean weapons that are compatible as a cheap alternative for the US weaponry.

      That's technically not true. It's just that Americans aren't going to be able to deliver the requested 500 HIMARS within the specified time slot, so - from my understanding - Polish MOD plans to buy around 200 HIMARS and 200+ K-239s. Which - in my opinion - makes perfect sense if you are gearing for war within the next decade.

                HIMARS's main advantage is its transportability that's achieved at the cost of sacrificing its firepower and armor, which is kinda pointless for countries that don't need rapid deployment abroad. The only reason why HIMARS is such a hyped item is because it's what the Ukies have in inventory currently. Remember why the USFK, which is facing a direct fire of PLA's cruise missile, is equipped with M270, not HIMARS.

    It's sort of weird to me that HIMARs is so successful, consider that a GBU-53 bomb has equal range to a himars missile, probably carries a larger warhead, but is a fraction of the cost.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-53/B_StormBreaker

    So shouldn't bombs be much more common? Or are aircraft too easy to shoot down, and what does this say about modern warfare if aircraft can't be used to the full extent that they were in the gulf war / iraq war.

      Being air-launched is problematic if you do not reliably have an air superiority. And realistically only USA can say that they would reliably have an air superiority in any near-peer conflict.

      HIMARS sticks out in this situation because its the primary problem solver. If you're in a modern, mid-tier western military you basically have a checklist of support solutions-
      >Artillery
      >Guided missile
      >CAS
      >Organic assets in your regiment

      So for Ukraine, they're leaning on essentially the guided missile option as the HIMARS (I think) aren't part of their organic regiment's fire support and more under some strategic services. Normally you'd probably have some tacked onto your battle group and your general staff would go, yeah can't give you arty but I can get someone to do CAS on that area, or if there's no air available they might go. Its only 20k's away, I'll get you onto arty and they'll blow it up for you.
      Mostly for Ukraine, a lot of the air space is contested and they're low on planes, so bombing something might not be an option, they need a heavier hit on a structure or hardened target and the HIMARS fits that role 'good enough'. That's sort of why most places don't necessarily have 100's of them, but they have enough and it just all clicks into an ABCD option list as required

      But those are air-DROPPED glide bombs. You take them up to altitude, release them, and they drift toward the target.

      They don't waste 80% of their mass on propellant, so, yeah, they can devote that to more explosives.

        The US didn't, we gave M142s. The Bongs gave a half dozen of their M270s so that's probably what you saw. My point though is that if we're buying moe M142s anyway then we really don't need all these 270s clogging up the boneyard. Just dump a few dozen on Ukraine and tell em to have fun.

          idk, if I were to guess it may be that they prefer the wheeled M142 to the tracked M270.
          Seeing as the main use of HIMARS so far is shoot and scoot it would makes sense that they want the faster system.

            Bro Ukraine is thrilled to get anything that's good at killing Russians and M270 kills Russia just fine. If you want to give them more M142s too then by all means but there's no reason not to drop some of the M270 surplus in their laps too.

              I have a feeling that, because of the stark transition from Pact to NATO equipment, part of the slowness to equipment being transferred is that Ukraine isn't just taking everything, they're putting things through procurement. Of course they're using stuff when the can get away with it- I bet their trials of HIMARS and PzH2k have been very successful and they'll keep using them, but I have the feeling that they're taking notes on stuff like it and the artillery pieces before they start asking for arsenals worth of it, and taking a long time with tanks to figure out what they specifically want a battalion or two of.

              Its great to dump all these weapons on them, but post war they're going to reorganize and standardize, and whatever they end up not wanting has to go somewhere, and it will go there at a cost. They're already probably going to get rid of a good amount of reconditioned soviet junk.

Shit like Hellfires, NLAWs, Javelins, TOWs, they all get built in civilian operated plants, no? Where do they get the explosives? What kind of requirements are there to do that job? How are the missilies transported from the factories to military warehouses? I basically want the intro scene from to Lord of War but with missiles explained to me

      motor casing gets made, propellant gets mixed, propellant gets poured in with a mold so it has the geometry the number crunchers came up with for whatever the mandated performance characteristics are. Motor gets packaged into a wood crate and shipped. The rest of the missile I can't offer any insight on, as I don't work on that part.
      >civilian operated plants
      Correct
      >Where do they get the explosives
      They have a FEL. Its like an FFL, but for explosives.
      >requirements for the job
      That varies depending on if you are going into engineering, manufacturing, or an engineering technician. I got my job with a BS in engineering.

      Overall the manufacture of missiles is a huge multistep process with so many companies being a part of it your head will spin. One company will make the avianics, on company will make the motor, a local machine shop might make components for both of those companies, and so on. There isn't really a step 1, 2, 3, 4,... x, y, z.
      As far as where they are made, you can find it with a google search. There was a politico article about the town just a couple of days ago.
