Russian special military operation in Ukraine #7

Bad news guys, according to the Kiev Independent, 18000 Russian troops have been killed by the Ukrops as of March 14th!

The good news is, uhh... Russia has resurrected 3600 of them as of March 19th

Either way, at this rate, Russia's troop losses will soon be 0.

Goosebumps....seriously.

I wonder what height it is at.
Seems to be going incredibly fast.
I remember seeing Concorde 30 miles after takeoff, and it was nowhere near that speed.

LIving in England right now, I have a serious urge to punch a lot of ignorant pricks in the face.
They are swallowing the vile propaganda all drafted in Washington DC.
Nazis are literally being portrayed as "poor oppressed victims".

It's horrendous. So many believe the media and completely forget wen the media lied to them over Iraq war. So many people think this conflict started last month. I have fallen out with so many over this only reason is they can't handle the truth

Guys why isn't tochka used by Russia ?

It's old, it's shorter ranged, and all the criticisms you can say

But tochka can do the same job... Russia has 700+ missiles

Why not just expend them ?

Footage of the work of the Russian Armed Forces on the positions of the Ukrainian military with the help of loitering ammunition, as well as strike UAVs.

By the way, it is worth noting that in the same Syria, often the operators of such UAV suicide bombers were specialists from the MTR.

A lot of drones are being used

Yeah looks legit and it is simply amazing.

They make a mistake in the video talking about how hot the missile gets and comparing with the boost phase after launch though.

Still it is very unclear what exactly the target was, that should be a nuke-hardened facility and therefore even a Kinzhal should not be effective against it... right? Maybe it has extreme anti-bunker capabilities or different versions, indeed the kinetic energy would make it exceedingly capable in that regard, if designed for that purpose. That would be a new bit of unsettling info re. its operational concept for the West, as if the standard specs were not enough.

The thing with bunkers etc is you don't need to destroy the munitions completely. As long as the main entrance is destroyed they ain't getting access anytime soon. Also any munitions in the bunker will need checked for any damages to see if they are useful or not. And then any attempt at clearing the rubble to retrieve any munitions not damaged will most likely be targeted again. That site will be monitored any sign of retrieval will see an airstrike or kalibur coming it's way.

You are quite mistaken, they could have carried out the strike with another missile. It's not a school game to display a weapons destructive strength to a foe, this has been done throughout history and the Russians did such things in Syria.

Unless you have hard-to-kill bunker and want to test in combat your new missiles.  Destructive power -yes but not necessarily to Ukrainians but to the USA and surely to potential buyers.

Same to ole Iskanders and Kh-31. Spend all old inventory to low risk tasks would be imho reasonable.

A bolt from heaven, a true vertical attack trajectory.  Javelin?  pfftt...   This is Russias version of "top-attack"....

Majority of the stocks will have been supplied to Syria.

However they wouldn't be expensive to manufacture again. And Russia could easily use Belarusian stocks in return that it will replace later on.

Or better still use Belarusian Polonez better range and has 8 ready to fire missiles takes within 10 mins to set up and CEP within 30m.

Iskander isn't old?

Russian tochkas were seen delivered by an-124 yesterday.

Normlaly they are out of service but it seems they don't want to use all their stock of iskander.

3 or 4 launchers were seen in 1 flight. Another plane landed shortly after the first.

In terms of missile stocks they should have a good amount. I would safely say a couple hundred. Some have for sure been transfered to Syria and some have probably reched their limite date and been destroyed.

Ipsan, many don't understand the war but its quite visible

Personally I believe the objective is to destroy the VSU

At first it was to possibly work out an agreement

But then I believe the nature of the conflict has taken on an assault/raid nature where they are attempting to destroy the VSU , they need to kill as many of them as they can that are willing to resist before imposing balkanization

They want to wack as many nazis as they can

In this case the kill count is the biggest indicator

VSU approached 30,000 KIA

So the mission is literally demilitarization, de nazification

They are killing scores of them now, more pressure is being applied everytime they send a battalion to the afterlife by kalibration

That's why I think they approach it this way, they want to kill probably the bulk of Ukrainian nationalists and they need to score several thousands more before moving to the next phase

The biggest annoyance in this conflict hasnt been neo Nazi battalions, NATO, EU, Biden, Boris, zelensky, disinformation or western media as there actions were fully expected.

