LOL. Move to Russia to avoid the globohome, then identify as a woman to avoid getting drafted. Get drafted anyway and raped regularly in your two weeks of basic... Speaking of, has anyone seen that poster who drank Putin’s cool-aid and moved to Russia? He hasn’t posted since, what, last summer? Is he scared to take his medicine or did he get mobilized? |

I give it about 15% he made it out of Russia and is too embarrassed to log back in and admit the place sucks. 80% he died a violent death in Ukraine. Maybe 5% he’s gone silent but still in Russia dodging mobilization papers like a Bolshevik heisman Dang, that was post 6500 |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Charging_Handle: I'm not sure in what context they were speaking, but I can assure you the F-16 would be vastly superior to the MiG-29 in either A2A or A2G roles against the Russians. The best A2A missile Ukraine's MiG-29 has is about the equivalent of the shitty 1980s era AIM-7 Sparrow. It is a semi-active radar missile. Not only is it outranged by the more modern active (fire and forget) R77, but being a semi-active radar missile, the firing aircraft must keep its nose pointed toward the target until missile impact. By the time that happens, you are in IR missile range if the R77 hasn't hit you in the face already. The F-16 with the AIM-120 would put Ukraine on another level in terms of BVR capability and allow them to be much more competitive against Russian aircraft and their missiles. Attacking ground targets is much the same story. The F-16 is capable of employing most of the precision guided standoff weaponry currently in the inventory. They can use these weapons to target the Russians with far more accuracy from 60 miles away than they can accomplish with a MiG-29 and its unguided bombs and rockets can accomplish from within visual range. Yeah, if you had to overfly a damn target in order to attack it, then yeah, the F-16 would be about as vulnerable as the MiG-29. But it doesn't have to play that game because it actually has decent weapons.

"Venable said that when he was flying F-16s over Europe earlier in his career as a pilot, his aircraft had solid jamming pods that worked against threats posed by the SA-6 and SA-11 Soviet-era SAM systems. He said that he would have felt comfortable going up against the integrated Soviet air defenses in the 1980s and 1990s knowing he was backed by HARM targeting" systems designed to take those on." "The threat would've been high. There would've been a good possibility that I would've been shot down, but also at least an equal possibility that I could have made it to the target, hit my target, and then I drop successfully and then egress safely from the battlefield," Venable said. But there's since been a "whole leap in capabilities" from those to the current Russian SAM systems that have evolved over time. "I had a fighting chance back then," he said. "Today, there is no fighting chance." |

"Today, there is no fighting chance." Yes the F-16 is a vastly superior plane when compared to the MiG-29 especially in terms of avionics, weapons, radar, etc. but regardless of what 4th gen plane is being flown by Ukraine they would still have to contend with the SAM rings of S400 systems which make flying at medium to high altitudes impossible to safely operate in for long so they'll continue to forced to operate at low altitudes. This limitation will impact the lawn darts already short range radar and aerodynamically limit the max-range of the AMRAAM missile making its BVR capability almost a moot point from a range perspective but at least finally gives Ukraine a fire-and-forget capability. But the F-16 is more badly needed for ATG missions and if they can pair them with the HTS pod they can take full advantage of the HARM's various SAM killing modes although they'll still be likely unable to bop the S400s.  Regardless, all this talk of newer jets for Ukraine is a moot point as this administration has zero appetite to provide them and unfortunately for Ukraine is becoming a post-war project.. |

Putin's Missile War Russia's Strike Campaign in Ukraine Russia's missile campaign against Ukraine has severely underperformed expectations. In the invasion's early days, Russia underestimated the necessary scale and effort of its missile campaign. Since then, Russia has changed course multiple times, most recently moving to target Ukrainian electrical grid and civilian infrastructure during the winter months. Russia's haphazard missile campaign reflects both internal strategic failures and Ukraine's critical forward thinking in the days prior to the invasion. Early Russian failures also gave time for Ukraine to develop its air defense strategy and capabilities which have only grown in effectiveness, thanks in large part to Western aid. This report provides an in-depth review of these and related "missile war" dynamics. |

