I wonder who is downvoting these.

Heard of hexbear, lemmygrad and Lemmy.ml trio? Somehow western tankies (who never seen communism in full height) decided that current conflict aligns well with their ideology 😑

Yeah I've encountered them. Because I don't capitalize russia, apparently I'm dehumanizing them. They appear to just be trolls play acting as communists.

I love seeing incredibly expensive RU equipment getting ripped apart by a $50,000 HIMARS missile.

looks expensive and very much not replaceable

unfortunately radars, the most valuable piece of kit here, didn't burned at all. probably there's plenty of elements smashed, but because russian radars are put together by hand (unheard of in the west, due to insufficient precision) some of even basic parts could be probably recycled, in few months at least

also i like how drone hovers nearby deployed, perhaps active radar

lots of these parts are replaceable, there will be plenty of precision milled aluminum and alumina circuit boards. at least some components are of domestic production
