>ronically the cope cage would be an actual improvement
This. Honestly seems they got memed on so hard about the cope cages that they scrapped them right before they would have been useful to catch quadcopter nades.
It's open top, how would a cope cage save them in any capacity?? It would have to be solid with no gaps for shrapnel to not kill the user. It's brain dead retarded either way.
It gives a chance for a grenade to bounce off to the instead of blowing up on the lap of the gunner.
Obviously works only on the simplest versions of 'nade drones that do not have touch trigger, but eh.

Yeah but don't you have to admit that it's pretty desperate for the Russians to be doing this? We already know the Ukrainians are desperate, they've been begging the world for more and more arms and help for a year now.
When did the US ever do something like this during their invasions of Iraq or Afghanistan? Or any other modern war? Aren't Russia a peer?
In the book "The Fighting 69th" the US NY ARNG uparmored their vehicles with "hillbilly" armor before they deployed to Iraq. Beyond that, the US never dug out ancient APCs and slapped a Naval gun on it lol. I'm interested to see it shoot tho.

what the fuck i'm looking at?
Unironically yes to all of your post because Ukraine was an Africa-tier post-Soviet fuck-up that leveled-up and it's impressive to chart the ingenuity they pull out their asses along the way.
Russia was the "second army of the world" in most everyone's mind right up until March of last year, with T-80BVMs and T-90Ms and Su-35s and Su-57s and Armatas. Now they're welding fucking naval turrets to fucking MT-LBs.
FUCKING MT-LBs, anon.
>Ukraine was an Africa-tier
No they weren't.
Sorry, it's just after somaliland threads I have a difficult time with anyone calling anything of mexican cartels level and above "Africa-tier", they just aren't. Let's call them "Arab-tier", that would be closer to the truth, ok?
The reality is when people think "africa tier" they actually mean rhodesian/afrikaaner/soldier of fortune mercenary equipment. Gear and militaria operated out of expedience and ingenuity in the face of global embargo. Actual Africa doesn't have bubba'd technicals and LaVs. One Hind gunship has decided wars.
The real african on african warfare is somalia vs somalialand where the US state department calculated a literal single shipping crate of smallarms ammunition will turn the tide of the war in favor of the 'Legitimate government". African military history is just empire of dust played out with machetes.
is this a new cope because this is the second or third time i've seen this *word for word* reply. Legit thought I'd clicked on an older thread and not realized.
spoiler alert: one of them (dune buggy with ATGM, fast, effective, fits with tactics proven successful in this war) is good because it *works*, and the other (ML-TB, 1950s AFV with *salvaged naval turret* sticking up like a big "fuck me with every ATGM you have" signpost, ) is a sign of desperation and/or someone huffing too many metal fumes while kitbashing Cold War soviet vehicles. And that's before you consider how the latter is also appearing in what was supposed to be one of the *best militaries in the world*.
Look at this home made MRLS. Nice clean pickups, nice clean rocket tubes. Probably very, very mobile. Obviously not as much punch as the real thing, but it would probably make some vatniks day turn from bad to worse anyway. It's useable, it's aesthetic, and assuming it's accurate - it works.
what the fuck is the giant flacid dick ontop of a slow moving vehicle from the 50s going to do?
There is a clear distinction between the brands of "home made" shit coming from either side
No? How did you even reach that conclusion, nafotard? Russia is a superpower, pisskraine is a puppet state propped up by the whole of Nato, and even they struggle for parity with Russia.
so then how do you fail to understand when russia is criticized for its ork tier inventions when the same scrutiny isn't applied to ukraine for being a smaller and poorer nation, you drunk snow moron?

If you're a high level commie chink and you see shit like this every day coming out of vatnikstan, how do you not just one day say "fuck it" and just start snapping up the Russian far east?
Because Putin and Russia give China the facade of having "allies". Also you get all the resources in the world on the cheap without having to administer a vast area. Plus Putin is distracting the west. China wants to expand eastward. C'mon anon.

