>Read about how technicals are used in all modern wars because of how easy they are to make>Zero technicals in images of the Ukraine and Iran Wars???
Ukraine had a shitload of technicals back in the day, but speed wont save you in full scale war so its all MRAPs and IFVs. Russia has those electric ATVs that get used essentially as technicals, and their performance serves as an object lesson in why its not a relevant concept.
>>65027977Thirdies are too retarded for things such as "fortifications" or "infastructure". This isn't news.
>>65027977>why are there no obvious giant targets in the age of flying landmines
>>65027977Iran's ground forces have been barely engaged and they don't need technicals when they have old US surplus to lean on. As for Ukraine, the Ukrainians again have humvees to do the job better than a technical would, while the Russians technical-ize their old tanks instead.
>>65027977Technicals aren't practical in Ukraine. Unicycles however....
>>65027977Iran is a war of air/missile/drone strikes and the Ukraine war is mostly trench shit. Also why would Ukraine use technicals when they have a shit ton of these to do the same job but bullet proof. Not sure what Russia is using... motorbikes and ladas?
>>65027977>Zero technicals in images of the UkraineLolwut? A lot of territorial defense faggots on both sides use a buttload of technicals, usually for internal security and to shoot down slow flying drones.
>>65027977I fucking loved using these on blood gulch
>>65027977Ukrainian technicals are dedicated to rear line anti-drone interception work. They get word of an incoming shahed wave, drive to a designated point, and man the machine gun. It works surprisingly well.
>>65027977Ukraine is using technicals to shoot down shasneeds. Look up VAMPIRE.
>>65027977why are they called "technicals"
>>65031559Supposedly something to do with grant money for private security on UN missions, ie the money used to hire local gunmen was called technical funds and they would always show up driving trucks with MGs, but I was always told it was simply because their creation was considered unusually technical for the africans militas who popularized the concept.
Have you seen the prices on used Tacomas. I know what I got. No low ballers. At this point it's cheaper to convert military vehicles into light trucks than the opposite
>>65031559>>65031575allegedly charity ops in Africa had to pay for mercenaries equipped with these makeshift Toyota APCs, whether because they needed the security or because they were extorted, and since it would be difficult for these charities to explain how much they were paying for security / extortion, the expenses were marked as "technical assistance"who knows how true this is? most nicknames originate from memes anyway>>65027977>technicals are used in all modern wars[citation needed]
>technicals>russiabuhankas are what you get and what you will continue to getthere are ZERO US style trucks in russiarussian technicals are physically impossible
>>65031622I was hoping to buy one earlier this year but yeah the prices were insane. Also thanks 4chan for reminding me it’s April Fools Day
>>65028182Buggies, Lada Ulans and a new type unironically called Sarmat-2.Oh and the usual assortment of Buhankas.
To celebrate OP being an idiot this is now a Ukraine war technicals thread.
I've always liked this one.
>>65031928>>65031931Lol, beat me to it.
>>65027977Ukraine has an entire network of SHORAD technicals operating as part of its IADS, I've seen pictures of them on this board before but dont have any myselfAs for Iran, we wont see Iranian technicals until the ground operations start but I expect there to be regular (if brief) sightings over the ensuing multi-decade counterinsurgency effort
>>65031930>BMW-21 MRLS
>>65031933OK what the fuck is thisare you supposed to lure all the Russians in close and then fire it so the cables whip around and decapitate them?
>>65031936This is from a test range but they are in service as "Vampire".
>>65031947Looks like a camera on a mask, lower cost version of this.
>>65031955could also be one of those audio sensors I've been hearing about. Apparently the ukies are operating a vast, dispersed network of audio sensors to detect the sound of incoming drones as an early warning measureI cant help but wonder if a similar network of sensors affixed to USVs might be of some use in the Gulf, especially when combined with SHORAD equipped fast boats
>>65031979Yeah, I read about them awhile ago but haven't see one yet. Ukies might be keeping a lid on it to make it harder for the ziggers to copy.
>>65031979>>65031984just google it, tards
>>65032114I wonder if there's a way to calculate how many people get killed/injured by the random bits of ordnance fucked into the air by celebrating Arabs
>>65028000Well, somewhat but not entirely. A lot of it is also for guerrilla warfare, take Libya for an example. They used technicals not due to stupidity, but because they had no heavy military equipment until much later in the revolution against Qaddafi.They are an exceptional way to provide fire support for infantry if you have no actual heavy military vehicles.
