    otor Sich in Zapo was hit multiple times with "something" that does not look formidable at the first glance. But at the second ... it was a dedicated spot in a big building hit. Spots. Three. In a bright daylight. No countermeasures. No sirens. ... sooo ... scratch Maybe we are talking some ... ekhm ... smaller caliber Laughing wrote:

    I can't remember, who in a position of power in Russia has said 'unconditional surrender' before?
    Maybe Medvedev on his Twitter X feed.

    "We are maintaining our defences with our last strength," 
    Like a broken clock, they are telling the truth from time to time.

    from old Soviet-era aircraft flown and maintained by Ukrainians to a modern 4th generation aircraft such as the F-16.”
    MiG-29 and F-16 are from the same generation.

    A bit like trying to fight in fog.
    That´s why Thermal Imaging was invented.

    Imagine what the destruct or even capture bonus would be on this?
    Contrary to the believes of this british dumbass Russia is roughly 15 years ahead in Laser tech.

    The news was to show Milei's servility to the West.
    If you two want to crack heads about Argentina, go to the right thread.
    Thanks!
    thumbsup

    I discussed certain stocks of missiles that we still have from Soviet times. 
    Mercouris talked about a S-125 system being destroyed lately by the VKS.

    The Ukrainians defeat most Russian attacks
    Lord, what a moron.  lol1
    A simple question to that dude: When the Ukros manage to defeat most Russian attacks, why are they losing ground all along the frontline?

    That is a level indicating a clear mental sickness.
    But he can´t do propaganda, because he is a western journalist!
    He is just reporting the news.  angel

    stealthy and can fit 6 inside of su57
    Isn´t it 2 per weapons bay?

    but with a select array of qualitatively superior hypersonic cruise and ballistic missiles
    And cheap drones. VERY cheap drones.

    No countermeasures.
    No sirens.
    Ukros: AD worked flawlessly!
    lol1

    Who's grandpa is this volunteer Leopard driver 
    Zelensky will look like this in a year.

    An interesting observation.
    The average age of Ukro cannon fodder hit 44 y/o.
    But there is a story behind it.
    Soviet times boomers.
    The ones that were born at the peak of the Soviet prosperity and social security - "born in 1975+" ...
    A bulk of today's Ukro society is made of them because no "nizalhizhnaya" time in the last 30+ years brought any sort of social prosperity after 1991.

    And one more historical perspective ...
    In the WWII, Soviets enjoyed the youngest higher command, all over.
    Generals and marschals that commanded the armies and fronts, were about the age of today's "regular conscript" of 404.
    Imagine that, before making your conclusions.

    By the way, is it only me who noticed that our doom team faded away? @Garry or @George, have you made any ... ekhm ... cleansing? Laughing
    Or just the situation in the background make them all crowled under the rock?

    Exactly 10 years ago, on April 12, 2014, a militia detachment under the command of the then little-known former FSB colonel and military historical reenactor Igor Strelkov entered Slavyansk, occupying the city police station.

    Just two days later, on April 14, the then acting President of Ukraine, Alexander Turchynov, will sign a decree on the start of an “anti-terrorist operation” in eastern Ukraine. Active hostilities will unfold on the territory of modern DPR and LPR.

    As a result of the failure of the ATO, the Ukrainian state will be forced to sign the Minsk agreements, which actually became the political capitulation of the country, non-compliance with which, as well as a series of mutual claims between Russia and Ukraine after them, will ultimately lead to February 22, 2022.

    So where is the French navy going ? Round the Horn of Africa ? And how long does it take to train an F16 pilot ? English language a problem ? Really ? Talk about dragging your heels ! SU 57 to cut it's teeth in Ukraine ? Why not ? But keep it flying over friendly ground . In case of emergency landing or crash , it falls in friendly territory and lasers by UK ? Taken out by drone easily . Argentine politician and General selling arms ? Well Turks sold arms , and I said fair enough for Turkey ! But not fair enough for the company that sold them . They get targeted sanctions . Murmurings of surrender by Ukraine ? Rapid advance to Deniper , a result of gloves off approach ..........

    The amount of sam systems knocked out by Russia especially in the last weeks has been incredible. Their cruise and quasi ballistic and hypersonic missiles have also worked remarkably well and Russia's own surface to air missile systems have proved themselves.

    I am noticing even nafo tier retards are grudgingly admitting that Russias MIC and military are a force to be reckoned with. The propaganda is failing. I just fear that our leaders are so deluded that they might make some insane decisions in their hubris. Our elites have been subverting and dismantling the very best in our nations. Now many of these elites have the gall to call for conscription. Many know what is going on. They will fight for the United States of America, not for the north American economic zone and the rainbow flag which embodies it.

    ANOTHER BRIDGE of Ukraine was destroyed.

    Russian aviation continues to liquidate strategic objects of Ukraine, thereby disrupting logistics chains and introducing demoralization to the Ukrainian rear.

    ✈ This time, Su-34 front-line bombers, with the help of the X-38, destroyed the enemy’s road bridge in the Zaporozhye direction!

    I was wondering the same and did some research.
    It is somewhere back in the thread.
    Long story short, they seriously increased the warhead thanks to space left after the depth charge fuze was removed.
    A whole system has its own stabilization, and is short ranged.
    It is a clear suppressive weapon for a close range fire support.  
    It will do it's job fine.

    Tactic seems to work good, that´s why Russia is working on stuff like this:
    Russian special military operation in Ukraine #55 - Page 26 011511

    Ukraine still has a dangerous AD.
    Single systems in remote places, no network.
    Take a look at the last attack, neither cruise missiles nor drones were shot at.
    In the past months we had the "Arab wedding party style" AD tactic against Geran drones.
    In the last three weeks you could clearly hear the drones attacking targets, but no fire from machine guns
    or assault rifles. Which indicates that the early warning capactiy has shrunk massively, possibly the
    means of communication, too.

    territory to drop on UMPK, but instead attacks with cruise missiles.
    Cost benefit factor.
    For targets far away a cruise missile is cheaper (not to speak about drones) than a plane flying for
    hours to drop a bomb.
    UMPK is much cheaper than missiles when used along the frontline against targets on the tactical level.
    Or close behind the frontline.

    How many Patriot launchers does the West have in total?
    Much less than Zelensky demands.  lol1

    Just like in case of the republican "Cheburashka" system - it was all about the delivered punch. That is why they needed more of missiles of bigger caliber, compromising range. Trench warfare forced this solution.
    I guess they have a really massive stock of this RBUs, both launchers and missiles. Dozens of decommissioned ships carried those. Modification is easy - hey are removing deptch charge fuse, pour additional explosive material in the space that was left after the process, and add an impact fuse instead.
    RGB-60 carried a 25 kg explosives load originally, so if they even bother to add some more, it must be enough space to make it relevant.
    A 203mm HE round carries less than 18kg of explosives, so we are talking about a firepower bigger that Pion delivers. Probably about double that ...
    Nobody would enjoy being a receiver's end of 12 pc salvo ...
    Call me impressed.
