    If talking about the ones which attacked Sevastopol, they were armed with Neptun missiles per Russian Telegram reports

    Them being armed with Storm Shadows are a British claim, that the Ukrainians disputed. Mercouris went over this.

    That all goes with saying - but people, any people, do need to have at least a few functional brain cells to share between them. That goes for both Americans and Ukrainians.

    This is a good development, Russia needs to increase its bombing campaign on all industrial plants all across Ukraine, this should include previously civilian plants which are now used for war production. Ukrainian industry needs to be leveled down to zero.

    Aside from industrial plants, I repeat my call to bomb food, water, and other facilities that are essential for supporting life, if its too much to bomb hospitals, at least bomb support facilities that will render the hospitals useless, this will make life harder for both Ukrainian and NATO terrorists attack

    11/09 Russkie hit Dolhintsevo airbase.

    47.89111243972323, 33.53175484993051

    Just take a look at it. It is one of hundreds of exSoviet bases scattered along a whole territory of 404. It's condition shows clearly it was unused for years.
    Yet it was used now, by MiG-29 and Su-25 that carried HARM missiles. 2x Mig 29 and 3x Su-25 were destroyed according to Russkie MoD report.

    Mobilized Russians will not return home until the end of the war

    This was announced by the Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense Andrei Kartapolov.”



    Before that Kartapolov said there will be rotation. In my opinion, not a good choice. Mobiks are doing quite of fighting.

    According to Mediazona, "mobiks" lost about 3500 men since last year. That means 95%+ of them are fine, man rear positions, and are being rotated.

    Haha. So it is an amazing feat, a historical moment even, to damage an old sub already undergoing repairs in a dry dock, because you lack ASW capabilities.

    Good news everyone, you can make "history" if you toss an egg at an airliner parked on the tarmac, as nobody's ever been able to toss an egg at one at 40k feet.

    He is NAFO Pig.

    Even Pro-Ukrainian tank enthusiasts started to despise him. Especially when he started to copy other people posts and even then make mistakes. Even salty (understandable at least) Ukrainian Andrei_bt is more objective and much smarter.

    Back when the Challenger 2 was taken out this fool was claiming on trusted information from his 'friends' that the tank was disabled by a mine and then Molotov'd by the crew to prevent capture.

    And by coincidence this exact same version was spread by Ukro disinfo sources around the same time.

    a lot of people here claim that the occasional provocation and crossing of Russian "red lines" by NATO is with the intention to provoke Russia into doing some mistake

    What is this mistake that NATO is hoping for? other than baiting Russia to expend its forces to quickly occupy Ukraine which some in here would cost a significant number of casualties


    I am sure that firebombing Ukrainian cities is not one of these intentions by NATO, so Russia should simply burn as much cities and towns in Ukraine to impose more suffering and hardship on the common Ukrainian cannon fodder.

    Russia should take exemple of the ukro usage of su-24. They have even better ones with a ready to use kh-59mk2, yet they keep using tupolevs with kh-101 or kh-22 instead.

    Those ukro su-24 armed with storm shadow are beasts.

    The Orcs are doing so badly why would Russia want to copy anything they do?

    The orcs are using the Su-24s the way they were designed to be used... fly low and fast and launch weapons outside of the range of air defences that might shoot your aircraft down.

    Except Tupolevs launching 4,500km range cruise missiles that hit their targets are getting the job done just fine.

    Most of the storm shadows and some of the Su-24s are getting shot down, and once in a while a storm shadow sneaks through and hits an unimportant undefended target.

    It is not the fault of the storm shadows or the Fencers, it is just a natural consequence of going up against strong air defences.

    It is the fault of the government that the government engage in disastrous policy that bring harms to both USA people and Russian people. USA people have no fault here, they are also the victims of their government.

    They say you get the government you deserve... these idiots have been talking shit for a while yet Americans continue to vote them in to power... and lets be honest... if a politician can deliver a good economy for a decent period what they do on the world stage most Americans couldn't care less about as long as America appears strong to the rest of the world.

    There are plenty of sensible Americans but they are not a majority.

    Haha. So it is an amazing feat, a historical moment even, to damage an old sub already undergoing repairs in a dry dock, because you lack ASW capabilities.

    Well they hit that sub with a missile because those despicable Russians were pulling the same tricks the Chinese do by using the Sea to hide their submarines...

    What is this mistake that NATO is hoping for? other than baiting Russia to expend its forces to quickly occupy Ukraine which some in here would cost a significant number of casualties

    Russia will have an overall plan of what they want to do, but some things like going on an offensive will require levels of stores to be good and of course for the weather to be suitable and for the enemy forces to be in a specific state... mounting a counter offensive early or late can have negative consequences, which basically boil down to increased casualties on the Russian side without increased casualties on Kievs side.

    Right now there are a lot of losses for the Orcs with rather less losses for Russia and that is good for Russia but not so good for the west because they are sending all this ammo and weapons and money to the Orcs and they still seem to be losing badly.

    Usually I would be disappointed with two ships getting blown up by apes but those two obsolete Soviet bathtubs were just couple of turds that Russian Navy (the most useless organization ever conceived) was polishing so they could pretend they have assets while they constantly refuse to accept new vessels under construction and demand never ending redesigns of projects they had already agreed to while doing God knows what with the money

    This way two rust buckets that should have been scrapped long ago are off the roster, Navy will be forced to either accept existing items on offer or shrink and Ukrainians were busy doing useless shit instead of trying to kill Russian troops

    Important thing is that Russia keeps making Ukrainian corpse pile bigger, everything else is a distraction

    Grens and Kilos are in production, they just need to order them and keep their stupid incompetent mouths shut until they are delivered

    Moskva has proven that Soviet ships are obsolete, time to clean up the inventory
