>>65461154Didn't need that part anyway.
>>65461156fuel is stored in the wings, snd they have shortage of fuel, so you are not wrong
Always wondered what the maintenance is like on these things. The airframes are really old and Russia rides them pretty hard but they just seem to keep on trucking.
>>65461187Plane of Theseus. But even with constant replacements you need extreme high quality standards to keep up a high tempo. Sooner or later, fatigue sets in (material or organizational)
>>65461187Throw enough time, money and parts at something it'll keep working. But still, they first flew over 70 years ago and its a very long time to keep something going, even something simple like a truck or tractor is very hard to keep going that long, its not impossible but you tend to be finding something newer and easier to live with if you can
I wonder if too much tire armor has been added.
>>65461187Everything Ive seen from the past few years is Russia will ride an airframe until literally breaks in half. There was a time they were doing multiple Khinzal sorties a day until Mig-31s started falling out of the sky forced them to slow down
Isn't this over a month old? Not trying to go 'who cares' since it's funny but I had hope it was a new hit.
>>65461154>put me in coach!
>>65461154can someone explain how russia is able to keep up this war despite EVERYTHING we've seen. Tank/plane/soldier/drone/wildberries/inventory/generals/politicans etcWhile America fights a month long war with iran just flinging missiles and they're all tapped out? where is the ground invasion? where is the kicking ass? why the fuck isn't america fairing better than fucking russia?
>>65461163>fuel is stored in the wingssure, and pee is stored in the balls
>>65461262ziggerstan's strategy has been unchanged ever since the mongols forced their new slaves to serve as arrowfodder by pushing the siege equipment to the next city in line."just send in the next wave"They are completely immune to any morality or politics of sending countless men into the meat grinder on a whim. The tsar commands, the cattle obeys.
>>65461262Probably because its not right next door and piss poor planning gets piss poor resultsYou might not have noticed but most of the US needs some adult supervision to wrangle the retards in their office right now
>>65461262They've lost more people than WW1 and will continue until someone tells them to stop.Everyone is happy except those that aren't. Those that aren't get a trip to Ukraine.
>>65461262Day 1647 of Operation Epic Fury - The US is clearly winningUS forces have liberated another 2 villages this week despite delusional Iranian propaganda claiming that flag-planting is "not a legitimate proof of territorial control"President Donald J. Trump has extended the deadline to liberate Zahedan, which he confirmed was liberated by US forces in November 2030, to June 2031. Meanwhile, ISW and Polymarket are still in denial and continue to pretend like the city is still under Iranian control.Iran's frontline is collapsing. Sistan-Baluchestan will most likely be liberated by mid-2031 max and from there on out it's just open fields to Tehran. The US army is unstoppable, Iran hasn't won a single battle since 2026 and has been running out of men for the past 4.5 years. An American victory is inevitable and the Tehran regime refusing to surrender will result in nothing but more deaths and destruction of Iranian cities.The desperate Ayatollah has resorted to terrorist attacks targeting American oil refineries and Amazon warehouses. Unfortunately, intercepted Iranian drone debris has caused some negligible damages which are in no way related to the stock market collapse and miles-long multi-day lines at American gas stations.The US army is sending an appropriate retaliatory response to these ineffective attacks by striking IRGC supermarkets and military kindergartens. Iran will continue to burn until the Iranians finally come to their senses and let the US place them firmly within the American sphere of influence where they belong.Iran shouldn't have poked the eagle. To a geopolitically illiterate person, it might look like the US is chimping out at Iranian cities and civilians because it can't win on the battlefield, but in reality this is a genius strategy by America to deplete Russia and China of all their weapons stockpiles and drive them to bankruptcy which will definitely happen in two more years for sure this time.God bless America.
>>65461262>While America fights a month long war with iran just flinging missiles and they're all tapped out? where is the ground invasion? where is the kicking ass? why the fuck isn't america fairing better than fucking russia?Would you honestly prefer this? >>65461312
>>65461312The mention of Polymarket made me wonder what will happen if due to insider trading, AI algos, and gov. Market manipulation that more and more capitalization goes into prediction markets which are at least somewhat more transparent and less into the DOW and NASDAQ. Which would have the odd effect of potentially forcing lawmakers presidents etc to pursue a course of action because otherwise the economy will crash. Weird to think about
I have half-a-mind to gamble on this.
