They could be bombed with a bunch of anonymous drones and then see their reaction . Imagine them with nuclear weapons!
Anyway their actions urgently need a very strong response.
No, they should be bombed with sea launched cruise missiles, but that's another day's work.
I doubt it tbh (not saying the West shouldn't still act faster than they have been, vs mostly IMO reacting defensively to what Putin does when it comes to supplying Ukraine).
Those Iranian exploding drones may be accurate (from what I read, they are GPS guided), but (maybe some militarily knowledgeable people will correct me if wrong), they are quite small and amount of explosives is not very big when compared to more familiar weapons, likes of dumb or smart aircraft dropped bombs, ballistic missiles or cruise missiles.
They are not powerful enough to destroy most buildings etc. that they are aimed at completely, I don't think Russia ever will have enough of any missiles or drones (or possibly any other kind of equipment) to turn around the war for them unless China + Chairman Xi gets down off the fence and decides to become their supplier/armourer, or sets up some factories in Russia for them or the like.
There's also fact that (seemingly) mostly what they can do with these things (when they work and/or are not shot down) is wreck static military, dual use or even purely civilian infrastructure and spread terror by killing civilians. This has rarely been enough to win a war. Historically, when it has come close to achieving that its taken obscene amounts of death and destruction. I think, given where we are now + what the West has vested in Ukraine we would see NATO/US intervene directly before things ever got that bad in Ukraine.
Looks like a bog standard commercial 4x4
US spy chief: Russia using weapons at ‘unsustainable rate’
That is actually a genuine loss that has been made to look like the Russians struck a dud for propaganda purposes.
The video you're seeing is a clipped version of a longer video that was posted on a Russian Telegram channel above.
The full version shows the S-300 launcher getting destroyed at the start of the video. What it doesn't show is another launcher and radar station trying to escape from the same scene as where the first launcher is hit. A second Russian Lancet drone then appears to destroy the radar station.
Should Iran be bombed with drones as they support mass terrorism with drones in Russia?
They need to feel the consequences.
Russia's attacks on Ukrainian cities have improved the results of the Armed Forces at the front - Pentagon
According to the US Department of Defense, attacks to spread panic among civilians, hoping to reduce the resolve of the people, do not work, which has been proven historically. One of the Pentagon officials stressed at a briefing that such actions by Russia are another war crime.
"If you look at the history and look at the air campaigns that tried to strike at the psyche and suppress people, it doesn't work. And for that matter, you saw that in the case of Ukrainians, this led to an improvement in their results," the US Department of Defense said in a statement.
Boom...
Would be great to see that alright (!), that and reappraisal of the USs slavish and unquestioning support of Israel that has reached new humiliating levels esp. under last 2 Republican presidencies. The great champion of democracy in the ME but seemingly very, very ambivalent about helping Ukraine and doing their benefactor a good turn vs staying off Putin's naughty list, keeping all the lovely Russian oligarch money washing into the country and the like...
I swear we will see them pop up in Mariupol or Melitopol one day by surprise.
Looks like they want to clear the city of pro Ukrainian insurgents and engage in urban warfare using their cannon fodder. Slaughter coming to Kherson.
There was a short black out in Kherson.
US Senator Murphy: If Saudi Arabia isn't willing to take the side of Ukraine and U.S. over Russia, why should we keep these Patriots in Saudi Arabia when Ukraine and our NATO allies need them? We should remove these Patriot batteries from Saudi Arabia and move them to Ukraine.
I approve of that sentiment, I was wondering similar.
There was no pre-reported black out for Kharkiv, Lyman, or the recent successful offensive in Kherson two weeks ago.
There could be some truth in that. The Ukrainians have form for bluffs and subterfuge and hoodwinking of the Russians.
Which is why we will actually see a big push in Donbass
Looks like the big Ukrainian push on Kherson is coming shortly :
And what about all the other stuff everyone else is supplying Ukraine with? Lying shits. They are as duplicitous as the Orcs, but then they have a long track record of that, most recently in their denials of a targeted deliberate murder of Palestinian female journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh.
And here you see the indominatable Ukrainians fitting a mini machine gun to make a hunter-killer drone to deal with the Shahed-136 drones.
Slava Ukraini
Either way, the west need to stop its nonsense. You can't win a war in dribs and drabs, that is a recipe for defeat. They must act with maximum force, short of nuclear.
"On the question of weapons there's always a possibility, and this has happened time and again, that weapons that we supplied in one battlefield end up in Iranian hands used against us," said Netanyahu. "In the Golan Heights, where we're trying to prevent Iran from creating a second Lebanon front, a second terrorist front against us, we encounter Israeli made weapons."
Netanyahu warns weapons provided to Ukraine could end up in Iran - The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com)
The Ukrainians won't fold no matter how hard they are hit. The new Russian general seems like a complete headcase.
This is a disturbing image, it's like something out of a Bond movie.
BS, the previous two big surges were preceded by news blackouts and a couple days ago the Ukraine armed forces offical Telegram channel was urging everyone not to post media or comments based on the Kherson offensive.
Given what was revealed after the two previous news blackouts were lifted, I am taking it as forshadowing significant events unfolding.
On a piece of equipment called a pig
Wallace is steering clear of the ongoing Tory car crash
This is quite intense; some Ukrainian troops are travelling at high speed when there is a shot through the windscreen that seems to enter the dash, but the original text says he was injured, but he keeps his foot down.
I wonder was the vehicle supplied by Australia or the UK?
I wouldn't read too much into it.
Anytime Ukraine has done something big, it's come totally out of the blue. Seems unlikely they are going to pre-announce the time and place of an operation to the Russians.
If the west doesn't act fast Ukraine will be crippled within 2 weeks.
Anti-aircraft gunners of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after Yakov Handzyuk told how they actively use the S-60 anti-aircraft guns to fight the invaders.
I believe someone mentioned these...
Wow, Zelensky saying Russia has destroyed a third of Ukraine's power stations over the last week.
