Reports from volunteers in Ukraine indicate that Western-supplied Javelin anti-tank missiles were initially useless due to a lack of batteries, requiring improvised solutions using motorcycle parts. The "Russians with Attitude" podcast is cited for its counter-perspective, claiming that Russian tanks have survived multiple Javelin hits. This raises questions about the actual combat effectiveness of expensive American military hardware compared to its marketing.

Nuclear expert Rod Adams, Baron of Blue Ridge, provides a technical breakdown of depleted uranium (DU) munitions used by A-10 Warthog pilots. Adams argues that DU is largely inert until impact, where it turns into a plasma form to pierce tank armor. The discussion addresses the controversy surrounding DU's alleged link to birth defects, with Adams suggesting such claims are often anti-nuclear propaganda.
