Lol
You'd know that was a head shot. Intentional, Opportunistic, Accidental or Suicide are all's after.
Ah yes, Die Zwiebel, har har
Per the net the Russians have identified two large Ukrainian build ups well behind the front line. There are also multiple probes along the line so they don't know where the main attack will happen.
I'm a bit late to the game with this question , apologies but here it goes..
The russian pro war supporters who keep banging on about it being the west's fault and that the Russians were left with no other choice...
But what are they talking about exactly? At the early stages of the invasion I do recall the mention that it was necessary to protect the ethnic Russians living in places like Donbas region of Ukraine but.. protect them from what ? What are they alleging was happening to the russian population there ? I'm aware that there has been conflict in eastern parts of Ukraine for quite a few years now between the armed forces.. but what do they allege changed that resulted in them having to invade large parts of Ukraine to protect russians in the eastern regions?
There is no point in digging up that muck anyway. The thing one should understand about the Russian society is that is it is deeply sick. They trust nobody and hold nothing true. Their propaganda spews the absolute nonsense, but everyone knows (except the Western "useful idiots") that it is a lie. It is a crime in Russia to expose official lies, however, so Russians must pretend that they agree. But even this being the case, the years, way before even 2014, of most nasty lies on the Russian TV about Ukraine made many Russians hateful of Ukraine. Deep down the propaganda stroked the feeling of Russians being somehow better than their neighbouring untermenshen, that Russians have a right to interfere in whatever way they want. They also have a sense of injured pride, which is understandable -- they are poor, downtrodden people who are envious of Ukrainians who, while as poor as them, somehow have a sense of freedom and dignity. And so Russians hate the freedom because they are denied it themselves.
...something, something, something, devil worshiping NATO jewish nazi facists, mumble, mumble, mumble, something,...
edit: apologies, I forgot to add "deviant" to the list of reasons excuses, there's been so many it's difficult to keep up with them all
Wouldn't there be some/lots of blood if they were shot in the head?
What do you mean 'under the radar'? That is not how glide bombs work. They 'glide', so the higher the altitude you release them from, the further they can glide and so the further away you can keep the plane that releases them from air defences, but that plane will be certain to be detected, along with the bombs they drop
Glide bombs are dropped from high altitude, I have seen 15km suggested for the FAB 500s, so well within defence radar detection capabilities.
You could clone an S-300 missile, but it would take years, not weeks or months.
Uncle fester rings a bell too
If you re-e-wind a few pages, you should get caught up on most of your questions.
The looming designation of Wagner as a terrorist organisation by the EU and UK following the lead of the Baltics is interesting. The UK and EU are both saying it is largely symbolic, but it is not. Membership of a terrorist organist is a criminal offence. The 100k + men who are now/have/will fight for Wagner in Ukraine, can never leave again leave Russia because they are terrorists. They can never attend a football match abroad at the Euro Championships, they can never visit their brother or sister working in Germany, Slovakia or Naas.
It may also be a decision to finally take the gloves off against Wagner in Africa.
Some progress in Bakhmut for Ukraine
I haven't gone through all the replies so I don't know if this has been mentioned but there's a podcast called Behind the Bastards. They did a two part episode on Stephen Segal where they pretty much just laugh at him.
I'm linking part two below. It's amazing the **** he claimed to have done. It's over an hour long but well worth a listen.
Did you know he claims to be the reincarnation of a buddhist Lama? Or that he was sacked from his TV show when he drove a tank through someones property?
Glide bombs dont follow a ballistic trajectory so they are harder to detect by radar than conventional ballistic missiles.
Whether they are within radar range or not depends on the missile and the distance at launch.
I agree tho that "under the radar" is nonsense, without massive propulsion they do not fly that low. All missiles are detectable by radar, the only difference in glide vs ballistic is how early they are detectable.
It does indeed,it was his collagues from gazproms private military company that fcuked up again,lol it seems
Japan strengthening ties with NATO. Follows on from the Australia PM being invited to the NATO summit in July. Another win for the Evil dwarf in Moscow.
Wait.... so it wasn't Ukrainian propaganda as was claimed on this thread!
Russians don't really give a damn about how many soldiers they loose to take ground, especially in Bakhmut. However I'm sure the ground they loose hurts even more!
Seems like taking more land is more important than losing lifes
Russian pride parade
They can dropped from 15 but they don't stay at altitude they drop , which makes it a lot more difficult for air defense systems to deal with,it a bomb or Cruise missle is coming in low , Anti aircraft missles won't be an use to deal with them
It's still more than likely propaganda,
Despite someone not exactly really so sure in thar that little clip ,
What pages and pages ,
Like the leaks you keep referring to despite nobody else mentioning them.
Russian KH-55 landed in Poland in December this popped up recently looks like it's been confirmed,
Flew across ukraine and into Poland undetected by ukraine and polish/Nato Air defenses ,
Could have been an interesting situation if it travelled further
Russians are not only at war with Ukraine
They are at war with eachother as well
Nonsense. A glide bomb is every bit as detectable as a plane. If a civillian ATC radar can easily detect a fiberglass glider that only has a few Kg of metal in it at 100km+, a military AA radar is going to have not the slightest problem with a 500Kg Fab 500. The UK Sky Sabre can track and hit an object the size of a tennis ball.
There's a slight difference between the size of a glider and a bomb. The glider being 10x the surface area of a fab 500.
But detecting it on radar is one thing, shooting it down is another. As there's no heat signature, you're relying on the missile's radar being strong enough to detect it or use the AA radar system to guide the missile on to target, but you also expose the radar then.
You are talking nonsense. Things that glide have a glide ratio, that is x amount of forward travel for Y drop in height. This translates to a more or less linear glide-slope. They do not plummet vertically from 15km in altitude to less than 100m and then fly multiple km straight and level to their target below radar level.
This is how it works in the real world, not your made up BS:
That's from a paper detailing the development of the JDAM-ER wing kit. For 99% of it's flight it's at an altitude that makes it easily detectible.
Interestingly, that reveals that the JDAM-ER has an approximately 12:1 glide ratio, meaning if you release one at 15km altitude, it's going to travel a lot further than the published spec.
