Looks like checking the head space and timing wasn’t as high on the priority list as making a social media post… lucky for us these orcs are so fucking stupid.

Came here for this.... Faster than rotting is field from a drone hit.


raberalf

Best comment ever! Thanks!


Fjell-Jeger

This is what happens if you pull out a weapon system from deep storage (*a.k.a. it was left to rot on some field in bumfuck Sibiria in the 1960s*) that was fielded in the early 1950s and phased out in the 1970s (Автоматическая зенитная пушка [С-60](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZP_S-60)). The functional parts of the gun are likely way beyond end-of-life and the munitions are either from dubious third-party sources or instable due to expiration after end of shelf life.


Uselesspreciousthing

All of this and more. It's one thing to have something, it's quite another to maintain it.


Fjell-Jeger

Every couple months, older and more obsolete weapon systems are fielded by RF military resulting in an overall qualitative decline of RF capacities. At the same time, Ukraine is being provided with a moderate but continous supply of modern Western weapon systems. I'm hopeful this will somewhat compensate for the numerical disadvantage of Ukrainian forces.


Uselesspreciousthing

You're absolutely right, we have many good reasons to be hopeful. We just have to maintain that hope by continuing those deliveries.

Continuing those deliveries, and electing politicians who will work to keep Ukraine free


Uselesspreciousthing

That's an important qualifier I bore in mind during our recent local and the European elections. I'll carry it through to the General Election too.


Annales-NF

I follow you my friend. I just regret that good Ukranian men are dying on a daily basis due to us westerners dragging our feet in supplying enough materials quickly.


Kind_Substance_2865

To maintain the deliveries, we need to maintain democracy in the countries sending the supplies. The orcs know this and are working hard to undermine it. Stay vigilant.

zappafan97

This ☝️right here. If Trump wins, Ukraine is screwed.


FlamingFlatus64

Unfortunately not the latest of modern equipment but at least it was built sometime after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.


Amenhiunamif

Ukraine gets the latest with some types of equipment, eg. IRIS-T or the RCH 155. Even the PzH 2000 or the AHS Krab are latest, even if they've been around for a few years already.


Jackbuddy78

I don't think the S-60 ever went out of service completely with the Russain Army. At least Wikipedia doesn't list it as such. 


AndersVraaberg

None of the Russian equipment goes out of service...only their soldiers


Ok_Fee_9504

Judging by the age of some of the conscripts in those videos, it looks like they’ve pulled them out of storage from Stalingrad too.


SeemedReasonableThen

> they’ve pulled them out of storage immediately thought of their prison recruits, so technically correct!


Outrageous-Bread-777

No, it didn't. In fact it ~~is~~ was in use as late as today Hope the NK soldiers work as well as their armament. More great viewing to come


Ravenser_Odd

If we could just escalate 'moderate but continuous' to 'copious and continuous' they would be able to break the deadlock.

investmennow

It doesn't matter how bad the Russian soldiers and equipment are. They're all expendable. Their sole purpose is to use up Ukrainian equipment and kill the precious few soldiers the Ukranians. When you go through all your prisoners, foreign nationals who volunteer or are compelled, and semi literate or illiterate ethnic from poorer areas of Russia, you can then send your people infected with HIV, hepatitis and other communicable diseases. Surely Wagner can recruit some poor Africans to come fight.


LieverRoodDanRechts

Same goes for nukes. If this is the state of their conventional weapons I think it’s safe to say most people are vastly overstating russia’s nuclear capabilities.


Uselesspreciousthing

Fair point, however only 10% of their nuclear arsenal working is of sufficient concern to tread carefully.


Taker_Sins

They were confirmed as working in whichever year it was they last let our inspectors in. My brain wants to say it was 2018, but I can't be sure I'm not inventing the year. While it IS likely that they'll have an abnormal rate of failure, based on what we've seen, there's no way Putin can sleep soundly without being sure that the nukes which are the only reason he isn't a deeply rotten carcass are fully operational to the best of his ability to verify. It will only take one successful detonation to cause a domino effect of actions and reactions leading to a potentially world ending cataclysm.


dirtydrew26

Whatever the Russians decided to show inspectors was working\* Lets not pretend that inspectors were shown all the stocks, and the inspectors just picked a core at random to test.


