Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: Eh, getting “ready to produce them” is probably a lot more notional than not. They won’t get many if any into production in the time scale of Round One, say the next 2-3 years. I’d agree that they probably do intend to do it and that it indicates that there will be a worse Round Two. On the other hand, a bunch of Mig-35 targets should make for quite a few F-35 aces. That was my thought. When I worked in a corporate glass office building, I would sometimes say: "They are fixing to get ready to have a meeting to discuss how to prepare for the planning step." |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: An interesting observation about the specifics of the Javelin by the RF tank crews. This phenomenon applies only to T-80 tanks. The missiles hit 2 main points - the heated gun barrel and the exhaust manifold grill, which in tanks with gass turbine is also very hot. As a result, the tanks were damaged, but in most cases were not destroyed (penetration of up to 300 mm after hiting with the barrel). The T-72 (T-90) series do not have this feature - they get more serious damage or are destroyed. On photos, the missile coming from above, it is quite obvious that it is a "Javelin". https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GHgrJO9WMAEt4qV?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GHgrJOwWgAAin3a?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GHgrJOxXUAEKDsJ?format=jpg&name=medium

These get progressively more hilarious.
As the Cheka-OGPU found out, in accordance with the decision of the Basmanny District Court of Moscow, the arrest of the deputy head of Roscosmos Oleg Frolov was extended until May 19, 2024. He is accused of large-scale theft. Based on the indirect evidence given in the court ruling, it can be understood that this is a project for the creation (construction) of the “Barocomplex”. This project was created at PJSC Elektromekhanika (Rzhev, Tver region) and upon completion in February 2020 was sent to Krasnoyarsk, apparently to the JSC Krasmash plant, where Sarmat missiles are also produced. Deputy General Director of Roscosmos State Corporation Frolov was responsible for the implementation of the weapons program, including the creation of Sarmat. And now it’s clear that something went wrong in the creation of “Sarmat”..... One is confident that it’s not a matter of stolen money (during the creation of building No. 13 at the VNIIEM JSC enterprise), but a matter of responsibility for the implementation (fulfillment) of its main functions by Frolov. https://t.me/vchkogpu/46190 Vladimir Putin in his message clarifies that the Sarmat missile system is being supplied to the troops, which is supposed to replace the Soviet nuclear shield “Voevoda”; it was produced in Dnepropetrovsk (Dnepr) or, as it is often called, “Satan”. So, sources of the Cheka-OGPU say that today the Krasnoyarsk Machine-Building Plant is experiencing a serious shortage of electronic components (electronic component base) for the production of strategic missiles. The electronics of the new RS 28 (Sarmat) missile system are largely of foreign origin and, due to sanctions, are experiencing a serious shortage. Now all efforts are being made to somehow correct the situation with the supply of sanctioned electronics, they are even sacrificing the production of S 400 air defense systems in Siberia, all for Sarmat. Also, many problems have not been solved; there have been a small number of successful test launches. Putting on combat duty in the fall of 23 is still a credit of trust; the missiles can be counted on one hand and it is unknown how they will behave during launches. https://t.me/vchkogpu/46190 The Pantsir S1 anti-aircraft missile system that had an accident in Sochi was supposed to be on combat duty before the arrival of Russian President Putin at his Bocharov Ruchey residence. On March 2, a youth festival will start in Sochi, which will be held in Sirius, huge financial and information resources have been pulled together, Putin will have to attend a youth rally and speak to the guests. Now the President's Security Council faces a dilemma: what to do? These complexes are about to be recalculated; such an accident will put them out of action for a long time, but replacement will probably have to be done elsewhere and expose the protection of the sky. Such an accident of the Pantsir, according to sources of the Cheka-OGPU, is a typical and constant problem. Initially, the air defense system created in the USSR was supposed to be on the MAZ chassis, but due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, they could not find an alternative and installed it on the KamAZ, which was not designed for the given dimensions and weight, and this is the problem. https://t.me/vchkogpu/46194 |

