There is a better chance of the UA being in Sebastopol and the Kerch bridge by early autumn than Russia even holding what it now holds. They may make some small short-term gains but the new weapons are game changers.
I'm not so sure about that,the republicans are in the russians pocket,and Trump himself declared putin a genius!
Like this hopefully
If Trump was still in power his response to that would be
'' If Russia fires a nuke, then Russia as a country will no longer exist, it will be wiped off the world map forever''
And it's the only talk that Russia understand. Trump did it with North Korea too, and what was their response, to talk, to become friendly with Trump.
It's a fantastic system, they can be gone before anyone on the receiving end even thinks "counter battery fire". Quality & precision is demonstrating it's superiority over quantity. Now just to get that landslide of heavy weapons sliding a little faster!
Ah well, buy sh1tty russian weapons, win sh1tty NATO prizes 😏
It can arrive in a location with no more than 2 crew unleash a barrage and be on the way to another location or safety in a few minutes.
It's a pretty brilliant system in there is similar systems but I think the Archer has an edge over the other compatible systems, I've been following the development of the system for over 10 years now ,two systems I said should be deployed was the CV90 and archer but there's not many currently fielded by the swedish themselves 14 at the last count by they have an order for 40 + systems
600 Brimstones, 19 Caesars, Archers, CV90s... A great day.
Military assistance to Ukraine. The main thing for today:
Poland will transfer C-60 complexes and 70 thousand ammunition;
Britain will provide 600 Brimstone missiles;
Latvia will hand over the Stinger air defense system, two Mi-17 helicopters, UAVs and conduct training for two thousand Ukrainian servicemen;
Estonia will transfer dozens of FH-70 and D-30 howitzers, hundreds of anti-tank grenade launchers, thousands of 155-mm ammunition;
The Czech Republic will assist in the maintenance of the equipment already provided;
Denmark will hand over 19 Caesar ACS to Ukraine;
Sweden- BMP CV90, ACS Archer and ATGM NLAW;
Nothing to see here, move along...
The Slavs to the east of Germany in the EU are not going to go along with Berlin from here on, they openly question if German leaders loyalty is to Moscow FFS.
The division Germany has fostered will be playing out in European politics for many years to come.
If the Ukraine is left in then it will be a very large counter weight, which is why I can never see France and Germany allowing that to happen.
Germans. Good at tech, bad at sales.
I heard some details of the Archer today I found interesting. Iirc it can fire 8 rounds in one minute. Those rounds can be fired at different trajectories towards the same target area so they arrive all at the same time. It can also fire Excalibur. That's some headache for the vatniks.
It's probable they hit the airbase with special forces, just as they did at the other one where they blew up the 3 choppers.
Only because it was found out. The Serbs are, pound for pound, worse inherent fascist / ultra-nationalists than even the Russians. There is 220 years of incidental evidence to demonstrate that.
Its a moment of reckoning for all the Serb people, forced on them by Russia. They can either continue to simmer the tensions of the Yugoslav conflicts of the 1990's and seen heat up again as recently as December vis-a-vis Kosovo, or they pledge themselves absolutely to democratic self-determination and have some chance of EU membership down the line.
If they continue to mirror Russian carry-on, they'll be left as a failed fascist basket case, landlocked by the EU/NATO/Anti-Russia coalition.
This is politics I'd say.
Hungary wants nine individuals removed from the sanctions list.
Fcuk em. They wanna play this way, time to keep turning off that EU tap and let them sink back to a soviet hellscape.
Dont think the Serbian president was to happy about wagner group recruiting serbians to join the meatgrinder in Ukraine
But the psychological effect would be massive, people would be getting rounded up to look for non existent traitors ,
Everyone would be looking over their shoulders
Universal Soldier?
Great piece of kit,i presume its the 40 mm version,if it is they can easily sideshot a russian MBT as well
25 swaps or recharges? Worse than a bleedin' iphone.
They already hit an airbase fairly far inside. And did a bit of damage with that.
Although the damage is not necessarily assessed in terms of the specific physical damage but the operational hassle for the other side in having to put systems in place to protect themselves against potential future "attack".
Speculation from some observers that it is not Ukraine that Putin fears, but that a military coup might be staged against him.
They already have GPS modules, and yes, they can autonomously fly a set route, but 25 battery swaps to get from Kyiv to Moscow to drop a massive 1-2 Kg payload is a logistical nonsense. If you have 25 agents, there would be better uses for them.
You defeat us and we'll use nukes,more saber rattling from those delightful rascals.
He's also 20 years older...
Program it to go one way. Stick a GPS module on it and set it free. Set it to go to the midpoint and then the person there can flick the switch to set it to go to the final destination. Do it with a winged one if you want.
I'm sure the boffins can figure it out. I'm just the big ideas genius person
Terrible performance in lower temperatures especially at altitude too
Totally impractical. It's not just the lack of power, it's as much the range over which you can control the things, which is essentially line of sight at 5Ghz WiFi frequencies.
If you want range, you need wings. US drones are controlled using satellites for longer ranges. They also are powered by hydrocarbons because the energy density of Li batteries sucks in comparison.
Ah heyor. Leave it bleein' ouh. I understand you don't like him but that's below the belt.
Body shaming the poor fella. You are basically calling him a fat bastard.
Hungary being useful idiots to the Putin regime.
Germany is really keen on roasting its reputation.
Seems to be going down the route of very much fair weather friends stuff, again …
Principled stances against the utterly unprincipled and calls for diplomacy with people who only seem to respect strength.
Yes her name captain Anna Sidorenko also known by several other alias Larisa Sergukhina ,depending on wether she's a female fishing captain,fish cannery operation manager or ice cream seller