Chinks are kinda butthurt about all that debacle, in one hand they are mad that russia started this stupid war, on other hand they mad that west didn't fold up and winning it. I'm not sure that behind all that petty bugmen rage they even notice that it's not a west, but just a single Ukraine with a minor help.
You do, it's just that you do it under the guide of "foreign investment". Build a factory in Vladivostok and employ some locals, but obviously you'll need to send some Chinese nationals over as well just to make sure everything's running properly. Maybe loan Russia some money after the war to rebuild their economy; no need to worry about paying it back, China is generous and willing to forgive all the debt in exchange for a long term lease of Outer Mongo-- Siberia.
in these kinds of lawless stronk ape regimes rule of law does not exist. If the changs cant back up their "investments" in hard power vatniks will simply come up with a new "law" to take their invetments away from them at the first opportunist moment. Changs do that too to outsiders in their home turf starting the moment foreign investment wants to move in and culminating with IP theft followed by expulsion of the original foreigner to be replaced with local copy cat.
They need hard control over Siberia if they want to drain it completely of anything that is worth there. Like fresh water reserves.
I kinda doubt the Russians are going to have much "hard power" left once this is over. Besides decimating their working aged men, they've basically burned through their inventory of armored vehicles and artillery. The PLA may be outfitted with Chinkshit, but at least with Chinese corruption there is an attempt to deliver something that resembles a working product.
As long as Russia remains a pariah on the world stage, they're going to be relying on China for manufactured goods so there really isn't much they can use in negotiations with China.
as long as you have governmental control hard power can manifest in new obscure rules they use to nationalize chinese investments. Not a single gun needed aside from the armed rent a cops taking over the objects. From that point chinks either have to move in with muscle, lose face appearing weak or try the rather ineffective embargos which still wont get large scale, hard cash, hard asset investments back. Like factories or dams or canals. Shit like consumer products market is peanuts in real value these kind of hard assets hold.
For vatnikstan there is not only just china, india is more then happy to simp for them as well ass the rest of the turd world which provides ample avenues for selling their cheap oil. As long as they can transport it.
Also the vatniks are still doing dumb shit and encroaching in Japanese territorial waters and helping split Jap resources instead of them entirely focusing on China.

