>>62878660I watch telegram channels that post drone videos and they report Russia running out of Bukhankas, more and more replacing their job with....ladas
>>62878674intriguing freeze frame
>>62878675At least with a Lada there's a chance it breaks down before you get anywhere near the enemy
What ziggers concern trolled about would never happenhappened
>>62878703I owned a Niva 1600 and the damn thing was near impossible to kill. The sedan, being a soviet take on a fucking Fiat, is a whole different story
>>62878710Anyone having anything to do with a Fiat gets what they fucking deserveThe only Lada's we had anything to do with were the 1.7's in the late 80's that turned up here and got hit with endless streams of jokes about how every trip was one-way or a miracle of stalin to get further than 50km away from home before something broke. Then they started rusting... Funnily enough I did see one on the road about 2 years ago that some mad fuck had restored and it was running at the time and not a static display
>>62878716In my country these things were briefly popular in the 90s because they were one of the cheapest 4x4s on the market.They quickly gained a bad reputation for being primitively engineered, poorly built, unreliable, and very rust prone.It was a common joke that the factory tool kit was the most important part of the car.Spare parts were also completely unobtainable, so if something important broke and the part could not be repaired the whole car was essentially just useless scrap. Lots of them got parked and forgotten until they rusted away because of that.
>>62878716>LadaIn the balkans the 1500 is to us as is the Honda Civic to Americans. In the 2000s tuning them up for tracks and rallies was fairly popular.
>>62878727They really struggled here because while they were cheap trash, they were also going up against sort of the peak 'cheaper' end of companies and models like Subaru Brumby/Brat, Toyota Hilux, Landcruiser, Nissan Patrol, Suzuki Sierra, Mitsubishi Pajero and all those 4wds were pretty serious shit when it came to reliability, performance and cost.No one was trading in their FJ40 Landcruiser for a 'new' Niva!
>>62878660How can they be so oblivious of the drones?
Why does every footage look worse than the VHS tape of my parents' wedding?
>>62878703If Lada is good for one feature, it would be reliability.... after you have done the brand new Soviet car things like checking all the electric connections and shieet. You know, importers of commie cars to western countries where those were sold were mostly controlled commie governments, the importing company was also the dealership, they basically did full overhaul on everything they sold. Moment factory new car was delivered to them, they did all the electrics again, re-applied rust protection and repainted the fucking thing if there was anything resembling defect on paint. For commie car dealership, it was perfectly normal to painting robot in 60's. Just because they needed to keep up appearance of them being competent at making simple no frills cars. Soviets didn't make any money from export of cars due to all that work being done by locals with western wages. From what I understand, export models of cars were a desirable thing in Soviet Union, because those were better made domestic market examples. Basically after the fixing the cars, they still had reputation for shit quality in the west. I feel sorry for people that got the domestic market car after decade of wait in Soviet Union.There is a reason why commie cars basically disappeared from the market when Soviet Union went way of the dodo stopped fixing the cars they export at cost to the state.Also, there are some benefits if you keep basic design of car the same for 52 years.>>62878710>The sedan, being a soviet take on a fucking Fiat, is a whole different storyThat was only remotely modern thing they could base their engineering practices on for Niva.>>62878716>Anyone having anything to do with a Fiat gets what they fucking deserveOne thing Italian cars had bad reputation from 60's to 80's for was rust protection, genuine Fiat 124 was arguably even worse than Lada when it comes to turning into iron oxide dust.

When you buy car first thing you do is take wrench and then tighten up every nut, bolt and screw car has and pin ones that were supposed to be pinned. New car users usually were not so qualified to that so they used help of other car users who operated together in some collective garage.Unthinkable thing for the spoiled westerners who expect to car out of dealership and just drive it.

