From the Ukraine army morning updates.
F'ing hell just listened to the rest of that video , the guys an apologist , that is a well "crafted " piece ,carefully put together to put a nice gloss on how poor old softie russia had to invade ..
In a slightly different era he'd be looking for the beautification of Beria ,
I'm amazed at far down a rabbit hole these guys ( who claim to see things as they are ) can go ..
Hard to read the channel name in the corner of my phone screen .
Kleptocracy now ?
Oligarchy now ?
Propagandist now ?
Skimping on the cement or thickness more likely.
The US sent himars ,made sense because they could fly them in,
everyone else sent m270 's ,same thing but bigger and tracked , who knows wether those were restricted or not , probably were .. I think they were all "upgraded" before shipping ..
The Boeing/Saab proposal to re-warhead the older non guided rockets ,that are all scheduled for destruction anyway could be a god send for Ukraine ,potentially longer range, small warhead , potential to be guided ,
And most importantly cheap (er,) and thousands of them could be churned out quick , they could end up replacing air power in assaults ..
Is this the same Jeffrey Sachs that called for a ceasefire in June? And blames the US and NATO for starting the war? The same Jeffrey Sachs that is a shill for the Chinese government? That same Jeffrey Sachs that was constantly criticising Fauci and the vaccine mandates while demanding that the vaccine manufacturers give it away to 3rd world countries for free?
Yes. Ok. That Jeffrey Sachs can go **** himself.
Looking at the picture it's not easy to say what's happening, yeah the concrete is deteriorating, but what's under it ? Is that a second layer of harder concrete ? Is it steel and hollow ? Could it be foam ( would love If it was ,but unlikely ,)
Still reckon a tank with a dozer blade would shunt these out of tbe way in seconds , and if they could be used as ballast to fill an anti tank ditch then all the better ..
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.
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.
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
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.
RusSIA?
An even more degenerative effect.
Mica?
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.
Could be, but it's hard to avoid concluding that everything that comes out of Russia these days is part of a bad batch.
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.
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.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-63882955
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.
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?
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)
Actually it is accurate based on current news and events. Who mentioned ATACAMs?
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.
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.
🔹 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.
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.
Two tough ladies.
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.
And on a completely unrelated note I'm going to take this big bag of Russian diamonds with me.
Nato enlargement=we retake Crimea, they were told it seems
Eastern Ukraine is ethnically Russian it seems, they were told it seems
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 ..
