More like OverKompensator

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No. built 1 prototype + 4 serial production

Rate of fire 1 round per 5 minutes

Not very scary. It's a parade float.

But it is a ridiculous monster, and for that alone, I love it.

[-] ChocoboRocket@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Shagohod prototype confirmed

[-] Rotten_potato@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Well, it's intended for nukes. 1 every 5 minutes ought to do the job.

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah but you're forgetting counter battery fire. It only drives 19 mph. With nuclear artillery on both sides shooting it would be suicide. It's a pretty stupid weapon.

When are they rolling these out to the Ukraine? Can't be any less accurate than the shit they're hitting schools and hospitals with now.

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

A kind reminder that saying "the Ukraine" is incorrect. Just like using the article is incorrect with any other country name (unless it's a group of states, islands, etc.). And it may be triggering to some Ukrainians, because of the parallels to Russian "на Украине", which basically implies that Ukraine is a region, not an independent country.

When the Nazis the ruzzians were looking for were not in Ukraine, but in the comment section correcting grammar all along.

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Guilty as charged. But to be fair to Ruzzians, I was in Kyiv at the time of invasion. Perhaps, it was all justified after all.

[-] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Lol. Glad you weren't offended, I was trying to make a lighthearted joke and after posting thought i sounded removed.

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

Hey, if I survived an invasion, I can certainly survive a little jab at my grammar policing ;)

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Those aren't misses.

[-] rotkehlchen@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

If they stopped too fast, would they fall over?

[-] xuxebiko@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Any idea whether it has seen action in Ukraine yet?

[-] PugJesus@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

It probably would see action, except Russia probably doesn't have enough to cannibalize for one working model, lmao
