What a scumbag. And that radio host is fast turning into the Russian version of Alex Jones.
As for Germany: have seen quite a lot of "nicht unser Krieg" graffiti here recently, but suspect it from far left "pacifists" rather than afd people. Funny how the far left and far right both hate the mainstream, democratic centre so much they'll support anything opposed to it, including brutal dictators.
The only time I read about the HIMARS being geofenced was an opinion piece. It was just someone speculating they could be geofenced in relation to an official comment that the launchers were modified to prevent them firing an ATACMS missile.
For that reason now, people are lead to believe that the current missiles Ukraine uses, should have a 150km range, but have be modified to reduce the range to half that.
Enegodar, near the huge NPP, a collaborator was eliminated with a car bomb. They used enough cigarettes, this time.
Biden is definitely a big improvement on Obama when it comes to russia… Obama is partly to blame for this situation…. He should have bombed the sh1t out of Assad
Slowly advancing toward Seversk
If there is no counter here then Seversk and all east of it will fall. (area highlighted below)
Already reports of a tactical retreat from Bilohorivka, as the Russians advance on the opposite bank of the Donets near Kreminna
It was not speculation or an opinion piece, it was a report in the Wall St Journal quoting US officials:
But the Himars launchers have a unique feature intended to prevent them from becoming even more potent battlefield systems. U.S. officials say the Pentagon has modified the launchers so they can’t fire long-range missiles, including the U.S.’s Army Tactical Missile System rockets, or ATACMS, which have a range of nearly 200 miles. https://archive.ph/FawCa
So claiming you can just pop GLSDBs in them is without any foundation in fact. Maybe it is possible, but my guess is that it isn't, hence the talk of supplying launchers with the munitions 9+ months now, according to Bloomberg.
And WTF is this stupid, mindless negativity about opinion pieces? If the person supplying the opinion is a former commander of US forces in Europe, like General Hodges, where does anyone get off claiming his opinion isn't worth anything? It's the old tactic of trying to discredit the message by suggesting it's source, or the conduit by which it was conveyed, is flawed. Ironically, this is one of the main tools the Orcs use.
Popularmechanics clearly believes the report to be true and did a piece on it:
The report does not specify how the “hardware and software limitation” that keeps GMLRS rockets from landing in Russia works, but it is probably some form of geofencing. Geofencing is the ability to lock systems that use GPS navigation out of real-world locations. A drone operator could, for example, program a drone from entering sensitive airspace, a national park, or other locations by providing it with GPS coordinates of places it should stay out of.
From my research on commercial drones that Ukraine wants and uses, it turns out that the most favoured brand - DJI - are geofenced, meaning they won't fly in restricted airspaces or above various countries height restrictions, but that drones made by Autel are not geofenced - Ukraine uses those too, mainly the thermal imaging ones which are the ones they reportedly the ones they most frequently fly at night. I suspect Ukraine has no problem getting around the DJI geofencing or they would be unlikely to be as popular as they are.
Children stolen by the Russians in Ukraine are involved in the porn business
They call it the rescue of Ukrainian orphanages
I feared as much, but of course hoped I was wrong.
That is just absolutely horrifying. Such fcuking monsters!!! Hope every one of those cnuts is caught and strung up.
Obama is virtually fully to blame. He shat the bed when Russia invaded Dunbass and Crimea
The WSJ article quoting US officials does not mention geofencing. It simply states as per US officials, HIMARS were modified to prevent them firing the ATACMS missiles.
The opinion piece goes on to talk about preventing missiles landing in Russia and speculates about geofencing.
How does the US guarantee an ATACMS missile cannot land in Russia... They just don't give Ukraine a ATACMS missile. If they are worried about allies supplying them, they could, as per US officials, have modified the launchers. There's absolutely no need to geofence them if they can't physically fire what they don't physically have.
Some posters get more worked up about invading Russian soldiers being called orcs than actual war crimes.
On the topic of the abducted children of Ukraine... nothing. Not even a crocodile tear.
Serious moral compass reset needed.
But yet HiMars strikes are hitting their targets
Consumer GPS and military GPS are 2 different things
HIMARs surely has access to military bands & redundancies far in excess of consumer grade stuff
Yeah but the Ukrainians are qualified, intelligent, sociable, capable people, they won't be requiring state assistance for too long.
Considering the size of Ukraine, and it's previous productivity, Europe can't fail to benefit from the country's inclusion.
Charity does indeed begin at home, but it too often gets no further.
..
I think a lot of heads of state from that time all have a full plate of blame… a lot of blame to go round
Thankfully most people have empathy, unlike yourself. No Ukrainian wanted this war, and none wanted to flee their country as a refugee. From what I have seen, most want to work while here. They don’t want to be relying on state benefits.
Obama, Merkel, and the other Western leaders all made grave mistakes.
But the blame for this colonial war lies with one person: Putin.
Himars uses GPS/INS meaning if they are jammed or lose gps signals,the inertial guidance kicks in and calculates the remaining distance,speed and time to target automatically based on their last gps position.
Finnish? The winter war?
It is a requirement for new entrants, those not using it were existing members prior to the creation of the Euro who opted out. The opt-out is not available to new members.
Germany just approved 88 Leopard 1 tanks.
Those Baltic countries are something else.
Heading to 200+ Leopards heading to Ukraine,
Wonder If the Americans will pull the Abrams and send more Bradley's instead
This nonsense pantomime that has been going from the start has to end.
Send the gear, send all of it and stop fúcking around.
Not a chance. Scholz
That's the wrong way of thinking.... Send more of them both. I do wonder how many Bradley's they intend on sending (after the initial batch). We've seen it with pretty much all the equipment sent, big fanfare when it's announced and put into service and then the US just keeps sending them in each aid package.
I love this thread:
Originally it was 40 if I remember correctly, but they have 60 on the way via the Atlantic,but they did say publicly that they were planning to train 5000 Ukrainans on the Bradleys, which would suggest the final figure could be in the hundreds
There are ripples of opposition starting to appear, Russians outside Russia have started an opposition movement with a new Russian flag as its symbol, White-Blue-White, so have a look. The have recently held protests in many Country's.
