Proved once again to be reliable and efficient

Those telegram channels survive only by pumping out constant combat footage. They use old stuff as padding between the current stuff which is gay when you're trying to make an archival folder and you end up having to delete most stuff since it has no context.

What blew up?

>we used to have endless footage of Apaches vivisecting random ragheads in all manner of methods, angles and locations, uncensored, uncut
>almost all of it is gone, dead with liveleak and apacheclips
>we only get ziggersplatten drone cams in their stead, repetitive as fuck

I want to go back

Presumably another oil refinery or pumping station. That has been the daily trend for the last 2 weeks or so.

>>64406178
I'm prob as old as you if not older and this is just not true. Drone cams are 10x more kino than the vast vast majority of apache or reaper cams.

>>64405252
It could be worse, like a major news channel using an Arma 3 video.

Is this from that incident of a pilot getting wounded by ground fire from an ak?

>>64406145
Russia accidentally gassed itself with ammonia

The massive disappointment I felt when I first saw A-10 strafing run guncam footage. You can't see shit. You literally can't see anything.

>>64406254
No drone will ever be cooler than 30mm ripping through a guy, Apaches actually hunting and squashing dozens of enemies on the ground at a time instead of just one or two is something drones cant do

Good luck with that in a pair war...

>>64406630
Good luck with that in a peers war...

>>64406855
If some redneck retards working for the military industrial complex haven't strapped a 30mm cannon to a drone by now America really is fucked.

The optics are armoured so instead of cutting to black which is easy to fake it would be cracked bullet proof glass which is a lot harder to fake.

There is no peer to the US. Russia has demonstrated is a peer threat to the poorest country in Europe.

>>64407432
China is working on becoming a technological peer
they are definitely absolutely for sure a manufacturing peer, the West cannot get involved in a protracted attrition war with them (luckily that's not how we fight wars)
they are absolutely definitely for sure not a doctrinal or cultural peer, we have the advantage there, and we will see how large the gap is when we fight

A UN humanitarian convoy

I thought the UN was actually a branch of hamas terrorists?

was this image meant to be posted seriously?

>Leaving out the Chechen Wars
>Adding WW2
How are we supposed to take you seriously?

>>64410778
Chechen wars were a internal conflict that saw 20000 civilian casualties in the Span of a decade. The only country who's ever used nukes is the US and they used them to strike civilian targets

>>64406378
Now you know how the pilot feels.

>>64410155
yeah, he posts it all the time.

That was almost certainly a 300+ meter shot, the guy took a pot shot at the heli and got astoundingly lucky to hit the optics in the perfect spot.

Had to happen at some point. plus they are using steel core ammo so its a little more damaging than your standard lead core.

I'm glad to see that my milsim vidyagame experience that tells me to always magdump a heli if it's in range on the off chance you get lucky since you're probably about to get turned into a red splatter anyways holds true in real life as well.

The First Battle of Grozny alone is estimated to have killed 25,000 civilians.

Kek

>As of the civilian casualties, Sergei Kovalev, the Russian Duma's commissioner for human rights, and Russian President Boris Yeltsin's aide on human rights, who had been in Grozny during part of the fighting, estimated 27,000 people, many of them ethnic Russians, died in five weeks of fighting, about 6% of the population.

>>64414287
>Kovalyov has been an outspoken critic of authoritarian tendencies in the administrations of Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin.
>In 1996, he resigned as head of Yeltsin's presidential human rights commission, having published an open letter to Yeltsin, where Kovalyov accused the president of giving up democratic principles.
>In 2002, he organized a public commission to investigate the 1999 Moscow apartment bombings (the Kovalyov Commission[16]), which was effectively paralyzed after one of its members, Sergei Yushenkov, was assassinated,[17][18] another member, Yuri Shchekochikhin, allegedly poisoned with thallium,[19][20] and its legal counsel and investigator, Mikhail Trepashkin, arrested.[21][22]
how the fuck did this guy die of old age?
