Russian special military operation in Ukraine #62

Grow some hair on your balls, and get back as an adult.

Yesterday all the westerners in Kiev were shitting their pants closing offices like there will be no tomorrow.
Today it get cleared, that  they have lost the Game of chickens.
And Russkie demonstrated a mature weapon system that can strike all of Europe, not only continental, from a safe distance, which was argued as a bluff only a year ago.

Edit : those Ch-101 hits observed were all targeting the Yuzhmash missile factory.

And by the way, some suggest that those strikes might have been "big caliber MLRS" which indicates Korean stuff rather than RS-26.

And guess what ? 600 mm KN25 has the range, but what's more interesting - it carries 6 ready to go missiles ...



I would call that an interesting coincidence ...

You just don't seem to understand what's going on, instead choosing to live in a fantasy while gatekeeping what Russia should do in response to its servicemen (and soon civilians no doubt) being killed.
Go turn the other cheek on your own dime, not ours.

And most crucially of all - unless the Russian leadership gets serious about showing NATO its place, and soon, what we will be looking at is a mass conventional war between Russia and NATO, it won't be avoided. And it will go nuclear eventually anyway. Stalin closing himself off in his bedroom for 3 days didn't make Operation Barbarossa go away, neither will whatever loops our leaders jump through as NATO makes it ever more clear to them that it could care less about their parlor tricks and demonstrations.

So you are saying you know exactly what these weapons hit and that they are not HATO or US facilities?

Interesting... not sure how you could possibly know this...

First of all, they hit Yuzhmash
Second of all, there are no NATO facilities in the Ukraine. They have declared none. But NATO certainly is hitting Russian facilities on Russian territory

But that's okay because as ALAMO says, NATO just conducted a demonstration strike, and there was nobody actually in that building the Storm Shadows impacted. Interested how he could possibly know that..

Sometimes I have a 180-degree opinion on the matter.
You are fading from one extreme to the other.
Like a 9y/o.
I wan it all, and I want it now!

When Russia stepped into this conflict at full scale, nobody considered that 3 years after it would end up with bankruptcy of all of Europe.
The fact that they will occupy 20% of Ukraine - and make it an "objective situation on the ground that must be considered" - everyone would call some mythomaniac dream.
If someone had told you back then, that Russia under 25+ k sanctions would be the world's 4th economy - you would have the full privilege to call him crazy.

As I said - you have an issue with seeing the trees, because forest is hiding them.

I have used Google Street View to check what is there.
A few abandoned buildings at the outskirts of the small sanatorial village.
Go check yourself, it is "Podyezd k sanatorium Marino" street.
Here you go :

I can clearly see a half of NK army fitting there.

ALAMO wrote:Well, it looks like they really get some special treatment there ...

And they have been heavily toasted conventionally, too ...

Jokes aside, it seams that a missile carries 6 independent blocks, with some sort of subammunition for each.
We are talking about kinetic missiles known from sci-fi books till now ...

Baby Avangarde's on a S-26 or maybe even kinetic rods from outer space?

The exact range of the weapons used in the missile attack that everyone is talking about is not known.
An Iskander could have been used, with multiple warheads and an improved range.

One more - different perspective.

Pay attention that there are no visible explosions on the ground.
Which suggests kinetic energy used ...

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman called during briefing, told not to comment on reports of ballistic missile strike on Ukraine

Speaking at a briefing on Thursday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova took a phone call during which she was heard being asked not to comment on reports of a ballistic missile strike on Ukraine.

The exchange was caught on a hot mic. It’s unclear who she was speaking with or whether the call was prearranged.

Марии Захаровой позвонили прямо во время брифинга МИД и попросили не комментировать удары баллистическими ракетами, обратило внимание «Агентство».

Неизвестный мужской голос сказал спикеру МИД «Наши удары баллистическими ракетами, о чем стали говорить, не комментируем». (An unknown male voice told the Foreign Ministry spokesman, “We are not commenting on our ballistic missile strikes, which is what they started talking about.”)

Было ли это случайностью или заранее продуманной постановкой, неизвестно.

The latest news on the RS-26 missile said that its development had been discontinued in favor of the Avangard system.

I thought they said they intercepted all but one of the missiles???

The main question is the rate of stockpiling missiles so massive as RS26 is.
It is practically a continent theatre ICBM that won't be much less expensive than Yars.
Still a serious overkill I would say.

Don't the alt nazis (Rheinmetall) have a few factories in Ukraine? That's a NATO facility.

They also have troops stationed there

Small price to pay as a warning sign.
