More penthouse cuck chairs.
From my experience playing Ace Combat and other fighter games these SAMs are the first to get blown up.
>>65213813>1 helicopter does the work while the other watchesWhy?
>>65213813>is putting them that high make them more effective?Its a huge mystery. What could be the benefits of a clear horizon for at system relying on radar?
From on so very highThe air cuckold 'ere can spyTargets far and wide
>>65213813i hate to be that guy, but how do you reload them?airlift ammo? manhandle rockets in the residential elevator? stockpile it on the roof?each option sounds like a recipe for disaster
>>65213942Cool breeze stirs desireNew heights of pleasure at nightDrones gentle explosions

>>65213813Isn't there something wrong about this by effectively making your own civilian residences into legitimate targets? What's the legality of this?
>>65213943Conscripts carry one at a time up the stairs
>>65214022>work sent me to china for a conference many years ago when there was a rash of stories of people getting stuck in elevators until they died>decide to take the stairs at my hotel>everything was fine for the first 3 floors >then the safety railing was gone>then the lighting and floor signs were gone>should turn back, but I'm almost at my floor >a section of stairs was gone>turn back around and try to exit at the first door>it's locked>so are all the other doors except at the ground floor>take the elevator in defeati wonder how russian stairs are like
>>65213829>missiles being shot towards the groundIt was an unarmed drone. Just flying over the crowds in Red Square. Way to go, assholes.
>>65214051I bet they are bad, but nobody cheat as badly with construction as the Chinese.
>>65214051
>>65214051if it's Soviet era, it will be dirty as fuck but it will also be structurally sound. although, the chances of you getting raped in the stairwell will be significantly high
>>65213908You are not of understanding Russian matryoshka cuckture.You see comrade, the air defence cuck needs his own cuck to watch over him while he is most vulnerable. There is risk of climax missed if the air defence is destroyed while nobody watches.
>>65214121Thats the perfect stairwell for carrying up medium to small rockets.
>>65213813Not gonna lie, seeing those giant helicopters at work makes me hard. Such majestic machines. A shame nobody cared to go that big on this side of the iron curtain.
>>65214274What the fuck do you call this, a giant dragonfly?
>>65214293Mi26 is rather large, sufficiently so that the US has hired a privately owned one to recover Chinooks on more than one occasion.
>>65213813you need them high because you don't want to be caught with your pantsir down
>>65214307These were cute in their day.
>>65213908The helicopter with the Pantsir-SMD-e lifts, the helicopter without the Pantsir-SMD-e follows.
>>65214293Skycranes are cool and all, but they don't come even close to the scale of a Mi-26.
>>65213921tbf that huge platform blocks a pretty big area below the tower.
>>65214467Having a larger deadzone doesn't matter when it pushes out your max range. Its a weapon that works better the farther out the target it.
>>65214274am I a joke to you?>>65214476Yes, but ground clutter is a thing and these targets are pretty tiny, and I'm moreso commenting on it being a worse choice than something like this tower >>65213899
>>65214151macrame casing??
>>65214051Fuuuuck. You got the next Backrooms™ movie idea right there. Sell this idea to A24 right now! Call it the Stair Well™
>>65214634Hollywood won't touch it because they depend on Chinese money.
>>65214293>What the fuck do you call this, a giant dragonfly?That's clearly a housefly.
>>65214943CARLOS!
>>65214274
>>65214274I love the Mi-26
>>65213908Chechen barrier troops
>>65214021Since when has monke given a single fuck about casualties on either side? If anything if they get attacked it'll just feed into his victimhood that Ukraine are terrorst for attacking military targets when it's perfectly legitimate for monke to bomb civilan residential houses.
>russia s know fornbuilding cheap military shit>Still cant be bothered to mass produce manpads and fire control systems for machineguns They are asking to get droned,You only need a jet with radar to know were the drones are headed and some Guys with machineguns and manpads on light fast vehicles to intercept them
>>65215298>don't you ever talk to me or my son ever again
>>65215396>fire control systems for machinegunsThey're trying their best.
>>65215396>>65215401
>>65215405>the crosshair is fixed on the support frameThis is cargo cult tier
>>65215409Note the logo in the corner.This is a propaganda video formally published by the russian ministry of defense, meaning that like a hundred ziggers had to watch the video and give their stamp of approval before it was published. Evidently, none of them saw the glaringly obvious issue with the sight.