It the dumbass sheeple of predominantly the west who think this war started last month, never heard of the Donbass, couldn't even point to Ukraine on the map, and suddenly became experts on Geo politics, the Russian economy, Russian military l, Ukrainian military and government. And think neo Nazis don't exist in Ukraine and that only applies to Russia only. That's been the most annoying part

I had someone who stated they lived in Mariupol for the last 7 years (this was true) but went on to say the Azov battalion was nothing more than Ukrainian national guard with offensive tattoos and that they had NEVER committed a crime in their lives. All I can say to that was amnesty international and UN have expressed concerns and the former even reported crimes against humanity within the Donbass by Azov and other Nazi battalions. Some people are so mentally ill they believe anything.

One thing I hope happens after this conflict the truth comes out and the west can't hide from it. I will be first in line telling everyone I told u so and how do they feel now backing Nazis

That's good, tochka is good enough for Ukraine , its cheap, and better to save modernized missiles

Also i want to see kh35 usage , it's got good warhead and the extended range version can be really good

Also kh59

Those missiles have good enough warheads and are cheap to use

But Tochka and kh35 seem like no Brainer

They're cheap and would do the same job to Ukropia

It's better for you not to waste your time, you will lose health through stress

Just enjoy the show

Stop trying to convince anyone, it's really doesn't matter or factor into Russia

Lavrov has said Russia will not attempt to repair relations

Russia doesn't give a **** no more my man

Just let it go

Pls don't repeat the NATOstani nonsense about the Russian operation having "logistics difficulties". That is total propaganda BS, and all such claims need to be treated with complete and utter contempt, and never given the slightest credence.

The daily production rate of ...
Iskander 1+ (365 per year ?)
Kalibr 3+ (~1000 per year ?)
CH-47M2 1+ (365 per year ?)
is?

Although we have seen 2S7 pion being used still waiting for the Tulpan 240mm mortar in action. An ideal weapon for buildings and I would imagine that it will have a fairly psychological effect on enemy troops in the area.

I don't think it will be too long before we see Ukrainian forces turning on neo Nazi battalions. And telling zelensky to f*ck off. The hype of being a national hero and fighting the big bad Russians soon wear off when u realise your government don't give a crap and your deprived of sleep, hungry, mentally and physically drained, u miss Ur loved ones, low on ammo, being shouted at by some neo Nazi zealot who would rather die than give in and expects u to do the same. You realise your life is worthless to your superiors, and that your up against a better equipped enemy who is making progress and the chances of NATO coming to help you is zero. Suddenly you no longer want to fight especially those who were forced to fight with zero training.

The tilting point I feel isn't so far away.

Don't worry what they're saying on reddit

They're not the ones picking body parts out of rubble

Anyway, what other cheap munitions exist ??

Production can be increased in war time. I don't know but very likely they have just one assembly line for each of them. If they really want they can field 10 or 20 production lines.

US started its WW2 with 10 carriers and finsihed it with almost 100. Big countries that switch their civilian industry into military industry become beasts.


Now imagine the factory of the world, China, using all its industry for ballistic and cruise missiles. They will have enough of them after 1 month to strike every m2 of Taiwan and japan.

They have the grom gliding bomb. The mini munitions for drones that they showed are also good.

They also have that new missiles for helicopter product 308 or something like that and ground launched hermes which is said to have 100km range.

But missiles are always more expensive than bombs. So a su-34armed with 10 bomb is cheaper than 10 cruise missiles. However they still haven't destroyed ukrinian AD so unlikely they use them for deep strikes.
