you know what's fricking cringe?
Cringe is when you larp as a military hyperpower for thirty three years then fail to do fricking anything in the country you border for a year and a half
>Fired at apartment buildings and areas where they are known to be shot down
Well placed ATACMS fire could be a game changer. That can reach the Kerch bridge from Tomakivkha, hit airfields or ammo depots, or train tracks/bridges.
It expands the range of the Storm shadows. Even though both may say “200 km” - the airplanes launching the Storm shadows have to stay 50 Kms or something behind Ukrainian lines so they’re not sniped buy vatBlack person s300s.
Whereas HIMARs truck could simply drive right up to the front line and launch an ATACMs - using its entire 300km range
>intellets use their entire inventory on a single well defended city >this surely represents the peak of cruise & ballistic missile performance
Get the frick off of /k/ you fricking troony moron
>shoot expensive missiles at apartments, playgrounds, and dirt. >surprised it has little to no effect on the military.
Brain damage from alcohol abuse is a real thing.
>no less than... >so this means that no more than...
Do you suffer from brain damage? They will send as much as ukraine needs with this being the minimum
>So no more than 53 ATACMS
Incorrect, it means no less than 54.
It's a good start and will definitely frick some shit up. That's possibly enough to deny the bridge, if not it will certainly take out some MiGs on the ground and shit like that.
>it won't change anything >will only extend war >puccia already destroyed many dozen >no we not need to show proof >vehicle arrives to Ukraine
Like clockwork it goes.
the truck IS the HiMARS. >The M142 HIMARS (/ˈhaJmɑːrz/, M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) is a light multiple rocket launcher developed in the late 1990s for the United States Army and mounted on a standard United States Army Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) truck frame.