>>65461154>It'll buff out
>>65461233I believe the AMRAAMs and F-16s Ukraine was given had something to do with that
>>65461332>it sharted
>>65461334Nah, that crap is launched from pretty far away, they literally had planes started to disintegrate due to usage and bad workmanship
>>65461332How many bombers and fighters did iranny managed to destrou after firing 2000 missiles again seething tranny? 1? How many did russia lost? Hard to count, should be approaching thousands soon
>>65461334Nah, this was like late 2023 early 2024 when it was happening
>>65461262Maybe the curtains are just blue and the US just isn't the superpower it used to be, that in addition to the asymmetry of warfare introduced by expendable drones, they give smaller powers like Iran and Ukraine a massive force multiplier like nothing before, they can return some fire on a strategic scale, not just tactical guerilla warfare like you had in Afghanistan or post-invasion Iraq. The US is avoiding zigger levels of losses in flesh only because it expanded a gigantic quantity of precious stand-off stockpiles.
>>65461359>Getting this assblasted by a single pic
>>65461262Zegroids are fighting for the continuation of the muscovite empire. They are throwing in it everything they have until they are bankrupt US has no political will to fight the ayazuttahs in the persian gulf. So they give up immediately as soon there was no instant, easy Venezuela style win
>>65461262because they are a suicidal death cult that's going to cause their people to go extinct, they're that servile.
>>65461262america is fairing significantly better than russia LMAO, are you delusional?every comparison between the complete shitfest that russia caused and the boondoggle that's barely done any damage to the US is incredibly forced.
>>65461312completely delusional zigger fantasy lmao.you and the US are not the same, sorry.
>Photos from two different airfields.
>>65461262>how russia is able to keep up this war despite EVERYTHING we've seenRussia has a huge inventory and is at the behest of one man>While America fights a month long war with iran just flinging missiles and they're all tapped out?Because no one knows why the war started to begin with. And despite what everyone is saying, Trump still needs support from his Republicans to maintain the conflict. And the majority of the American public has Mid-East fatigue.
>>65461262the US is like a vulture (or eagle)everyone knows just keep fighting and they'll go away
>>65461328Thiel and Co are trying to replace representative elective democracy as the driver of governance with prediction markets.Keep thinking, you might strike big for yourself.
>>65461267You mean it's not?
>>65461439>gibberishI'm suprised these apes can even wipe thier own asses.
>what about America/Iran
>>65461336>70-year-old frame has become incontinentThis is why I wanted to move him to a home. They'll take better care of him there.
>>65461267>sure, and pee is stored in the ballsHm? Farts are stored in the buttocks, so why wouldnt pee be stored in the balls? I've studied medicine at Scambridge university in Ingerland.
>>65461573>somehow the fronts haven't moved a single meter in the past two yearsWhich obviously means russia is winning. Am I right, zister?
>>65461262The Russian ability to take suffering and failure is legendary. That's what their entire history has been. As long as it isn't as utterly devastating as WW2, they'll keep taking it on the chin because they've had it worse.
>>65461262Putin is a talisman, not a person. As far as the polity of Russia is concerned, anyway.The war will continue until such time he is dead. Years later, decades later, etc. I do not envy his successor, who will be seen as just a mortal man, fallible, and a failure.
>>65461154It's fine. Just cut the other wing equally. You'll lose some turning ability but gain speed.
>>65461425Yes, the shitskin loving redditors really are that delusional.
>>65461597He'll get the blame after he's dead.
>>65461312>US taking more casulties than IranThat's just delusional.
>>65461262Russia is a Bear.America is an Eagle.The Bear wrestles to the death.The Eagle flys away if the fight is getting too long.
>>65461751My brown friend, you have considered reading? About it being 2031 and such? It's a fuckin' joke.
>>65461729They really run their country like a bpd chick.
>>65461769Russia is a rabid coon at best
>>65461573um... if the front doesnt move isnt that a good think for the defender ? >>65461262money/oil industry insight, you can run wells for very cheap for years. but maintenance and investment cost rise. you need to open up new wells and refrac and stimulate old shit. this cost is added on top of the oil. if you dont do that you build future debt but can sell for high profit today. Satellite images etc do show that russia is doing this. its like earning money driving uber but ignoring the equity you're burning by using up your car. or printing money to pay for shit, you build future debt.
