You would think there would be more rockets etc going off instead of just the big explosions. One thing i am stuck on is that If it was a missile it would have to be moving pretty fast to not catch anything on the film. Even in this crappy himars video you are still catching a glimpse of the warhead at 18 sec. And the video of saki we have is much better.

Our commanders know damn well what that system could have meant for Ukraine at the beginning. We truly missed a great chance to have ended this along time ago and I wonder why?. Remember that 20 something mile long convoy heading towards kyiv at the beginning of the war that just sat there for like 4 days?, and rhe whole world wondered why it just sat there and why it wasn't decimated..my friend said scenarios like that convoy are what the himars was made for, very accurate and very deadly artillery that has a long reach under a time sensitive target. Basically we fucked Ukraine by not having those in country on day one, but I assume it was because we as in Nato just want to bleed Russia dry. And do it slowly. We could have sent them the tools to end this the first week, but just sent them piece meal tools to drag this on at the cost of Ukrainian blood. But I also see that NATO at the right time will hand over the right equipment to end this war with a big smash.. and it's coming I believe |

Shit I'll have to ask him what unit he was in.. I know he served in the first gulf War and in 2003 in Iraq and he said they laid waste with the Himars. But I think they used the himars later in the war. He was a career marine. |

What you saw was a T-80BVM that was captured in March that had already been stripped of anything useful including the explosive filler in the ERA. https://twitter.com/oryxspioenkop/status/1498984538319597573?s=21&t=MWyEhXO_4tGbrnploGw5-Q https://youtu.be/T_fwZf9vrO0 But that doesn't explain why the explosive filler was refilled in its complete volume by rubber on all the Kontakt-1 ERA on the turret roof. It also doesn't explain the angled metal piece that is bolted inside and sandwiched with the filler which is supposed to be there, you should not be able to flip through this material like a thick deck of cards either. The plates are metal encased explosives. There would be no point to remove that metal piece as manufactured, it's simply missing from the beginning. The other ERA on the front of the hull does have removed explosive filler, but there must have been a graft going on at the place that made the Kontakt-1  Inside, each brick should look like this: The gray stuff is the explosive material, the other parts are the metal plates bolted inside.

It's coming out they don't use MIL qualified components Most everything electronic is purchased from other countries. Electronics is currently embargoed. Don't expect much from a country with a GDP of Texas Russia does have a vast amount of natural resources. Instead of improving the Russian people and economy, Putin goes to war THIS!! The truly sad part of this is: the West truly gave Russia a chance. After 1989, we truly put 40 years of war behind us, and yeah: the Cold War was a real war with Russia. The sanctions have exposed how we welcomed them into our western international financial systems. Most of Russia leapt forward after 1989, leaving behind the dysfunctional Russia of the USSR and increasingly looking like Western Europe. They could have had it all. But they could not stop Putin. They welcomed him. They looked the other way when Putin swept aside the corrupt oligarchs, only to replace them with even more corrupt oligarchs who are all former KGB thugs. In a way, I am grateful for this war because it has exposed Putin’s true nature to the world. We cannot stop fighting until Putin’s regime is utterly destroyed. |

