Russian special military operation in Ukraine #48

It is quite funny how Nafo trolls get excited, when advanced Nato weaponry can penetrate the Russian air defence once in a while with limited success, but nobody of them talks about how ineffective the Patriot air defence was when intercepting cheap weapons launched from Yemen towards Saudi Arabia.
I would not want to imagine how many Russian missiles could get through, if Putin decided a full-blown attack on EU and US soil.

I thought Russia already killed Nato generals and officers in Ukraine. Maybe they did not target all of them to keep the escalation level low, but I guess the gloves will be off very soon.

China demands Ukraine explain ‘low intellectual potential’ slur

When asked to comment on the statements by Podoliak during a briefing on Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said: “I don’t know the background of this person’s remarks, but he should clarify them.”

Later on Wednesday Podoliak took to X (formerly Twitter) to explain what he meant by questioning China’s and India’s intellectual abilities. He claimed that his comments were taken out of context by the Russian media.

ah the old Russian media is to blame trick, i'm sure any half decent translator who speaks Ukrainian can verify Podoliak comments were disparaging of Chinese and Indians,

They will do what they do best, absolutely nothing just a few cruise missile and drone strikes here and there and that's it.

It is quite funny how Shoigu tries to present that attacks on Crimea were not done with Storm Shadow, as that is an official red line per MOD.  And it is not the first time, either.

Bold and somewhat impressive attack. Nato gets lots of data and very good experience on using cruise missiles and decoys to penetrate hardened Russian air defense systems on Russian soil. They'll wait for the response now, but for the past 9 months it has been a series of gradual escalations, so one can expect if it's just another volley of drones and cruise missiles there will be something even more substantial in the future. This occurring so quickly after Pskov, however, suggests the pace may be increasing.

Proclaiming a no fly zone east of Snake Island followed by shooting down few US and NATO drones, to show that you mean business, should do the trick. It's not like they'll go to war over few drones.

Why hit ship in dry dock , and why now ? Dry dock means ship completely static and weapon very reliant on GPS . That is why Ship at Port not hit , because deliberately or accidentally is continuously  moved . So terminal active homing Radar , not effective or used . Also means GPS jamming , either not enough or not effective against weapon . Military GPS ? Mix and number of weapons means that aim was to overwhelm the computer , and / or the number of SAM fired , and this worked . Why now , is important ! Because they did not suddenly acquire eight to ten missiles , to celebrate Jellinsky birthday . But it was used , just after Ukrainian " civilian " ship was heading to port , and was hit , and during Putin visit with Kim . My solution in dry dock repair area , is to be surrounded by Balloons on steel wire . Between the wires , are held strong nylon nets . The height of net means that cruise missiles can not dive steeply enough to hit ship . Ballistic missiles can be taken care of by SAM . Alternatively use ports in far East( Iran )  to repair and return to home port . Or exchange / acquire ships from  Iran .

Edit : Horizontal Nets can stop ballistic missiles in the air or on the ground or below ground level . The interlinked elements of net are made of explosives that upon detachment , destroy the incoming !

The way the Russian do PR really is questionable. The time for talk is over, just rain 25 cruise missile on decision making centers already. Why they even are allowed to exist puzzles me. Also lofting 10 storm shadows requires at least planes. hmmm

Sevastopol should be very well protected.  I understand that some droms can break through, but not Storm Shadow.

It is well fucking protected. They used ATACMS , storm shadows and improvised s-200 missiles. 7-10 missiles

The stark reality is that every AD system can be defeated by saturation, the only question is, what is the saturation level. And this can be achieved by EW, decoys, and lots of missiles.

Nice little 2 sec clip. He might have said, that's a fucking stupid question

Good thing those are easier to build and already built en mass.

He said that there is no other option for Russia but to win. Ukrainian idiot cut the video

That's a bummer. Probably will be refitted for pride purposes more than its use but not anytime soon.

Expect similar attack over Berdyansk air base anytime soon.

The best counter-escalation is inflicting defeat on the ground by opening several fronts at once as well as killing the HIMARS threat reducing it to an obsolete weapon.

But don't expect something quick and poorly planned, this is what NATO expects from these provocations. Way better is that the Russian forces keep adding forces, polish their knives and boots till the opportunity shows by itself. Most likely around early 2024.

Damn, they completely destroyed the dry port and every ship in it. RIP 636
