@Usama_Backhair@Blue_Sauron why sustained fire? burst fire would also work, the mass in this case may help with recoil, which could be why they chose this over something lighter.
@PutinHasNoPenis@Colin1866 @SecDef The US is providing some money, to help Ukraine keep their government running (not a lot of taxes coming in) and pay troops, but mostly its stockpile
@Colin1866 @SecDef most of the equipment is stuff that's been sitting in storage costing money to maintain, effectively sending it to be used SAVES money.
@Bigserb1389@1MGGROHAN@DefenceU we have weapons that just cost money being maintained in storage they have a reason to use them and Neither the US nor Ukraine are fans of Russia, its a win-win scenario.
@OfcolorPerson @MarcusFL9@DestructivePol1@DefenceU no the biolab is a hoax, there was a class 3/4 containment facility, anything that could be weaponized would be in a class 5,
@MarcusFL9 @OfcolorPerson @DestructivePol1@DefenceU also history rhymes, dozens of times what is now Russia, has invaded smaller but wealthier (at least per capita) nations that may or may not have Russian speakers insisting that the people taking up arms and resisting REALLY want to be Russians.
@OfcolorPerson @MarcusFL9@DestructivePol1@DefenceU no Russia did it because Russia doesn't like a neighbor with greener grass that speaks a similar enough language to make their people question the Kremlin, This has been true for centuries, Russia sees smaller neighbor with healthier economy, Russia invades it.
@sobi28080926@johnoneillfla@jadenhochhh@UAWeapons now it is, no way to know if it was when the grenade went in, shrapnel in an enclosed environment with really hard surfaces will ricochet, lots of munitions actually count on the armor it hits spalling and causing a similar effect.
@jadenhochhh@UAWeapons either it was abandoned, and the grenade made sure it stays abandoned, or it wasn't, and they were all killed by shrapnel and ricochet
@QoqoBulos@UAWeapons unless it's blown up it can keep firing its a remote gun on wheels, the wheels aren't remote, but it's still useful for rear echelon forces, the good stuff goes to the proper military, these are what Russia will face if they make it into cities,
