Ukraine war Bullshit.

Hard to say, ZH usually does their due diligence on items they post.
Maybe, just pointing out that I think it was old news but Terry has a point as well.

It is an older vid for sure.
However, you can bet your red, white and blue ass that this one instance is not the only time those motherfuckers have done this type shit.
Yes I can not see why they wouldn't be taking anyone they can kidnap.

Captain Rom A Stevens, a retired senior US medical navy officer who has served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and East Africa, estimates that of the roughly 100,000 amputations performed on Ukrainian soldiers since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, as many as 75,000 were caused by improper use of tourniquets.
I remember seeing vids early on in the war with limbs that were basically rotting, it was also pointed out by a few people how tons of Ukrainian amputees are limbless at the torso, hence most likely the result of improper tourniquet use.

Had some fun at NRA Whittington with my AT-X a few weeks back. Shot out to 1900 yards and tried to connect at 2050 but ran out of elevation and the wind was going crazy. The round 1 mile target is 30" and we put a beating on it as you can see. Super happy with the AI and the experience at Whittington is highly recommended

Going from G3 1-10 to HD5 2-10?

The Mk5 is small, but not light for its size. Its compactness is also the source of the downsides. You can't change physics and the small exit pupil demands the tax be paid,
For what we do, I place eye relief depth and exit pupil high on my priority list.
This is exactly why we aren't NX8 fans. Wanted to be a fan but find them fairly unforgiving.

I totally get that cramming optics into smaller and smaller physical footprints mandates compromise and diminishing returns on what and how it can output an image. My opinion is that the Mk5HD 2-10 is really not that "compact" for its stated magnification range and 5x ratio erector. I honestly have found them to deliver well above what one would expect at first glance.

*I used to be a big Leupold fan in the 80s and 90s. By the 2000's they had pretty much pissed most of us off by only concentrating on the BassPro low end market and Mil Contract high end markets. Their quality slipped and their innovation damn sure stopped. I wanted to keep liking them but their stupid shit just wouldn't stop. Fast forward and we now see some of the employees that lived through all of the bad decisions get promoted far enough up the food chain to start driving some positive changes. For the first time in years, I am seeing them at least try to do things a lot better.
