Russian special military operation in Ukraine #14

That S-300 is on the front line. So it's quite norml to have an older version there where it can be targeted by atgm or drones. It is also more than enough to counter ukrainian missiles and air force.

You can bet there is a more modern one nearby in stand by.

There is also a pantsir in that group protecting it, there was a video of it.

Good articles.

Re: Duda

Imagine a Prime Minister in Israel having German Nazi relatives. Poles are not Ukrs. Ukr Banderites committed genocide against
Poles in "Ukraine".

Now that's what I am talking about!

Hmm, was today the first time Buyans in the Caspian fired Kalibrs on Ukraine?

Saw some mentions of it.

I'm a wee bit confused about the range of Kalibr versions. I know Russia fired lots of them from the Buyans in the Caspian at ISIS targets in Syria. They overflew Iran, and those strikes must have been at some 750-800km range at least, which is farther than what Wikipedia claims is the max range (660km) of the base version.

From the coast of Kalmykia to Krivoy Rog it's 1100km.

Well, isn't the range of land attack Kalibr missile upto 2500 km?

They can even target Warsaw from Caspian sea with that range. Slight tweeking of range will even bring Berlin into the hit zone.

Bellingcat said something similar.

Rob Lee, whom I had respect for, definitely lost it too. When the Russians Kinzhaled some targets, he said it was an indication that cruise missiles had run out etc. No thought was given to the fact that they were launched at a hardened Soviet era underground depot, where that additional penetrating power of several hundred hypersonic kilos were needed.

That's more than a month ago. They've launched several hundred more since then. Almost daily (or rather, nightly) strikes. And it seems to be intensifying.

Russia has yet to go full wartime production, but they evidently ramped things up, keeping stocks filled.

Well, a while later.

Multiple Russian cruise missile strikes on infrastructure targets across Ukraine tonight, parts of Lviv without power. Likely the biggest barrage since the beginning of the war.

Reportedly the land attack Kalibrs are upwards to 1,500km while antiship is a few hundred km's.

I do seem to recall this being mentioned during the uses in Syria.

Okay, thank you and usmani too. Guess I was confused because of ignorance.

And BTW, the air launched Kh-55SM has a range of 3000 km, while the Kh-101 has a max range of upto 5500 km.

Man talk about precision strike on London and Paris right from Engels!

On a lighter note, I realized I used the term "Buyans in the Caspian" twice.

Great name for some obscure progressive metal band.

The folklore story of the disappearing island and all makes it an even better band name.

According to him, the Ukrainians have received Western weapons (from the USA included) and have successfully used them against Russia.
Apart from various criticisms of the Russian operation.

Can't wait to see

"Russian missiles are inaccurate"
"Russian missiles use 1970's electronics"

arguments popping up.

Those people acts like Glonass doesnt exist and Russia doesnt have electronics industry...

NATzO apologists are claiming that the new cruise missiles were supplied by Iran..

Analyst. Sure. Then I´m a brain surgeon.

"If it’s really so that nobody less than Army General Gerasimov (Chief of the Russian GenStab) is now running ops, at least in the Izium area, as many are reporting, then it seems his appearance had a degenerating effect upon the effectiveness of the VKS. Have monitored some of its operations of the last few days, but these not only made no sense to me: they simply were missing their targets most of the time."

How would the appearance of some General effect the accuracy of aircraft and their weapons?
And this dumbass should really ask himself: If the operations made no sense and no one was hitting their targets, where do all those dead Nazi soldiers come from and why the heck could the Russian Armed Forces liberate so many villages?

F... ing western retards.

I heard he has at least 1 Bill.

Like all fakes.
And quite old actually, this bullshit was aired a few years ago.
We have enough hidden Ukros here, no need to make new ones.

The cruise missile strikes have been going on for many hours now, there are reports of fresh strikes just now. So yeah, could definitely be the most serious barrage yet.

Mr. Kadyrov is right, suggesting The second stage should be conducted on whole of "Ukraine".
Lawlessness needs to stop.

"The main thing is to start the second stage. And specifically to conduct a special operation not only in the territory of Luhansk and Donetsk, but throughout Ukraine. Why? Because all the world's states that are armed with the best weapons — so they say-brazenly provide Ukraine. And these weapons are already being sold to local residents. This is already global chaos, lawlessness. So that this does not last, we need to put an end to it, we need to start the second stage," Kadyrov said.
