Dave-G Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 I've seen news footage of large tracked vehicles firing two short range explosive devices with cables trailing from them, they were purportedly in Ukraine. Anyone know what they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 They are the equivalent of our Giant Viper mine Clearance System. Ours is trailer mounted and theirs is on an armoured Personnel Carrier called a BMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockySpears Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 As far a Russia goes in general I am more in line with this guy: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/germany-roiled-political-earthquake-navy-chief-resigns-after-saying-putin-deserves-respect ... and I would bet that you will find more Communists in our once revered Universities than all of Russia. I don't think Putin wants War or any such, he just wants NATO to stop with all their encroachment toward him. When Russia wanted to put nukes on Cuba, how did that go? Did the US really want a Russian base just a few hundred miles off their coastline? The West is making so many Policy errors, whether it be Military, Energy, Covid, Climate, Economy. We just seem to allowing ourselves to be led around by clowns. RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could solve the gas price situation, there won't be any to levy a price on after he turns the tap off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