Ukraine on target to surpass one million FPV drone production goal, fueling wartime GDP growth
Ukraine appears to be ahead of its stated 2024 objective of producing a million drones for battling Russia’s invasion, with government officials saying 200,000 of those first-person view (FPV) UAVs have already been manufactured by the nation’s proliferating aerial tech companies. Anna Hvozdiar, deputy minister for strategic industries, told Forbes’ Ukrainian language edition Thursday that the country’s specialized drone and wider defense sector companies had already produced about 200,000 FPV UAVs before the close of February. That puts Ukraine on pace to surpass the 2024 objective of providing a million of the craft to the nation’s fighters by 20%. That augmented cadence is significant for a few reasons. First, it reflects activity rising to match what Ukraine minister for strategic industries Oleksandr Kamyshin said in a December social media post was Ukraine’s objective to “produce a million drones next year.” The target was specifically for FPV craft, which have proven particularly potent since Ukraine began re-adapting the hobby UAVs for strike purposes in late 2022. Indeed, Hvozdiar said the two-month 2024 production of 200,000 craft represented the largest component of what Ukraine expects to be over two million drones of various kinds turned out this year. According to Ukraine publication Militarny, photos and videos of the new drones indicate they’re outfitted with sensors enabling night as well as day activity, including operation in hostile weather conditions. The FPV UAVs are also reportedly capable of flying from 40 to 50 km while carrying a four kg warhead. It’s believed they may be used in longer distance deployment of swarms, relying on a repeater communication craft that act like a “queen bee” serving as the eyes and relay station for remote pilots to stage attacks. But the rising drone production rates is also significant for a broader reason. Despite what is now the two-year invasion by Russia that has ravaged a large swath of the nation, Ukraine has managed to keep its economy moving despite the destruction of war. Drone activity has been central to that. Contrary to what might be expected amid the fighting, Ukraine said its GDP expanded by 5.3% during the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period the previous year, and expects growth of about 5% this year. That’s only about two-thirds of what it was in constant terms prior to the invasion, but still quite a feat for a country fighting relentless attacks to preserve its very existence. A large part of that growth has arisen from government policies to adjust the economy to provide for the nation’s defense efforts, and directing foreign aid toward that rather than simply relying on it as plug-and-play material assistance. In doing so, leaders in Kyiv have relaxed formerly strict tax, import, and business creation rules to make activity easier to initiate and build. They’ve also launched special areas where newly-formed companies can work in proximity to create mutually beneficial ecosystems and economies of scale. One result of that, officials have said, is that Ukraine has gone from having had essentially no domestic drone production capacity when the invasion began, to boasting over 200 companies now churning out a wide range of UAVs for the war effort. On the other hand, however, that drone and wider economic growth are dependent on continuing inflows of support from abroad – a resource that has slowed to a trickle as US assistance remains blocked by what’s increasingly looking like a de facto civil war across the nation’s political divide. https://dronedj.com/2024/02/29/ukraine-on-target-to-surpass-one-million-fpv-drone-production-goal-fueling-wartime-gdp-growth/

The drones were aimed at Dzerzhinsk, where a large military plant is located On the night of March 1, three unmanned aerial vehicles of the aircraft type tried to attack the territory of the industrial zone of Dzerzhinsk (Nizhny Novgorod region), but were suppressed by electronic warfare. This was announced by the head of the city Ivan Noskov. "There are no casualties or destruction, emergency services are working on the spot. Industrial facilities are operating normally," he wrote. The publication "Live in Nizhny" says that the residents of Dzerzhinsk were woken up by two explosions: at 1:54 and at 1:55. According to Baza, UAVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to attack the Sverdlov plant in Dzerzhinsk. This is a city-forming enterprise that is part of the Russian military-industrial complex. Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported on the suppression of terrorist attacks using aircraft-type UAVs: one drone was destroyed in the Belgorod region, three more were intercepted in the Nizhny Novgorod region. In the evening, at about 10 p.m., the UAV was destroyed in the Kursk region. In the morning, Kursk Governor Roman Starovoit said that as a result of the arrival of a drone from Ukraine, the power supply was disrupted in the settlements of Sverdlikovo, Dar'ino and Nikolaevo-Dar'ino in the Sudzhansky district. While there is no electricity, repairs will begin as soon as the situation allows. https://www.fontanka.ru/2024/03/01/73285655/ |

