France to transfer AASM Hammer to Ukraine: All about high ... - MSN

Today The declared range of the AASM Hammer is about 70 km, but it also depends on the altitude. It is noted that when dropped from a low altitude, the range ranges from 20 to 100 km. What...
Officially 70km max but likely understated. Unlike JDAM-ER these are powered by a small solid rocket motor I think.

Thanks guys. Range isn't awesome, but precision is. I wonder if they will be retrofitted to the F-16 entering service soon™.

another video of the engagement, this one is very nice because it is not sped up or clipped, and shows just how much fire the 2nd Bradley puts into the t90m.

It also shows the t90m firing at the 1st Bradley, and missing. It makes it much more clear this is part of a much larger battle. That other enemy forces in the area are being engaged / suppressed.

I get the impression Ukraine is trying to conserve their TOW supply. Shitty day for that T90 crew though, a prolonged close range 25mm shower can't be fun. Kiss everything on the outside goodbye and a couple rounds are going to make it in somewhere probably. Imagine the shitting involved being downrange from all that, going blind and no turret control.

I don't think any Russian infantry being in that village would have helped. They'd let the tank catch all that, take a hard pass on drawing attention to themselves so Mr. Bushmaster can conduct the Pink Mist Challenge.

Sergei Medvedev, a Russian politician fled the country to neighboring Georgia after calling Putin a Monster on Russia's version of Facebook called Vkontakte. On December 31, Medvedev said: “Russia, wake up! They’re killing you! It’s horrible to realize that the monster who’s behind this is running for election again.”

He added: “I want the war to end! I want to see Russia free from Putin’s shackles.”

The post resulted in his expulsion from the Communist party last week after the Perm city council and law enforcement agencies requested that the party “give a legal assessment” of Medvedev’s social media posts criticizing the war.

From exile, Medvedev told POLITICO: “I just couldn’t bear it anymore. It’s impossible to ignore what’s happening. People are smiling, politicians are offering good wishes. But what’s the point? The country is in decline, yet there are celebrations everywhere.”

He added: “The whole world looks at us as if we’re insane. We’re becoming a pariah nation. Every sane person understands this.”

Medvedev said he believed many people in Russia feel the same way, but have been silenced by fear. “It’s like in Nazi Germany. How could one speak out against Hitler there?”

analyst George Barros from the Institute for the Study of War on UKR and potential winter offensives, the supply issues, the A-50 loss, and moves on belarus and the baltics.
the timeline on talk of "protection of rus/soviet leaning people" to annex/invasion is seemingly a bit under 10 years. but lukashenko should probably think about running away and finding a hiding place with only single story buildings.

Impressive yet kind of bleak assessment of the future with a coalition of dictatorships coordinating against democracies on multiple fronts mentioned in the final few minutes as well. I'm glad I never have to carry the weight of this analyst's knowledge around in my head every day, but I'm glad there are people who do. The future could definitely be very dark if China decides to just say "screw it - we're facing decades of demographic collapse anyway" and join in the various fracas happening or even start something new. I hope the wheels fall off the Russian economy enough for their own people to realize where they are headed sooner rather than later.

Why bother - certainly given his health and age Lukashenko will be dead in 10 years if not a lot sooner.

The thing that kills me is the T90 returning fire and hitting a house...a house! Maybe the optics were already blown, but the crew was firing in the correct general direction.

I can attribute some of that clown show that T90 put on as one of the crew hitting the panic button and the rest getting infected by it the moment they started getting slapped around. Being blinded and not knowing where the incoming rounds are coming from is frightening in and of itself. Getting hot lava bouncing around inside on top of being blinded makes for one really exciting thrill ride I would never raise a hand for. Bailing out once their ride got tree'd was the only smart thing they did that day.

I believe most of their experienced tank crews are dead.

this is really cool.

It looks to me like the Ukrainians had a mission on those ammo storage depots--which they seem to be, no? bradley's went into scout on intel/do damage if needed, stumbled on the T90, but got the original job done and then some!

Those direct hits on the stationary boom boom, whey that first one was so persistent on moving towards that T-90 position, which was also near the first target, then his tag-team partner to swap in and come in on the 2nd depot, no?

T90 engagement was like, well, practice that they've been waiting for?

Think these were some of those Swedish or Dane-trained tank crews, or whatever one of those mid-'22 Scando-trained units were some of the first to be sent out by uh you know, people that know NATO stuff?
