Do they actually x-ray the trucks before they cross the bridge? Seems like it would take a serious amount of energy to penetrate a big truck trailer to get any usable image quality. And a really big imaging system. If so, then I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the downrange end of that when it was operating

Where on the "x-ray" another axle with wheels and a frame disappeared, the FSB does not specify 🤡 pic.twitter.com/onKbOndxVO
Even if this was the right X-ray, So the see a truck full of explosives and say "let it through boys" lol— Rez 🇺🇸 (@RezToRealLife) October 12, 2022
FSB having a bad day I guess
There wasn't a real one, which raises some serious questions.
Or the guard took a payoff

It appears Russia is such dire need for weapons for its conscripts that it is deploying old archaic and outdated systems. This is a 152-mm D-1 howitzer now being deployed that first entered service with the Red Army in 1943 in WWII. #Ukraine #Russia #putin pic.twitter.com/W5ixTtUrmn

Then you have two former soviet block countries to their north just itching for an excuse to get some.
I don't see Belarus being this dumb.

It's an MTLB. Really bad vision for close to the ground objects. Much worse than a lot of other armored vehicles. Has a large frontal section that chops line of sight horrendously on the Z-axis. Mixed with poor tactics and training and......Well, you can see in the video.MouthBQ98 said:
Vision out of the little vision blocks probably sucks BUT it looks like he thought he could straddle them and not set them off. Apparently they have a magnetic or vibration trigger.

"By a large margin, Ukrainian enlisted soldiers are great soldiers now. I trained guys in January, February and March, and the majority of them? Fodder, dude. They just don't know. No muzzle awareness. No basic first aid. No basic infantry tactics.
I had guys tell me they were put into the frontline having no idea which way was up, you know? Giving Russian Arty and snipers free statistics basically.
They were dying from completely preventable things like not smoking during the nighttime. Not crouching in trenches. Not counting rounds fired in magazines, or concealing their positions. It was a real shame to halfway train a group of guys and know they were just gonna get tossed in the meat grinder.
But now, totally different story for lots of units. Now some units would definitely rival a western military for professionalism and training - even surpass them. It's the most combat experienced army in the world now, and it's really starting to show.
Good at trench fighting. Good at using cover, concealment. Good-ish at coordinating with other units. But the main point is the individual guy is much better now than they were in Feb-April. The days of guys getting killed over silly things are mostly over."

"You are here to begin the validation process to gauge your suitability and preparedness to participate in the Ukrainian-russian war in the International Legion. First of all, Ukraine is fighting against the world's second strongest army which carries tons of equipment, machinery and people. It's not a low-grade war, it is an extremely active high-intensity battlefield with thousands units of artillery, missiles, close battles, civilians rescue missions and various types of possible missions. Every day more than a thousand people die on both sides.
Secondly, which is even more important - our enemy is a pure evil - russians don't respect any rules and laws. This war displays multiple evidences of internationally acclaimed rules of warfare violation. The conflict is reported and witnessed to be of the highest levels of cruelty with pervasive wartime atrocities. Putting it simply - it is hell on Earth.
This is not a place for a military tourism or an opportunity to gain extra skills - we don't have time to train people that are not ready. If you're not ready - each day could be your last day out there.
There're many sad stories about foreign legionnaires being totally unprepared for Ukrainian warfare reality coming to Ukraine just to find out that they are not ready before they quit. In order to avoid their mistake, when filling the application please be as honest as possible.
Are you ready to face and participate in real warfare?
Are you ready to sit hours under artillery attacks?
Are you ready to wage war in the absence of the most modern weaponry, using only those at hand?
Are you ready to be taken captive with a very high chance of tortures and abuse? It is proven that russians do torture prisoners of war despite the international human laws.
Are you ready to sleep in the dug-out shelters, under sub-zero temperatures, without shower and habitual food, surrounded by an enemy, fighting one-on-one for you life?
If the Ukrainian war reality is not as in Hollywood movies - are you ready to stay and don't run away after one week?"

"People see lots of pictures and videos of destroyed Russian tanks, BTRs and BMPs and get this misconception that they're not all that dangerous ya know. That's not true.
Just because something is like 40 years old and a bit rusty don't mean that the gun on it can't blow your ass to France lol. A half decent gunner with a supply of ammo can leave a lot of guys wishing they were boarding a flight home.
I guess just don't underestimate them is what I'm saying. A motivated crew that doesn't suck can put a real hurting on a team of well-organized guys. Just don't underestimate them. People on YouTube and Instagram comments think this is like, a airsoft game, like, with respawns sometimes but you guys don't see the pictures of filled up hospitals and ambulances.
In June saw a Russian BTR shoot a guy like 700 meters away and it blew his legs right off. Just boom wheelchair for life all because we assumed a gunner wasn't paying attention. Pay attention. Don't underestimate them. Repeat. Also cardio lol."
