Yes they are,
but Apparently they are usingThese Tonight,so much for 9 months away......
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,
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.
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?
More Mariupol analysis here.
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.
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.
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.
Horseshit
Interesting opinion piece in The Journal from DCU Professor of Politics Donnacha Ó Beacháin:
In what is a classic illustration of the “resource course”, abundant natural assets have inhibited the Kremlin from trying to create a modern diverse economy. The proceeds from selling fossil fuels go directly to the Kremlin’s coffers, liberating Putin from any reliance on domestic or external support. As a result, it is the regime rather than the average individual that is well-resourced, and when it comes to the quality-of-life Russia lags far behind. The typical Russian man, for example, lives to just 67 years of age, behind Libya, North Korea, Rwanda, Cambodia, and Bangladesh (in Ireland, the figure is 81).
Contemporary Russia is, however, not the Soviet Union; it is arguably a greater threat. The USSR was a status-quo power in Europe but Putin’s Russia is a revisionist state that seeks to annex its neighbours. And whereas the Communist Party provided a mechanism for transition and a power base that outlived individual leaders there are no comparable institutions in Russia today.

Looks like they have the GLSDBs, despite the claims of be it can't be done,they don't have the launchers,it will take 9-12 months depending on who's opinion you read .
Hopefully they can put them to use on a daily basis, the Russians have already hit Walls in bakhmut and Vuhledar ,now there logistics and supplies can be targeted pretty much anywhere in occupied territory
"Great Leader" Squawks Daily Bollocks 😀
Mick saying "premeditayhed " is the scary thing here!
Absolutely! Vincent Browne is the only journalist I recall who would hound a guest into giving a direct answer to a question. Mary Wilson, Miriam, Brian Dobson etc just seem to work off a pre prepared list of questions and accept any old answer that's given.
Not just on Russian tv 😜
Are the people back home making their feelings known to the Russian government? It is what citizens in many countries, including our own, have done down through the centuries often at great personal cost.
12 miles from the centre of Donetsk City, 5 miles to the airport or what's left of it. I'm assuming that's close to the mostly static battle frontier from the Donbas 2014 conflict which hasn't really changed much since?

I get the sentiment, and a further BBC report I was listening to on Radio 4 yesterday, where they had local journalists try survey peoples opinions on the war indicated Russia has roughly 3 opinions on it...
Small group who are totally for the war, 100% support Putin
Small group who are completely against the war, will protest, get arrested and fall from buildings due to heart attack, for the cause
Then the vast majority, who just want to make ends meet, and are living week to week and the sooner the wars over, the better..
But, I'm still firmly in the inaction invariantly means support camp... as much as people would wish this would all go away, its not going to without action...
Actions speak louder than words...

Wow.
They say Biden came to land(Kyiv) we are trying to recapture.
They’re not even trying to hide the land grab anymore, no longer about “denazification”
I wish us in the West could find the means to stop buying Chinese exports.
Pains me they get so much from the West and stand their with Putler while he threatens the West.
More overt support for Taiwan should be on the Western agenda. Drives Beijing nuts if any country starts going on about them.
What the hell are you on about??!
The majority of Eastern Europe despise the Russians and rightly so.
And trying to link it with antisemitism is really pathetic.
Of course they despise the Russians for their occupation of Eastern Europe post 1945. But "sub human race"?? Come on, that's just bigoted racism IMO.
If I posted here the typical descriptions used to describe the Russians in countries who know what Soviet occupation was like, I'd be banned.
Seems the Orcs tried to advance, ballsed it up and the Ukrainians took the chance and countered it and advanced.
oh the poor Russians, they're not bigoted racists either, they're just misunderstood
Things are going to get very interesting now now Ukraine has GLSDBs.
I expect the Kerch bridge to be hit soon.
At that point the orc position in Crimea is UTTERLY fcuked.
I'm sure there are bigoted racists in Russia as well. What's your point?
Its just your opinion!
If it walks and talks like a duck...
We are going to see a lot more of this in the future. orc lines are very over extended and low on manpower and supplies. They will be ripe for counter attacks.