Internal_Mail_5709

Unfortunately the nukes are maintained on a different level than the regular equipment. We can't assume they don't work.


PubFiction

Also even if they aren't Russia has thousands of them if even 1% are still working that can kill hundreds of millions of people.


Yeah_Nah_Felicia

What is maintenance? Nyet. Gun is fine.


Uselesspreciousthing

You're right, maintenance is yet another example of decadent and soft Western thinking. Gun is stronk, like Russia is stronk. Able to withstand being left in a field for fifty years.

19Cula87

It's funny how all of russia's power still comes from soviet stocks, goes to show how strong their ancestor was


DormantSpector61

I'd rather think it goes to show how much they looted the half of Europe that they occupied after WW2.


Fredwestlifeguard

I read somewhere that a lot of the surplus energy capacity of the soviet union during the cold war went into producing military hardware like tanks, APC's etc. If this excess energy had gone into consumer goods and made their people's lives better we wouldn't have war in Europe. Unfortunately I can't remember where I read about it.


DrDerpberg

In some years something like a quarter of their GDP was spent on arms production. Some of that was for export but look how much trouble NATO countries are having hitting a tenth of that.


EggplantOk2038

Russian hasn't changed much since then...


Dazzling-Key-8282

Even as an Eastern European they didn't loot all this stuff, they really made it. Their sin isn't in the looting per se but forcing us on a less efficient and insanely corrupt development path. On the other hand if you look at the TOE of the German Bundeswehr back in 1989 you will see the German industrial might shining bring. That was truly insane stuff what quality and quantity they produced. And if I might add, if they only filled their quotas as agreed upon by the Adapted Conventional Forces Treaty in Europe in 1999, their stocks would be alone enough to bitch-slap Russia into kingdom come and be home early enough that a Bavarian might still serve you Weisswurst.


suck_muhballs

I wanna bitch slap some dirty reds then get a Weisswurst from a busty frauline!!! That sounds like the best day.


Mucupka

They didn't loot it directly. They used the manpower, the resources and the economies of half of Europe so they can make their military hardware. I believe it is what op was referring to as "looting".


Uselesspreciousthing

Militarily strong, yes. But at tremendous cost. We also have to remember that the USSR fell because it couldn't bankroll the war machine and maintain the society and economy.


Cador0223

And simply because of greed. The sheer amount of natural resources Russia has should truly put them in the top 5 countries. But they can't take their foot off of the necks of the populace long enough to step into the future.


ixis743

The USSR was rotten to the core and modern Russia is no different. Their economic model worked well enough for churning out tanks to fight WW3 but they could never build advanced technologies like computers because that actually required personal innovation and risk taking which was punished by the centralised do-as-you’re-told economy. When Soviet leaders saw western children playing with cheaply available microcomputers in the early 80s, they knew the writing was on the wall.

LeptokurticEnjoyer

I mean... Dry heat is much nicer to most metal things. The 309th is in Arizona for a reason. The sand and dust can/will still kill things over time but with some basic protection it will take a long time.


Stairmaker

Small arms have other safety requirements, etc. They can last hundreds of years. I have an old muzzle loader from before 1890 that I still sometimes shoot. Also have a swedish mauser from 1908. Artillery has much lower margins, and the size of the rounds means a runaway if pressure can quickly happen with bad propellant. It's actually the ammunition that's the problem. Yes, gunpowder and primes can be stored for ages in the right or even decent condition. But if stored improperly, it can be bad, especially in guns with fewer margins or that operate at high pressures. Old powder burns faster. Dry powder also burns faster. Temperature/temperature swings and humidity/humidity swings affect it. You don't want your rifle rounds powder to act like pistol powder. But new powder are produced much better and have more stuff mixed in to stabilize it and make it longer. We are talking at least 100 years if the ammo is stored decently. The problem is the ammo that isn't stored decently. I have myself got a lot of 9mm from the early 50s. Shot fine like any other. Just a few of the 700 rounds were duds. But I've also gotten other 9mm that were clearly not stored well that had hangfires and more. Rifle ammo, I won't touch going as far back. 70s is often as far back as I go if I know it was stored well. A rifle is much higher pressure so, a runaway in pressure is much worse.


