Note the 155mm shells are back in stock, the 4 HIMARS must be ex stock as opposed to the 18 in the last batch which were on a long lead time, and the RAAM 155mm rounds each containing 9 mines (they must be expecting an RuA tank assault).
This latest military assistance package is a so-called "drawdown," meaning that the items are taken directly from U.S. military stocks and transferred to the recipient, in this case Ukraine. Per an official press release, its complete contents are as follows:
Four High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and associated ammunition 16 155mm Howitzers 75,000 155mm artillery rounds 500 precision-guided 155mm artillery rounds 1,000 155mm rounds of Remote Anti-Armor Mine (RAAM) Systems 16 105mm Howitzers 30,000 120mm mortar rounds 200 MaxxPro Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles 200,000 rounds of small arms ammunition Obstacle emplacement equipment Claymore anti-personnel munitions

Again, multiple claims that 80% of all Twitter accounts are boots, and used deliberately for pushing the demanded agenda.
That cooperates perfectly well with the studies from the Adelaide uni, where they were very conservative for a key to determine boot/real account and came up with the same result as a maximal.
This is how the "Twitter society opinion" is created
And I would say that some of those work here as well.

Where are the mi-28 armed with atgm to destroy those vehicles in the open. They have the top mounted radar to even detect them from far away and hit them from 8km away staying above friendly zones where there is no manpads.
Instead they keep using artillery.
Total lack of ground launched atgm. Kornet should be the king of those open fields yet we haven't seen any footage of it being used against vehicles. The few video showed it against soft targets.

What do you want to write, that they are as bad as you wrote about Su-30 and Su-34 ? As far as I can see from your comments in recent days, Russia is a "paper tiger" or ? You didn't fall into the trap of becoming an armchair general, did you ?

There was a video of a Ka-52 engaging a Ukrainian tank with an ATGM very recently
Or is it a Mi-28 specifically you are after Sir? What modification, N or NM?

Falling into the trap of - absence of evidence being evidence of absence. Way too often among folks here
But yes, directing artillery is actually even safer than launching ATGMs no matter from how far away or from what platform. All the more so if it's some little UAV directing it

The Ka-52 does the main burden of Anti-Tank and early years Christmas delivery through windows. The Mast mounted radar is useful, however it has like the Longbow radar of the Apache negative effect on flight performance and high maintenance due to the heavy vibrations caused from the main rotor. Main target acquisition is done by either Ka-52 or by drones which are the main use for the sexy Izd. 305 footage we have seen. For tests they probably use the Arbalet radar and we don't see that many footage of all the heli sorties they fly, but a selected few. Russia is testing quite a few systems right now as it is the best opportunity to test and improve systems.
ATGM's have been used and are used far more frequently than we see. The guys at the front are not there for us military enthusiasts, arms chair generals as some sort of entertainment. They have better things to do than filming everything they fire. Footage comes mostly if they are ambushing or have free pass to film. Most don't film as it is prohibited and is distracting at least one soldier from his job.
Some treat this war like a Roman Colosseum for their personal amusement, completely ignoring that they are indeed young guys fighting for their lifes and survival of Russia.

It seems to me that some people (westerners) here have a secret sense of Western "superiority" that I have to write something about. You are used to a good life, but at the expense of other countries. It seems to me that this is coming to an end. I would like to see how your Western F-15, F-16, Rafale, Eurofighter would perform in such a conflict, as it is in Ukroshitstan. And while you write about precision-guided aerial bombs, I wonder if you have ever wondered if the NATO Pact has enough of them for a conflict of this intensity ? I think not. We already know about Leopard-2 that suffered a lot of shit from goat-fuckers, so he would only experience slaughter in Ukroshitstan. The same goes for Leclerc, Abrams, etc. * While reading your comments, I get the impression that all Russians have left Russia - fleeing mobilization.. * As I read your comments about the progress on the front, I get the impression that soon Putin will fall from power and that Navalny is coming * According to you, everything has failed and soon not only Navalny will come, but the whole of Russia will be speaking English in a few years - maybe also Ukroshistan language.. * The Russian strategic army will become the strategic army of Ukroshitstan - which will defeat China.. * Most of you know all about Russian tech and its flaws, it seems to me that you are reading too much into garbage like Oryx.

MOSCOW, October 5 - RIA Novosti. Zaporozhye NPP becomes the property of Russia. The corresponding document is published on the official Internet portal of legal information.
"The Government of the Russian Federation: a) ensure the adoption of federal ownership of the objects of use of atomic energy of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and other property necessary for the implementation of its activities; b) take measures aimed at creating a federal state unitary enterprise "Zaporizhzhya NPP" in order to ensure the safety of objects of use atomic energy of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant," the decree says.

But Joe Biden and the dog and Pony show that is the North Atlantic [Animal] Training Organization is on record that it doesn't recognize it. Now to be sure, Uncle Touchy also said that the taliban would never retake Afghanistan and he said the vaccine would stop covid. He also has a hard time in public. Not saying he has alzheimers, but he clearly has dementia.
Dementia and Alzheimers are part of the same spectrum of brain dysfunction and atrophy. It is related to the brain becoming insulin resistant and resulting atrophy also involving malfunctioning of neuron lysomes. Just another facet of metabolic syndrome.
NATzO can recognize the Moon is made out of blue cheese for all it matters. It is trying to foist its "rules based order" where it makes up rules for the occasion and deletes previous rules on a whim. The "recognition" of countries by other countries is BS. The rights and real law stem from the local populations in those countries.

Mr CCP and longtime buddy of Xi (and any other Chinese head of state there has been) Henry Kissinger is warning that China will move away from Russia.
The writing was already on the wall when every Chinese propaganda hack suddenly started blabbering about respecting 'territorial integrity' and 'internationally recognized borders' the moment annexation of the 4 Oblasts became the talk of the town.
Mercouris is trying to figure out why Russia is letting the Kiev regime forces gain ground without any push-back. He notes that it is strange that Russia has not been in a rush to deploy its reserves.
Maybe it has something to do with all the nuclear weapons threats from NATzO through the back channels and including the brainwashing of NATzO residents with propaganda about Russian nuclear threats. I think NATzO is desperate and ignorant enough to try to use nukes against Russian forces in Ukraine. This may sound wildly detached from reality, but not all that we see and think we understand is all of what is going on.
