Russians Spotted Unable to Identify Their Own Rocket - Technology Org

Weapon identification is not just some hobby of amateur military experts online. It is actually an important task. By identifying weapons in the enemy forces – including the types of their rockets – you can gather a lot of important intel.

For example, if you know what weapons are used against you with a high degree of effectiveness, you can prepare your defense accordingly. However, Russians in Ukraine, apparently, are struggling with this issue.

A clueless Russian soldier with an unexploded MO.1.01.04M meant for the TOS-1A (Screenshot).

Two Russian soldiers found an unexploded rocket in a field in the Avdiivka region in Ukraine and identified it as “something Western”.

That was a large rocket – one of the Russian soldiers measured it with his steps and estimated it to be around 3 metres long, albeit a smaller diameter. Russians filmed the inscriptions on the body of the unexploded rocket up close too, but quickly dismissed them as being something written in English.

However, as noted by war observer Oleksandr Kovalenko, it is clearly a Russian rocket. There is not even a crumb of doubt and these two Russian soldiers didn’t need any special knowledge or training to figure this one out.

“I don’t know where these “experts” saw English letters on the hull of the rocket, without noticing the Cyrillic characters “КБ” and “3Д” (apparently they don’t even know the Russian alphabet, let alone Latin), but their rocket turned out to be a rocket-propelled projectile MO.1.01.04M for TOS-1A Solntsepyok”, Kovalenko writes.

The TOS-1A Solntsepyok is a multiple rocket launcher capable of using thermobaric warheads. Russia is the manufacturer and the main user of the TOS-1A, although the defenders of Ukraine managed to destroy a handful of them.

Ukraine reportedly captured at least 3 TOS-1As and four TZM-Ts during the ongoing war and at least one of them was used against the Russian positions.

However, even so, Ukraine barely has any of the TOS-1A systems. And it doesn’t even matter – the only thing that matters is that that particular rocket was not from the Western countries and did not have any English inscriptions.

According to Kovalenko, that video is interesting because it is the first recorded malfunctioning MO.1.01.04M and the rocket was produced in 2023.

Also, this rocket landed in Russian-controlled territory. That is, it could have fallen on the heads of the occupiers themselves. Russia is using weapons straight from the factory and they are already malfunctioning dangerously.

Regarding the inability to identify their own rocket, this Russian mistake is merely funny, because they made and uploaded this video themselves.

However, in some cases, these mistakes can be dangerous, because unexploded munitions can be extremely dangerous depending on their type and how you treat them.

i think my favorite thing of any and all Palworld drama ive seen thus far is the insistence that it positively promotes slavery and sweatshops, while if you actually partake in any entirely optional slavery or formation of sweatshops the game itself it more ways than one makes it abundantly clear to you that what youre doing is morally reprehensible and makes you a bad person

One of the real perks of 2.0 is that they finally made death races fun

Got Necromus. Paladius ended up getting no-clipped through a sand dune and into The Backrooms by my rocket launcher, so that put a damper on completing the fight. Still got a victory, though.

buffy summers really is the most character ever. she averted the apocalypse multiple times. she came back from the dead twice. she fought dracula and won. her first impulse when someone said they thought she was just a myth was to tell them "you were myth-taken." she led a workers' uprising while wielding a hammer and sickle. she couldn't fucking drive. she killed a demon with a rocket launcher stolen from the us military. she was really into figure skating. once she fucked so hard that the building she was in collapsed. she got a job slinging burgers. and she was even bisexual

P.S. As you look at the pile of missiles, remember that all this war crime committed by the Russians came about thanks to "corrupt politicians", "pacifists" and "entrepreneurs" who made their business deals with the Kremlin at the expense of the security of Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, from 2008 to 2022, the West was led by the dumbest generation of politicians the West has seen since the 17th century...absolute idiots dressed in expensive suits whose only skill is counting money in other people's wallets and pushing bureaucratic papers...

I know for a fact that people are responding with orientalism, fetishization, and fandomization of the Israel / Palestine conflict. Because there is no way in hell that the American left would have responded the same way to October 7 happening in America.

Imagine if 364 people had been killed by AK assault rifles in a mass shooting at a music festival in America. I think the response from the American left would be much different. There would been have been universal condemnation and a push to dismantle and disarm the known hate group that planned and executed the shooting. There would have been common sense reforms planned to prevent the exact same thing from happening again.

But the mass shooting killed 364 Israelis, not 364 Americans. It was accompanied by 5000 rockets aimed at civilian targets, 775 other fatal shootings, and 247 instances of human trafficking across international borders. Torture. Mutilation. Sexual violence. Infants shot multiple times.

Somehow, that means the response from the American left has fully reversed. Many of them have, in essence, said that “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” They used the opportunity to glorify terrorists who mass-murdered civilians with the intent to commit genocide. Isn’t that what the American alt-right normally does in response to violence?

The necessary disclaimer here is that none of this should serve to justify the actions of the Israeli government. A military force that is typically known for having historically low rates of civilian death now has historically high rates— there is no excuse for that. The amount of sheer Israeli incompetence that allowed the attack to happen in the first place, and led such a disproportionate response, is nothing but a complete humanitarian failure of the Likud administration.