Since HIMARS was a high demand item most AT they did seperate from the Regt because there was a need to meet various combatant commanders’ need for HIMAR support from the Marines. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: I feel sorry for many Russians. Their country has a lot going for it, both culturally and naturally. They could’ve had a bright future and a productive and friendly relationship with Europe. But as a society they couldn’t let go of several hundred years of insecurity dealt with by aggression. No one was going to invade them. It’s a 19th century self-serving fantasy. Now no one trusts them. They’ve ruined their future and they deserve it for committing genocide in Ukraine. When your history back to antiquity is other folks coming and taking over I think it becomes much harder to overcome. But they were doing it, Europe had been working with them. But they went back to full retard again and well, perhaps its time to say.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By birdbarian: What makes you think the UAF isn't holed up in the ruins? Who knows. If I was stuck defending those apt's, I'd take a couple of quick shots at the Russian lead elements then fall back to prepared positions away from the obvious targets/buildings. Rinse and repeat until terrain or equipment favors you. Unless there was a UA BTG trapped in those buildings (no sign of any equipment etc) then that TOS attack seems like a waste. Like the US calling for a B52 strike for a sniper or some asshole with a PKM. The RU commander probably couldn't convince his troops to mount an assault so they chose the TOS. Most likely only a few civilians there trying to hide in the basement. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By _disconnector_: I had a painful realization about a decade ago. It's completely obvious but it had never occurred to me. I'm a principal engineer for an overly large technology company. I'm surrounded day in and out by other engineers and developers. My peer group is technical and type A for the most part. While I'm certainly no genius, I deal with complex problems every day and design unique and (hopefully) innovative solutions with my brain and experience. I know that many of you do work every day in the trades that require the same sort of thinking and smarts so I know it's not just a technology thing. My dad who is a car mechanic is literally the smartest "common sense" man that I know - he can figure out pretty much anything if you give him time to get oriented. This isn't a schooling thing - it's a natural ability to process data and come up with effective solutions. And we all have self selected a group that's like ourselves to hang out with so we assume *everyone* is like us. But they aren't . . . One day I was driving home and I was struck by the utter incomprehensible stupidity of many of the folks in cars around me. Many of them drive like the cognitive load of operating a motor vehicle and breathing simultaneously is just too much. They wander all over the road oblivious to everyone else around them like they're lost or something. Or just step into a Walmart for 10 minutes and you'll be up to your neck in people who probably need Ikea style pictographic instructions to put on their underwear correctly. I said to myself - " what the f^&k?!?! . . . it's like they're stupid or something". And it struck me - the average IQ is 100 right? That means that 50% of Americans fall on the high AND the low side of the curve. Literally half of the people around you have a sub 100 IQ. I know it sounds like an obvious thing but I had never really thought about it. It's just that many people are literally stupid and lack the ability to process incoming data and create intelligent opinions. That's the only reason that I can come up with to explain people following Alex Jones or QAnon.

Sadly, I don't think much of RU cares if their propaganda is disproved. In their reality, it's true and they don't care what anyone else thinks. |

I have a very good friend who was in the marines and served on the Himars for a looong time! Like close to 10 years. He always told me about the badassness of the Himars but like a dumb ass I just saw it as another multiple rocket launcher and he was just beefing it up to sound badass. He told me it changed how wars will be fought and I'm like yea ok dude..lol.. after seeing the huge difference it has made for Ukraine in this war I'm a true believer in the badassness of the weapon system, and I'm wondering now why it wasn't sent in the very first weapons and munitions delivery at the beginning. Our commanders know damn well what that system could have meant for Ukraine at the beginning. We truly missed a great chance to have ended this along time ago and I wonder why?. Remember that 20 something mile long convoy heading towards kyiv at the beginning of the war that just sat there for like 4 days?, and rhe whole world wondered why it just sat there and why it wasn't decimated..my friend said scenarios like that convoy are what the himars was made for, very accurate and very deadly artillery that has a long reach under a time sensitive target. Basically we fucked Ukraine by not having those in country on day one, but I assume it was because we as in Nato just want to bleed Russia dry. And do it slowly. We could have sent them the tools to end this the first week, but just sent them piece meal tools to drag this on at the cost of Ukrainian blood. But I also see that NATO at the right time will hand over the right equipment to end this war with a big smash.. and it's coming I believe Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AROKIE: Originally Posted By theskuh: Originally Posted By Birddog15: I don't think that is ammo going off.

One thing i am stuck on is that If it was a missile it would have to be moving pretty fast to not catch anything on the film. Even in this crappy himars video you are still catching a glimpse of the warhead at 18 sec.

He told me that when he was young, potato was sometimes spelled "pototoe". I dont know if that is true, but the guy was a high level engineer/geologist in his career. @Ryan_Ruck I had found this before on Quora: The spelling "potatoe" was widely used in the 19th Century, but by the early 20th Century the spelling without the final 'e' had become widely accepted as the correct version for the singular of the word (the plural is "potatoes"). In 1992, then-Vice President Dan Quayle read from a spelling bee answer card that erroneously gave the spelling as "potatoe". Quayle later said that he thought it was wrong at the time but read off the version that was written on the card given to him by an English teacher at the school. Being a Republican candidate in a national election campaign, he was mercilessly ridiculed by the media for the mistake. None of the children in the spelling bee had ever seen any spelling besides "potato." Ironically, the alternate spelling "potatoe," while uncommon, was still used infrequently at that time. For example, the New York Times was still occasionally spelling potato with an -e as late as 1988. Spellings of "potatoe" can be found in the media all the way up to 15 June 1992, the date of the Quayle incident, at which point they suddenly stopped except when used in an ironic way Now, back to burning BMPs for me. |