Putin is aware of this threat, it's the biggest real threat to Russia. As such Putin has done 2 key things to appear China in the east 1, putin providing chinese workers in the millions are in eastern russia, despite the protests of "Russians" there.
2, Putin sells Russia oil and gas to China at less than the cost to extract it - therefore if China did invade and took the fields it would cost China more to extract itself and supply.
So the CCP is a dictatorship, the mechanism by which it holds power is keeping a single promise to Chinese people; it will grow economy and increase incomes for the millions of peasant farmers still in China. economically Putin has satisfied the CCP interest better than the CCP could by invading, therefore no invasion.
So, question: The lower part of the turret, the bit that would be below the deck when mounted on a ship - is that armored? Is the gunner just going to get shot in the dick or what?
Well, 4mm of cardboard is still better than the poor bastard who has to reload the fucking thing.
It is side loaded so the guy has to stand on the roof fully visible to load the thing.
I would unironically prefer an HMG with a good armor steel gun shield over this joke of a turret. Unless they stuck an auxiliary hydraulic power unit in the MTLB, this is going to be manually laid, too.
Unless they've got a fucking hydraulic power unit running on a PTO on that MTLB, this is gonna be hand crank aimed for elevation and traverse. And the gunsight is right out of WWII.
>morale boost like those stupid trenches in the Crimean beach?
That isn't a morale boost, they're literally evacuating military personnel families and other VIPs as we speak, fully bracing for combat. If anything, its the opposite of a morale boost. What kind of morale boost says "we are going to be pushed back all the way here soon"?
As for the MTLB's with a naval gun... it would take some kind of "retarded genius" (i don't know a better term to describe it) to make it work. Genius that you can get a naval turret to work on an old APC, but retarded because it's the dumbest fucking idea ever and has the worst silhouette known to man. Who even knows. maybe they're just decoys.
The thing anyone should be asking isn't why this thing exists, it's "why don't they have better than this". Isn't that the point of the big fuck off victory parades? To show they have actual vehicles specifically for this purpose so they don't look like they're scrounging for whatever they can in a scrapyard? Why the fuck did they feel the need to do this? Unless of course, they really are ass fucked to find anything good and those parades were only but purchasing catalogues for foreign buyers that they only hoped to ever make small batches of to keep the economy growing while they bluff their way through everything with the threat of "large scale use" of said vehicles while trying their best to keep shoe stringing the rusted hulks they still have running.
Modern Russia is a death cult of WW2 worshipers living like parasites off the corpse of the USSR. Almost every "new" weapons system they've developed is really an extension of a Soviet plan, only now they don't have the skill to make more than a few for parades and air shows.
Russia's armor supply is basically one T14 every year, one T90M every month, and whatever 50-year-old artifacts they can drag out of Siberia and repaint.
25mm autocannons surely could have been remounted into a more useful form factor.
If they actually did have hundreds of them and ammunition production, in the cyberpunk bubba war that'd be the kind of candidate to turn into something wild like an autonomous defensive turret. Hobbyists can make airsoft guns shoot human IR signatures/movement with an arduino, where is the manmade horrors beyond our comprehension of killbots cobbled out of 70 year old war surplus.
For anti drone warfare, sound triangulation seems like something static defenses could build autonomous systems around. Combined with movement and IR sensors it'd be a counter for line of sight non aircraft air warfare.
No shit, but the gun inside the useless naval turret is a 1" belt fed autocannon. Throw it on a gimble mount with stepper motors, cheap thermal optic, slap an arduino on it and make it shoot at flying battery heat signatures or AoD a corridor by shooting at movement. The code for it is on gitlab as some highschool science project. Parts are all sold by alibaba or direct from china.
The amount of effort to weld this shit up in the mind of a wood alcohol addled vatnik may make sense compared to putting together anything "high tech", but that's also why they're getting grenade spammed by Iphone controlled package delivery drones.
FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS I THOUGHT THE PICTURES IN THE OP'S OF THESE THREADS WERE MADE BY A.I. AND PEOPLE WERE JUST JOKING AROUND, BUT IT IS REAL. WTF RUSSIA, WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM? CAN YOU FOR A SINGLE DAY STOP BEING RETARDED?
PLEASE CEASE YOUR INQUIRY IN THE EXISTENCE AND DETAILS OF OPERATION OF THE MINDSCRAMBLER. IT DOES NOT EXIST, AND EVEN IF IT DID, WHICH IT DOES NOT, IT WOULD BE A MILITARY SECRET. HYPOTHETICALLY AND IN MINECRAFT.
OK now that we all had a good laugh out of it, what do you think its most appropriate NATO nickname designation? "gay" is already taken by plane so it doesn't count.
The 600,000+ casualties figure looks way too high to me, and my suHispanicion is further raised by not knowing the methodology behind those numbers.
But consider how "over 16,000" sets nothing more than a lower bound. 16,000 is the number that an independent news agency (Meduza, I think it was) could verify based on nothing more than publicly available information linking names to confirmed deaths. And while it includes the mobilized, I suspect "soldiers" doesn't include PMCs, Rosgvardia, Chechen militias, Donbabweans, or a bunch of other factions. >Russia's total irretrievable losses which include wounded, killed or missing people may amount to at least 144,500 people.
That's another "at least", and given that 300,000 mobiks were needed for backfill just a few months ago, I don't find 144,500+ unreasonable at all.
Military genius. The platform which will bring Russia victory!
You see, while the Ukies are suppressed by Terminators, rockets and other artillery- hunkering down in their trenches, soon to become their graves- these autocannon vehicles will enter the area and back towards the trenches while firing downwards into the masses of defenseless and shocked Ukrainians.

