Russian special military operation in Ukraine #32

To prevent their cruise missiles from being intercepted by Ukrainian SAMs what Russia can do is use cruise missiles in tandem with a reconnaissance drone flying at high altitude and detecting targets. Then the reconnaissance drone transmits coordinates to the cruise missiles allowing it to glide towards the target.

I wouldn't bother to be honest... as long as the targets they wanted destroyed are getting hit if the Orc SAMS bring down any missiles, just fire a few more missiles to get that target.

Orcs using up SAMs on missiles and drones is a good thing because those SAMs can't be used against manned Russian aircraft and high flying drones might see the intercept and allow the SAM site to be attacked too.

Isos, do you have any other nonsense from your arsenal of nonsense to share with us

No need to be rude Pod... the videos are interesting.

It was an invisible&invincible Rafael intercepting those missiles, you silly!

If he responds by putting words in your mouth do not complain to me please....

The little comedian on the propaganda piano in Kiev is no Erich von Manstein. More Eric Morecombe (late English comedian).

I object to that comparison... Morecombe and Wise were hilarious... and never pandered to nazis.

The US always betrays and abandons its proxies. Zelensky and Ukraine are no different. The backing off has been going on subtly for weeks, but the Polish missile crisis does seem a turning point.

Whether that missile was an accident or on purpose, Zelensky used it to whore more money and weapons and actual action from HATO... are the Polish ready to realise that Kiev will be happy for Polish people to die for Kievs cause?

However those kalibr still fly to high. They should be flying 50-100m not above.

If they fly too low cables can be strung up between buildings to stop them... and it makes shooting them with small arms much easier too.

The question is why is Russia building defenses in Crimea? Are they planning to withdraw completely from the south of Ukraine?

They were not building defences, they were fixing them and improving them... ie not construction... maintenance.

Those russian(not LNR, lugansk is an integral part of Russia) troops disrespected themselves by being captured by those poorly equipped monkeys

A lesson for the rest... no point in surrender... fight to the death because they will kill you anyway.

Polish President Andrzej Duda also stated that the country's air defense system was unable to shoot down a fallen Ukrainian missile.

Yeah, why didn't super HATO air defences detect the incoming ancient Russia SAM and shoot it down?

When war started, they were using these red colored , winged decoys that look like small cruise missiles, I recall pictures of them back in February but have not seen them since

And I am not talking about those dart shaped decoys from Iskander

These were red winged decoys

They have a range of target drones they use to test air defence units, the drones are cheap and are intended to be destroyed with each use and can be fitted with radar and IR equipment to allow them to replicate the radar and IR signature of different target types... (ie corner reflectors to appear to be big aircraft and IR emitters to look like they have much bigger and more powerful engines than a tiny drone with a cheap tiny engine.

Chernishiv had an arrival half an hour ago.

The same cheap simple jet engine that the V1 buzz bomb used...

Ukraine will cease to exist before it becomes a full member of NATO, that is for certain.
You can't join NATO with a border dispute in progress, it's against the membership rules.

Therefore Ukraine can't join NATO until it's military is defeated by Russia, and the government surrenders.

The US is bending over backwards not to send troops to fight Russian troops officially because they say they don't want to start WWIII... and letting Kiev join HATO or the EU would start WWIII so it wont happen.

Not destroy, but they should occupy a few more of them, and disconnect their power to the rest of the country.  Elensky was working with cookie monster Nuland to build up a bio weapons program, and Noodles even admitted it.  With all the nuclear waste lying around those plants, and given Elensky's complete disregard for human life I would not put beyond them making a dirty bomb with some of that.  Remember, a nuke requires specially processed stuff, dirty bombs just need radioactive materials tied to a conventional explosive.  They aren't military weapons, they are terrorist weapons and so yeah I could see the Ukes, with US assistance, putting some together.  So no, while Russia should not bomb them, they should seize most of them as is practicable for them.

Ukraine have already made a dirty bomb, it's called Chernobyl.

Oh come now, it was all rather reasonably explained by the journalists. ‘Twas Iranian armaments then the North Koreans’ stepped in and helped out so all they have to do is ration them and wait until Santa steps in next month. Simple….

The absolute state

There were widespread protests against the Kiev regime in Odessa last night.

As they get detained and tortured, probably even killed by the SBU, will we see the same amount of concern raised in western countries as we saw re Iran recently?

Rhetorical question, of course. Yesterday the umpteenth Ukrainian war crime video made the rounds, no media has yet to give a damn. But a small-time criminal from the Moscow suburbs who *volunteered* (ie wasn't mobilized) and started badmouthing his drill sergeant, THAT is newsworthy.

Garry, I didn't insult Isos, I just wrote him that it was another of his nonsense.
I'm not going to be rude to anyone except MR HD - that stinker openly wrote that he supports Ukroshitstan. If there is another bastard who, like MR HD, will openly write that he is for Ukroshitstan - let him declare himself so that we know how to address him. How stupid, naive or malicious does one have to be not to see what Ukroshitstan is all about.


Isos is a man who also has good messages, rarely lately, but it is obvious that Western propaganda has influenced him as well, so he believes in some fairy tales.
I'm sorry, but I can't forget story of Isos about the Rafale plane because he writes about it as if it were a technological marvel of the 22nd century.
And it's not, it's not at all.
The Rafale is an old aircraft project and I sincerely believe that our retards in Serbia will give up on that aircraft.
At the time when the Rafale first flew in 1986, the city of Shenzhen had 50,000 inhabitants, and China had neither highways nor high-speed railways.
We in Serbia have a nice saying for something that has caught the ravages of time "It's hard to make a girl out of a grandmother"...