ATACMS can be launched with HIMARS. Fun fact: the ATACMS pod is concealed as a normal rocket pod so it can't be identified as a high-value target. picrel
>McDonalds gets attacked >McDonalds now authorized the use of McATACMS
I want to believe that the McDonalds board had an emergency meeting and told everyone to go to their shareholders and have them get their lobbyists on the job.
>for hohols to advance 10 cm >and kill thousands of ziggers in the process
And that's why Russia is losing the war. The goal isn't taking gorudn anymore. It's Total Zigger Death, and it's going damn well.
HIMARS is the truck launcher.
GMLRS is what you're thinking of. It's a 200lb warhead with ~70km range.
ATACMS has 300km range and a 500lb warhead.
The difference, besides range, is that a GMLRS is for sniping a HQ or infantry taking cover in a small building. ATACMS is more capable of demolishing buildings as the main mission.
I mean, HIMARS were a total game changer that completely made large scale offensives impossible for Russia. This will make even defending difficult because it will take days to transport supplies to the front
I mean, HIMARS were a total game changer that completely made large scale offensives impossible for Russia. This will make even defending difficult because it will take days to transport supplies to the front
tourist here, why are ATACMS such a deal compared to the missiles already used by HIMARS in Ukraine?
I saw the claim from the ukranians I believe it was that the GPS guidance is geofenced on gmlrs. Not sure if that was even possible or just a CYA thing, but interesting if true.
>The initial fear was that Ukraine may be tempted to use them on targets inside internationally recognized Russia territory
I doubt this was ever an issue.
After Storm Shadow they really aren't that big of a deal. They certainly don't hurt, but Ukraine already has the ability to target areas 200 km away by now
Depends on the amount of Storm Shadows they got, ATACMS expands their inventory, plus being fired from ground vehicles like the other anon said means there's other avenues for attack, particularly since aircraft are easier to detect (though less reaction time against an aircraft than a truck). Really though I think it's more of an excuse to fast forward the PrSM acquisitions in preparation for future conflicts, particularly since the INF treaty withdrawal means we don't have to sit around with "Only 499 km range we promise ;)" stickers on them anymore.
HIMARS trucks can theoretically get closer to targets than an aircraft can. Since Ukraine can't really do SEAD that extra little bit of range could be very useful.
You haven't even reached our main red line because you were crumbled in a pink buffer zone. The rulers are on the paper and the pencils are working. Stop your escalation efforts or we will sneeze on the drawing.
Probably because 99% of drawgays do porn for money, always amusing when artists have incredibly well done features in some places like womens faces or asses and then just do mediocre work on other stuff
>You DO realize that Russia can escalate too? She still has a nuclear option on the table. The West should not do things like that, the Russian Bear is patient, but he also may become fierce and vengeful.
If Russia uses a nuke, then China & India will be forced to choose between trade with Russia and 100% economic isolation from the West. Russia would be utterly isolated and lack any export market.
Lmao
Anon it's not about trade or anything. No nuclear power can risk another nuclear power using a nuke in a war of aggression.
The only reason Vietnam, Taiwan, South Korea, Armenia, Turkey or Saudi Arabia don't have nukes is because nobody would dare to use a nuke in an aggressive manner. The moment this taboo is broken all these countries must get nukes. It's either that or death.
And no nuclear power can accept that. Not China, not India, not the US. Their entire military power would evaporate and every tin pot dictator would sit on the bomb before the shockwave reaches the outskirts of Kyiv.
We will present the ass open as a gesture of good will and when the "mighty" pigg will enter, the ass will clench by force. Then they will know, the brow will rise.
The West isn't escalating the war in any meaningful sense of the term, they simply continue giving Ukraine equipment as they've done since the start of the war (after delays due to dissenting voices none the less).
If Ukraine invaded Crimea I would agree that it is a real escalation, because that gives Putin the opportunity to get Russians on board with his war, by showing videos of Ukrainian forces invading an area currently controlled by Russia.
>by showing videos of Ukrainian forces invading an area currently controlled by Russia
And what makes this different than any other liberation that Ukraine has done? By the way, the Russian immigrants will literally scatter like roaches far before Ukraine ever steps foot on Crimea.
Well, Putin can't really fearmonger to his citizens that Ukraine is "invading" territories which everyone knows to be Ukrainian. Crimea has been occupied for 9 years and he's been running his propaganda machine for all this time. It would be easier for him to say look, these soldiers are invading our borders and are surely headed to Moscow! And as the entire press is controlled by the Cremlin there won't be a counter-narrative.
>If Ukraine invaded Crimea I would agree that it is a real escalation, because that gives Putin the opportunity to get Russians on board with his war, by showing videos of Ukrainian forces invading an area currently controlled by Russia.
My guess is that the Belgorod shenanigans were a way of testing the waters. Obviously that technically wasn't Ukrainian forces, but Crimea technically isn't Russian territory so it evens out.
>escalate too.
There are 2 ways of escalation:
1) Escalation by introducing new kinds of warfare. All kinds of weapon systems that West provided to Ukraine were already present on the battlefield since 22 February.
2) Escalation by raising the intensity of the fight. After 1 year of western gibs only 2 fronts of 4 are still active.
Even providing Tomahawks with permission to hit Moscow won't be an escalation because Russia uses Kalibrs to hit /K/yiv.
This insane rambling is just so fricking unreadable. I've given up even trying to figure out what vatniks think they're saying with this idiotic word spew.
I get it. He's buttmad about something. Again. His anus is raised. Someone stuff a banan in it so monke can eat him out already.
>independent political scientists
I see that he was smoking the good kush
But honestly, what are the chances that Israel delivered tanks to both parties?
It’s political suicide, but I would not put it beneath them
>that in Moscow there are much more israelites in power than in the government of Ukraine and even more than in the government of Israel itself.
OH MY GAAAAAWWWWWD
"israeli" autonomous oblast has 90% of ethnic russian population and the number of israelites is <1k people.
JAO was an attempt at recruiting radicalized but fence-sitting israelites to the left camp, as a counter-balance to the right wing zionism. Trotsky back in the days was that kind of fence-sitting israelites, too, and visited both zionist and communist meetings, but the JAO had never took off and at best had like 25% of israeli population.
Couldn't US DOD value the cluster-bomb-containing ATACMS at zero or even negative dollars because the US has no plans to use them? Saves the disposal cost to give them to Ukraine.
Looking at the CMC website the following countries need help disposing of significant stockpiles.
Bostwana, Bulgaria, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Peru, Slovakia, South Africa, and Switzerland. Cyprus, Indonesia, Nigeria are signatories but have not ratified, possibly because they are worried about the disposal costs.
Maybe NATO could help out by sending the cargo ship of peace to pick them up and bring them to Ukraine for safe disposal guaranteed to harm no humans.
I mean all those warehouses that had to move due to GMLRS are now going to back in range; Russia is going to have to move more stuff back into Russia and that is going to really frick with their logistical supply lines.
Their supply lines are a joke at this point. Ukrainians gained an artillery advantage and are capable of isolating the battlefield. Even if Russians can get materiel in-theatre, they are incapable of delivering it to the frontlines when Ukies are making a push.
The reason why the front isn't moving is that the Ukies probably arrived at the conclusion that grinding the Russian lines down and destroying their counterattacks is going to result in less casualties than a forced breakthrough. They probably aren't wrong either.
The only thing that could realistically stop this offensive is Ukies running out of ammo, but since they're so confident in freezing the front for a while to work on Russian artillery and strongpoints this probably isn't coming anytime soon.
Russians had to feed their soldiers into the grinder to get targets for artillery. It was continual recon in force effort that killed 500+ soldiers every day.
Ukrainians don't have to do that at all, they have access to NATO intel and likely targeting packages, they have a frickload of drones, their entire C2 network is way faster, and they're capable of operating at night to get that data when the Russians are effectively blind.
It's not at all comparable, Russian armed forces are simply inferior to the AFU and the outcome is that prolonged exchanges of fire greatly benefit the Ukrainians as long as they have the ammo to keep it going. And since they've been stockpiling for about 6x months, they clearly do.
Just fly B-21's over Russia for test flights and have them bomb the shit out of Russian positions. Russian air defence will somehow fail to detect them, it will provide training for the pilots, and Russia won't be able to admit that it happened because it would be pathetic. Simple as, no risk of escalation.
So no more than 53 ATACMS
Will this be enough?
Considering Puccia used thousands of cruise and ballistic missiles and failed to leave a mark, I'd say no.
> Puccia
Cringe

Yeah that would be a good what about if only it hadn't happened before
taliban didn't get any weapons from russia.

Puccia with support from 32 other soviet republics, got btfod in 10 years with waaaay more casualties and political fallout. Whereas we won 😉

The russian campaign in Afganistan was a disaster, yes, you are right.

Yes. Puccia is indeed cringy failed state.

Nuclear option is literally a death sentence for Russia.
so true zister
Thank you Storm Shadow.
What's the difference between HIMARS blast and ATACMS?
longer range
Why do Ukies even need longer range missiles?
Destroy the bridge between Crimea and Russia, Hitting fuel and ammo depots outside of HIMARS range, Hitting train lines outside HIMARS range
To reach more Donestk children, of course.
Are these the Ukranian children that Russia kidnapped or the Ukranian children that Russia is bombing?
To frick up the rail links between eastern and western occupied theaters beyond repair and thus end the war.
forcing supply depots even further back escalating the already strained lines in supplies like ammo. that and unique targets like the bridge
Used up all donetsk and belgorod children so kursk, rostov or krasnodar children are in season now.
91kg vs 230kg HE warhead
HIMARS is the truck launcher.