Chinks are probably fucking nervous about Russia managing to wake up the western military industrial capacity though.
Chinks are kinda butthurt about all that debacle, in one hand they are mad that russia started this stupid war, on other hand they mad that west didn't fold up and winning it. I'm not sure that behind all that petty bugmen rage they even notice that it's not a west, but just a single Ukraine with a minor help.
A wumao? In MY Ukraine thread?
in these kinds of lawless stronk ape regimes rule of law does not exist. If the changs cant back up their "investments" in hard power vatniks will simply come up with a new "law" to take their invetments away from them at the first opportunist moment. Changs do that too to outsiders in their home turf starting the moment foreign investment wants to move in and culminating with IP theft followed by expulsion of the original foreigner to be replaced with local copy cat.
They need hard control over Siberia if they want to drain it completely of anything that is worth there. Like fresh water reserves.
for real though, why hasn't Ukraine blown up part of that railroad yet?
it's one of the most glaringly obvious logistical weak points
Because it is hard, but not very useful. Even severe damage with derailment of a train will only stop the railroad for 1 day tops
I kinda doubt the Russians are going to have much "hard power" left once this is over. Besides decimating their working aged men, they've basically burned through their inventory of armored vehicles and artillery. The PLA may be outfitted with Chinkshit, but at least with Chinese corruption there is an attempt to deliver something that resembles a working product.
As long as Russia remains a pariah on the world stage, they're going to be relying on China for manufactured goods so there really isn't much they can use in negotiations with China.
as long as you have governmental control hard power can manifest in new obscure rules they use to nationalize chinese investments. Not a single gun needed aside from the armed rent a cops taking over the objects. From that point chinks either have to move in with muscle, lose face appearing weak or try the rather ineffective embargos which still wont get large scale, hard cash, hard asset investments back. Like factories or dams or canals. Shit like consumer products market is peanuts in real value these kind of hard assets hold.
For vatnikstan there is not only just china, india is more then happy to simp for them as well ass the rest of the turd world which provides ample avenues for selling their cheap oil. As long as they can transport it.
>as long as you have governmental control
Yes, this is the problem for Russia.
Ulan-Ude. I used to be sweet on a girl from there.
Damn did I dodge a bullet, phew.
Also the vatniks are still doing dumb shit and encroaching in Japanese territorial waters and helping split Jap resources instead of them entirely focusing on China.
You do, it's just that you do it under the guide of "foreign investment". Build a factory in Vladivostok and employ some locals, but obviously you'll need to send some Chinese nationals over as well just to make sure everything's running properly. Maybe loan Russia some money after the war to rebuild their economy; no need to worry about paying it back, China is generous and willing to forgive all the debt in exchange for a long term lease of Outer Mongo-- Siberia.
Putin is aware of this threat, it's the biggest real threat to Russia. As such Putin has done 2 key things to appear China in the east 1, putin providing chinese workers in the millions are in eastern russia, despite the protests of "Russians" there.
2, Putin sells Russia oil and gas to China at less than the cost to extract it - therefore if China did invade and took the fields it would cost China more to extract itself and supply.
So the CCP is a dictatorship, the mechanism by which it holds power is keeping a single promise to Chinese people; it will grow economy and increase incomes for the millions of peasant farmers still in China. economically Putin has satisfied the CCP interest better than the CCP could by invading, therefore no invasion.
The future. Haven't you heard? All the cool guy units are running high rise mounts these days.
carry handle bros cant stop winning
Carry handle optic with night vision sucks
The tall order, they call it.
I get the feeling Putin's goal of reinforcing Russia's bully status in the world with this invasion isn't going as according to keikaku.
So, question: The lower part of the turret, the bit that would be below the deck when mounted on a ship - is that armored? Is the gunner just going to get shot in the dick or what?
Anon, it's an MT-LB, if the Ukrainians so much as sneeze in its general direction, there's a 50% chance half the crew dying.
None of it is armored. The front of the turret is 4mm mild steel sheet.
>4mm mild steel sheet.
Oh wow. So in the dick and in the everywhere else as well.
RIP the tovarishch
Well, 4mm of cardboard is still better than the poor bastard who has to reload the fucking thing.
It is side loaded so the guy has to stand on the roof fully visible to load the thing.
Somehow, you've managed to make this whole concept sound worse.
4mm of sheet metal would just add spall fragments to the formula. He's literally better off being out in the open.
Incredible.
Well, maybe it will be fine for entrenched positions.
Oh wait, drones...
that pimped-out Maxim I saw the other day is going to saw this thing clear in half midway up the shaft, isn't it
You know what? Depends.
How agile is this tower actually is?
I would unironically prefer an HMG with a good armor steel gun shield over this joke of a turret. Unless they stuck an auxiliary hydraulic power unit in the MTLB, this is going to be manually laid, too.
>Unless they stuck an auxiliary hydraulic power unit in the MTLB
Of course they did. His name is Vladim.
The Royal Navy used to call that "handraulics"
The 20th or 25th spam/flood of this bullshit in the past 48 hours. Suck on rotting dogshit.

Imagine being conscripted as a cook then suddenly getting shipped to the frontline to drive one of these
Maybe they just want to use them for a drone hunting?
That would be interesting, considering that this gun can't go 90° up.
Unless they've got a fucking hydraulic power unit running on a PTO on that MTLB, this is gonna be hand crank aimed for elevation and traverse. And the gunsight is right out of WWII.
It's a joke is what it is.
If mechanical gun sights were good enough for dubya dubya 2 they are good enough for the worlds second greatest army™

