well if you hit Dublin or Belfast directly you are wasting a lot of blast radius over the Irish sea..
Like I said, if you wanted maximum damage and possible multi city damage, you would offset the target destination.
His tears of frustration were prepared before he made his first post and the witch hunt started before he posted it seems.
the point I was making is that it could be construed as an advantage from either side
Lads who were in the fca 30 years ago ?
Their mood has really changed in the last 2-3 weeks. They admit that the mobilisation and the war itself is going badly. They're still coming out with crazy stuff like talk of nuking the West but their demeanour is much more downbeat.
It was going well till it All became fake News
And a whole lot more
What are you doing by mentioning Greta Thumberg there? Trying to own the libs?
I just don't get how your mind joined these dots
Yeah this is a massive worry to potential defectors who have family left behind.
The family of a 'traitor' are treated as traitors has been a 'motivating factor' since biblical times
They could easily have been laying charges to destroy these communication lines for years. And I'd be surprised if they didn't do this even before the war crimes against Ukraine started
Just like I'm pretty sure NATO have kill switches on lots of Russian fixed infrastructure when they can hide it
Perhaps all these Russian refugees could be shipped to Ukraine and be put to work rebuilding all the damaged and destroyed stuff.
The Ukrainians I am sure, wouldn't want them or have the time or spare resources to devote to this at the moment, but if it could be done, I suspect the attitudes of most of those Russians would soon change. Having to deal first hand with what Russia has done would be educational, like nothing else could be.
Big fire reportedly at Brylivka of Kherson region, possible gas pipeline on fire
If Greta Thurnberg was dead she would be rolling over in her grave at all the carbon being released into Europe now
Here is a Russian named Konstantin, who had to get out of Moscow in a hurry for reasons and fled to Tashkent. Describes his experience in the Airport waiting to clear passport control. He is originally from Rostov-on-Don, and worked for a number of years in the United States in the 90s, before returning to Russia and working with a company on electrical projects over the past 2 decades. (wind to start)
I liked the videos of the Russian pundits talking Shiite as they grow more desperate. Used to see it posted in here quite often but must keep missing it lately.
No mention of them at all, but if they take more towns and cities they should be able to make big progress without them ,34 HiMars along with the other MLRS systems gives them an advantage they didn't have a few months ago
The whole road? Seems a bit harsh.
Rational thinking on who blew up the pipelines: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/9/28/2125767/-Nord-Stream-pipelines-were-sabotaged-and-the-best-suspect-is-the-nation-that-sabotaged-them-before
Wouldn't put it past Putin to say to draft dodgers: "Come back to Russia or I'll stick your whole family in a gulag."
Even better,and with more HIMARS in place,means more destroyed Russian equipment,ammo depots and command centres,bridges etc,
Dont know if ATACMS are part of it though as of yet.
Yes i agree but russian autumn muds etc ligher soviet tanks mean lower weight and lower height advantage
There will be alot of demands to buy HIMARS in the future,both US army,Taiwan are also looking to buy more,and i am sure alot of European customers would want it too,
So they are looking for ways to build more faster.
I 80% agree with you. Putin needs to be taken down by his own people. That won't happen if the relief valve is there to flee across borders. There's talks the Kazakh border may already be closed to Russian military age males.
Lord knows it's complicated. Any country bordering Russia with Russian military age men knows the problems they can bring and justification by the Kremlin thereafter.
Their own on people fleeing in Ukraine. Russian Safari.
Thats the whole idea,and perfect for sabotage for fhe russians since its not being used
Polish ambassador was on RTE Radio this evening. She said don't let them in - as far as she is concerned, the vast bulk of them are Putin supporters and support the invasion.
Germany was the primary partner & financial benefactor for NS1&2. Germany has decided to ween itself off of Russian energy imports completely by 2024. This is the official long term policy. It has broad and robust support across all parties in Germany bar the far right (AfD) & far left (Linke) parties. Most of the other primary EU beneficiaries of LNG from the pipelines have adopted similar long term policy shifts. So what tangible motivation would there be for the US to sabotage them given the restructuring of energy policy & infrastructure already underway? The energy leverage the Kremlin has is short term and ever decreasing with time.
Weight doesn’t have a direct correlation to floatation, it’s more a factor for load-bearing like bridges. As long as the weight can be sufficiently spread, you can travel on softer ground, it’s why off-roaders will lower their tyre pressures. A 45tonne T72 is about 0.9kg/cm2. An M1A2 at 69t is 1.08, a 63 tonne Leopard 2A5 is more like 0.83. So even though Leopard is a substantially heavier tank and that has ramifications on where it can drive and what can recover it, it will go places that the lighter T72 cannot without sinking. For comparison, a HMMWV at lowest operating setting for mud is about 2.1kg/cm2, so you can see the relative difference for tanks is reasonably academic.
It's not popular to say but it's true, they're not refugees, their country isn't under attack. Deny them entry to other states and let them cause trouble for russia domestically. They only time they ran is when they were in the spotlight, they didn't care about the genocidal war their country is waging in Ukraine.
Please God tell me you didn't hit the red Button!!😲😱💀!!!
😑🤐🙊
But only for a short moment, just our luck.
Why demolish it when you could repurpose the building as something to help Ukrainian refugees?