>>65213813Helico airlifting is cool
>>65215409There was another where it was a pc fan cover
>>65213813>Muh anti-droneCan we fucking stop it already with these cancerous drone designations because nobody knows what in the cancerfuck we're talking about anymore. >small factor cruise missilesFor everything Dorito sized and smaller which are just next generation mostly prop powered self-destructing warhead carriers>quadcopter and drone munitionsFor all the shit juryrigged with conventional warheads and directly piloted by some radio link and not meant to travel anything in excess of 25km.

>>65213942E're above drone flyBeyond ground belowThe cuckold spies
>>65215427I'll be honest, it's kind of a good idea because it still gives somewhat of a consistent visual reference regardless of direction and position, although I'd have cut some rings to make it less obstructive.
>>65214634Isn't that one of the OG SCP short stories?
so what happens if the drones are flying low?
>>65215409It's not like it matters. It's not even properly centered. What makes you think it is zero'd at all?
>>65215550It's not even on straight, centering is the least of their issues
>>65215405>have to constantly fight the springs pulling downfor what purpose?
>>65215557Might be a bodge because the fucked up the balance on the mount.Just look how far forward the hinge point is, the whole setup is ludicrously tail-heavy.Which would mean they failed at a basic task of building a neutrally balanced gun mount, a technology that has been well understood and established since at least the early 1700s. Pic rel.
>>65213942>Targets far and wideCan it really get a target lock though...
>>65213899>>65213813gonna use these vids as pressure on the broken arrow devs to let me air drop in my HIMAD
>>65213813Seems sensible enough, provides good line of sight for the radar and lessens the risk of sams slamming into tall buildings.
>>65213943Window clearing platforms fitted to the roof of pretty much every tower on earth can carry several tons, also >>65214022
>>65213813>>65213899>mi-26kino
>>65213899Ok, all cuckery asside, that is a big mommy helo, holy fucking shit.
>>65216147Because places like Siberia are pretty much inaccesable by land the Soviets focused on huge choppers to transport construction materials.It's one of the few areas they had more capability than the west.
>>65216168>Because places like Siberia are pretty much inaccesable by land the Soviets focused on huge choppers to transport construction materials.More specifically, the Soviets built these heavy lift helicopters to transport ballistic missiles to their launch sites in the middle of nowhere Siberia because there were no roads out there, the missiles were too fragile for the bumpy 19th century russian rail system, and using conventional fixed wing cargo aircraft would have required them to build runways next to the missile silos they were trying to keep hidden.The US never had a legitimate need to burn hundreds of millions of dollars developing giant cargo helicopters, so they simply never built any.
>>65213899Damn that thing is huge
>>65216355You won't believe the number of completely expendable russians you can fit into one of these things!
>>65216407>20 guys survived thatThe chopper was probably stuffed so full of guys that they formed a protective flesh buffer for those few lucky ones.
>>65216418>The chopper was probably stuffed so full of guys that they formed a protective flesh buffer for those few lucky ones.Might actually be some truth to that, it was loaded with far more passengers than it was rated to carry.The cherry on top of the shit sundae was that it crashed into a fucking minefield, probably because god hates russians and created them to suffer and die for his amusement.
>>65215550>>65215556even if it's not zero'd something that moved with the guns would at least give some kind of reference, that "sight" is literally static.
>>65213813>>65213899How funny would it have been if the cable snapped and the pantsir crashed through the bulding?
>>65214021It’s called the Palestinian strategy. Put weapons in civilian infrastructure and then concern troll westerners over your dead.
>>65215298>you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about
>>65214021The alternative would be to build dedicated flak towers. That might be too expensive or there might be no space in the first place. Either way, if they placed AA there it means they kinda expect the area to be a potential target. From what we know Ukraine doesn't do strategic/terror bombing, at least not like the Russian do, so there's good reason to infer the Russians are trying to protect something military or something with strategic value, like Putin's villa or something, so the calculus is probably not favorable to the individual civilian structure. That said, since Ukrainians are not Israeli, it's unlikely they'll demolish the whole tower when they can just destroy the emplacement on top of it.
>>65213908Cuck things.
Where is this AD being moved from?
>>65213908Standard working practice. One man goes up the ladder while the other makes sure he's safe.
