How can the ATACMS be stealthier than Storm Shadow when the latter is literally a stealthy cruise missile and the former a SRBM? There's so many morons on mainstream media.

you mean the site that has straight up simped for Russia in this war?
It's literally TASS, written by Russians pretending to be Indian
Majority of their military content is marketing for Russian equipment

you are a moronic turd shill
Theoretically one could use radar to track the planes that launch storm shadow. ATACMS is just a truck, which is harder to track. It's not relevant because rusoid ISR doesn't exist. TZD
and you are apparently too moronic to understand a 15 words sentence.
These things are seriously living rent free eh? So are you making these threads and then mass reporting them?
This is the one time I'll give pajeets the benefit of a doubt - while the missile itself is basically a Tochka with far better CEP, the launch platform is hell of a lot stealthier then dusting off the 10 or so remaining SU-24's.
>I'll give pajeets the benefit of a doubt
Except that Ukraine has already launched several Hrim-2 SRBMs towards Crimea and we're intercepted by Russian S300 and S400. Also the Ukrainian managed to shoot down some Iskanders during the initial days with their S300.
ATACMS doesn't bring anything new to the table.
Whatever helps you sleep at night
Ukrainian S300 was able to shoot down Russian Iskanders (which is longer range and travels at higher speeds than the ATACMS), and the Russians managed to shoot down Ukrainian Hrim-2s which have similar specs to the ATACMS since they're meant for the export market. So what makes you think that the ATACMS is some wunderwaffe SRBM? It's because It's made in the US of A?
>because it was made by the US
Yes are you moronic?
>So what makes you think that the ATACMS is some wunderwaffe SRBM?
By itself it has worse chance than when being accompanied by Storm Shadow and whatever EW stuff the west has given.
There's not much russians can do against such "strike package" to be honest.
> ussians managed to shoot down Ukrainian Hrim-2s
With themselves?
with a couple of strategic bombers, an ammo depot and a bridge
Easier to launch = more targets hit
>and we're intercepted by Russian S300 and S400
Are we now?
>Ukraine has already launched several Hrim-2 SRBMs towards Crimea and we're intercepted by Russian S300 and S400.
Yes, the S400 successfully intercepted the Hrim-2 with its radar system, just like the Kerch Strait Bridge intercepted that truck bomb with its vehicle traffic span to protect the ocean below.
Russians are very successful at intercepting and destroying Ukrainian missiles with their aircraft, helicopters, and radar systems.

Who names this shit
Anon I...
That's the Bri'ish designated name, they would tell you to not deadname it when you call it what it is, SCALP.

chuggers are actually trannies, holy shit it finally makes sense!
I guess because the Storm Shadow requires an SU-27 and other specialised aircraft to launch, so if the Russians see one taking off, they have a good idea that one might be about to get launched.
ATACMS is just a cruise missile loaded onto the back of a truck, and the Russians don't really know where they are already, which means the Russians now have to deal with the fact that a cruise missile could be launched anywhere along the front with no clues to tell them when and where.
The main advantage of ATACMS is prompt fires.
It can be fired and hit a target in minutes instead of hours and that's useful for time sensitive targets.
Otherwise it's not particularly better than Stormshadow.
Supposedly there are some RCS reduction features on the missile it's self; you can see that the fins are faceted for example, and it can presumably maneuver, but it's anybody's guess how it will do against air defences.
The typical Russian defensive system is likely not S-400 but S-300VM for this threat.
Thread. ATACMS can be fired far closer to the front, so it reduces the reaction time for the vathomies to move valuable assets. Obviously, how many ATACMS are sent to Ukraine, and its effectiveness is to be seen.
Those are some chunky looking boys. I can't wait to see the videos of them blowing up Russian stuff.

Will pajeets ever stop seething ? And can this be harnessed as an alternative source of energy ? Better than burning all that cow dung.
the article mentions stealth LAUNCH capability, maybe there's a reason, learn to read moron
>stealthier launch
>big ass missile flying 100k ft in the sky
It's gonna be seen by every radar that exists. The cruise missiles are way better as only SHORAD can deal with them. It will be shot down by long range sams.
so the ukrainians are marvel but russians are DC?
Intercepting ballistic missiles requires more than just having missiles capable of doing it. You also need a capable radar and be pointing it up instead of into the horizon, if it's some kind of multipurpose "it can do both!" radar. And then you need to be in position with you intercepting launcher close-ish to the BMs target. We've seen in this war that it's quite doable, but you still need to be going for it before the launch.

no, now shut your smelly third worlder mouth and say something worth the oxygen you're breathing.

Surely there's a name that you can trust. Everyone knows that poos are tech geniuses who definitely don't get their engineering degrees from photocopier machines.