>>62878819It was also VERY common for parts to just be missing on brand new cars. Which meant buyers had to source parts on the black market.
>>62878783The main thing with Italian car's from the 70's was the rust, so all the nice Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Fiat and others used soviet steel. It was sort of a trade in kind for the Togliatti auto plant in Samara as a down payment for some kind of joint venture.But the steel was awful and of very low quality with a lack of alloys and then throw in the communist dominated unions in Italy at the time which also didn't exactly help with quality control either. Or that may be a separate issue and more just another problem altogether. Mostly because rusting was really just limited to the Italians and Russians, plenty of complete garbage got made in Germany, the UK and everywhere else that was rusty garbage.
>>62878660xaxaxaxa))) now that they consider civilian cars as amored vehicles, they'll never run out of them in this decade!

Also many remaining Russian guns in depots have had their barrels removed to be used as replacements for worn barrels. Russia's chronic vehicle shortage now has a companion chronic artillery shortage, this will begin to leave compromising levels of reduced artillery in portions of the Russian front lines commencing in ~2 days at the attrition rate of the last 12 months. Russia can only use air power and FAB bombs to try and fill the gap, or drastically shorten its lines to retain the same level of artillery cover. I expect it to try and use air power, the consequence will be increased air combat and looses of Russian air frames and an escalating artillery crisis in the Russian forces. There will be an increased mix of begging threats and other PR stunts by the Kremlin to try and get a ceasefire as they have lost this war. Russia will no longer be able to mount any mechanized offensive operations or offensive operation with artillery support (basically all) by spring and Russia will be effectively defenseless against its neighbors if they advance onto Russian territory.Why economic collapse will force Putin to end the war https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxKLaQ1p6os

Neither will kims artillery which can only fire one shell in two minutes and moves like a tortoise
>>62878951Oh you are not wrong musk and trump and the USAs public are aligned against the entire world as long as that helps Putin, alas too late though.All of Russia's military will be gone by then or anything left that has any military use at all.

>>62879086That's far less likely than my scenario (which admittedly is mostly a joke). The problem with your assessment of Trump is Putin just spat in his face. The man ran as a joke then became President after Obama shit on him at a dinner thing making him actually take it seriously. Revenge and payback are a big part of his personality and he can hold a hell of a grudge. I will be absolutely blown away if he doesn't do anything about it.>>62879087It could legit happen on the simple grounds that all future "aid" under the Trump admin will guaranteed be loans rather than free shit. I don't know if you've ever thought about this but loans with terms and contractual expectation of repayment have a habit of being MUCH bigger than "hey dude, can I borrow some money?" tier gibsmedats. That said I don't think it's literally going to be THAT much per package. Though another bonus of it being a loan is there's a much better chance they won't just be getting mostly Gulf War era milsurp that has been sitting in the desert or warehouses in the middle of nowhere since then. Ukraine is already doing shockingly well with our really old shit. What happens when they start getting more stuff that's actually from this millennium?It's 100% possible to make the aid profitable to the US and that's a way to do it. The funniest possible outcome would be the home of the Black Sea fleet in Crimea being leased to the US Navy for 100 years. Imagine the seethe.

>>62879217They've been running an absolutely brutal defense in depth campaign rather than trying to run more counter-offensives. Russia is gaining ground but at absolutely horrific costs. The Ukrainians are also set to get at least one more big shipment of American weapons and ammo before Biden is out. There's a very good shot rasputitsa combined with the Ukrainian defense in depth strategy is going to grind the Russian advance to a halt. During rasputitsa only a handful of vehicles can operate off road without constantly getting stuck and most of the MT-LBs, which were legendary for handling the mud, are already destroyed. Everything else has to use the roads, hope the ground freezes, or will get stuck constantly making them easy pickings.If rasputitsa returns the stalemate of the last few years I hope Ukraine takes advantage to build better more permanent fortifications. In my opinion this is their golden ticket. If mudholes that barely count as trenches are giving the Russians this much trouble well built fortifications will be unbreakable. They'd also make the lives of the average Ukrainian infantryman manning those MUCH better. Being constantly wet and covered in mud cannot be good for morale.

