Moldova PM Natalia Gavrilița is on visit in Ukraine
There was comments on one of the videos suggesting the Gepard was still tracking it while it was falling (obviously it would fire where the missile will be, not where it is, leading the target etc...). Maybe they fire a few more bursts just to make sure all the warhead and fuel has been destroyed in the air (prevent more damage when it hits the ground)
Asking if Zelensky could please sort out the transnistria problem as soon as he has a spare moment and the forces to spare.
Very intersting that their power problem is because 30% or so of their power comes from Ukraine and the rest from transnistria - if I recall correctly.
Id like a link to that, does transnistria have gas as a resource?

Great interview with Jeffrey Sachs who has denounced the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
the guy is an absolute legend, campaigning for an end to the war.
You don't say! What an original position to take, joining countless voices across the world. Maybe he just phone Putin and tell him to get the f**k out of Ukraine. A special advisor to the UN, a body which has been demonstrably shown to be useless in this situation and should be disbanded.
Campaigning to who to end the war?
One person can end this war overnight. Most western world leaders have been calling for Putin to end this war, are they also absolute legends in your eyes?
I'm sick of people campaigning for the war to end and always look to Ukraine or the west to end this war, never actually asking the aggressor to end it. Something that Putin can do unilaterally.
The geppard is pretty much a front line weapon ,
Designed to travel with Tanks and armoured vehicles to provide cover against planes / helicopters and anything else it's radar can pick up ,
It's on a tank chassis ..so should be able to go where they go ..
Nato enlargement=we retake Crimea, they were told it seems
Eastern Ukraine is ethnically Russian it seems, they were told it seems
And on a completely unrelated note I'm going to take this big bag of Russian diamonds with me.
The aim is Novorossiya. Under no circumstances should the Russia fanboys get their way and be rewarded with Novarossiya.
The only way Putin and the Russian people will understand that war on neighbouring countries is futile is if they're beaten back to the pre 2014 borders. Otherwise it's rinse and repeat years again from now.
Calls for peace from the fanboys is BS. They are calling for Novorossiya and will be congratulating Putin for a successful endeavour off western social media outlets.
Two tough ladies.
Well, it is the mindset of ruSSkies and their groupies, not for you or me to understand. This level of retardness has been previously unknown to humanity and will be researched by scientists long after this war.
🔹 Ukrainian intelligence: stockpiles of high-precision missiles in the Russian Federation have fallen to a critical level, but there is another danger.
The United States has reduced the range of HIMARS transferred to Ukraine to avoid strikes on Russia.
Do you want the good news,or the bad?
All those countries planning on putting in orders for HIMARS should take note.
Indeed, the fanboys don't want "peace" at all. They want to see their beloved Putin emerge victorious from the war i.e. peace at a price, one that favours their Russian regime.
That's not quite accurate. The launchers (either through a physical or software mod) cannot launch the ATACMS. It's not like all of a sudden the current rockets they use in Ukraine have been nerfed in range.
Any country buying HIMARS would not be under the same restriction.
Actually it is accurate based on current news and events. Who mentioned ATACAMs?
The article you just linked mentions ATACMS.
In fact no where in those articles does it state that the current missiles supplied to Ukraine all have a shorter range now. What is the reduce range of the missiles Ukraine use now and what should it be?
To my understanding, they have the exact same range as they had when the HIMARS system entered into service in Ukraine.
The difference is it's been made public that the launchers were modified so they are unable to fire the long range rockets (ATACMS)
The impact from this latest strike was less severe. An AA missile hitting a cruise missile creates a Very loud explosion so not all reportedl explosions are successful strikes.
I wonder after the war if Ukraine achieve a full victory could they along with Moldova return transdinistria to it's rightful owner? Would they surrender if given an ultimatum?
Russia & it's pathetic Tankie apologists crying Wolf over Ukrainian counter attacks on Russian airbases hosting warplanes, whilst these same bases attack Ukraine civilian targets with missiles WTF? Meanwhile Russia launches continuous attacks from it's airbases & cruise missiles from Caspian Sea & Black Sea naval warships.

Ukraine would be more than justified in hitting back at any target inside Russia previously used to enable attacks on it's territory. Basic rules of war but NATO & the West is forcing Ukraine to essentially fight back with one hand behind it's back.
Ukraine giving up it's 600 cruise missiles & squadrons of Tupolev bomber warplanes was a massive mistake in retrospect.
Dragon's tooth decay. The quality team must have been mobilised.
Hopefully most of them just disintegrate but the pic might be just of a bad batch.
Could be, but it's hard to avoid concluding that everything that comes out of Russia these days is part of a bad batch.
People like him are prolonging the war,,encouraging Putin to continue his aggression, and it will all be sorted "with Talks" , meaning take as much as you can now Putin, and we will "regularize" it with talks. Better stance from him would be along the lines of " Mr. Putin, stop the bombing, take your army back to Russia, and le the talks begin. Otherwise, in the face of your continuing breaching international law, we will continually step up our efforts to drive you back to Russia. Now that would quicken the end of Putins war, and bring peace. Anything less than that is meaningless drivel, and only encouraging Putin.
Mica?
RusSIA?
An even more degenerative effect.
Rushed making them with a piss-poor concrete mix I'm guessing. Mother Nature is doing her bit for the war effort by eating away at those things with water & wind. If Ukraine are lucky, their tank threads might pulverize those Teeth when the time comes.
Wouldnt be surprised if Kremlin have something to do with this armed coup in Germany
Fits perfectly Putins hybrid warfare as seen before other places
Jesus mary and Joe but it looks like Russia planned to invade Japan after/or/with Ukraine with its 'wings of change' masterplan!!! could be taken seriously given they are already on a small disputed island on Japan's coast. Those Russians are truly nuts. It's becoming a real James Bond world-domination situation here. Especially if Chiana planned to take Taiwan too at the same time. Christ but we are unbelievably lucky to have Biden in the white house and Zelensky in the Ukraine. We would all be looking at a real-life dystopian Hunger games world by next year.
More indepth details from the whistle-blower regarding a potential conflict with Japan
Am a bit skeptical about it, I don't doubt that such a plan existed, but likely it was an internal appeasement exercise. their primary target has always been Ukraine, which has been on the cards a very long time for the Kremlin.
Of course if Moscow had a quick victory in Ukraine (which is exactly what they expected) then I have no doubt that anything would have been on the table, with Moldova likely next on their list.
