Sorry dude, we're no monsters, actually, only the USA have capital punishment in some states and only for aggravated blod crimes, while PRC has concentration camps, death penalty for non blood crimes, execute Falung Gong members to sell their organs and loves to back ugly dicatorships, moreover, you're depicting them with the same kind of barbarian weapons they used to butcher unarmed Indian borderguards 2 years ago. The Russian proves itself barbaric every day in Ukraine, so yup, your depiction of some medieval era barbarian warriors seems accurate.View attachment 847567
Only credibility Zelensky got is with NED NATO and Western doggies and MSMs
Killing off guidance to the much boasted Murican Excaliber shells, and lots lots more
So you don't like democracy while being a CCP spy in Taiwan? Well, you surely know that Russia is super migrant friendly? Why don't you move there?
HOW TAIWAN CAN FREE CONTINENTAL CHINA FROM THE FASCIST CCP and ruin their plans!
I think it's time we cheat the NPT and sell a few Mach3 stealth nuclear cruise missiles to Taiwan, any way, MBDA says they can make a conventional ASM with these... Don't worry, we made Israel a nuclear power under the Yankee's nose, we can do the same for Taiwan !!!
ASMPA-R performances are similar to the Oniks except it weights only 900kg and it's 300kt instead of 200kt. So we surely can disguise it as a sale of conventional ASMs while there'd surprise cg andies...
even the small AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-kuo can carry 900kg under a hardpoint... it'd make its F-CK-1 designation more realist
Moreover, we can mount their Mirage-2000s, F-CK-1 and F-16s with better engines, two M88 with 50 or even 73kN dry thrust can fit in the F-CK-1, then a 100kN DT/115kN afterburner can fit the F-16 and the M2000 while making room for much more internal fuel, but there are also very interesting features that can be added : Rafale F4 introduces 3rd gen stealth (which can be integrated to any aircraft, in fact, the 1st use wasn't even an aircraft, it's the M51.3 SLBM) and its systems can be used as drop-in upgrades for Mirage-2000.
We surely can provide Rafale to them, the new F4 version directly jumps to 5.5th gen, thanks to the new form of stealth but the best way would be an order of 200 units+ and AIDC licence-buildng them : Dassault has registered the biggest jet fighters orders of 2021, even with the production being doubled, there are significant backlogs, a new production line will be necessary any way, and 200 units+ would be perfect to replace TW's ageing aircraft fleet, even if there were some spats with Thales/Dassault/DCNS, mainly due to Chirac-era dubious kickback practises of state-owned companies (GoF is DCNS+Thales' #1 shareholder), we can absolutely deliver...
Nonetheless the whole fleet would supercruise, but M2000 would also operate the Meteor and MICA-NG but also to do cruise missile strikes as far as Shenyang, Beijing or the Fiery Cross Reef, but the coolest feature, without even going nuclear, would be the ability to sink any ship between Donggang, Fangshenggang and the Philippines using a stealth Mach3 ASM (anti-ship missile) which would be a true pain in the ***: remember, despite 6 AK-630 CIWS,the Moskva couldn't even intercept two subsonic Neptune ASMs, the USS Stark and the HMS Sheffield had CIWS and were hit by Exocet, which, BTW, ROCAF still would be able to use on lesser defended assets like container carriers, oil tankers, with the advantage of costing the half of the Harpoon...
Korea can provide the K-LOGIR in case of beach-landing attempts with swarms of small ships.
The new Indian SMART Torpedo-Missile seems nice too : it can deliver a 30km range torpedo at 600km into 10 minutes, when you know that our NOSTRADAMUS and STRADIVARIUS radars can even detect periscopes...
Another thing that seems ignored, maybe due to the usual minimising of ranges during senate public hearings, but let's make it clear, the Apache ALCM is the same thing as the SCALP-EG/Storm-Shadow with a different warhead designed to demolish the foundations of 400m of airbase runways.
India will surely be pleased to provide Brahmos for coastal defence, and PDV Mk2 to shoot down satellites and large ballistic missiles, Israel would be pleased to procure Arrow-3 against MIRVs as well as tactical lasers and Iron Dome, while I-Derby-ER would greatly improve F-16 until the AIM-260 becomes available; then we can provide SAMP/T-NG : even the old Aster was the only one proven able to intercept things like the BrahMos as well as Iskander, Scud, etc, the Aster-NT block.1 doubles the range compared to Aster-30... It's not as much as 40N6E on S-400, but this or the 48N6 are not to engage small highly manoeuvring jet fighters, Aster can, and even re-engage if dodged. When it comes to block.2, which is a totally different missile, so I don't get why it's not being renamed. Range is 2.5x THAAD's and 2x its max altitude, it can engage IRBMs in mid-course, MIRVs and moreover, hypersonic manoeuvring assets in both atmospheric and exoatmospheric profiles...