>>65461597>>65461729I find it kind of ironic that even from the zigger stance it is absolutely in their interest to ACK him ASAP. Since the grim reaper does not seem to be interesting in him yet, by force if necessary. He is dead set on dragging everybody into the grave with him, right next to his beloved pidor union Its kind of sad, but also amusing, how much damage a single aging tyrant can do left completely unchecked. Only thing he really can do to become even worse then he is now is to nook-ook (for real). Alas there is simply no will to remove him, both on the zigger as well as effeminate western side, since everybody has been completely acclimated to his never ending lordship after a quarter of century of Monke
>>65461262The US is struggling with cheap missile and drone spam but isn't retarded enough to commit when they don't have an unfair advantage. The only people I see wanting a ground operation in Iran are butthurt ziggers/IRGC shills desperate to see dead Americans and the last few remaining MAGAboomer evangelicals.
>>65461429>>65461751how do people like this exist?
>>65461154To be fair it has only one engine (rightmost). It is a graveyard hull used as decoy. Fighterbomber is gloating btw - he was livid when the rear fell of on the previous one.
>>65462262>commit when they don't have an unfair advantage.Haha, brownie wants a fair fight!
>>65462456>decoyGood one, very nice.
>>65461154>98% AD success rate>damn pigeons
>>65462456>graveyard hull used as decoyMore like for parts.
>>65461729I can see, in Russia's efforts to divide and polarize Americans, echoes of this mindset, in which they attempt to depict every American president as a traitor / ineffectual, and encourage both parties to undo all the work of the previous incumbent out of spite.I feel very strongly that Russia's eventual annihilation will lead to a great unification of the American people.
>>65461376>massive force multiplier wouldn't it be a simple force addition? othereise the larger force would always benefit more from the same multiplier
>>65461206pocket the money, sell the parts, and spend your time drinking instead
>>65461262Bruh, America is fighting a highly limited war on the other side of the globe and has managed to skullfuck Iran's conventional military capacity, what was left of its economy, and its command structure to the point that Iran's entire current strategy is to launch drones at commercial shipping to skyrocket insurance rates and hope the USA runs out of bombs. Russia is fighting the second-poorest country in Europe armed with NATO hand-me-downs, racing drones with grenades taped to them, and V1 rockets, and somehow managed to wind up a North Korean client state because of it.
>>65461154I want to see Tu160's targeted and hit. Ukraine should be repeating Operation Spiderweb on the regular, but a simpler, more numerous, and smaller scales. They should have agents inside russia release a few kms away from military airfields small vans full of small drones equipped with INS and AI programmed to identify and hit aircraft once they reach the area of their destination. The drones should be launch and forget. They can though have a preselected launch point and even a flight path to the targeted airfield preprogrammed in them to make navigation simpler and easier. Time of launches should selected when more aircraft are believed to be there on the ground and outside.
>>65463210Start drinking, go to work, look at 70 years of ham fisted nut fucking that's happened to the aircraft, drink some more and go home to keep drinking
>>65461312>*we lost in Ukraine, so I will literally made up fan fiction about events 5 years in future so I can pretend that we are winn.. well at least that the West is losing too*lol
>>65461600>t.aeronautical engineer
>>65463236Ukraine apparently decided to only target planes that puccia uses to launch missiles at Ukraine, so I guess the 160s are safe for now.
>>65463278>Ukraine apparently decided to only target planes that puccia uses to launch missiles at UkraineThey are very fair and balanced defenders! They only attack the aggressors in the sword areas!
>>65463278From what I remember of the post-Spider's Web orgy of news and analysis coverage on Russia's bomber fleet, Russia immediately started using Tu-160's to launch cruise missiles at Kyiv. So they are fair targets.
>>65463281Whatever, my dude. You seem mad.I just stated their apparent choice of targets, and it is quite a deliberate one. The Tu-160s will rot on the apron in a few years, anyway.
>>65463291I guess the other part of why they avoided the Tu-160s is that they coudl train their AI on their own museum pieces.
>>65463410>mad>not ironicLighten up, Francis.
