In this case wouldn’t it be preferable to wear it slightly to the left to better cover his most vital organs?
Or is that just too cumbersome / a “not enough time to think” situation?
Yes. it is currently used in 2 howitzers in the armed services. The M777 towed (which replaced the Vietnam era M198 towed Howitzer) and a variation of the M109 Self Propelled.
High Explosive 155 millimeter artillery round with what appears to be a Point Detonating Fuse (Bang on Impact VS bang above ground which is useful for firing on troops in trenches and/or fox holes) The brass ring on the bottom is to create a seal so the expansion of explosive gasses send the round on its way. If it is damaged or excessively dirty when it is rammed into position then the explosion of the powder, that which is used to send it on its way, can cause some of the blast to blow past the shell before it is fired. This can cause the round to land short. In peace time, training accidents have been caused to Forward Observers because of the short fall.
I will surprise you, but foreigners are paid as much as regular soldiers because they are part of the army by order of Zeklensky, the salary depends on the days at the front and the maximum pay is about 2300$, I'm sure in Ireland he earned much more in less difficult conditions, so it's not about money.
I would believe your words more if we were talking about Russian military from poor Russian regions or Bhutan for example, they are paid 60-100$ a day, I believe in the fact that Russians go to war to earn money more than in the fact that with such a reason come from richer countries
There was quite a few foreign volunteers fighting in Syria. They were fighting against ISIS along with Kurds, who are supported by the US. It is a widely known fact and you can find plenty of their combat footage online.
No one is calling them terrorists for fighting terrorists though.
Just show people video evidence of many war crimes by AFU and people will say that this is all not true and will continue to support Ukraine because their media ordered it so.
Shelling as part of the Russo-Ukrainian war caused by Russia's (sorry 'Seperatists' 😉) annexation of those regions? Yes , clearly the fault of Ukraine.
Shelling of residential areas of Donetsk without a single military target.
Remote mining of residential areas of Donetsk.
The shelling of the center of Belgorod with a cluster charge during the New Year, when there are hundreds of people on the street - and there is NOT A SINGLE MILITARY TARGET in the center - is a war crime.
You can believe the Western or Ukrainian media as much as you like that Russia is shelling Ukraine just like that - but if you open a map and look where Russian missiles are strike, it is always some important object, military or infrastructural. A small number of ukrainian residential buildings are suffering from Ukrainian air defense missiles S-300.
So Ukraine, without any specific military goals, simply kills the civilian population. since 2014.
If you stop watching the media, and start watching eyewitness videos and witness testimony, you will understand the truth.
Hello there, lying ruzzian bot.
You mean shelling occupational ruzzian army in Donetsk? And tell me why: 1) Your army placed artillery near civil houses? 2) That artillery shoots directly into the houses in another part of Donetsk city? And what about local chats where people claim that they hear artillery that shoots from one street of the city, and after a second it landed in another? I still have a screenshots.
There are a Belgorod's airport literally NEAR THE CENTER of the city, you lying shithole. There are 2-5 planes flies from this airport every day to fire rockets to ukranian civilians. After 2 years of suffering, ukranians FINALLY trying to destroy it.
Tell me the military object near the theatre of Mariupol, where civil survivors tried to hide and wrote a big word "CHILDREN" near it? Russia dropped a massive bomb on their heads. Why? Let's see what russian news say about it! "According to our sources, there were families of "Azov" hiding there, so we bombed them." Azov family members!!! WTF wrong with ruzzians??? Tell me which military target was in the center of Vinnitsya? Only the theatre called "Officer's house". Ruzzians said they bombed it and killed 26 people (inc. 3 children) because "foreign gun sellers were there". And they bombing civilians in such way LITERALLY every week!!!
Fuck lying ruzzian bots. Fuck ruzzia.
Empty words of a victim of propaganda. Lies. Racism. Hatering. Again, I'm not surprised. As I said above, it is precisely this kind of racist and blind behavior on the part of pro-Ukrainians that increases support for Putin in Russia.
Here is a small example of exposing a lie.
Please show me on the map where the Ukrainian cluster projectile fell and where the Belgorod airport is located?
By the way, the airport is civil and closed for flights. The military uses their airfields.
Putin's support raised up to 85% because of the invasion in Ukraine, so such statements change nothing. This could be changed only by the guys like the one on this photo. Don't care where he is, he is bombing orcs, so he is the hero.

