Sounds like they're running out of shit, man.

Can you guys keep one whole for me? They look neet?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

If you get one yourself, they will let you keep it:

Reports about two months ago were that they had effectively emptied the enormous Soviet stockpile of usable kit.

Apparently not lol

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 9 points 1 month ago

The timeline of the war:

  • Russia will never invade, relax.
  • Oh no, but they will go home once they feel resistance.
  • Their supply lines are a joke, they'll go home in a week.
  • Their soldiers are surrendering, now they'll go home for sure!
  • Russia lost all of their tanks, going home is inevitable.
  • Russia has spent all of its artillery, time to go home finally.
  • Hundreds of thousands of Russians are dead, can't fight a war without soldiers, go home already.
  • Soviet stockpiles are long gone, haha, time to go home.

And yet here we are.

It's time to realise that these reports are full of shit. We can't make Russia stop this war by laughs and memes.

Other than indoctrination, what is stopping Russian soldiers from defecting at this point.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

barrier troops to prevent desertion, they have used this since ww2.

[–] thijsje@social.vivaldi.net 8 points 1 month ago

@Neverclear @LaFinlandia Blocking units. Repraissels against their family back home. Drugs and Vodka.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Nothing, there are defectprs but they're being reported as dead so their families aren't punished.

[–] gressen@lemm.ee 24 points 1 month ago

Officers pointing guns at their back.

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago (3 children)

How long until they bring back horse cavalry? Maybe Horse archers?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

think they can afford and train archers on horses.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

A few more turns and we'll start seeing spearmen.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Aren't they already using pack mules for transporting things in some fronts?

[–] PhatalFlaw@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yeah, but not for their primary offensive operations.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Slap an AGL on that bad burro and you got yourself a hay-powered Stryker.

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But it that's what they were for, would they tell us? You didn't see an assault camel because they don't exist.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

You didn’t see an assault camel because they don’t exist.

That's what the CIA wants you to think!

[–] PhatalFlaw@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Certainly not, and not in hardly any terrain other than mountains

[–] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Aw, I wanted to buy one of these some day. Wont be any left pretty soon.

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you can salvage enough of the blown-up ones, you can make your own.

[–] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Kit car GAZ69s to fund raise when?

[–] AJ1@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago

those are classics, man! now they're all gonna get blown up by drones. what a shame. that truck in the background would make a sweet trail rig. I love those old Soviet era trucks

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 69 points 1 month ago (2 children)

55hp, 3 speed gearbox, 90km/h top speed and four wheel drive.

Not bad for a car over 50 years old.

Lol, holy hell.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Would you rather be in one of these or one of those Chinese ATVs we've seen?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

You know what? I prefer being at home not invading anyone.

Both the GAZ-69 and the Chinese golf cart will have you killed so it doesn't really matter which one you chose IMO. Seing the sky a last time in the golf cart?

Knowing old cars id say one of these, I've seen someone fix a Fiat Polski shifter with plastic bottle.

Probably runs better than what Russia makes these days tbh

[–] gamer@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

Damn, imagine being a Russian soldier and they tell you to drive into the frontline in one of these. Your legacy will be that you died for the noble cause of clearing space in the warehouse for newer equipment.

Just complete cuckery.
