Video, big chunk of the building is missing.
Possible first use of #StormShadow 🚀 in Ukraine🇺🇦. In the city #Luhansk a facility allegedly used by Russia🇷🇺 as a repair base may have been hit. The target is out of range of HIMARS-GMLRS

I think a lot of experts who know the F16 look at the Russian published (over hyped by 87X) max capabilities of Russian ADA and conclude...."F16 would be doomed". Like the experts who said Kiew would be taken in a week and it is completely hopeless for Ukraine against Russia. Anyway, it's all cover for the political reasons for not sending the f16, ATACMS etc. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By iggy1337: 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  holy fuck, background top left, it's a playground. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Charging_Handle: Look at the respect they showed that man. Most of the people there probably hardly knew him, yet the town gave him the same funeral they would give to their own sons. Ukraine is very worthy of our support. If the South Vietnamese, Afghans and Iraqis had fought half as hard as Ukrainians have, perhaps their stories would be drastically different today. The South Vietnamese goverment was so corrupt that no one but the rich wanted to support them. Iraq, well that story isn't fully done yet, but you may be right. Afghanistan however, nail hit on the head. The problem is, many of the people who don't like the Talban, the ones that are male, are ok with getting to treat women like shit and children like cum buckets. The women, well they have no say historically anyway and are unlikely to pickup a AK and do what needs to be done. |

Just because we have the best doesn't mean we aren't working on keeping it that way. Also, forgotten shock and awe over Iraq in 91 detail, we launched thousands of decoy drones to help overwhelm their air defenses, it worked well. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Blue_Devil_JD: Jesus, that city might be encircled in days by Ukraine. Amazing how fast this is all happening now. Well, if you think about it how did the Russians think they could assault a city for 10 months and lose a bunch of men and material/ammo each and every day and continue to think they are winning? Yes they have a LOT of men and a LOT of material and they HAD a lot of ammo. But their strategic economy is not ramped up to produce and replace what they have lost, nor really is their mobilization. Not to mention about of million of the smarter men said "adios" dear mother Russia and left for parts unknown. It is kind of like playing a game of Risk (by Parker Brothers) where you build up on the border to something you want to take and you make the big push. You hope the enemy does not have enough recourses (or luck in the game) to hold out against your onslaught. BUT if your onslaught fails, and they come back in your direction, well you have screwed the pooch, because you won't be able to stop them. I think we might be seeing an actual "pooch screw". |

Let's se what our disbarred Russia shill thinks about Storm Shadow delivery.
Whining complaing UK same sex couple - UK tricked by US to provide them. - Only going to prolong the conflict. - Sneaky America. - British are crazy to provide missiles. - No worries Russia wil shoot them down becuase they track everything. - Heck Russia wil shoot down the jets BEFORE they launch their Storm Shadows - Puny subsonic virgin missile compared to ATACMS chad missile. - Storm Shadow is not a sophisticated system. - Russian AD wil deal with them but a couple might get through  - Russia a furious though. Just anoying the Russians - OMG depleted uranium shells. - Just causing more death in Ukraine. - Provocations from the collective west. Reckless WWIII - Russia might just shoot down NATO aircraft. - Brittain is the enemy of Russia. - The UK wil face political fallout when Ukraine is defeated. Hubris of the west - But what about muh Syria? OMG depleted uranium. - Russia can strike at the UK in many different ways. - Russian people demand revenge. - Russia showing to much restraint in Ukraine. |