FighterBomber’s opinion on A-50s.
Rostec intends to restore the previous production of A-50 long-range radar detection and control aircraft (AWACS), since the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have a need for it. This was stated by the head of the state corporation Sergei Chemezov, writes TASS. After two tragedies in a row, the fleet of combat-ready A-50s in the Aerospace Forces was greatly reduced. This is to put it mildly. Whatever one may say, the blame for the loss of the A-50 only indirectly lies with the Ukrainians, because as I have written many times, the RLDNiU aircraft is an extremely important and extremely complex and very fat target. This is not just a flying locator. This is a flying command post that sees and knows everything itself. But of course, with its proper use. If you put it over Kiev so that they can see how the Poles are doing there, or suddenly shoot it down with your fighters, or the air defense that is supposed to protect it, then of course it will not live long. Even if its detection range characteristics suddenly/suddenly/completely unexpectedly turn out to be insufficient and greatly overestimated, this is still not a reason to place it within the range of enemy air defense systems. Even if you have not about zero such planes and crews, but a hundred. Therefore, it is clear that at an emergency pace we will now restore the entire iron series of the A-50, and accelerate the adoption of the A-100. And of course, make new A-50s, most likely from the existing Il-76 fleet to begin with. Moreover, all these new machines are meaningless if they are also easily and naturally lost as a result of mistakes, miscalculations, incompetence and underestimations. I’m almost sure that the crests have long been using missiles with a passive guidance system, which fly at the radiation source and do not need target illumination either from the ground or from the air, and it is not necessarily aimed at the sights and locators of airplanes and helicopters. They can be aimed at a jamming station, a radio altimeter, DISS, radio communications, or all of this at the same time with a bonus in the form of active guidance at the final stage of missile guidance, when the missile itself searches for the target using its own means. And this is already far beyond 160 km. When planning work, we must start from the worst options for us and everything will definitely work out for us. https://t.me/fighter_bomber/15859 |

Tetyana Moskalkova, Commissioner for Human Rights of the Russian Federation, said that Moscow is ready to hand over the bodies of Ukrainian prisoners who allegedly died when an Il-76 plane crashed near Bilhorod, Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets reports.
"Regarding the bodies, I immediately informed that we have confirmation and all the DNA, which, according to the conclusion of the examination, makes it possible to identify the person," she added. Dmytro Lubinets, in his turn, stated that Russia still has not handed over the official lists, has not confirmed the fact of the deaths of the prisoners, and has not allowed international organizations to the crash site of the IL-76.

Those sensors can also tell if the vehicle has already been hit and if it is on fire, it goes for another target. |

Nope. ⚡️There was definitely an arrival at the base in Gvardeyskoye, but there is no light in the village, our subscribers report https://t.me/Crimeanwind/54802 🔥The Crimean Wind monitoring group noted a fire south of the runway of Simferopol airport Coordinates: 44.998, 33.992 Time - about 16.00 https://t.me/Crimeanwind/54804 So that’s north AND south of Simferopol. |

If you keep poking out very expensive long range radar systems, you are going to eventually run out of radars and technicians that know how to use them.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By weptek911: I’m convinced they don’t want Russia defeated. The snotty drive by SMEs we’ve had in this thread alluded to being afraid of “second and third order effects” if their pet Russians are humiliated.what the administration wants is “balance” same goes for Israel vs Iran and militant Islam. No clear winner or loser just a balance of forces no matter how much carnage entails. I feel this is accurate. But also add some cowardice, arrogance, and lots of confused handwringing... |

Those F-16's can't get there soon enough. These guys are forced to use nothing but old semi active radar homing missiles equivalent to our AIM-7 from Vietnam, and short range IR missiles.
F-16's with AIM-120's, even older export C models will be a huge leap for air to air.