In addition, I think Russia targeting civilian infrastructure and population centers reveals a profound brokenness in Russian military strategy. They don’t see themselves fighting the Ukraine army, they see themselves eliminating Ukrainians. This is why Russia will lose. They use their best long range weapons against civilians which reinforces the Ukraine will to fight and does little to weaken the UA. Meanwhile UA is laser focused on destroying Russia’s means to fight. Ukraine will win. The tide has turned and now time favors Ukraine. |

I think it also has to do with a discrepancy between what Russia thinks their weapons are capable of and reality. Interwebs is filled with missles striking random patches of dirt, missing buildings and landing in the middle of the street ect. From what we have been able to observe there is no way Russia has the ability to target individual apartments so in the very best case for them they can just lob shit at apartment buildings and hope for the best. It really is insecure cosplaying the American millitarty without any of the capacities or skils. I am of the firm opinion that the West should have no issues providing the same weapons Russia uses. I.e. Russia uses jets, West is clear to hand over jets. Russia uses cruise missiles, here's a Storm Shadow for UA. Fuck yo patch of grass in particular with my multi million $ pos

"The assault group of the K-2 battalion attacked the Cyclops position, which was occupied by the enemy. When their grenades ran out, the group had to withdraw to replenish their ammo (in part 3) In less than an hour, the assault on the position continued. But the Russian occupiers are sitting in a deep bunker, from where they are conducting heavy fire. Ukrainian soldiers must knock the enemy out of this shelter to take the position under their control." 13 min video. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Charging_Handle: I see the suggestions she is receiving are very direct and to the point. The suggestions are also very valid. Most are telling her to tell her husband and his friends to surrender to the Ukrainians and stop being useful idiots for Putin, that the Ukrainians will treat Russian POW's far better than the Russian government has treated them. Savage perhaps, but very true. Yup. There is a very tragic element from the Russian side also. Many Russians ARE savage orc assholes and deserve the worst but many are not and were duped patriots or forced to fight or go to prison. A government to put their own people into such terrible conditions untrained, un-equipped to die for nothing but the ego of the leaders. I hope one day the Russian people realize that their own government is more dangerous, ruthless, and abusive than whatever enemy they are afraid of. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AZ_Mike: If 290km is accurate they are going to have to take some territory in Zaporizhzhia to get the bridge in range. Sevastopol is in range now. The British have some with 350km range. It is unclear what version Ukraine is getting. It is really offensive that Biden won't give a even a small number of ATACMS to Ukraine. We have one 4000 and just piut in an order for 1700. They have proven thay they understand how to use and protect HIMARS very well. Besides, the US will start receiving the ATACMS replacement PrSM later this vear. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AZ_Mike: Originally Posted By fadedsun: Well, that makes two of us. Is the Kerch bridge within the storm shadow range? If 290km is accurate they are going to have to take some territory in Zaporizhzhia to get the bridge in range. Sevastopol is in range now. The British have some with 350km range. It is unclear what version Ukraine is getting. It is really offensive that Biden won't give a even a small number of ATACMS to Ukraine.

Besides, the US will start receiving the ATACMS replacement PrSM later this vear. The Storm Shadow can be air launched, so if the Ukrainians can get aircraft out over the black sea in a roundabout way to launch them I think they could easily hit the bridge with Storm Shadow. Another theory I have is the system could be used as a long range anti ship missile. It would jettison it's cover while flying low over the sea and use the IR sensor to track and guide itself to the enemy ship passively. Either way, I am eagerly awaiting a battle damage assessment on whatever they hit.

But the Russian occupiers are sitting in a deep bunker, from where they are conducting heavy fire. Ukrainian soldiers must knock the enemy out of this shelter to take the position under their control." 13 min video. New footage starts around the 3 min mark. @ 6:55 a UA troop bounces a LAW/RPG off the top of the berm trying to get the bunker.  Битва за Циклопа. 4 СЕРІЯ. Захоплення позиції. Бат К2.