I already wrote earlier that the future is not European, American or Russian - the future belongs to Asia and China at its head. Christianity is screwed up, dilapidated and decadent - there is no perspective. I think the same about those who glorify Western or Russian military equipment while disparaging both Chinese - that's not good either.

KH-55 may be old, but its still a formidable missile. Probably makes a good decoy because if its good endurance. It can probably keep making passes for 2-3 hours if they don't hit it.

Exactly...
The year 1983 was also the year when both cruise missiles became operational, that is, the American BGM-109 "Tomahawk" (March 1983) and the Soviet (read Russian) H-55 "izdeliye-120".
On December 31, 1983, the missile officially became operational.

Considering the price tag, stocks and replacement possibilities, I find this discussion about "intercepting" Russkie missiles actually funny Those are Gerans intercepting IRIS/NASAM, not the opposite

Ukies and west are thinking each interception is for an active Russian cruise missile which is totally nonsense .

Russians are using waves of decoys missiles and between that they are targeting specific targets with real missiles .

Second thing Russia is making false alarms in Ukraine by the take off Mig-31 and other platforms which trigger the alarm in Ukraine and activate their AD systems each time and this put more operational issues for their systems which needs more time for maintainance.

Russia can send hundreds of decoys each week to empty the AD missiles in Ukraine ,that's why the west can never win in the AD game because it's a Russian made game ,they know it better than anyone .

The west is just destroying more Ukraine's assets using a nazi persons who have no idea what they did to their country , Ukraine total loss now is near to 2.5 trillion dollars ,they gonna be under loans for a long time ,they gonna import food ,electricity ,arms and everything from abroad ,they already lost 8 millions people to abroad ,their civil and military industry are gone .

contrary to some people here ,i see this as the real loss , i don't see the last Russian retreat from Kherson city is a big thing ,it's just the right thing ,the bigger idea is that Ukraine future is fukn dark ,they lost their advantags on the eyes of EU .

Multiple incomings all night long.
Motor Sich plant was turned into rubbles, at least 3 missiles were received.
As that is not the first time they get a dose, it seems to be a long lasting and complex curation ...

They have lost this advantage long time ago bro.
Ukraine presented only one value for the EU. It was the size of the consumer market.
On the other side, the rule in the EU is based on parity. Ukraine while being quite a big country, with 42+ mln people, would get the same size of power as Spain. Nobody in the EU was interested in that for real, including Poland in the first place. Ukraine would have gotten a bigger size of the EU cake.
The sizes of export quotas EU offered them would be enough to carry the trade for a few weeks at most. EU is not a charity organization, it is a trade treaty first of all. People do like to miss that part of the story.
Ukraine in the conditions they represented back there would never have been fully membered with the EU, rather stay in a frozen candidate condition. And forced to open its market for that, while closing the access to the SNG. That is why Yanuk made a turn back in 2013.

Although you all write about aviation and ground forces, the fact is that the Caspian Flotilla and the Black Sea Fleet did a lot of work in returning Ukroshitstan to the pre-Tesla period.

If the truth is too sensitive, because it might put lives at risk, then say nothing.
That is much better than misinformation, lies, and propaganda, so many of us have grown up to think is acceptable government behavior.

Be a role model, not an also-ran.

ALAMO is right, the Ukroshitstans drank a lot of cruise missiles last night.

Clearly the ability to operate in a real war was not one of the mandatory requirements in the Specification.

Interesting information appeared in the German press today that the AFU has big problems with German self-propelled howitzers. Fourteen of them have been delivered and now most of them are out of service. But the funny thing is that it is problematic to repair them because of the lack of spare parts.

Just to remind you, these Panzerhaubitze 2000 were positioned by Ukrainians as "absolute weapons". Just as a little earlier the notorious "Javelins" and "Byraktars" and then American M777 guns.

Nobody remembers "Javelins" nowadays, though just recently they were drawing icons, "Byraktars" have been destroyed so much that probably they have stopped counting, and American miracle guns were also successfully destroyed. By the way, they are quite vulnerable and precisely because of their technological guidance system, which breaks down not even from firing, but from dirt and difficult operating conditions.

Now the same fate has befallen the German "wunderwaffe". German howitzers also do not withstand the operating conditions and intensity of firing, it is impossible to repair them in the field, and stationary repair proved to be a problem, as German engineers did not consider the stresses to which the product of their thought would be subjected. Spare parts were in short supply for this very reason - no one anticipated that the weapon would end up in a real war, rather than shooting some Afghan insurgents. It was very smooth on paper, but it's the collision with reality that the miracle of German engineering doesn't stand up to.

In other words, they work on a firing range and parades. It's good to know .

The excuse was that there was very intense shooting with 300 shells a day! 

300 shells a day is not intense. Some russian 2S19 are using 300 shells in 2 or 3 hours.

Because they need to. After the 2nd or 3rd shot, the pzh2000 and krab are extremely accurate, due to a digital FCS and much longer range(30km regular round, 40km RAP, 60km Smart or excalibur, while 24.7km, regular, 30km RAP, 27km krasnopol for msta) . The msta and giatsint arent and without krasnopol, need to fire 10-50 rounds at a target to disable it..  The koalitsiya is superior toNATO systems but its still being "ironed out"(translation: potbelly dinosaur pennypinchers don't want to throw a penny to mass produce them). Russian ammo expenditure is a sign of obsolete tech, not superiority. That being said, NATO artillery really doesn't cope withe xtended fire, but it doesn't need to. actual NATO coalition armies, with about 700-900 pzh2000, archer, krab, AS-90, paladin, M198 would the wipe the floor against 2000-3000 D-20s, 2S19M2, D-30s, msta-B, giatsint B, pion
