well if by ukranian estimates the Russians have built 966 missiles and bought 750 shasneeds over 11 months they can afford to launch 143 missile and drone strikes per month, or a wave of 70 every second week
can we sustain enough RIM-7 and AMRAAM for Ukraine to shoot them all down? idk probably
There's an unholy amount of missiles for NASAMs, since that launcher uses missiles meant for jet fighters and the west loves its jet fighters.
Anyway, as Ukraine gets better and better at shooting down missiles, Russia faces a problem of diminishing returns. If they need 70 PGMs just to get one or two through to a target, it becomes prohibitively expensive to attack in this manner.
Do you think the rest the world thinks the RU nuclear stockpile is functional? If they can’t keep their flagships floating, air craft carrier power plants running, they absolutely can’t maintain much more expensive nukes. Its all a bluff and I hope the west calls RU on it. I bet the only functional nukes were already detonated in tests.

>Its all a bluff and I hope the west calls RU on it.
well the best way to ensure that happens is to stop coping and fantasizing russia will collapse on its own in two more weeks and take stock of the current situation and russia's capabilities and respond vigorously
A missile intended to be used for shooting down other missiles is paying for itself both by destroying the enemy missile and protecting the target of the enemy missile.
A missile that was supposed to hit a target and gets intercepted is a loss, since it didn't do its job. Ukraine getting better interception capabilities means any target of a Russian missile strike needs to have exponentially more PGMs assigned to it, which makes the strike more expensive.
Ukraine should find the missile factories and sabotage them inside Russia. Bonus if they can locate the stockpiles of chips Russia amassed before the war.
If Russians lose the means to produce missiles, they are fricked.
The real kicker is not NASAMs but modern (and even old) SPAAGs. A radar-assisted SPAAG like tunguska or gepard can take down some cruise missiles for a bargain, and it would have an even easier time against drones. The only problem is that it has a very short range of engagement, so you either need to know where the threat is coming from or be on top of the target.
ukraine can count quite well how many rockets did hit ukraine, there is also visual evidence of hits on infrastructure, even the kind of missile is easy to identify, this part should be accurate, total number of russian missiles and productiona is as reported by russia, this might be fake and even lower, we talk about russia after all
Reminder that USAF took down the entire Iraqi power grid with two cruise missiles in a strike so devastating they never recovered
Russia has launched thousands of missiles at the Ukrainian power grid and still can only achieve temporary power outages
Yes.

>it becomes prohibitively expensive to defend in this manner
ftfy dill.
LMAO. No such thing when the west can spend a hundred times what Russia does without even really starting to dig into its reserves.
Gepard shells, MANPADS and short-range SAMs cost the west proportionally far less than even Shasneeds cost Russia.
cope and seethe hato troony. russia can trade a single nuke for ten thousand shaheeds.
Which need CHIPS to work. We've identified the Western components that the Iranians use for the drones. We will cut those supply lines.
No Western components = no Iranian drones.
You're running out of tricks, Vatnik.

2 more attacks and russia will run out of missiles for real this time tho
thank you comrade
If they have enough missiles why aren't they shooting them?
you're right it's been a week since the last multiple day missile barrage, russia's done
What did russia achieve?
Even more western military equipment and ammunition for ukraine.
On top of "Russian Lend-Lease".
>What did russia achieve?
nice goalpost shift to you concede the missile attacks have not stopped
>stopped
Reduced to an ineffectual drizzle is just as good in practice.
that's the cope on uhg lately?
>uhg
You need to go back.
indeed frick off with your inane cope
You need to go back, cum/chug/er.
bump
>cum/chug/er tourist reduced to try telling others to leave
LMAO. /k/ is pro-Ukraine and anti-vatBlack person. Deal with it.
>everybody is le vatnik
back to your containment thread rat
We need to double down. Cut off the supply of advanced chips to Iran and Russia.
Already done. Even China did it.
Too bad it's so easy to circumvent sanctions with just an extra bit of money.
2 more strikes and oinkrainians are gonna surrender for real this time tho
no because terror bombing has almost never worked
Fake numbers
ukraine can count quite well how many rockets did hit ukraine, there is also visual evidence of hits on infrastructure, even the kind of missile is easy to identify, this part should be accurate, total number of russian missiles and productiona is as reported by russia, this might be fake and even lower, we talk about russia after all
This.
Applies to the whole "war" from the get go.
he-he
Reminder that USAF took down the entire Iraqi power grid with two cruise missiles in a strike so devastating they never recovered

looks like russia has mainly air defense (s300) and anti-ship missiles left
