3-400 meters is still kinda close for those, the max range is 2212m. The grenades have a 5m kill radius and IIRC a 15m wound radius. The guy in the video isn't using his T&E so he's letting them spread out. ETA: They're also elevated higher than the rear sight maxes at (1500m) so they're probably pushing it close to the max range or really going for plunging fire.

I'm thinking they removed it hoping that building wasn't targeted.

Everything I have read so far points to the Russian's fighting a guerilla urban war in Kherson. Soldiers wearing civilian clothes and living in civilian apartments makes me believe they want to slow the Ukrainian armed forces to a crawl.

Ukraine should destroy gas, electric and water supplies to the city now. Winter is coming....

In any event, it took more than just money to persuade the Iranians to give this much assistance to Russia at this time.

  They are such assholes, Ukraine has never done a thing to Iran, even after Iran shot down their passenger plane full of Iranians and Canadians after Solemani got smoked.


Iran is in it to gain something from Russia ..hopefully history will show they chose poorly

But something is in it for the Iranians besides money

My buddies wife is working for a merry maid type of company in budapest with other Ukranian refugee ladies when she told me that they encountered airBnB flats being rented by orcs escaping the war

She can see that they are trying their best to get funds from Sber bank and other Russian banks in Hungary and also living pretty frugally.

She knows that in one of the better flats is Russian Dumas son and daughter and this guys all pro nuke Ukraine.

I told her to report it to the UA embassy and let their intelligence people know.

She is amazed that they think and say out aloud about Hungarians while they are in the flats cleaning it.




They are not our friends........ I told my Kepviselo multiple times about Orcs in Hungary and her office keeps brushing me off.

I've reported this to TEK, Hungary's counter intelligence unit and anti terrorist unit.

I will see what happens.

Israel will only care about Ukraine when it effects them.

on a logical side, them wasting drones in the Ukraine is logically sound because they aren't using it against Israel is my best guest.

What is the goal in helping Ukraine for Israel? What do they get out of it?

Don't get me wrong, I want Israel to help Ukraine but I am only seeing them only doing things if it effects their own security and so far, the Persian perversions staying busy in Ukraine with their stuff means Israel is not on their sights.

Maybe not directly….but “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” applies here. No brainer.

If Russia is assisting Iran’s nuclear ambitions then your going to have to do something about it. Possibly to Iran first and then Russia…..whether Israeli “wants” to or not.

hmmm..

Israel Shin Bet and Mossad knew about Hezbollah was gonna take out the Marine Barracks and the French paratrooper, they got intelligence on it and they didn't give the warning to the US or France.

It would be nice if Israel can do more but ever since the USS Liberty and other wacko stuff, they only care about their own interest and nothing else.

No. If anyone follows the actual history of Israel/USA defense measures, they will understand that the USA does the heavy lifting when times get hard, Israel does surgical strikes when needed.

They are our unsinkable aircraft carrier in the middle East. Reducing their stockpiles of conventional weapons is not needed, or even wanted, now.

I, generally, am curious how much of a conversation I can have with him (Who's an Australian national) with regards to weapons and blowing stuff up? I can't get in trouble with ITAR or similar for giving him ideas on how to blow people up, can I?

They have never been called to the carpet and punished anywhere close to the level of their disrepute. Selective assassinations of chief military and nuclear personnel isn't anywhere close to dealing with them as a nation.

If they continue on the course of becoming a nuclear power, I suspect they will be set on fire and turned to rubble. Lately their citizens seem to be finally fed up with medieval religious practices, they naturally return to the human fold without any outside intervention. I'm not holding my breath.

Will the Xiden Admin. support Israel if they decide to strike Iran? I think not. I bet "we" have warned Israel to play nice while we help Iran get nukes. For some reason the FBHO/Xiden gang are obsessed with helping Iran while hurting Israel.

Yes. I think (prior to this latest RU/IRCG merger) Israel has been playing it cool. They have intel deep in Iran and had a reliable timetable for when Iran could produce some nukes. But I'm sure Russia has totally throwed that out the window and contingency plans for "5 years from now" are being moved up drastically. I dont think Israel could so anything decisive without the full support of the USA, even with the help of the Saudi's etc.

I bet they are trying to hold on until the 2024 elections but may run out of time.

If you feel strongly about Hungary harboring Russians, you should notify the German BND. Or another nation in the EU that's relatively at odds with Hungary (there are quite a few, but Germany is notable).

Yea, you have to start looking at the various components of these systems to see if you want to invest in the subcontractors that make them.  Another alternative is FSDAX (Fidelity Select Defense and Aerospace) mutual fund that invests in multiple American defense industries.

Didn’t Hilary under Obama make a uranium deal with Russia and most of it was from their nuclear arsenal to use in our reactors for energy?? Wouldn’t it be great if that through their corruption, they sold off a huge amount but, still have it in their books as on hand, and what’s left wasn’t maintained.

"failure to maintain" doesn't mean "the nukes don't go boom" it means the yields are lowered from their design expectations. 1MT becomes 200KT, or maybe down to 100KT. The end state potentially turns a nuke warhead into a simple dirty bomb.

The only positive benefit "failure to maintain" buys the west is if their launch vehicles fail to launch, or self-destruct on the way to the target.

lol, me too,  I'm surprised how people can check weather and time lapse satellite imagery, then geo locate the exact field the artillery piece was in and look at how the field was maintained until one artillery piece got struck and the weather conditions at the time of the strike.
