Picture of the Day

germany invades soviet union

June 22, 1941, Germany invades the Soviet Union

Why did they invade the Soviet Union?

Operation Barbarossa was an operation created out of necessity as much as anything else. The previous successful campaigns against Poland and France were successful, but were costly to the German economy. Germany lacked key resources, particularly oil. Germany’s attempts to produce synthetic oil in any great quantity had been unsuccessful. Russia offered Germany a huge supply of oil, plentiful supplies of labor for German industry and to a more ideological degree, lebensraum, the notion of living space for the German people.

Could a Modern US Battalion And a Few Planes Have Won D-Day Alone?

June 14, 2022

Nope, nope, noooooooope, and NOPE.

Don’t get me wrong, a modern day infantry battalion is leaps and bounds more combat effective than a WW2 battalion. One on one, it would be a slaughter. Two to one it would still be a pitched battle. 3 to 1 and it would be slightly less desperate of a fight.

Is Russia Really Doing A Piss-Poor Job In Ukraine Or Are We Just Being Fed Propaganda?

April 18, 2022

There’s an element of the fact that the west is generally on Ukraine’s side, and that we’re therefore seeing a Ukraine-centric perspective

But at the same time, the maps don’t lie: Russia was expected to roll Ukraine over in a matter of days or weeks, yet is now 7 weeks into the war and have clearly not steamrolled Ukraine or even achieved their likely/apparent goals

What Is The Strangest Weapon Developed During WW2?

April 5, 2022

bat bomb

Bat bombs were an experimental World War II weapon developed by the United States. The bomb consisted of a bomb-shaped casing with over a thousand compartments, each containing a hibernating Mexican free-tailed bat with a small, timed incendiary bomb attached. Dropped from a bomber at dawn, the casings would deploy a parachute in mid-flight and open to release the bats, which would then disperse and roost in eaves and attics in a 20–40-mile radius (32–64 km).

How Does Russian Continue To Be A Threatening Super Power When It Has A Smaller Economy Than Italy And Canada?

March 10, 2022

Russia spends 3x times more of it’s Budget on the military than countries with a comparable economy, so it has far more military hardware and personnel. They also have mandatory military service.

The export a great deal of hardware from guns, vehicles, tanks, and airplanes to other nations which helps justify their R&D budget.

They also have huge amounts of surplus hardware left over from the Soviet Union. A lot of hardware the Russians are using is very old and much of the new state-of-art equipment they flaunt is in very short supply.

What Is The Difference Between a Tactical and Strategic Nuclear Weapon?

March 3, 2022

Tactical nukes are small, a few kilotons yield. They’re delivered by normal weapons systems, such as artillery or strike aircraft over relatively short ranges.

Their job is to break up formations of enemy troops on the battlefield. This can be offensive or defensive. It may seem odd to think of a nuke as a defensive weapon, but the idea is that when you see enemy forces massing to attack you, you drop a tactical nuke on them to break up the attack.

What Would The Logistics Of Invading The United States Look Like?

November 10, 2021 Leave a Comment

For a country to invade the Mainland US would require a level of logistics that currently only the US Military could feasibly achieve.

An amphibious assault force on the West Coast would be extremely hard pressed to find a beachhead in which to land troops and material. The US Navy alone has multiple bases in Hawaii, Washington (State), and California which would screen any direct attacks against the coast (this is just US Navy; the US Army, Marines, and Air Force also have large presences in air bases, barracks, etc.)