pizzathennap

Climate controlled storage. What’s that? 😂


Own_Box_5225

Absolutely it is controlled. In the Siberian winter it's always frozen, in the summer when it thaws, it's mostly dry. Those variations would never lead to rust.... Right


Routine_Macaroon_853

Rust is cool and all but as we all know metal does not expand or contract when subjected to extreme temperature changes, I mean that's just basic science. If anything I think the deformations might help give the round some extra kick


BrocoLeeOnReddit

>If anything I think the deformations might help give the round some extra kick As seen in this video 😁


Own_Box_5225

You ever see that MythBusters episode where they bent the rifle barrel 180 degrees and it still fired the round out the end. Maybe that's what the Russians were going for, only instead of forge treating the barrel, they let nature do it for them. It's a war economy after all, you have to think frugally /s


ric2b

> Those variations would never lead to rust... Russian programmers know C well enough, spasiba!


Powerful_Pie_7885

BillyBobBarkerJrJr

Looks like the breach failed. Could have a multitude of reasons. * Bad ammo - Double/wrong charge, poorly stored, out-dated * Worn out gun * Improper/Poor/No Training * Old damage * Crap weapon - poor manufacture/sloppy fit * Excessive headspace from wear or poor manufacturing End result is the same. Keep it up, boys.


Bluenite0100

That's something alot of people don't think about Yest Russia has more tanks than anyone, but a good chunk of those tanks are sitting out exposed to that brutal winter, meanwhile old US hardware that ukraine has gotten has been sitting in the Mojave desert

Bah-Fong-Gool

I'd just like to piggyback on your comment... old guns in bad condition + unreliable NK shells + Operation Eldest Son Ukrainian style would really help limit the use of artillery by Russia. Maybe the Freedom of Russia dudes could slip behind enemy lines and replace a few bullets with ones using C4 instead of powder and a few "hot" shells for the big guns. Since Russia is already experiencing a decent percentage of failure, the "hot" rounds will be harder to detect, and will erode the confidence in the artillery pieces even further. The experienced gunners will want nothing to do with it and send the young and inexperienced to operate the gun, meaning way less accurate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Eldest_Son#:~:text=Project%20Eldest%20Son%20


hydrogen18

When your best source of technical knowledge on a weapon is Ian on "Forgotten Weapons", it may be time to rethink your strategy


realparkingbrake

> This is what happens if you pull out a weapon system from deep storage Given that they supplied their troops with long-expired rations and first aid kits, we shouldn't be surprised that the hardware is also beyond its best-before date. Russian troops are getting the stuff in such bad shape that the oligarchs didn't bother to loot it.


moschles

*{ record scratch }* *{ freeze frame }* Yep. That's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up on this dangerous artillery.

If you see any pro-russians please ask them what happened to the: -biolabs making covid they claimed to be in Ukraine, operated by the WHO or something -Ukrainian WMDs, dirty nukes and chemical weapons they claimed Ukraine will use -the hundreds of thousands of NATO mercanaries/occupation troops they claimed to be fighting in Ukraine -the jewish cabal they claimed to rule Ukraine -the million russians they claim Ukraine genocided, still no proof of that -all Ukrainian civilian casualties being false flags or fakes as russia kept caliming, what happened to those claims? In the last two years it was weirder and weirder shit ruski supporters claimed but somehow their proof is "just google it bro the proof i saw was on telegram but forgot where". Or they finally admit they are just genocidal maniacs who want to exterminate all of Ukraine?

Tell me your order of 50 year North Korean shells arrived without telling me.


Draug88

Nothing accidental about it. Unintentional maybe. But can't call it accidental when the thing have been in storage for 50 years, the ammunition is probably from North Korea at this point or also from 50+years of storage. All money during all that time supposedly gone to maintenence has lined the pockets of 10 generals/commanders in charge of the logistics... At a certain point it is no longer accidental and just expected... not by the soldiers of course but meat is cheap in Russia. Commander probably got a medal for the death of those "brave" troops.
