Not having seen an obscure video posted by a russian language channel makes me a putinista? lol
the question you asked could have some point or bearing a year ago.
Then again, a DMZ for 60 miles inside of Russia sounds like a deal
This really is straight out of the Stalingrad experience portrayed in Enemy at the Gates except that this time the Ruskies are the baddies. One would hope that right will win out in the end because, no more than the Nazi's and their allies in 1939-1945, the rest of Europe should be in no doubt whatsover of the consequences for the rest of us if this version of Russia is allowed to proceed unchecked.
Ukraine is just reversing these stupid suggestions every so called piece messaya suggests. They all suggest this and for some reason it is always Ukraine who needs to give up their land for the piece.
We'll probably never know what damage was done and by what.
May as well have been a flat tire for the time to get it back up and running again :D
Russian hypersonic missile scientists arrested on treason charges
Russian hypersonic missile scientists arrested on treason charges (nbcnews.com)
Generously, they might have skunked a whole launcher etc. worth $10M but the patriot system is designed to be unmanned, and decentralized, even if they got a clean kill on 1 component, theres many others. So yeah, we might never hear which component was hit. I thought it would be the radar given a-rad tracking on missiles. But if it's working again already, that's probably not the case.
Lol. It's your fault our hyped up **** missile is ****.
You could write pages and pages about others who faced the same fate over the last 100 years in Russia,
Lucky for us the likes of Ukrainan Igor Sirkorsky emigrated to the states before introducing the world to the modem helicopter
Or "real patriots never miss".
Interestingly enough from sky news
I wonder if they have Patriot anti missiles in Odessa?
Both are in Kiev I believe, not seen the other battery,it could be deployed or being kept in reserve incase one is lost,you wouldn't know
!!!
Alexa, play Angel
Wonder if Mary Lou would endorse the following....
Anatoly Maslov's arrest was in June 2022.
Alexandr Shiplyuk was arrested in August 2022
Valery Zvegintsev's arrest seem to be more recent.
A fourth scientist that worked with them, Dmitry Kolker, was arrested and accused of treason in June 2022 after giving a lecture in China. He was accused of giving information to the Chinese, even though the FSB had vetted and passed the content of his lecture.. He died in hospital in Moscow in July 2022.
Sky News reported on the arrests yesterday as if they were all recent, and seemed to be tying them to the apparent shooting down of the Kinzhal missiles, but it appears to be unrelated to that.
Died in hospital imagine that ,
Bet someone left a window open
My mother used to always say "you'll catch your death" if I left the window open. I'm only realising now she was undercover KGB.
I read somewhere that the designer of some soviet WW2 aircraft that broke up in combat due to some fault was shot on Stalin's orders!
It's these absolute scum he's talking about:
Wait....
I've got an idea. (A terrible one but am idea none the less)
1. We pretend to be the Ra.
2. Accept all Russian weapons and long range sh1te.
3. We thank them.
4. We send the stuff to Ukraine to use against the Russians.
5. Profit.
Stalin shot so many people on a whim, that in his final hours, no medic wanted to treat him they were so terrified. He had executed several of them previously, and no one wanted to be next.
He must not have executed them if they were still around to treat him. 😀
Gaddafi comes to mind......
I'd have to keep a AK or two and a Makarov pistol everything else can be forwarded to ukraine,
When do we start,😁
Hans Gruber comes to mind
I wouldn't bother keeping an AK, they're not that great.
Oh yes they are ,not perfect though the front and rear ladder sights are to close together to shoot accurately out to range compared to an AR 15 type platform, terrible on full auto your not hitting the broad side of a transit van with one ,but still deadly on semi,a fairly robust compared to some Western equivalents.
More of a H&K or Sig fan myself
