Cook them Ivan,s in those steel coffin 72,s and 80,s.

When a 2 man javelin crew on foot or mobile can fire and forget and haul azz to another position to take out more tank from at least 4klicks away.

That's a mutha fuuucker big time to tanks and armour vehicles.
1st good blurb I have heard no matter how it compares to the big picture.

Crispy critter blown the fugg up russians in shattered steel is a good thing.


Supposed Javelin kill

How many did the US send them?

War in the era of cells phones is going to different. Can you imagine all the video and pictures we have not yet seen.

Really wanta see what they been able to do to the Russians.
Lots of reports of them fighting the russians.

Talk of a fight coming up around that big pennisula and a choke point the Ukrainians are holding the russains from the south gotta get thru.

Getting to be daylight over their now.
Should start up again shortly.

Problem is the follow up ecehlons of the Russians.
They are staged 2nd and 3rd wave stuff just like for Germany in 86 88 and all the reforger scenarios.
If the Ukrainians had attack helo capabilty with night attack abilities
They coulda been raising some hell with the Russians all night.
Who knows they might have some assets and news is so fragmented coming out.


I think President Trump sent them 200 CLU,s command launch units IIRC.

Basic load for us was 2 missles per 2 man tm gunner and AG
Gunner carried Clu
Ag carry 1 missle.
Rifleman carry another.
Rotate that stuff among whole platoon on a approach march.
Schit would wear ya down.
Dont wanna smoke your team.
2 teams per plt.

6 tms per company.
12 additional missles in company XO,s hummer
Bn would have a 36 missle on call reserve from support platoon for companys.