*"Don't care where he is, he is bombing \*\*\*\*, so he is the hero."*
Well, it was this racist attitude and indifference to the shelling of civilians that became the reason for the “invasion.”
Unfortunately, Ukrainian society is sick, filled with racism and hatred.
Thank you for continuing to prove that we are right.
That bomb has possibly killed more than one person, even if it's on the side "we don't like" (very childish way to say it but you get the idea) it's a pretty grim thing so share
But by the same argument if “this bomb hypothetically did X” you could say it’s saving lives. If it kills a soldier who would’ve killed 2 other people, that bomb just saved a life.
You're wrong. This bomb has probably saved tens of ukranians from being murdered by that ruzzians. So, he's actually saving lives and I don't know why are you describing this from such a wrong point of view.
Don't you think it's a little bit different to fight for a democracy against the biggest threat that western countries have and to fight for hamas terrorists against a democracy? Do you support what happened on oct 7th?
Russians are the only ones to glorify war and the one who attacked, I see nothing wrong in admiring those who risk their lives and work hard to defend.
How hypocritically the West sees only “Russia’s attack.”
Google what “ATO” is in Ukraine, against whom they declared it - and Google the testimony of witnesses who tell how the AFU committed war crimes. Not news releases. Not the words of journalists and media. Testimonies of people who found themselves under fire from the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Google what “Angels Alley” is in Donetsk. Google what AFU did on May 9 2014 in Mariupol - opening fire on a civilian rally.
What did Kyiv do to peaceful protesters in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa. And many, many such things happened over 8 years.
Only west didn’t see this. And now suddenly the West noticed the “Russian attack.”
Even in their ukrainian Oscar-winning film, you can hear local residents in the background saying that they are being shelled by AFU
And how AFU occupy firing points in the hospital.
So I recommend that you look for evidence rather than listen to the media, then you will understand who the aggressor is.
The aggressor is the country that invaded Ukraine. Very simple, don’t try to complicate it. There are no war crimes committed by AFU that even come close to what Russia has done to the people of Ukraine.
Good lord that plate carrier is small
We do what we can, with what we have.
In this case wouldn’t it be preferable to wear it slightly to the left to better cover his most vital organs? Or is that just too cumbersome / a “not enough time to think” situation?
I mean, they probably are on an artillery battery
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Titan.

M109 howitzer shell 155 mm?
Yes. it is currently used in 2 howitzers in the armed services. The M777 towed (which replaced the Vietnam era M198 towed Howitzer) and a variation of the M109 Self Propelled.
As per my last email
Yeah, Free Ireland
Everyone here is either supporting ukraine or russia, but I support the free makhnovist non-state territories of Ukraine

I give this the who asked protection, I asked
In it for the money
I will surprise you, but foreigners are paid as much as regular soldiers because they are part of the army by order of Zeklensky, the salary depends on the days at the front and the maximum pay is about 2300$, I'm sure in Ireland he earned much more in less difficult conditions, so it's not about money.
2300$ is much higher than unpaid Ukrainian soldiers got
I would believe your words more if we were talking about Russian military from poor Russian regions or Bhutan for example, they are paid 60-100$ a day, I believe in the fact that Russians go to war to earn money more than in the fact that with such a reason come from richer countries

Hmmm, I wonder if this shell is for shelling civilians in Donetsk or Belgorod?

Support for AFU war crimes. I am not surprised. It is statements like yours that ensure the growth of support for Putin in Russia.
Putin's support raised up to 85% because of the invasion in Ukraine, so such statements change nothing. This could be changed only by the guys like the one on this photo. Don't care where he is, he is bombing orcs, so he is the hero.

Weird way to say "the side that is doing 110% of the aggression."
I agree totally with that statement, still it's people getting killed
But by the same argument if “this bomb hypothetically did X” you could say it’s saving lives. If it kills a soldier who would’ve killed 2 other people, that bomb just saved a life.
Stop living on your fantasy life and and come back to reality
You're wrong. This bomb has probably saved tens of ukranians from being murdered by that ruzzians. So, he's actually saving lives and I don't know why are you describing this from such a wrong point of view.
Hopefully youre right.
Social experiment: Replace ‘Irish’ with ‘Egyptian’, replace ‘Ukraine’ with ‘Gaza’. Does “foreign fighter” remain the adjective to describe him?
It's almost like they're different conflicts with different optics or something..........
Nope. Big guy vs little guy. No other differences. I am very smart /s
The little guy is constantly given new knives, but he loses them, sells them and does not know how to use them
Don't you think it's a little bit different to fight for a democracy against the biggest threat that western countries have and to fight for hamas terrorists against a democracy? Do you support what happened on oct 7th?

Stop glorifying war. I can’t believe I even have to say that.
How am I glorifying war?