>>62880261> or a Pobeda rigged together from prewar opel designs and whatever they managed to lift from ford/dodge?Thing rigged together from opel designs was moskvitch-400/401(its basically pre-war opel kadett), produced immediately after the war. Pobeda is GAZ, and gaz always, from its beginning as ford turnkey factory(GAZ A is literally Ford Model A) to the death of its passenger car business leaned american in its designs. Pobeda looks inspired by pre-war american midrange cars.By the time lada began production, there was gaz-24 volga - "luxury" car of local design, heavily inspired by american cars of the 60s(it looks quite similar to ford falcon or chevy nova); moskvitch-408 - same class as lada, but local design(some similarities to post-war kadett A, but quite distinct); and zaz-966 zaporozhets - rear engine supermini, most likely inspired by nsu prinz and hillman imp.

Missiles and bullets are simple objects and easy to manufacture by any industrialized society. Quantity is what matters going forward especially drone swarms which is where Russia and China excel due to their superior manufacturing.

>>62880918I see some merit in what you say, cheap drones, and basic shells are still very vital and the west not focusing on producing more is frustrating. But losing ~10k troops a week while advancing slower than the pace of a snail is a rather loose definition of 'winning'.

Russians continue to advance and the supposedly sophisticated western weapons have done nothing to stop them. It is clear to anyone that isn't brainwashed that western weapons have significantly underperformed especially considering their significantly higher costs compared to Russia counterparts. There needs to be a serious review of the entire US military to determine if it could even stand a chance against someone like China with the realities of US weapon underperformance in Ukraine. US odds look bleak against Chinese drone swarms and the US would never be able to manufacture enough to resolve this issue.

>>62881186I was engaging in good faith. But you're obviously a shill. >Man power is irrelevant you can always have more childrenBy all means please tell me Russia's birthrate, and better yet, China's
>>62881186I can tell you're not arguing in good faith so I'm going to call you a nigger.
>>62881203Both Russia and China have already aligned themselves with African nations which have significantly higher birth rates than Western nations. If your plan is to hope that they will run out of people then I'm afraid you will be sorely mistaken.
>>62881224>we’ll just replace our people with niggers after getting them all killed in pointless wars!Sure. Why not?
>>62878660Are Russians conserving their newly build IFV's or is it really over?>>62878671Kek

>>62881258conserving them? they're still losing them in 20s and 30s if not more every day lol
>>62881186This has to be bait. Literally a handful of HIMARS stopped Russia in it's tracks.
>>62878671> Everyone knows everything.A bit of sperging on the subject of "everyone knows everything". First - its supposed to be "everyone understands everything". Second - its not supposed to be used in "pompously optimistic official bs statement", its a reaction phrase of someone somewhat disappointed with bold lies of such statements, but not comfortable with calling it out.As "something bad is happening, information about badthing is widely spreading, but its not acknowledged officially/not spoken about openly/spoken about but not very truthfully/sugarcoated" - then you get situation of OH WELL, EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS EVERYTHING, because duh - everyone involved and not understands everything(how it really is), but is dont want/cant say it aloud. You understand they arent saying the truth, they understand they arent saying the truth, they understand you understand they arent saying the truth, both of you also understand the real situation and both of you understand that saying the truth isnt an option. So, "eh, everyone understands everything, wink-wink" - you are aware that what is said is total bullshit, but you play along.

