What cranks me though is that it'll be all but impossible for the UN to act in any way when the target has Veto power. That has to change, but even if it does, China still would.
Get some, get some GET SOME!I think those M code upgrades may have happened. Was watching a Denis Davydod video about the surge of strikes happening in Crimea last night. Locations, results, and then he froze an image right before impact...

SDB ahoy!
Get some!
They would collapse long before 100 years of war.I think we know one thing by now.. Putin and Russia won't give up in Ukraine. They're up for a 100 year war.
The only question is.. are we?
They really need to find a good fix for the glide bomb problem. How far from the front line is Russia launching those bombs ?
Russia doesn't have 100 years. They are suffering a demographic implosion as it is - add the deaths of many young men from the war to that equation and it's going to be worse.I think we know one thing by now.. Putin and Russia won't give up in Ukraine. They're up for a 100 year war.

And when Russia is just lobbing them at cities, 200m off doesn't matter either.Not sure, but they have a range of about 70km.
Patriot can smack them down before the drop, if the timing is right. AFU needs to hit the airbases though. ATACMS, SF teams with MANPADS, drones, whatever. Maybe we'll even see F-16s doing low level strikes and intercepts someday. Better jamming might help them be less accurate, but they need to be a lot less accurate when you're talking the big ones. Being off by 20m won't cut it, needs to be more like 200m, or better.
60-80km from a vague recollection. I could be wrong in either direction.They really need to find a good fix for the glide bomb problem. How far from the front line is Russia launching those bombs ?
I am reaaaly curious if Ukraine stockpiled a lot of these drones or they are producing them at this rate... If the latter, Crimeea has fallen already, it's just a time problem...
If KSP has taught me anything, it's that your target for 'object with thrust' can be pretty arbitrary given sufficient delta-v and some maneuvering fins.Land attack missiles doing the BSF dirty instead of ASMs was not originally on my bingo card for this war but hey.
It seems Russia may have earned another submarine, courtesy of ATACMS.

I think they'd have better strategic targets than what's left of the black sea fleet, but I'll take it.
You can be sure the Pentagon is paying attention to all of the lessons of this war.The Ukraine Russian war has really opened up my eye to what drones can do. It's really changed my outlook on modern warfare. A small country armed with enough drones can do a heavy number on a larger army.

Yawn . same shit different day .Zeihan has made this assessment multiple times now that either way, either this war extends into a NATO country or into Russia proper - at which point a nuke is going to fly.
Inevitable that a nuke is going to fly.
How does that not turn into MAD? Sounds like a doomsday prophecy to me.
