You've never been given the Submarine Vs Submersible lecture, have you? It's a fucken treat.
Not really a thing in my line of work but please do go on; I like this stuff.
A submersible is any craft designed to work underwater, whearas a submarine is a craft that is fully selfsufficient and can move and renew its air autonomously, without needing to be supplied by a nearby platform or ship i.e. all submarines are submersibles, but not all submersibles are submarines.
I never could have realised it would have taken something so simple, but my life is now complete.

Damn. Now I have to throw out all my books on "submarines" written before the 50s. They were clearly all lies.
If my memory serves me Leo 2 can go 4 meters under water and Russian T-72. 80 and 90 can go 6 meters. Or maybe it was other way around. It's been 16 years from my tanker days.
How often do you want to do that, though? Tanks get stuck in things, and that's one of the worst places to get stuck that doesn't involve people shooting at you.
Yeah. It's definitely something you only do if you're in desperate situation or you've time to check the riverbed.
I know where you'll be able to get a pile of near-new speed governors for cheap in a few months.
Ukraine: "How fast can these go?"
US military liaison: "Well, it's rated for 45 mph under ideal conditions"
Ukraine: "But how fast can they REALLY go, you know after we remove the speed limiters?"
US Military liaison: "I'm pretty sure that voids the warranty"
While behind him the tanker is holding up a sign saying “Super fucking fast bro!”
Pfffft, the military always has excuses for something. "That's not feasible," "it only offers a 10% performance improvement for a 50% decrease in component life," "mounting that many M2s on a Land Rover will warp the frame if more than 2 of them fire at the same time*," "that's a definite violation of the Geneva Convention," "I'm calling security."
Fucken crybabies.
*apparently a fact discovered by some over-eager lads in the SASR.

The neo-Nazi mercenary group Wagner has recently suffered a severe defeat at the hands of rebel fighters in the Central African Republic during an ambush. The PMC is involved in battling for control of gold and diamond sources in CAR, and has been accused of the theft of Africa's natural resources.
acleddata.com
The ACLED has carried out an analysis into their activities in CAR and Mali, and found that the rate at which Wagner targets civilians during their battles exceeds 50% in CAR and 70% in Mali-- which outpaces not only almost all government forces around the world, but also the insurgents/rebels threatening those African countries' governments.
Wagner is currently dispatched to about 6 or 7 conflicts in the African continent, on behalf of the Russian government, before we even get to Ukraine. Its force in the CAR alone is larger than the entirety of the Ukrainian Azov Battalion and Right Sector, upon which the Russian government has focused its "de-Nazification" propaganda.

Nonsense! Wagner is just fighting off foreign meddlers over control for Russia's natural resources which just happen to be temporarily located in Africa.
So it seem the Wagner group got one of their recruitment videos played on Infowars recently, a video designed to appeal to the you-know-whos of course. Can't seem to find an article about it showing on Google search yet other than the latest Knowledge Fight podcast episode, and this Scottish dude;
Hate to see synthwave being abused like that too.

Didn't you know? Africa has historically always been part of Russia. Those poor Africans have been separated from the motherland for far too long.
