What do you think of Kalergi planThey are fighting for us
Never heard of itWhat do you think of Kalergi plan
Probably cause looking at the proportions of that tube against the one running it, plus the style of the baseplate and bipod, it lines up really well with the 82 mm Soviet/Russian pattern mortars like the 2B14 Podnos you see all over the Ukraine war. It’s clearly bigger than a 60 mm, but nowhere near the bulk and crew weight of a 120 mm, and the fact it’s set up in the woods suggests it’s meant for quick moves and short setup times and that's exactly the sweet spot the 82 mm fills. They probably have been on the front for a while given the nonchalant way of dealing with that thing.I think that's a 82mm mortar that they're using?
yeah, but instead it blew up in their faces than actually fire, a very very bad misfireProbably cause looking at the proportions of that tube against the one running it, plus the style of the baseplate and bipod, it lines up really well with the 82 mm Soviet/Russian pattern mortars like the 2B14 Podnos you see all over the Ukraine war.

Could happen to anyone I guess, especially if you’ve been on the front for a long stretch. Fatigue, stress etc and the constant repetition of standard drills can make them feel routine to the point where your brain starts cutting corners without you even realising. That’s when the little safety checks, the ones that are second nature when you’re fresh start to get skipped or rushed. In mortar work tolerances are usually tight and the margin for error is small. I saw another Russian squad probably storm Z troops (not VDV) driving a quad over a mine on a video in a thread of this forum, entire torso blown off, means they didn't mind not taking safety precautions like mine sweeping.yeah, but instead it blew up in their faces than actually fire, a very very bad misfire