The interesting point is that they're now taking the T-62s out of the closets!Russian forces have likely abandoned efforts to complete a single large encirclement of Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine and are instead attempting to secure smaller encirclements—enabling them to make incremental measured gains. Russian forces are likely attempting to achieve several simultaneous encirclements of small pockets of Ukrainian forces in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts: the broader Severodonetsk area (including Rubizhne and Lysychansk), Bakhmut-Lysychansk, around Zolote (just northeast of Popasna), and around Ukrainian fortifications in Avdiivka. Russian forces have begun steadily advancing efforts in these different encirclements daily but have not achieved any major “breakthroughs” or made major progress towards their stated objectives of securing the Donetsk Oblast borders or seizing all of Donbas. Luhansk Oblast Administration Head Serhiy Haidai reported that Ukrainian forces only controlled approximately 10 percent of Luhansk Oblast as of May 15 (compared to 30 percent prior to the full-scale Russian invasion on February 24, 2022).[1] Russian forces have secured more terrain in the past week than efforts earlier in May. However, they have done so by reducing the scope of their objectives—largely abandoning operations around Izyum and concentrating on key frontline towns: Russian performance remains poor.
Russian forces will additionally likely face protracted urban combat if they successfully encircle Severodonetsk (as well as in other large towns like Bakhmut), which Russian forces have struggled with throughout the war. Russian forces are committing a significant number of their troops, artillery, and aircraft to defeat Ukrainian defenders in Luhansk Oblast and are likely pulling necessary resources from the Izyum axis, defensive positions around Kharkiv City, Donetsk City, and the Zaporizhia area. Luhansk Oblast Administration Head Serhiy Haidai has previously compared Ukrainian forces in Luhansk Oblast to the previous defenders of Mariupol, which aimed to wear out Russian forces and prevent further offensive operations.[2] The UK Defense Ministry also noted that a Russian victory over Severodonetsk will only worsen Russian logistical issues and extend Russian ground lines of communication (GLOCs).[3] Russian forces are making greater advances in the past week than throughout the rest of May—but these advances remain slow, confined to smaller objectives than the Kremlin intended, and face continued Ukrainian defenses; they do not constitute a major breakthrough.

Youngest Russian T-62s were introduced in 1975, thus NoKo was still buildng some in the 80's...
The latest upgrade to Russian T-62 fire-control system is a 1983 Soviet one.
In fact, you'd better use T-62 with Ukrainian, Egyptian, North-Korean, Israeli or French upgrades than what Russia is pulling out from the Soviet stockpiles... They must be really desperate : if they're going T-62, it's that the more advanced T-72 stockpiles are already running dry and that there are even more tanks participating the turret-throwing contest than estimated by Ukrainian MoD which seems to highly back its claims on visual proofs while in fact, Russia is likely to remove damaged/destroyed gear as long they can do advances...
Years ago, I've read about an US-made laser-guided grenade for RPG-7 ranging 700m, I'm not sure but I feel it was fit with an EFP (explosive formed penetrator) rather than a HEAT/tandem-charge, moreover, there are not even ERA bricks fit on these T-62s and considering their structure, they may even beat the turret throwing records...
It's obvious that most of the logistics comes from the base in the village of Veydelevka, Belgorod oblast, they set up in early April
The possible ammo storage is around 50.136018, 38.467635, the vehicle storage around 50.132257, 38.446655; camo tents around 50.132284, 38.448935-50.134564, 38.451472 and 50.133905, 38.447422-50.134937, 38.445880.
It might be too far for the CAESAR 155mm SPH which ranges 55km. with rocked-boosted shells, and 40km with standard ones and 1m accuracy (no need for expensive Excalibur guided shells, guess why the CAESAR is exporting so well), but it surely would be OK for M270 or Himars... If not, Thailand builds the Weishi WS-1B which ranges 180km under technology transfer grounds, the guidance software is Thai... Since Sudan has acquired an unconfirmed number of the advanced Chinese WS-2 Multiple Rocket launcher In 2009, it must be feasible to even buy a few directly from PRC for "test purposes"... WS-2 has 350 and 400 km ranged version and I thing they have INS, GPS and GLONASS guidance at the same time... It may be interesting to use some Chinese MLRS due to costs. Russians know well the Weishi rockets : their buddies Assad, Khamenei, do build copies, but thei never ended at their receiving end
