I'm surprised they announced this as I can see various Ukroboronprom facilities becoming Russian targets, I imagine these would be produced in the Artyleriyske Ozbroyennia Design Bureaua in Kyiv?
The big question of course is how quickly can they be produced and how successful they will be, if 1000km is true it makes Moscow an easy target (if not shot down beforehand).
...
I'd assume they will have already been producing them. Moscow might be about to get some overdue payback.
..or they have been supplied with longer range munitions by a partner and have created a narrative to mask them with a home produced weapon.
Anyway interesting evenings for Moscow soon I reckon.
I can guarantee that, even if they had the capability, the Ukrainians are way too smart (as are the Americans) to even think about aiming a missile at Moscow.
Any thoughts to the contrary are pure fantasy.
Notwithstanding the temptation, I doubt they will target Russian civilians as of now. Too much to lose in way of support from ‘the west’. Have to stay above that sort of terrorism.
Completely correct analysis sir\madam.
I don't know, I swarm of drones hitting the Kremlin sounds like a very "elegant" message to Putin.
You say firing a nuclear weapon at Russia is WW 3…..surely the same applies to Russia firing one into Ukraine……?
Great suntan though before popping the clogs
My grandfather visited Russia between 1941 and 1944, and he said the locals weren't nice at all - in fact many of them fired artillery at him and his mates, some even had tanks.
I only went there once, about 20 years ago, back then it wasn't quite that bad.
Was....was he a Nazi?
This is extremely long by the standards of this Youtube channel (most of their intercepted call translations are only a minute or two long).
It's a riveting story though, of a Russian mobik's adventure all the way from Sakhlin island to the front-lines in Ukraine
Bird strike until I know more or Lightning.
Sneaky going into production code for we already have tones. 🤔
No, just a regular alcoholic. He said he served in long-range patrols (in the Finnish army, that is), but I'm not sure if anyone ever believed his war stories.
A missile recently fired from Belgorod as part of a salvo aimed at Ukraine, malfunctioned and then dived into a district of the city and exploded. It happened twice before in July also. And an SU-34 careened off a runway in Crimea, then went over a cliff and exploded. And a month ago:
Love every one of these mishaps. The worlds 2nd 22nd best military on display.
Probably stretching out maintenance cycles lack of parts. No surprise their falling out the air then.
Seems like a reasonable argument. I hope he is right.
They are better than that, much better. The time for targeting russia will come, but it won't be civilians, we are better than that
Russian drone gets blasted-
This retired general in CNN is recommending us military contractors on the ground. To help maintain/train on and probably actively support CRAMS and other equipment.
I mean it would make a huge difference no doubt and be the ultimate commitment. A huge escalation though, the US would be honor bound to protect their own people, being contractors wont change that.
I know its just a thought from some talking piece on CNN but I can see it becoming a real consideration if we are here this time next year. Surely better to do it sooner rather than later when a few thousand more people are dead.
Ukrainian Soldiers Unleash Czech 'Vampire' Rocket System On Russian Forces
That's all well and Good saying that from mammies box room somewhere safe in Ireland,no drones or missles are going to be bothering you any time soon..
Somehow I get the feeling the people of Kiev and karkhiv, Odessa, Kherson will want revenge,
When you say we your not actually saying alot ...
Cloudy with a chance of Reign ⚡⚡
No. Russia is nuclear armed, Ukraine is not.
Launch at Russia and it will retaliate in kind, Ukraine cannot.
In the situation whereby Russia were to launch a nuclear weapon (if that scenario ever occurred likely it would choose a small tactical nuke against a military target), there would be severe repurcussions, but no countries would automatically trigger WW3 by firing nuclear missiles at Russia.
Scenario A: Ukraine gets hit with nuclear weapon, no one retaliates against Russia with nuclear weapons, we are all alive.
Scenario B: Ukraine gets hit with nuclear weapon, countries fire on Russia, WW3 starts, most of us die.
No country will ever choose option B when option A is available.
..
Arab or Russian, I don't know-
Not just a theory. I heard an active, not retired General suggest something similar last week. It makes sense, the US has been using contractors in war zones for hundreds of years...
If you think that's going to happen you mustn't be paying attention. Ignore the CNN talking head.
They (the skinheads) were there because they were allowed to be there...the Management approved!!! Otherwise,,,,,,