But I remember distinctly how many Americans glorified Hamas and called for the destruction of Jews in Israel on October 7th. During the terrorist attack. Before Israel’s military response. Clearly, no military response of any kind could have been justified by the people who usually beg for violent hate groups to get disarmed.

This is a kind of conflict many of them will never have to actually reconcile with, because the while the average American can access an automatic rifle, they can’t access a rocket launcher. Lacking insight into geopolitical history, the realities of warfare, and any actual ties to the real people being killed, they turned their slacktivism into a show. Hamas are Good Guys and Zionists are Bad Guys. And as long as it’s happening several thousand miles away, a Good Guy with a Gun becomes a perfect fantasy.

Proseka headcanons

-as rui’s childhood friend, nene has extensive fire safety knowledge

-shizuku is adopted, hence why she looks so different from shiho. she was adopted shortly before the moon rabbit event and it contributed to her clinginess

-shiho forgets this fact sometimes. she’ll casually mention something like shizuku got all mom’s good genes so unfair and ichika has to be. um. shiho

-kanade is mildly nearsighted/myopic but spends so much time at her computer she hasn’t noticed

-emu is buff. she climbs multiple stories without breaking a sweat and is canonically part of the swimming, handball and rhythmic gymnastic clubs, you can’t tell me she doesn’t have some muscle

-saki helps out as a human notepad for tsukasa, reminding of him things he would otherwise forget within 5 minutes

-the vocaloids also help. at first it was unnerving to have hatsune miku be an extension of his psyche that knows his darkest secret (stole saki’s candy when he was 6) but now his phone has a more reliable catgirl themed reminder system

-you know that classic nightmare of leaving the house without pants? tsukasa has legitimately done that as a kid. he forgor. (saki will never let him live it down)

-in the kamiyama student council/hall monitor room, an has put up at sign saying “_ days since last kamishiro incident”

-the shinonome siblings both figured out the other one was gay before they figured it out about themselves

-airi’s great at trivia from her time as a variety show star. she still can’t beat minori at idol trivia, though

-ena keeps a diary with fort knox level security. try to read it and you’ll lose a finger

-saki learned to crochet from the old ladies in the hospital

-shiho’s most treasured phenny is a somewhat lumpy crocheted phenny holding a very lumpy crocheted bass guitar

-tsukasa snores. he falls asleep in 10 seconds and sounds like a dying lawnmower

-mizuki has learned a small bit of french from their sister and uses it exclusively to teach rui and an how to swear in french

-emu still celebrates her grandfather’s birthday, even if he’s not there to celebrate with her

-ena is allergic to dogs, the middle point to airi’s cat allergy and akito’s dog phobia

-rui has various small scars from his experiments over the years, but nobody ever believes the real causes (rocket launcher, robot bite, exploding balloon animal, etc.) so he just makes up a new cause every time someone asks

-mmj! has had repeated incidents of minori and airi’s little siblings walking into frame when streaming at their houses. shiho understands the concept of a livestream but has still been caught failing at creeping past like that one new broadcast of the guy crawling along the floor

-kanade has pots & eds, this one I have a reason for look at her symptoms. chronic exhaustion, heat and cold intolerance, comorbid sleep issues and depression, dizziness when standing up, fainting after standing up, very pale skin, family history of medical issues, pain at normal physical activities, exercise intolerance, vertigo at mild exertion, she just fucking dies during the entire baseball event, I could go on. she canonically gets pain in her hands from opening a jar girl that is not just being out of shape that is physical disability. this one I will go conspiracy board on listen to me I’m right

-kohane ate bugs as a kid. an is horrified, toya is confused, akito is impressed

-ena and airi got in trouble in middle school because they’d keep starting fist fights in defense of the others honor. if they saw the other in a fight they’d jump in guns blazing no hesitation no questions ask ready to throw the fuck down

-vbs!rin and len were given a skateboard by an and then promptly had the skateboard confiscated by meiko for property destruction

-haruka is horrible with slang. she asks the stream chat what poggers means and immediately uses it completely wrong, killing all viewers on impact

-minori is torn between thinking it’s cute and wanting to die

-toya has been banned from arcades before because he made them lose too much money/they suspected he was cheating

-ena brought kanade over for girls night and nearly scared akito half to death because he went down to get a late night snack and there was some Ghastly Creature looming in his kitchen

-kohane's parents stick out like a sore thumb when going to her live shows. it mortifies her that everyone on vivid street can recognize them as the only milquetoast middle aged couple dressed in normal clothes loudly going YOU'RE DOING GREAT SWEETIE that don't know the first thing about music

-minori knows basic programming. she mostly uses it for forums, blogs, html, other web design things usually related to idols as a hobby, but she's become the groups designated anti-shizuku tech support

-mafuyu has always been able to see ghosts but after adults figured she was just playing pretend as a kid so she shrugged and figured it was normal and not worth bringing up again

-honami has one of those massive extended families and somehow keeps track of them all. at any given time cousin #57 can crawl out of the woodwork and she remembers their new job, favorite food, past three romantic relationships and list of allergic reactions

-mizuki does doll customizing as a hobby. they prefer making human sized clothes, but it's fun to make them miniature too. they've introduced shizuku to it and she loves it, but doesn't have the heart to do anything that would hurt the doll (sawing limbs off, dunking them in boiling water, shoving wires in them, etc.)
