Ukrainian troops outside of bakhmut downing a drone with a fim-92 stinger. It’s crazy how much use they get out of this thing https://twitter.com/newsukrainian24/status/1659148192967958528?s=46&t=vNUOI7d7yJFqHoqKrRS_XQ
>>58331902That’s a big rocket but doesn’t look very aerodynamic
>>58331911It’s very aerodynamic
>>58331911are you telling me missiles are just straight tubes with fins?no way
>>58331911>That’s a big rocketfor (you)
>>58331911aerodynamic =/= maneuverable but they are functionally related
>>58331902>outside of bakhmutWhy aren't they inside of bakhmut?
>>58332721The Russians took it like a week ago
>>58331902We made a metric shitton of the things, most of which have been rotting in warehouses since the vatniks got Afghanistan'd. It's good to see them being put to use.
>>58332913that is actually misinformation. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/21/ukraine-zelenskiy-denies-russian-claims-to-have-taken-bakhmut
>>58333509>‘Bakhmut is only in our hearts. There is nothing ... just ruins and dead Russians,’ says Ukraine’s presidentKek, ain't that the truth>Ukraine has rejected Russian claims to have captured Bakhmut, insisting its forces still have a foothold in the Donbas city and are steadily encircling the Russian mercenaries holding the ruined town centre.Double kek I would laugh if they actually did
>>58333550Given Russian lies, I just treat every single thing they say as untrue and it usually rewards meEven things where you'd think they are winning logically, they instead lie to cover up an illogical loss.Upshot: now even when they tell the truth, no one believes them. No one taught them Aesop's Fables...
>>58331911>aerodynamicyou don't know what that means
>>58331916for you
Based
How come we see so many stinger kills compared to other MANPADS
>>58331902>It’s crazy how much use they get out of this thingIt's single use anon
>>58338021So is toilet paper but I get a lot of use out of that
>>58338021rollIvan Drago pls
>>58338021single use in, tube is useless or factory reload possible.
>>58331911>long thin object isnt areodynamicYou're either a complete retard or just an average russoid
Based stinger consistently killing airborne targets
>>58331902what a waste
>>58339563I know you figure russia doesn’t have too many drones left what kind of retard is flying it in an area with stingers
Imagine being Nazi dying for a Jew and his buddies in Natrannydom.
The stinger has outperformed the starstreak in Ukraine
>>58337957QuantityThey were the most sent item to Ukraine, which is why they and Iglas make the vast majority of MANPAD kills.
>>58339801Wasn't Hitler half-jewish? I feel like the nazis already did that move.
>>58339801thens of thou of rusorks don't have to imagine
>100,000$ missile on 50$ alibaba droneWho's the real winner?
>>58341277The US for all this great marketing they managed to sell stingers for over $1million a pop
>>58331902After you look up priced, it’s more like the Russians took out a stinger with just a drone
>>58341277>>58341332very organic concern trolling, tovarish
>>58341277ok Rajeesh
I thought it was just memes but it’s hard to ignore how much positive footage of stingers there are and how little footage of starstreak there is. Starstreak was supposed to be above reproach but it’s combat record is frankly terrible
>>58331902How much for one Stinger?How much for one drone?
>>58333509Why would you believe anything either side claims?
>>58341455Uncle Sam can send more and more. Vatniks can barely produce enough drones to cover most critical parts of the front
How are people still pretending that it's only worth to shoot down something if it's worth more than the weapon you're using to shoot it down?You don't want a drone spying on your troops. It's able to give information to the enemy about position, readiness, composition and equipment, and depending on the drone, even wound or kill your troops. It's not about the cost, it's about what it can do.You're all a bunch of morons
>>58338021rolling for Zhukov
>>58341449That's just what the contractor bills the MOD. That thing is just a weed eater motor and cannon digital camera.
>>58338021Moose and squirrel!
>>58341455The US can afford a thousand Stingers for each russkie drone, regardless of per-unit cost. Sucks to be poor, eh, Vanya?
>>58333550>Double kek I would laugh if they actually didI hope they do, then disallow them from surrendering so they die of privation.
>>58341612Yes that's what cost means my friend, how much you have to pay for something
Don't even need to engage with warriortards shitty bait, he's walking on eggshells because the mods hate him.
>>58342146Rough day?
>>58338021Who is number 84?I rolled that one.
>>58342379french stalin
>>58342379>>58342451>Gérard DepardieuHoly shit how could I have not recognised Obélix?!
>>58342451>>58342591Forgot to thank you.So here it is: Thank you.
>>58342280It's been a great day actully mate, just skimmed 4chan between drinks rounds at the pub. Love to see warriortard getting humiliated, I've been smug since yesterday.
>>58342614Deeply rooted mental illness I see. I’m not your internet arch nemesis
>>58341455>caring about the cost
>>58341455what is USA GDPwhat is Russian GDP
>>58341455> be russia > your money has zero value > have to sell oil bellow production cost to chinks to buy drone parts > therefore real value is lost to making this drone > it get shot down by a stinger > be amreica > can literally print infinite money and force the rest of the world to accept whatever value you want > give a few hundreds million to arm company to make stingers basically for free > send them to Ukraine to destroy russian drone
>>58341411Taking economists seriously outside of economic subjects has been a disaster for the liberal race. Its how you get stupid shit like these complaints.
>>58341455https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Russia/United-States/Economy/table
>>58341576Blame hiring economists to run non-economy related things, like letting MacNamara run the Department of Defense during Vietnam.
