If these attacks were using the GLSDBs, then that's great but I have been reading for months that Ukraine has been developing it's own long range munition, and more recently hints it was nearly ready, so it might be that.
This gives some technical details about what's involved in trying to get a US munition to work with the planes Ukraine has. Not at all simple.
If this truly is the beginning of the GLSDBs then the Russians logistics are in for an awful shock. There is nowhere inside all of Russian occupied Ukraine that can hide from these munitions, with the exception of the southern half of Crimea.
It would also confirm what I've been thinking. The Ukrainian allies are running a policy of arrange/deliver first -> announce later. Why give the Russians advanced notice that these things are on the way.
Now all we have to do is sit back and wait for the slew of newly registered accounts to tell us that GLSDB is an acronym for...... bestiality or something.
Putin had a failed satin 2 ballistic missile test was to be included in his speech yesterday, failure lurks at every corner and getting close to a snipers bullet everyday
New long range already in action 1 day after he said Russia will react to same
It's over Russia.
More Mariupol analysis here.
You stand over your use of the term “Sub human race”?? Have you absolutely any idea what that odious term means to the various peoples of Eastern Europe (plus the Jews etc), never mind just Russians?
If they have these already then it's game over for Russia. 3 months of reconnaissance of munition dumps outside himars range, recording exact co-ordinates and arranging in priority for attack means the end of any February 24th offensive and the decimation of supply lines for an already floundering frontline.
You can stick a fork in Putin, he's done.
It's a kit so it wouldn't matter what aircraft they are launched from,the biggest will likely issue will be what effective altitude they can be launched from, currently most of the strikes carried out at low level altitude due to fears of Russian missles,
Yes they are,
but Apparently they are usingThese Tonight,so much for 9 months away......
Yes, but what I had to laugh at was the moment he finished speaking and the audience (especially those nearest the stage) stood up to clap and cheer him, one camera panning out over the audience from the stage, caught all the party faithful, but inadvertently, the mass exodus from the back of the hall where roughly one third of the audience made a break for freedom, even as the cheering and clapping were still going on.
Are Ukraine still using HIMARS or keeping them for the offensive possibly?
Russian air defenses seem to be very busy at the moment, something got them spooked?
Agree 100%
putler is leading the country to disaster and there barely a squeak.
Clearly the penny hasn't dropped so we need to keep killing orcs illegally occupying Ukraine until they piss back off to their own homes.
Absolutely they are.
They celebrate whenever strikes on Ukrainian cities,we see them attacking Ukrainians across Europe,
Like this time last when you were telling us there will be no invasion, but the Ukrainans are at fault Along with the US and Nato.
Yes and ironically have a lot more in common with Republicans loons like Tucker Carson and Marjorie Taylor Green.
Wallace and Daly are the type of people who've gone so far left, that they've ended up far right.
100%
When the Paschal Donohue expenses controversy got exposed RTE had it has their main news story for a week.
Soon as SF were found out for the same thing the the silence was deafening and the storey completely disappeared from the news !
Sure, RTE has to give a voice to different sides of an argument, but I saw Kieran Allen go on and on without being challenged for the most outrageous statements. No FF or FG spokesperson would be left get away with 1% of what Allen got away with.
Well all you're doing is proving a lack of understanding of life on the ground there. Many Russians have spoken out, many exiled or killed as a result.
Putin will be in the ground soon enough please god but what you're suggesting is every Russian is complicit, that is ridiculous. It would be different if Russia was a democracy.
Russians are fully complicit in this war by keeping Putin in power and allowing him to carry out war crimes on a daily basis.
I fully stand over my original statement.
US to hand Ukraine long-range GSP-guided precision-guided bombs (JDAM-er) with a kill range of up to 72km - Bloomberg
The Jdam-ER can be attached to unguided bombs weighing from 220 to 900kg. Once dropped, the bomb opens its wings, allowing it to glide up to 72km (45 miles) and tripling the range of the original weapon.
Boeing received a $40.5 million order from the Air Force on 20 January as part of an existing Jdam contract. Work is due to be completed by 30 June. The order indicates that the US and Ukraine have found a way for Soviet fighters to program and launch the Jdam-ER.
Would be better if they had a western platform to release these from.
Saw a rumour thst the US might br considering doing what it should have done in the first place and releasing Abramms tanks from their stocks to speed things up, instead of messing around getting them from allies and refurbishing them.
My wife is Russian, mother of my two children. Her and her family, along with anyone else they get to interact with back home are completely against the invasion.
Enough of the generalisations and sub-human craic, it reaks of small minded bigotry.
The guy was left waffle on unchallenged by the presenter which is common trend with RTE when it comes to dealing with far left ideologues.
Public service broadcasting means they have to and should give a voice to all sides. I don't agree with their opinion, but they are entitled to it. The alternative is to be more like RT.
Be right back, just need to get something...
RTE Primetime giving more oxygen to another far left loon who’s against us helping Ukraine as it supposedly breaches our neutrality…. Give me strength!
No surprise I stopped paying my TV licence years ago.
No words needed
maybe lavrov cross dresses at weekends or even takes ‘a length or two’…….?
Hotel on fire in Moscow-
Good update on what is happening in Bakhmut.
Very powerful, hard to watch.
We get snippets of "info" but this puts faces and real lives behind it, they are dealing with hell over there
