    You’re all underestimating the Russians. These may look like explosive tiles, but they’re just as likely to be empty or filled with sand. That way the explosives can be sold for profit and the dumb schmucks think they’re driving into battle in an armoured car not an unprotected tin can.

      Rubber, there was a video towards the beginning of the invasion of people taking them apart to find blocks of rubber or wood inside.

    Works as indended. By doing this, you can claim the kill as friendly fire instead of a kill by Ukraine. /s

    this give me a warm feeling. the more retarded a nation is by design, the less likely their army has any value. just like the russian invasion of afghanistan was an epic failure. this makes me wonder how a super stupid nation like china would act in a war. their system is beyond retarded, they flex like russia and their gear is Wish quality. sure they also have biiiig nukes like russia, but what is gained if china nukes taiwan? nothing. so they are cockroaches like the russians that weasel around like orcs in dire need of some opiods for the masses. decades of lousy bread and games for the masses doesnt do the trick long term. i really really hope russia and china just vanish.

      I wouldn’t call China super stupid. They’re a lot of things but I don’t think stupid is one of them.

        their citizens are “stupid” as in unable to create or question. by system. so no real breaking inventions, no political discourse…the definition of a bat shit stupid country. my chinese work colleagues keep trying to convince me otherwise all the time and we just laugh. poor people. there is really nothing could envy them for.

        I don’t honestly know about that. I remember watching a video of “an elite Chinese military unit” doing a room clearing exercise. They showed the targets they were shooting at afterwards and they all had keyholes. The distances were all inside so maybe 5 meters?

        Chinese Wish grade weapons versus Russian corruption makes me think it would be a coin toss.

          One possibility that I saw floating around is that this was an ammunition issue, possibly deliberate to reduce damage to the walls of the structure they were training in or lower the risk of ricochet. Not saying I believe that explanation but I’d rather err on the side of not underestimating a potential opponent.

      How is calling people cockroaches and orcs and hoping entire countries vanish acceptable?

          You outright called the people cockroaches and orcs, but now you’re telling me you were only talking about the countries as “constructs”? That’s a pathetic excuse. The dehumanization of others, like calling them cockroaches, is exactly what the nazis did. Here you are talking like a nazi and then claiming I support hitler. That’s called projection, my friend.