>Day 997 out of 3
>>62881186>and the supposedly sophisticated western weapons have done nothing to stop themSo since NATO's weapons are completely ineffective, why isn't Russia advancing with IFVs and tanks instead of cars?
>>62881428Better question to ask is why is the 3 day SMO approaching 3 years long and is looking to continue for even longer? As the other anon points out, NATO has done nothing to stop russian advances so does that mean the mighty bear is losing to some backwater country that no one used to give a fuck about?
>>62881499>As the other anon points out, NATO has done nothing to stop russian advancesUkraine has captured more Russian territory and the Russia has captured this year.
>>62881499>why is the 3 day SMO approaching 3 years longBecause NATO hand-me-downs have depleted the Soviet stockpiles reducing Russia to using civilian vehicles.
>>62881506That makes russia look worse and you know how they are about losing face.>>62881515The pro-russian shill would do some roundabout retarded reasoning if you used that
>>62880427>Thing rigged together from opel designs was moskvitch-400/401(its basically pre-war opel kadett), produced immediately after the war.>Pobeda is GAZ, and gaz always, from its beginning as ford turnkey factoryThat is true but they didn't stop with ford, the tech side of the chassis was basically an 1939 opel kapitan, engine was lifted from dodge (they did cut off two cylinders but forgot to switch to metric properly kek), and some details from chevrolet on top>zaz-966 zaporozhetsUnderrated, i really dig the design
>>62878660Ummm actually chud, this is a genius move. Russia is just softening the front with disposable units before the REAL Russian military moves in. Then the ass will be in the ass, the bear will raise the eyebrow, and the crests will understand.
>>62878806If Daddy Drumph does, in fact, saves them how will that make you feel?
>>62881972I don't understand da question. Drumpf didn't save dem.

>>62881972Pretty good since it will trigger every middle power in the world to run a crash nuclear program. Within 10 years there will be a hundred nuclear-armed states. Mistakes and accidental escalations will follow. Eventually someone will finally nuke Russia and we can start again without Russians.
>>62878819The system was profitable for car dealers just outside the borders of soviet union.Auto importers were used to having to QC and tweak cars to match local regulations anyways.>import half finished ladas dirt cheap>finish them locally>get better quality cars than russia could ever make>generate domestic jobs in the process>retail price is still very affordable>the cars are actually very reliableBasically, you buy crude soviet heavy industry products and turn them into consumer-grade goods yourself. Not that different from today.

