Move over Starstreak, In a classically true to form move, Warriortard made a dumb claim about something only to be proven wrong almost right away.

>The Ukrainian air-assault force’s new 82nd Brigade is almost comically powerful. It’s apparent that the 2,000-person brigade, which formed in February, will lead from the front once Ukraine’s spring mud finally dries up and Kyiv launches its long-planned counteroffensive.
Must be pretty awkward for a guy who's invested almost his personality in talking about how cannons without stabilisers and IFV's without integrated ATGM's are worthless.
Look, it's Forbes, my favorite military and materiel analysis website!
It's not russian, so it's not lying all the time
>so it's not lying all the time
Forbes was built on a lie. Their Fortune 500 list isn't allowed to name old money like the Rothschilds since the list doesn't count """royalty.""" Forbes's entire brand is lying to the reader's face while he makes excuses for them.
LMAO
motherfucker even bellingcat has lied multiple times hell they were a key factor on the first iraqi war with their false flag about iraqis raping babies
Does it being Forbes change the fact that it's elite infantry in large numbers under armour with a BIG manoeuvre element and guns that they can take with them into the enemy rear?
Forbe's even fakes their billionaire list as the real rich guys don't let them use their names.
Wagner group was only formed in 2014. Have they made Forbes 30 Under 30 list yet?
I told you guys 82 is one of the strongest brigades in that lineup
>British making up numbers
how unexpected!?
Are you unable to count?
P.S Forbes is American and the Author is from South Carolina.
>the Author
David "Completely and Hysterically Wrong About F-35" Axe is an idiot though
Ad hominem, why are you unable to argue the facts as they are presented?
>elite light infantry
>1000+ seats for passengers
>heavy tilt to wheeled vehicles
>still large IFV component
>light logistics trail 105mm towed guns
>formed from the merger of two battle hardened units and bolstered by western trained forces
Totally not an offensive formation bro...
I'm
and one of the earliest to pick 82 back in the original thread so fuck off
Yes I hate David Axe and I want him to take an actual axe in the balls and live to suffer the humiliation of being asked if he'd like to make a full MTF since he's already 99% of the way
David Axe also thought Russia would beat NATO in 60 hours. He's a tard but sometimes he gets some things right.
>doesn’t even know what country Forbes is from and can’t be bothered to look it up
Good job
I mean the challeys will lead, and Warriortard is never correct about anything. I understand why 82nd gang exist.
But I'm still 47th gang. Come on boyos, whatcha got for me?
>ukraines 82nd air assault brigade is ridiculously powerful
Sounds like quality journalism.
>Those 14 Challenger 2s might be the best weapons the Ukrainians have for a direct assault on Russian fortifications
LOL
Your article is ass David.
Damn David
Uh oh looks like we gota retard!
>The engineering vehicles are critical for that initial assault on Russian defenses
Ah yes, tanks and their infamous composite assault dozer blades.
Does the guy think this is fucking wh40k or what?
Filtered
Do you know what were the first US armoured vehicles to attack when the ground war began in Desert Storm?
It wasn't Abrams.
>What were the tanks
You mean as in "the nature of the tank" ?
That's so philosophical all of a sudden, oh my.
We can go Freudian about this and talk about dick extensions and mother fucking or Schopenhauerian see it was will becoming matter.
The Kornet doesn't care though David, damn.
There are no assault dozer blades David, 92% of scientists agree.
Stop spouting conspiracy theories.
Pseud.
You lost.
Oh!
Look at these spikeys!
This surely is a weapon!
Those are for earth, not Russian soldiers.
What's next, are you going to tell me the claw picks up Russians from the trenches and crushes them?
The kind of people who lurk here again man :/
Why are you so upset at the well understood concept of armoured engineering vehicles? Did you want the vehicles without the mine ploughs to go into the minefield first?
he's going to say he was only pretending to be retarded next, I guarantee it
I'm only pretending to be retarded
guarantees it.
Well, I'm more of the artillery kind of guy you know?
Just make use of all that low LOD artillery the West gave ya and just blast a swath into that minefield.
No need to risk the lives of the crews and scare the animals of the forest with those spikes and "assault dozer blades" (seriously what the fuck is wrong with you)
>blow up the barbed wire with artillery old boy, you'll be able to just walk to the German trenches
Sorry to break it to you Dr. Galaxybrain, but there is a reason armoured engineering vehicles exist and it's not to dig latrines in the presence of Davvo's post curry lagershits.
that takes ammo, and it means the arty can't be doing other things. Ukr probably can't spare the tubes. on the other hand, Ukraine does have MICLICs.
there are issues besides minefields. anti-tank ditches, rivers, and those shitty "dragon's teeth". while the fake "teeth" probably won't be an issue, the ditches might be.
those hydraulic lines look a little unprotected. i assume these things aren't intended to be used in a fragment rich environment?
speaking of which, what DO they call them? Vatmashers? Russiviscerators? Perfidious Slav-slusher?
What are the triangles for
I would imagine ERA or other Appliqué armour.
(You)
Here we go boys.
>airborne
>lots of heavy armor
Are slavs retards? "Airborne" suposes troops you can fit in an aircraft and drops from it; how you drop a Challenger or Bradley from air?
It's because historically slavshit tanks send the turret and crew airborne when hit.
Tell me how the 82nd and 101st went into battle in December 1944, do
bros were talkin shit when I said that they would be the spearhead and called them DLC.
I know opsec won't allow much footage out before/during the offensive but this One of Every Animal menagerie at war is going to be absolute PrepHoleino to behold once the media blackout lifts.
May God have mercy on the Ukrainian maintainers.
now to see what worthless rock they dash themselves upon
>Warriortard got it wrong. Again!
No one is surprised. dude is cringe af and has literally 0 OC.
I'm sorry 82nd Brigade
It's usually safe to assume that if warriortard is saying something the opposite is true.
