It’s nice to see that American weapons are performing the best in ukraine. The javelin and HIMARS combo have done so well its almost can’t believe it

Warriortard making his morning post before going off to be a pathetic incel wagie
What? Are you seriously disagreeing with the OP. What has performed better than HIMARS or javelin?
You're pathetic, that's the only take home.
This
Frick you op
I noticed the post counter didn’t change.
>frick you OP
kek so you can’t argue with the OP you have to lash out in rage. Family killed in a drone strike?

Don't forget, TOWs are now tearing ruskies into pieces as well

Incredible. From the gulf war, to iraq and afghanistan, then syria, now Ukraine. What a storied career
TOW is the 1911 of ATGM

The m777s have also been devastating. There's something like 200 of them in theater now, in daily use. Vatnigs have killed two of them. It was fun watching shade being thrown on russia this week over the fact that they have not managed to find or kill even one HIMARS.
I'm giving an honorable mention to the fact that Hellfire systems have been integrated into Ukrainian MiGs and have been wreaking havoc on vatnig AA for about ten weeks now. What a beautiful Frankenstein solution.
>The m777s have also been devastating.
That's surprising. The M777 is a super refined 155mm artillery piece but it's still fundamentally a howitzer. How bad is Russian recon these days?
>How bad is Russian recon these days?
Seems to depend upon the section of frontline being evaluated. Somewhere between Bad and Non-Existent.
The m777s have been a massive pain to vatniks because they are so easy & fast to move. Which was the entire point of providing them to begin with. No joke, there are only two known kills of m777s. They are that hard to spot and that easy to move & hide.
The second part is the 155 mm ammo. There are a number of variants for specific purposes ... and mostly they land within about 5 meters of whatever is being targeted up to about 80 kilometers away. Fundamentally, the m777 out-reaches most russian artillery by 30 to 50 kilometers so they just keep pounding vatniks from outside their return fire range.
As of about two weeks ago, the U.S. had provided one million 155 mm artillery shells to Ukraine. That does not count all the ammo sent by other countries. There are several 155 mm platforms in Ukraine now, standardizing on NATO specifications. All benefit from the quantity and the variety of ammo options, but the m777s are throwing the large bulk of 155 right now. And it's precision strikes, not random spam "sort of near where we think they might be." Some of these vids we see where a tank is getting one-shotted by artillery are m777s being dialed in by drone spotters.
My original comment wasn't meant to say the m777s were more effective than what OP proposed. I was pointing out that they have been performing nearly all day and all night every day & night for months. They have racked up a huge number of kills plus general mayhem and carnage. Their impact on the battlefield has been quite serious, and highly cost-effective for how hard they are relentlessly punching.
Vatniks will launch 1000 shells in a spray & pray spam tantrum, yet will do less actual damage than 100 well-placed m777 shots. It's "only 155 mm artillery" until you realize that something like 19 out of 20 shots land directly on the target.
No there are already 20 video proofed killed 777s, 30-50km is nothing when russia has 120km mlrs systems and 500km tactical missiles. Basically all nato shit can only survive until it spotted which is the main ru army weakness
No to mention 70km range suicide drones which can can easily fly to everything that have been spotted
>which is the main ru army weakness
That's a pretty big weakness. Remember how the defensive onion works, if the enemy can't find you they can't attack you.
its all because russia arrived too late to the uav dick measuring party
>No there are already 20 video proofed killed 777s
May I see them?
>Fundamentally, the m777 out-reaches most russian artillery by 30 to 50 kilometers so they just keep pounding vatniks from outside their return fire range.
>30-50km is nothing when russia has
Congratulations, you can't read.
>Basically all nato shit can only survive until it spotted
Russian artillery accuracy is, in general, atrocious
Oryx had some captured/disabled zooparks pretty early on. Not sure what they are even doing for counter battery atm.
There have been more videos of them being destroyed than 2. Id guess it’s more in the 15-20 range for total destroyed

I haven’t even gone out of my way to look at pro-Russian sources but I knew they’d lost a handful
eat shit
Well, you're lying and full of shit. But, apart from that, you're also profoundly moronic. good luck with that.
What simping for subhuman slavs does to a mf
Oryx has 16 destroyed 2 damaged M777 on the record + a pile of unidentified towed guns that could be anything. 2 destroyed were just recently. M777 is probably the least appreciated artillery system by Ukies as seen from their reactions (and how often it dies). Like of course you can't dodge a grad barrage on your gridsquare with that gun compared to Krab or Ceasar.
>towed artillery
>relevant
Kek, there is a reason why Ukraine wants German SPAs not something based on what was cutting edge in WW2.
>BUT MUH AIR MOBILITY, MUH DEPLOYABILITY
Most countries are smart enough to figure out that if you are going to tow artillery with a truck you might as well just combine the two and call it a day.
>I don't know anything about the M777 platform

Yeah, we get it, "Professor" McKruger. You have nothing to contribute here, but you're not going to shut the frick up, either. Many such cases.
Yea the American weapons absolutely shine through. Even the old stinger has managed to kill at least a single su-30 (confirmed by the minister of defense of Ukraine). IGLA definitely outshines the stinger tho. And we can’t forget the true GOAT, American intel from awacs and satellites
Just werks
Yeah, NATO weapons from 80s, look like space magic for vatnigs.
Most weaponry are pretty effective when used against complete morons
cope. The US has sent the most effective weapons. Better shit than the UK, France, Germany, you name it
You don't know what "cope" means aren't you?
Try again in English, ESL

Throw in israelites, roaches, and slavs in general then you got a point.
Stinger is dogshit outshines by every other manpad
Nlaw Stopped the armored push into Ukrainian cities giving them the desperately needed time to get their shit together
Those are two irrefutable facts, however now the himars/m270 and the Javelin are pretty much dominating the open areas.
Stinger hasn’t dominated but it’s done well for itself. More reports of stinger kills than piorun by a good bit.
What you gonna do without vatniks on this board? Jerking off in circles with others and revealing how strongly you love Ukraine???
I remember Ukrainians complaining that Javelins didn't work a few weeks into the war. They need special batteries and some shipments didn't come with it.
let me guess, you thought those obvious fake google searches "why javelin no work" were real
Didn't know CBS was fake news.
?t=72
yes
>special batteries
CBS is the quintessential definition of fake news anon
one of the guys who was interviewed by the midget on "speak the truth" on youtube talked about this. Some Ukrainian mechanic was redneck engineering up battery packs for the Javelins for his group, and had like a car battery pack for the training one
>Ukraine had previously been provided with only M31 Unitary Warhead missiles, which are "not ideal against targets spread over large areas, as the deadly chunks are not designed to fly far." As of early October they have been granted the M30A1 which uses the Alternative Warhead that can cover up to "half a square mile of land in a single salvo" with 180,000 tungsten steel BB sized balls
I didn't know they had shotgun missiles. Jesus.
I think NLAW should get some credit too. Really neat little anti tank weapon. Don't have to worry about holding high for distance, and built in windage adjustment. Cheaper than Jav, more portable, and better at closer ranges. Fills a nice little niche.
No sorry it’s just not getting much credit