>>62878710My family (dutch) had a Lada in the early 90s, I still defend it to this day saying that not only was it reliable it also felt like a tank.So makes sense they'd take that route.You think I could take one home after the war?
>>62881428Because they think Putin is a fucking Dragon Blyat Z villain holding back to make it a fair fight and save his strength for the REAL battle>Pssst, not bad banderite, you made me use 10% of my true power level. My next form is still in Russia. Once I achieve it in two weeks, all seven measured eggs will be mine and your Super HATO Warriors won't stand a chance.
It is 2024, the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc are gone and from the ruin emerged the successor state known as the Russian Federation. For four decades now Moscow has attempted to recover its sphere of influence, Russkiy Mir, using every economic, political, military and information weapon available.But hope is fading, at Ukraine the best of the Russian Armed Forces was annihilated while trying a rush against the capital city of Kyiv, Russia uses now waves of infantry taken from their poorest and their minorities, sustained by the ever-diminishing stock of armored vehicles built for a World War, the attackers reinforced by thousands of men from the Third World, promised fortune and revenge against europeans.Enraged, the nations of the West have brought for sanctions against Russia. In Asia the Kremlin has been forced to bargain with the People’s Republic of China its raw resources at a fraction of what europeans once paid to sustain the war, the support from of Iran and North Korea not enough to replace what was lost when Ukraine successfully resisted the initial russian armored assault.Now, as the days drag on the Russian Federation grows desperate, willing to sacrifice more than a thousand souls a day to take over Donbass, the region decimated by industrial warfare and russian callousness, all threats of nuclear annihilation not enough to stop Washington, London and Paris from allowing the Armed Forces of Ukrainian to unleash their most advanced weapons upon russian territory, threatening to halt the offensive and make them lose all their gains. To be a russian today is to live in self-denial, to see all the brutal deaths and the destruction of a future as justified, hoping it would be enough to tire the West, but even that belief cannot elude the humiliating truth, Russia’s fate depends now on the whims of the United States of America, the hegemon of the World. A title Russia will never again be capable to aspire to.
>>62880337Anon, I fear you waited too long and she's no longer topical, we need Lada-chan now.
>>62878669Russian losses last 24 hours and totals personnel is Russians killed and does not include wounded18.11.2024Tanks — 9365 (+15)Armored fighting vehicle — 19059 (+38)Artillery systems — 20586 (+30)MLRS — 1252Anti-aircraft warfare — 999Planes — 369Helicopters — 329UAV — 19073 (+99)Cruise missiles — 2753 (+112)Ships (boats) — 28Submarines — 1Trucks and fuel tankers — 29428 (+107)Special equipment — 3655 (+2)Military personnel — aprx. 722440 people (+1560)>Artillery systems — 20586 (+30)unchanged analysis80.38% of ISS 'themilitarybalance' estimates of 25609 Russian towed and self propelled artillery and mortars, active and reserve Feb 2022 are destroyed approximately 5,023 remain. Also many remaining Russian guns in depots have had their barrels removed to be used as replacements for worn barrels. Russia's chronic vehicle shortage now has a companion chronic artillery shortage, this will begin to leave compromising levels of reduced artillery in portions of the Russian front lines commencing in ~1 days at the attrition rate of the last 12 months. Russia can only use air power and FAB bombs to try and fill the gap, or drastically shorten its lines to retain the same level of artillery cover. I expect it to try and use air power, the consequence will be increased air combat and looses of Russian air frames and an escalating artillery crisis in the Russian forces. There will be an increased mix of begging threats and other PR stunts by the Kremlin to try and get a ceasefire as they have lost this war. Russia will no longer be able to mount any mechanized offensive operations or offensive operation with artillery support (basically all) by spring and Russia will be effectively defenseless against its neighbors if they advance onto Russian territory.Why economic collapse will force Putin to end the warhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxKLaQ1p6os
>>62878660Putin request the military brass to improve tactics to reduce tank losses. So not using tanks is the obvious solution. Officers tier smekalkla 101Can't ran out of tanks of not use tanks
>>62879786Kind of miss early 00s Russia, at least they were trying to be friendly and make themselves a real country for a while. Now you get gulaged if you imply there's anything wrong with glorious Motherland car, so they're back in 1950 or so
>>62878660Pigkraine and NAFO is loosing to THIS? Damn!
>>62879786I think those era of Lada's were also some of the first unibody 4wds made, so how 'rugged' the body was more of a generous nod to the fact it wasn't bending under its own weight.Or it was marginally less flimsy than its sedan cousin, which has all the integrity of a shopping trolley

