Lancet kamikaze drone strikes the Ukrainian Dolgintsevo airfield in the Krivoy Rog region.It is very interesting how two Lancets were able to overcome such a distance - after all, from the nearest point on the left bank of the Dnieper to the airfield there are almost 65 kilometers. And remembering how the Lancets are carried and launched, I doubt that these are saboteurs. Moreover, the drone was flying FROM THE NORTH

Thanks for your replies . It looks like some think Russia has more than 50% achieved it's war aims , yet others believing in full victory , not stating a percentage . And all thinking that , it is early days and war should continue until complete victory 100% . In fact some said , no alternative , since Orcs can not accept peace and Russia will not accept anything but complete victory , until Orcs removed and NATO out . One or two highly dislike the idea that , maximum or most effort possible has already been made , and the contemplation of , or acceptance of more Russian refugees .
I think the only guarantee that local populations will not be subject to ethnic cleansing , is the actual presence of troops in those areas . Even if the Orcs and NATO run away at some stage , and the Orc's rule ends , then Russian troops need to advance , where the Ukrainian lines collapse . It is not enough , just to destroy hardware or kill Orcs . Also interdiction of supplies needs to be speeded up . Russia can not afford to worry about the UNSC response , when it hits a ship bound for Ukrainian port , or worry about possible " embarassing" hit against a repair yard . They are doing their worst already anyway . One idea to stop a ship , without sinking it , is to hit the Rudder . See ! No smoke or tears , and no arms shipment either ! Russians need to have the strength of their convictions . Unfortunate a sacrifice is unavoidable and needed, if full 100% complete victory is to be achieved .

The most interesting is that they didn't hit them way before with a salvo of BM-30 smerch. They are in the open, 60km away and can be used as spare part for the ones launching nato missiles. Another dumb thing by the russians.

2 years is the time needed to build a new one.
One of the boats was built in +/- 14 months, in peace time.
I guess they can go to a year, and make more than 2 at the same time.
I think it's safe to say it will fail a hydro pressure test
Not according to some reverse-loaded colloid drinkers here

New batteries could do the trick. Or a new version with some extra batteries.It is very interesting how two Lancets were able to overcome such a distance
For most of the last 10 years Alrosa looked worse.I think it's safe to say it will fail a hydro pressure test
A few roles of duct tape and the sub is like new.
Saw that in the last video from Martyanov:
Su-34 using Kh-101 would be great.
The Kh-59/69 are not long-range and the Izd. 720 is new.

In terms of American gridiron football, its late in the first quarter. Russia is up 10-6. Looks like a competitive game so far, but its still way too damn early to determine who wins this from a score position, but if you look at stats, its clear that the Russians are dominating this game but the game has not been going long enough for the scoreboard to reflect how lopsided this game is.
Russia is dominating every possible way. It's just there are 50 minutes of the game left still and it doesn't matter how much one side is winning, and also the crowd may yet decide to crash it which is the X factor of the whole thing and why Russia has to be on its guard and prioritize a defensive play.
Or whatever the ****. Never played American football in my life, sorry

Doesn't matter what weapon you get them with, so long as you get them.
Drones have the possibility to loiter and spot targets. They might not have known what was on the airfield if anything and then spotted a target of opportunity. Or perhaps there were no Russian Grad batteries in range.

Russia is leading 48-9. Belichicks (Shoigus) defensive play is tearing the opponent apart, just like the short pass game of Brady (Gerassimov) to Gronk (Surovikin) andIn terms of American gridiron football, its late in the first quarter.

Edelman (standing for all the Chechen fighters). I give the Ukros 3 field goals for all their miserable attempts to score cheap points on TikTok.

Could be a seat malfuction, or a thumb malfuction. Also with the US forces if you do certain maneuvers and lose control of the plane, policy is you eject below 10K feet if you have not regained control. So its possible the auto pilot was executing recovery steps but did not complete before the 10K deck arrived.

Eh, close enough. Its 10-6 now, and Russia has the ball and the Ukes have no air game and their ground gsme gains a yard (meter). The Uke cheerleaders are thrilled about that "game changing yard" they gained, but say nothing about the fact that all their starters are badly injured and they are running out of players to play the game. So yeah, its early in the first quarter, but you can tell that Russia is about to score 50 unanswered points to win it 60-6.
So how is Russia doing in a non sport metaphor? Well this war is going about 93 percent in their favor.

@garryb would it make you happier if I compared it to ATACMS
It's 610mm? Uragan doesn't have the range nowhere near it. But KN-25 isn't there version of iskander. KN-23 is and as I said it's unlikely to have decoys etc etc. But there is no mistaking it's identical to Iskander if it doesn't have the bells and whistles then we wouldn't know as it not visible just like the Russian systems. KN-25 uses different sizes of rockets, one being 600mm, another 450mm, and smaller rocket although Info on the size of the smaller has been give only thing I found was a smaller rocket is available it could be 220mm or 300mm but the system itself is almost identical to HIMARS, (just for Info $168,000 for each GMLRS rocket) see below first image is KN-25 with smaller missiles
HIMARS

There is a Russian proverb, that Russkie volna zbierajutsa, no bystra jedut.
Russians gear up slowly but drive fast.
Is it an answer to your question?

@djuric_zlatkoA missile strike on the market in Konstantinovka on September 6 in the part of the DPR controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces was carried out by the Ukrainian side - The New York Times
The most hilarious part of this story, it took them only two weeks to figure out the things that were crystal clear from the beginning.
Admitting it only when there was no further option to deny the thing.
Yet they still lie about that, because if they did any investigation, it is obvious clear that it was not a Buk system missile, but HARM.
The registered explosion patterns, fragments size, and the picture of the missile reflecting in the roof of the parked cars leave no doubts about that.
But Murican Wunderwaffe does not fail!