I'm pretty sure the air base was not a sof operation. If it was, they (UA) would never admit that because it would put the soldiers at risk. The fact that UA throwed it out there, only makes sense, if it was a rocket/misslle salvo's.
I wonder if LM sent some of their JASSAM since it looks like UA is getting a few airsraft. I don't know how much it has changed in the last decade but it was pretty nice. Supposedly could be programmed with sat pics and could compare that to the onboard camera/sensors to determine its flight path. Very accurate back then (2005). No telling what its capabilities are now. I was told back then, it had a cluster munitions model that was exported to the Israelis. |

I believe we’re serious and aren’t going to let Russia get away with nuclear blackmail, let alone nuclear use. Someone in Russia had better do what’s necessary, fast.

ISW assessment came in for August 11th.
https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-august-11 Russia’s 64th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade (64th SGMRB) of the 35th Combined Arms Army (CAA) has likely been destroyed in combat, possibly as part of an intentional Kremlin effort to conceal the war crimes it committed in Kyiv Oblast. Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty (RFEFL) investigative journalist Mark Krutov conducted an investigation into the brigade following its participation in atrocities in Bucha and concluded that after heavy fighting on the Izyum and Slovyansk axes, the brigade has largely ceased to exist.[6] Krutov stated that out of 1,500 soldiers who were in the brigade before the war, 200 to 300 were likely killed.[7] Krutov quoted CNA Russia Studies director Michael Kofman’s estimates that the typical ratio for those killed to those wounded in action is around 1 to 3.5, which would mean that the 64th SGMRB suffered up to 700 to 1,000 wounded in action.  It is typical for Russian units that are so severely degraded during combat to be disbanded and survivors reallocated into other combat elements, but Krutov noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot disband the 64th SGMRB without embarrassment. Putin had awarded the brigade the honorary “guards” designation on April 18, following the emergence of evidence that it had committed war crimes in Bucha.[9] The brigade was rushed back into combat in eastern Ukraine after it had completed its withdrawal from around Kyiv without much time to rest, refit, receive replacements, or recover. Speculation at the time ran that the Kremlin was eager to have the brigade destroyed in combat to avoid revelation of its war crimes.[10] Ukrainian military officials confirmed additional Ukrainian strikes against Russian command posts and ammunition depots in Southern Ukraine. The Ukrainian Southern Operational Command reported hitting the command post of the Russian 126th Guards Coastal Defense Brigade in Novokamyanka and an ammunition depot in Barvinok, 62km east and 20km northwest of Kherson City, respectively.[33] Ukrainian forces also reportedly damaged a command and observation post of a battalion tactical group of the 76th Airborne Assault Division in Ischenka (just east of the Ukrainian bridgehead over Inhulets River) and destroyed a command post of the 49th Combined Arms Army (CAA) near Chervonyi Mayak (about 30km northeast of Nova Kakhovka).[34] ISW has previously reported that Ukrainian forces reportedly struck a command post of the 49th CAA in Chornobaivka (about 5km northwest of Kherson City) on August 6, which could suggest that Russian forces either split or moved their command posts from Kherson City.[35] Both strikes suggest that Russian forces are maintaining or relocating their positions within the range of US-provided HIMARS systems. Ukrainian forces inflicted significant losses on Russian officers and senior personnel in Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Sumy Oblasts situated in command posts near the frontline even before receiving HIMARS systems in part because Russian commanders moved close to the front lines to control their troops. Russian forces are apparently continuing to endanger their command posts, likely to be ready to control their forces in anticipation of a possible Ukrainian counteroffensive. It is unclear when or if Ukrainian forces will launch a large-scale ground counteroffensive in southern Ukraine, but they are effectively using Russian preparations for such a counteroffensive to attrit Russian leadership and logistics capabilities. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LurkerII: Dan Quayle could not even spell potato, Carlin was right on! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYNGCNtDb-wQuayle simply failed to recognize that while "potatoes" is the correct plural, the correct singular, at least in modern usage, is "potato" and not "potatoe". No worse than the average arfer's misuse of the possessive plural, your/you're, etc. Some of arfers' attempts to spell phonetically words which they may use in conversation but don't often see written down are far worse. The left just tries to make a mountain out of any misstep by a conservative, as they were wont to do, even that long ago. |
