Yes, I'm afraid the Russians can defend against prosecution with large measures of Whataboutery (But they will never escape the contempt they have earned from civilized people. They will be despised for centuries to come).
JDAM?
France24 news was just on stating the truth about the Kinzahl missiles. They said 6 were fired in this latest attack and that explains why this was worse than previous ones, because Ukraine can not intercept them so presumably all 6 hit their targets.
Pity he did not take a few officer's out as well while he was at it.. Maybe next time?, if it becomes fashionable.?
Seems like a good possibility.
I saw an interesting fundraiser by a Ukrainian unit. It was for two large 6 rotor ukrainian made drones costing $30K each. One image showed someone cradling a 120/155mm artillery shell, so I presume this drone is supposed to be able carry and drop one of these. I have seen specs for crop spraying drones that can carry 20kg so it's probably a 120mm projectile.
That would do some damage.
I can't tell if you're being facetious , but that's a pretty massive presumption?
They can't be stopped partly because of their ballistic nature, but they equally might have taken out a hedge somewhere.
It's facetious / presumptious to quote a news report on France 24?
I wonder does the idiot realise the provocation could be him being killed on camera?
The Russian command is planning a provocation on the border of Ukraine and Belarus in the near future. Propagandist Vladimir Solovyov should arrive there and will fabricate a "picture" for the Russian media.
Presuming all 6 hit their target is an absolutely gigantic leap. The entire reason they are hard to target is because they have no active targeting. Russia has a terrible track record in this war of doing any precise targeting.
Of course from Russia's perspective, the "target" is potentially anything in Ukraine.
Your going to trigger people with that .......
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrt
I think this one must be well into their vodka rassion for this evening already.
But it's highly likely linked , drones are packed in shipping containers just as easy as an aircraft,boat likely carries more ,
Don't think it is ,
Apparently no Aircraft were flying at the time, Ukraine airforce Currently fly two ship formations and have done since the start of the war ,
And we've yet to seen anything concrete that the few they were given has been fitted and successfully tested in Ukraine,
......
Meanwhile Poland delivered another 10 lepoard 2s to ukraine,that brings the number from Poland to 14 over the last few weeks
Protests continue in Georgia - protesters now calling for the government to go and call fresh elections ....
It's hard to believe that after the putin bombing parts of Georgia that several years later they manage to bring them to heel again,
Definitely changes needed.
Guys why do you bother feeding this latest troll?
He’s probably some lonely Russki typing away in a dingy bedsit missing his daily diet of Putin propaganda from RT.
.
This seems appropriate for this thread at the moment!
You were waffling on about something about supermarket shelves being so much better in russia than in the UK when someone pointed out to you that this discussion forum is based in Ireland so not in the UK or in russia. You seem to be going to great lengths to convince readers of this thread that russia is great but I can't imagine you are so high that you really expect anyone to believe you. Are you really just posting all this gibberish for your own therapy? If russia is so great, why are there so many russians after fleeing from such a great place with such wonderful supermarket shelves? I honestly have no answer to your question about UDS as it seems to me like almost everything you have said to be an invention of your own twisted imagination.
There's all kinds of drones knocking around, ones that can take a lot more than 20kg. Some will use petrol engines and sound literally like flying lawnmowers. There's a, I believe Norwegian company who are/were making heavy lift drones but we're into the hundreds of thousands there.
All that's needed for drones is weight lift capacity, can it get to the target than aim & drop, pretty simple with the number of drones out there now.
The claimed accuracy is 1m. I don't belive that but 5-6m seems perfectly possible and quite sufficient given the combinstion of the 500Kg warhead and the significant kinetic energy.
Nice. Orc telegram channels will be busy welcoming this announcement.
It's more than obvious
Artillery strike back in January according to various sources
It's kind of a Catch-22. Normal forum wisdom is to not feed a troll and let them starve off the topic, but ignoring them is also leaving their Kremlin-fueled narritve unchallenged, which I fear is part of what they want.
They either want their nonsense challenged and thus highlighted, or left unchallenged so that a less experienced forum reader might be swayed by their argument.
There are cases, like with the "Orwell Road" re-reg troll, where it's clearly just better to flag them and move on with the topic, but in other cases I feel it's important to call out and challenge the latest Kremlin-sponsored counter argument so that it doesn't thrive in a vaccum. When that same argument repeats, then humor seems to be the best weapon.
Ukraine saying now Russia fired 95 missles in the last attack 10 more that originally claimed, wonder if they will adjust the claim of how many interceptions they made .
I think it's important to acknowledge
Bakhmut Holds after an other week of its predicted capture
Wagner has been left high and dry with no ammo . My morning coffee will taste a little nicer .
I would like this to be true, but since it's Wagner themselves saying this I'd also hold off the sweetener for said coffee with a few pinches of salt. Wagner themselves might be trying to be clever here by trying to prompt the AFU into a premature assult on their lines.
However if it is true and the Wagners are indeed high & dry, there's potential for their entire force around Bakmut to get routed by a successful AFU counter-offensive. If they are out of the picture, the Russia lines are in bits. They could potentially roll all the way to Luhansk if the Russians couldn't reform a defence line fast enough. Wagner is the Russian ace card in this fight, and if they lose them, the regular army are in a good deal of trouble.
