It makes sense along with the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, bypass it and roll on to the main and secondary objectives,close off supply routes and shore up lines around them,then come back to them once all of the other major objectives have been taken
This suggests it's not so 50/50 with the rest of the world.....
Same goes for Russia.
That's going to put a big kink in the logistics pipeline.
But yet the Russians are still firing a huge amount of artillery non stop, yeah someone will come along and say but Ukraine shoots accurately depending on who or what you believe, Russia isn't slowing down
I always think about the face Melania made after meeting Putin.
Think it was more she touched off of trump
The kremlin's deep plant. Probably knows all the history of Putin and his skeletons in closets.
They released an image of the guy that attacked the train in Bryansk and it turns out to be Putin, lol
Is it though. Yes, Biden promised a lot but after a year the western world is not matching the heavily sanctioned Russia for artillery ammunition.That sounds like lack of will to me.
How much does a cruise missile cost?
They seek him here, they seek him there
He's four foot tall, he has no hair
Every court is trying to track him down
As he's a dedicated follower of fascists
Erdogan got his own F35 alike thingy
I was about to suggest that ruSSia should be turned into the same, but then I remembered - this is how rural ruSSia looks every day since 1944
Once they get that far, by the time they are on the way back, there will not be any live Russian's in either Zaporizhzhia or Bakhmut or any where else on the route. In fact, maybe there won't be any live Russians in Ukraine....any of it!!!
Russians are trying to drain the ukrainian air defences and lure the radars to give away their positions
Perfect timing for the elections
Erdogan has a new secret weapon,
Giants
Long after these decoys were launched there wasn't a single report of an explosion in Ukraine, as in no AA intercepts. The air raid map didn't light up until the actual real missile attack happened.
Once the actual real missiles were launched, Ukraine would have used their radars, which could potentially give away their location. Kinda negates the reason for launching decoys (you're loosing the element of suprise) And if you were launching decoys, why wouldn't they be putting a warhead on them? Has to be the cheapest part of the missile?
Clearly Ukraine is more important to Russia's strategic needs than it is to the US, for one, it borders only one of these countries. The US is a global superpower, Russia is a regional power, they have focused all of their resources on one regional war, that is almost existential to the Russian government.
Other clues are the fact that russian soldiers are directly involved in combat while american soldiers are not. And yet still the Russians with all their focus, conscription, decades of soviet ammo/equipment, are stuttering to a halt against a developing former soviet nation and leftover equipment from a few nato allies. From Biden's perspective, this is a low risk(no casualty risk)/ high return (weaken enemy, possibly fatally over the coming years and spurs new energy among nato allies to take responsibility for security, deter China by highlighting what a defending smaller nation can do with military support), I don't see why he would change his position as things stand.
Looks like the big boom the last night was a Ukranian missile factory. Needs to put through a translator

muh no military targets
We know.....
That they resumed manufacturing missiles there in 2020? Using the fuel from the older missiles?
It was to draw the focus away,you cant detect anything without turning your radars on in the first place
And by the time the second wave came they probably had to reload their missiles again
One S300 battery was hit as well
But it also tells us that Russia is probably running low on certain missiles,since they used some without warheads as decoys
@[Deleted User] But it also tells us that Russia is probably running low on certain missiles,since they used some without warheads as decoy
That's what a decoy is
Counteroffensive beginning?
The second wave came about an hour after. There was zero reports of AA launches prior to that or air raid warnings. If the goal was to overwhelm air defence, does it not make sence to launch decoys with the actual launch (to overwhelm air defence) or immediately after. Like we've seen before with the Sahed drones being the initial wave.
Where were you reading they hit a S300 battery?
Because if you don't have a target in the first place, sending a warhead to a random position in the hope it will be shot down is a needlessly reckless move
The decoys are typically older-generation missiles with lower accuracy. Maybe inertial guidance only. They wouldn't have been very accurate to begin with, but they are worse now due to age. They are no longer useful for hitting targets, but they can fly and they show up on radar, which makes them useful as decoys.
They have no warhead because they're not headed for a specific target, they are just flying in a general direction. Contrary to popular belief Russia does not want missiles with warheads landing randomly on civilians.
Russia sometimes use these decoys as part of a large wave of real missiles. Other times they use them on their own.. so they're monitoring the flight-path to see if any radars turn on.
