More like OverKompensator

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.

Shagohod prototype confirmed

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

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years 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.

Too late, they were sold on the black market in the 90s for a counterfeit Gucci bag and a brand-new Walkman.

*Waulkman - the real Walkman received in this exchange was also immediately sold for a counterfeit

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago

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

Any idea whether it has seen action in Ukraine yet?

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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