>>62883214Did you not see the vatniggers in that clip being obliterated, poojeet?
>>62883222I appreciate the visible looming spectre of death bobbing his head in the reflection
>>62883273They tanked that
>>62881186Your entire offensive was stopped with 6 HIMARS trucks.
>>62878941wait, if they lose Ladas, is it counted as Armored fighting vehicle, Trucks and fuel tankers or special equipment?
>>62883394special needs equipment
>>62883222Why didn't they just brake when they saw a slow car on the road?Also I'm not a car guy, does the wild spinning mean it had no anti-lock brakes?
>>62883444Well they did brake, you can see the car starting to slow down and the brake lights come on. >Also I'm not a car guy, does the wild spinning mean it had no anti-lock brakesYou can definitely get that kind of spin even in a car with ABS but in this case you can see the rear tyres lock before the car even spins.
>>62883191B-b-but at least they d-d-don't have pride parades so it is a win!
>>62883222What the fuck. I've never seen someone get physically thrown out of a car like that, except through the windshield. It's like a fucking cartoon.>>62883293Yeah it looks like some analog horror shit
>>62883470>except through the windshieldBecause real cars have a crumple zone. You can see the entire front (and the side when it spins and hits again) getting obliterated
>>62883475They weren't very smart to take a risk like that with such a crappy car.
>>62883486i had the misfortune of driving this piece of shit for a few hours and at 60kmph i was scared for my life. my '02 camry is a fucking godmobile compared to that.
>>62883312>>62881381Not really? They were very useful, arguably amazing at ranged quick response, but like you said there's only 6 of them, their impact while effective per unit is only so high.GLMRS is superior to all other Ukrainian medium range MLRS but it's not the only fire support Ukraine has.Most of the battery towards Russian forces came, arguably comes, from 152mm shells and 122mm rockets.
>>62883489Impact protection even on late 90's and 00's cars is many generations ahead of what stuff made using 60's era vehicle design. Sure it makes cars heavier and we'll never stop complaining about sensors telling us something is a bit fuckywucky, but even tiny little jap cars like a Honda Jazz have some really insane levels of protection. I've seen one of them get clobbered by a speeding Ford Ranger that went blasting through an intersection at about 90km/h, hit the Jazz on the front driver's side quarter. Spun it around, panels everywhere, airbags on bags and the little car ended up on its roof after rolling about 2-3 times.Old lady in itSure she got more arse to mouth pounding action than she'd seen in decades but she was fine.
>>62883504Eh? Ukraine has over 30 of them by now.
>>62883519It's more like 100+. By now. It was 50 or 60 a year ago.
>>62883191* pretending to be friendlyFTFYIn 2004 they had already poisoned a Ukrainian presidential candidate, by 2006 they were doing cyberattacks in the Baltics, and in 2008 they invaded Georgia. Around this time the Lourdes spy base in Cuba was reactivated, too. Monke has always been on the same warpath, testing out how much crap he could get away with to restore the Soviet Empire.
>>62878941>>62883076Doesn't look like Ukraine is winning.
>>62883516If you buy a modern car like a Nissan Pathfinder (extremely common) you have the luxury of knowing NO ONE HAS DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN YOUR CAR.Thousands of accidents, no deaths for the passengers inside. That sounds like a pretty good fucking deal to me, because I'd rather live than die with pockets full of loose change.
>>62878660NATO is afraid of escalating because of THIS?
>>62883654>russian sourcesLol
>>62883470>What the fuck. I've never seen someone get physically thrown out of a car like that, except through the windshield. It's like a fucking cartoon.Not a big fan of russian dashcam videos, i seePeople forget it now, but Russia was the OG liveleak country, before China, partly because of their cars and driving culture
>>62883814I remember watching a dude who went around slapping "I'm an asshole" stickers on cars that kept using the bike lane to beat traffic.In a civilized county we would've put up a sign.
>>62883814>When your main export product is car crash videos
>>62883076How likely is the Russian economy to collapse though? Isn't China backing them indirectly?He clearly went all in on Trump wining the elections, but I'm not sure Trump will give him what he wants from what I've read.I don't post here much, just genuinely curious.
>>62883845The Russian economy is collapsing. It's not an if, it's not a when, it's a "how long will it take before we finally admit it happened, and how long until we fully understand the extent of damages the Russian economy has undergone" kind of deal.They can't trade in Rubles anymore, they have started buying Chinese Yuan to trade with, at an ABSURDLY terrible rate.Russia's economy doesn't even have real money anymore.
>>62883874Ok, but isn't China and Iran helping them somehow?
>>62883882>helpingNot that anon, butYou mistake help for 'selling', anything Russia gets from Iran, China or Norf Korea is paid for in hard currency or valuables like gold. Which is their reserves that back up a lot of things in the economy. They started this war with a chest of about 300bil with 300bil locked up in western countries they can't get out or use.That doesn't last long in a war when you're throwing around million dollar missiles and 4-5million dollar tanks or letting 20million dollar SHORAD systems get towed off by Farmer Boris in his John Deere. The big problem is that the driving force of the economy is crippled, oil sanctions dealt out the big bad dick and what's worse, Russia lied to OPEC about how much it was pumping and selling when they shifted a lot through their shadow fleet.OPEC is probably going to start pumping up product just to 'teach them a lesson' at some point and the infrastructure in Russia, its not doing so good when its on fire
>>62883882Chinese banks started declining payments in yuan, the situation got so bad Russia has to barter for shit
>>62883825I remember that printing meme "Have a Penalty Penis, because you park like a dick" stickers for similar reasons was a thing a long while ago.