>>65461262Russians would rather bleed and suffer endlessly as long as they get to menace the west vaguely Americans just want to live normal lives. Also a large 5th column of Muslim worshippers on both the far left and far right in the US. US suffered no meaningful losses and like a 30 cent price hike in gas
>>65461262>America is still technically beholden to it's population >Despite culture war bullshit, everyone and their fucking grandma hates the Iran war and wants Trump to stop. Boots on the ground would all but guarantee republicucks lose every house and senate seat, as well as the presidency come 2028>Russia has no such obligations>They can piss away their young population, economy, and military and the population is too cucked to do anything about itUltimately comes down to slav mindset. Iran war is NOT popular. Ukraine war isn't popular but saying you don't like it gets you neo-gulag'd.
>>65461262>biggest country on earth, so lots of inertia>zero expectations of anything going well, so can stomach atrocious shit that'd mean wholesale rebellion in any western country>death cult, so getting killed is cool and a good thing and you're a faggot if you don't>hard censorship, so much less information about how bad it is leaks to normies and they have fewer safe ways to talk about itBasically, it'll be somewhat OK until it can't, they'll paint over the mold on the walls and the patient will keep walking and talking right until he collapses and dies from """sudden onset""" multiple organ failure.
>>65461597>I do not envy his successor, who will be seen as just a mortal man, fallible, and a failure.What do you mean, anon? Putin was corrupt to the core, a swindler, a thief and a wrecker, he almost destroyed Mother Russia! - Rusian president Ivan Pidorovich in a few years, probably
>>65462243>Alas there is simply no will to remove himWhy would I want to? He's doing a great job running Russia into the ground. Here's to a successful defederation!
>>65461262its a homosexual death cult
>>65461262America is fighting with one hand bahind its back (no use of army or marines in ground or amphibious operations, no targeting critical infrastructure), and also lacks the political will to follow through or risk sacrificing any men (compare US deaths vs Russian deaths). They were hoping for a quick win, but muslims are suicidal fanatics who would rather die than surrender unlike the inhabitants of VenezuelaIts an apples to oranges comparison. Pic unrelated
>>65461262In the US, gas going up 30% caused people to complain and post online about how it's bad and protests and stuff. If the US actually lost important stuff or got hit hard with costs across the board, the people wouldn't stand for it.In Russia, they've had centuries of>Russians are stronger than everybody else.>Russians prove this strength by dealing with less. This proves our strength.>Russians are better than the decadent West that has food, water and luxuries. We Russians do not need these. We are better.So when you've had it drilled into your head that a communal heating system and outhouses and lack of luxuries or specific goods is actually good, when you get hit by a war that impacts what little you do have... Nobody cares. Oh... I don't get to eat some Swiss chocolate... Oh well. I didn't need it anyway, decadent.As long as map is painted red and Putin gets what he wants, any suffering and any level of loss is acceptable. As long as the Wiki page says>Ukraine War>Result: Russian Victory; See Treaty of BudapestThe fact there is millions of dead and thousands of lost vehicles and billion upon billions of economical losses and even more in repairing the territory they got, they don't care. That's not 'their' problem. The wiki page says 'Victory' and that's all they need. Nuance is irrelevant.
>>65465249>The fact there is millions of dead and thousands of lost vehicles and billion upon billions of economical losses and even more in repairing the territory they got, they don't care. That's not 'their' problem. The wiki page says 'Victory' and that's all they need. Nuance is irrelevant.They're on their way to be China's raw materials outpost.Not even Russians will be able to doublethink their way out of this one.
>>65461262>why the fuck isn't america fairing better than fucking russia?They are.>where is the ground invasion? Americans have real elections.
>>65463259anon I get you're easily asshurt but the point of these posts it to show how disastrous and stupid russia's war has been so far, usually the comparison is between the US and mexico.
>>65465608You underestimate the power of centuries of dysgenic selection for servility in producing the perfect cattle-slave race.What they can not explain away, they will ignore. And when confronted with evidence, they will attack whoever brought it up.
>>65461262It is kind of funny how Russians are willing to just suffer endlessly for no reason to avoid the optics of humiliation.This 1 video, dropped like a week into Putin's forever war, would have ended the current US administration
