Time to sanction Kazakhstan for sending armor to Russia for use in the invasion of Ukraine. The excuse is even better than the evidence:
"Kazakhstan Ministry of Defense responded with a nonsensical claim that this military equipment belongs to a "3rd country" and that it's going to Russia for "planned repairs." Such an absurd explanation only lends more credence to the allegation."
To avoid satellite detection - are these people stupid?? The combination of spy satellite coverage, sigint and humint between the US and its allies is astronomical. Most people don't know that our optical spy satellites are are basically the size of the Hubble Space Telescope - but pointed at the earth. The NSA employs large HPC clusters to correct for atmospheric degradation and use image recognition to track a large list of targets of interest and use shots from multiple angles to make synthesized 3D images. We even had at least one binocular spy telescope to create 3D images directly (it was decommissioned and offered to NASA).Time to sanction Kazakhstan for sending armor to Russia for use in the invasion of Ukraine.

That was an important optics manufacturing plant (producing sights, thermal imagers, laser rangefinders, and other similar products) that was apparently attached to an artillery shell plant as well...there's a lot of damage reported and the reports show a lot of shell fragments on the ground
Finally a use for vertical filming.
Hey, I stuck with conventional explosives.Pshhhhhh THAT AINT NUTHIN:
The Russians used that photo as their attack on Odessa port in Ukraine.That ain't nothing:

Then try Diagra! One big boom and all your troubles will be history.Do you suffer from fissile dysfunction?
It would be good if both of these things happen soon. Even limited quantities of ATACMS would give Ukraine new strike opportunities for targets that decay quickly (like the missile battery firing Onyx from Crimea). Taurus would bolster Ukraine's low observable cruise missile arsenal and the warhead might be better for an attack on certain structures.
They need a deeper magazine though so we should also send SLAM-ER.
The prohibitions against use of these weapons on Russian territory should also be withdrawn, at a bare minimum for the oblasts bordering Ukraine.
Nothing a little Li7 couldn't fix. Pretty sure I'd get a Bravo from the Mrs after thatDo you suffer from fissile dysfunction?
Moscow is out of range even if the Ukrainians wanted to defy us (they don't). Just give them the missiles Joe. A couple dozen ATACMS at the beginning of the counter offensive would have probably meant a couple thousand Ukrainians not getting killed. These aren't Russians who don't care about their own people damn it.
At the very least enough with getting impatient over Ukrainian timetables. Give them everything they ask for and then kvetch when they don't meet expectations. Complaining about the work of someone you deprive of tools is just shameful in my opinion. This US taxpayer says take all the time you need Ukraine. My assistance gives me no right to judge how time effective your fight for survival is. Please ignore any Westerner who feels otherwise, and with my apologies.