Are these things actually going to be used in combat or is it a morale boost like those stupid trenches in the Crimean beach?
>morale boost like those stupid trenches in the Crimean beach?
That isn't a morale boost, they're literally evacuating military personnel families and other VIPs as we speak, fully bracing for combat. If anything, its the opposite of a morale boost. What kind of morale boost says "we are going to be pushed back all the way here soon"?
As for the MTLB's with a naval gun... it would take some kind of "retarded genius" (i don't know a better term to describe it) to make it work. Genius that you can get a naval turret to work on an old APC, but retarded because it's the dumbest fucking idea ever and has the worst silhouette known to man. Who even knows. maybe they're just decoys.
Puccia's Navy
The thing anyone should be asking isn't why this thing exists, it's "why don't they have better than this". Isn't that the point of the big fuck off victory parades? To show they have actual vehicles specifically for this purpose so they don't look like they're scrounging for whatever they can in a scrapyard? Why the fuck did they feel the need to do this? Unless of course, they really are ass fucked to find anything good and those parades were only but purchasing catalogues for foreign buyers that they only hoped to ever make small batches of to keep the economy growing while they bluff their way through everything with the threat of "large scale use" of said vehicles while trying their best to keep shoe stringing the rusted hulks they still have running.
Modern Russia is a death cult of WW2 worshipers living like parasites off the corpse of the USSR. Almost every "new" weapons system they've developed is really an extension of a Soviet plan, only now they don't have the skill to make more than a few for parades and air shows.
Russia's armor supply is basically one T14 every year, one T90M every month, and whatever 50-year-old artifacts they can drag out of Siberia and repaint.
25mm autocannons surely could have been remounted into a more useful form factor.
If they actually did have hundreds of them and ammunition production, in the cyberpunk bubba war that'd be the kind of candidate to turn into something wild like an autonomous defensive turret. Hobbyists can make airsoft guns shoot human IR signatures/movement with an arduino, where is the manmade horrors beyond our comprehension of killbots cobbled out of 70 year old war surplus.
For anti drone warfare, sound triangulation seems like something static defenses could build autonomous systems around. Combined with movement and IR sensors it'd be a counter for line of sight non aircraft air warfare.
It's handcracked shit with ammunition not in production since 60s
No shit, but the gun inside the useless naval turret is a 1" belt fed autocannon. Throw it on a gimble mount with stepper motors, cheap thermal optic, slap an arduino on it and make it shoot at flying battery heat signatures or AoD a corridor by shooting at movement. The code for it is on gitlab as some highschool science project. Parts are all sold by alibaba or direct from china.
The amount of effort to weld this shit up in the mind of a wood alcohol addled vatnik may make sense compared to putting together anything "high tech", but that's also why they're getting grenade spammed by Iphone controlled package delivery drones.
FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS I THOUGHT THE PICTURES IN THE OP'S OF THESE THREADS WERE MADE BY A.I. AND PEOPLE WERE JUST JOKING AROUND, BUT IT IS REAL. WTF RUSSIA, WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM? CAN YOU FOR A SINGLE DAY STOP BEING RETARDED?

The future of trench warfare. NATO eternaly BTFO'd.
They now only need something which caries the trench.
Just drive the thing into a mud field until nothing but the turret sticks out.
They could use a forklift or someth-- oh, no.
OK now that we all had a good laugh out of it, what do you think its most appropriate NATO nickname designation? "gay" is already taken by plane so it doesn't count.

Nothing much Russia max maxing crap because its lost the war.
debunked
https://kyivindependent.com/news-feed/media-public-data-suggests-over-16-000-russian-soldiers-have-been-killed-during-first-year-of-all-out-war
The 600,000+ casualties figure looks way too high to me, and my suHispanicion is further raised by not knowing the methodology behind those numbers.
But consider how "over 16,000" sets nothing more than a lower bound. 16,000 is the number that an independent news agency (Meduza, I think it was) could verify based on nothing more than publicly available information linking names to confirmed deaths. And while it includes the mobilized, I suspect "soldiers" doesn't include PMCs, Rosgvardia, Chechen militias, Donbabweans, or a bunch of other factions.
>Russia's total irretrievable losses which include wounded, killed or missing people may amount to at least 144,500 people.
That's another "at least", and given that 300,000 mobiks were needed for backfill just a few months ago, I don't find 144,500+ unreasonable at all.
>Rosgvardia
Rozgvardia is putin's army in case the people at home start to get funny ideas. Exactly 0 of them have been deployed.
>Exactly 0 of them have been deployed.
The future, OP
Military genius. The platform which will bring Russia victory!
You see, while the Ukies are suppressed by Terminators, rockets and other artillery- hunkering down in their trenches, soon to become their graves- these autocannon vehicles will enter the area and back towards the trenches while firing downwards into the masses of defenseless and shocked Ukrainians.
>imagine being a NATO gay and losing to this
>and shovels
I guess the white man reigns supreme. Even with shovels and orc-tier machinery he beats the morons running NATO.
