if you have to source your war machines from DPRK… you might be losing
Russia is not loosing. This is just part of the 5D chess Putin is playing. Any minute he will make his master move and conquer Ukraine, destroy NATO and fingerbang your dad. Just wait. You’ll see.
Kyiv in 3 days!
Jokes on you, my dad behaves like he is already being fingerbanged by Putler.
That’s the problem. This is an old school war. If Russia can keep moving the front lines the correct direction them nothing else matters. I don’t say this because I like Russia but because it shows how much more support we need to be giving Ukraine. The manpower difference is something like 4 to 1. The casualty ratio is something like 3 to 1 which is high but within Russian standards. If nothing changes Russia will win this in another few years.
There’s a lot of truth to that unfortunately. Historically, Russia has shown many times that any number of casualties is acceptable .
If all that they have to continue throwing at this war is casualties, Ukraine has already won. Russia may have plenty of meat left but they do not have equipment left. And no war, especially a modern one, is going to be won without equipment and vehicles. Ukraine has NATO support behind them and Russia has… North Korea, maybe China if they’re feeling charitable that day.
Official and recognized military taxonomists insist that a vehicle doesn’t count as a tank unless it’s classified manuals and specs have been leaked in the World of Tanks forums.
*Warthunder
I’m sure there is a difference between warthunder and world of tanks. Next time I’m flying DCS, I’ll ask around if anybody has kids that play them.
Well, the main difference is Warthunder is the place where the classified stuff is being leaked

It’s not a tank unless it comes from the Tank region of France. Otherwise it’s a sparkling armored vehicle.
How far will they go before completely shaking apart? In meters?
Meters plural? Aren’t you optimistic.
I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.
There’s always intertia
They may not be that bad. 7 cylinder engines with 5 valves per engine. Front engine, camshaft at the trunk. Revolutionary
Technically the Bulsae-4 is an anti-tank missile carrier. Basically 8 TOW missiles on a wheeled BTR.
English source:
They’re probably extremely vulnerable to Ukrainian drone strikes.
Those don’t even look like tanks. Bad author. (OP’s author, this article is better.)
What should I change the title too?
Armored vehicles is probably a safe bet since that’s a big catch all term
done :)
I love the post-reddit era, where titles can be changed if they are not correct!
You had me in the first half, but the second is icing on the cake.
You shouldn’t.
Community rule #1 states the title must match the headline.
That rule is as rubbish as most headlines though
Western journalists when any vehicle has the slightest amount of armour: it’s a tank!
Anyway, this is sad and hilarious. The “second-best military in the world”, everyone!
AR-15:Rifle::Tank:Armored Vehicle
“Panzer” is a general term in German, meaning armoured vehicle, not limited to main battle tanks (Kampfpanzer) mistranslations are thus exceedingly common.
This in particular is a Raketenjagdpanzer meaning a Jagdpanzer (hunting tank) armed with missiles, not to be confused with the more general category Panzerjäger (tank hunter) which is any vehicle that hunts tanks, not just armoured ones, and not just ground vehicles, and not just vehicles but also units. That is, Jagdpanzer are Panzerjäger which are themselves Panzer.
Some Anglos also get their standard issue underwear in a twist if you call the Gepard a flak tank – that’s quite literally its official designation in German: Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard, short FlakPz Gepard, more or less literally “flight offwarding cannon tank”. An “Infantry fighting vehicle”, fuzzy term if I’ve ever seen one (in Ukraine that can mean a Hillux) is a Schützenpanzer, “marksmen tank”.
IMO those translation errors shouldn’t be corrected, they can only clean up English terminology.
Reported as “subject doesn’t match headline”, however since this case is a subject of translation and there may be variations in translation software, I’ll allow it.
Happy cake day
Thanks! Can’t believe it’s been a year since reddit imploded! 15 years there, walked away, never looked back!
It was 13 for me. My cake day was a month ago. Goodbye to Reddit forever as far as I’m concerned. I didn’t even get an IPO offer despite being a “power user,” probably because I changed my profile to say “FUCK REDDIT!” and gave lemmy.world’s URL.
I shut down every subreddit I modded permanently and was publicly screaming “fuck reddit” and “fuck spez” until the last minute.
Still got an IPO invite I ignored and even a mod meetup invite
Huh. I wonder why I didn’t?
I don’t really care since I wouldn’t have taken up their stupid offer, but I’m curious now.
I assumed they sent it to everyone, even my old reddit account with only 2000 karma got it
And even if i wanted, being not a us resident i couldn’t even actually get it
Were there also NK soldiers? Or they just gave them the vehicles?

If you have any questions or comments about me, you can make a post to LW Support lemmy community.Well they are using NATO weapons against Russia so alls fair.
Sending weapons to help defend against an illegal Invasion and genocide is different from supporting an illegal Invasion and genocide. Should Sweden have sent weapons to Germany in 1941 after the US started sending weapons to the UK?
I would really like a better source than the sensationalist garbage that is Der Spiegel.
Your opinion seems to be at odds with https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/spiegel-online/
Uh oh. I messed up. Was thinking about Bild.
