The War in the Ukraine

There are actually quite a few white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups in the West that favor Russia from even before the war. I know this trend was present in Ukraine, but I'm certain it is also present in Russia. Coincidentally, I was reading earlier about something totally unrelated (satanic cults) and found Western groups, some originating as far as 1960s Britain, that are involved in and contributing as volunteers to the Russian side in the war.

Most of these groups are irrelevant at best and might even potentially honey pot for federal agents, especially the Atomwaffen one. Nothing really significant

This is insane. Russian soldier batted down an FPV drone with the butt of his rifle and it explodes, but somehow he is still walking.

A week before the invasion of Kursk, the commander of the AFU 80th Airborne Assault Brigade, Emil Ishkulov, was removed from his command. In summary he was removed from his command after deeming the mission set forth with it's circumstances and lack of support, to be unrealistic and political.

Not linked for 18+ content. Russian Sevastopol marines of the 810rd Brigade walks around bodies and destroyed vehicles after an ambush on a Ukrainian convoy.

Russian VDV special forces captured AFU marines in the Dniepr islands. They surrendered immediately without resistance. Seems like no motivation.

Kursk border region. This is crazy. Car pulls up to a Ukrainian BMP, whose crew and soldiers are off to somewhere. Russian soldier takes out a gallon of gasoline, douses the BMP and sets it on fire. The car then runs away.

This just in.

Iskander M snagged an Su-24 being loaded with Storm Shadow or SCALP missiles. You can see a truck came next to the plane to load it. That's when the missile hit, taking the plane, truck, missiles and the technical crew with large explosions.

If the delivery of JASSM's happens, it will a boon of information for quite a few others, considering it's meant to be the US main AGM in the Pacífic. It also speaks of the situation if the US has reached a point where they are actually considering using up their own strategic stockpiles.

Getting live examples of JASSMs and actual practice fighting against it would be valuable data to hand/trade to China.

If they supply Ukraine with JASSM/JASSM-ER then the US will break the MTCR. Again.
Russia will eventually retaliate by proliferating long range cruise missiles.
The distance from Caracas to New York is less than the range of next generation Kalibr-M for example.

It is hard to tell, whats underneath could well be the hull. But yeah, the ammo distribution of the Challenger 2 has always been pretty questionable particularly due to the fact that the tank uses three-piece ammunition(projectile, propellant charge, electric vent tube), which forced them to storage ammo and charges all around the fighting compartment.

While the charges are kept inside containers, these aren't wet, so yeah, Challengers 2 have always been contenders for the turret tossing contest. They just have never faced enemies that could actually shoot back until now so there is a lot of hype surrounding the tank, even when multiple NATO and the UK's own test have showed it is a subpar tank particularly when compared to the the M1 or Leopard 2.

Bruh.

Is this the least crew safe semi-modern tank in this war?

One penetration into the turret, not even the hull, and it combusts internally. It has the easy to disable ammo rack of the Abrams but without blast doors... No wonder why Ukraine were holding these tanks for so long.

I thought challengers had the same blast doors as Abrams and the ammo was stored outside the crew area.

"One penetration into the turret, not even the hull, and it combusts internally."

My understanding is that the Challenger 2 carries all propellant charges below the turret ring, so a turret penetration on a horizontal or shallow-angle plane shouldn't cause a cook-off. But in an environment like this current Russia-Ukraine war, where high-angle attacks (e.g., drones, precision artillery strikes) are not uncommon, a tank can be affected "below the ring" even if the hull itself is not penetrated.
